Hi Party, sorry for your crash last sunday.

I want ask you guys, why are you giving 4 (i think it is the number?) packs worth 10k EVERY WEEK for the same guys over and over again?

Why cant you split 2 packs for high stakes LB and 2 for low? I know low can win upto 530$ tickets, but, cmon..

It is just a good thing giving packs for low LB, the field in the live target will be a lot easier, a LOT of entrys will convert in buyins for the tornament and not only t$ for the sames 10 guys.


Please, consider this, at least give me a reply telling why it is better to give packs just for the high LB.

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in this thread? Scroll back a 100 to 200 messages...

Hype: Improve PartyPoker. Get more recreational players to the site because a Great schedule, improved platform, etc.

Reality: Some improvements made to platform, but ultimately crashes at critical times. Re-arranging tournaments that recs enjoyed because the Party staff and poker pros know better (rather than listening to customers). Reduce the time a rec can use a satellite ticket, even though they may not have time to play the target tournament that week.

Bottom line, the hype sounded great. But you guys are missing it. Pads please stop being so defensive and padding your argument by quoting your friends (ie. Blakkman or whatever his 2p2 nick is). I could ramble on more, but Im sure THAT TOO will fall on deaf ears

+1 on explanation for leaderboard compilation - seems a bit mad to run a competition that includes buy-ins from $55 all the way to $5k. Change it to a daily or at least limit the packages that can be won like Pokerstars is now implementing for certain promos.

I wonder how many of them miss the one week period, lose their ticket and turn their back on the site because you literally feel robbed. At least thats what I would feel.
Absolutey agree here. It's a shady policy and even though I've been playing for ages on PP I had to find out about this by missing a ticket and support telling me about its unfortunate expiration resulting in a very demotivated customer towards your sat tab.
So as collecting some tickets, use them on a sunday or what have you is out of the question, I'd still play some sats if there were any decent ones. Lets say I there's one of your $109/$215 starting in about an hour, I'd happily spend a couple of bucks on clicking a few sats but most of the time there's only one starting within the next hour, where I still have to pay attention to the possibility this one doesn't put my into some Punta Cana 1 Seat Gtd. crapshot I'm not interested in.
As you heavily focus on making the few tourneys you have right now bigger, why not add a decent sat system to each and every one of them?

:15 SuperSat
:30 TurboSat
:45 LastChanceHyperYoloSat

or something like that, you get the picture. Love that on .fr/.es and it's something you really can rely on.

Something else which annoys me for ages now is your poor buy-in system. Speaking for myself I mostly play around the $22-55 range, adding a couple of $7,50 $11, etc. at the bottom and a couple of $75-$109 on top. Right now I almost exclusively play the $22 portion of your schedule due to a lack of variety (at least for me), the mentioned missing/misleading sats and MAINLY the poor filter options.
I'd add a few $11 tourneys for sure but the lobby is automatically a mess with all the $1-5,50 stuff appearing there as well now and everything up to $5200 while looking for the 1-2 $109 tourneys I might be interested in.



You have a decent system in your SNG Lobby. Why not implement this into the Tournaments Tab?

The sats have massive overlays, it s time guys, really easy get some tickets.
the 1pm 22$to109$ had 89players so 1780$ added and GTD was 2725$
Means 28% players got tickets ! Turn 2.5$ to 109$ is not bad, at least balance the poor low stakes current program....
Almost 1K given by PP, Enjoy folks !

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but got my equity share refunds and I would need to know which part is for what tournament since I didn`t have all my own action in one of them, any way to easily figure this out?

I'll be there first to say it's amazing you've brought back 6 max games. Looking at some today, does any 6-max with the current structure (very slow gradual increases) need to be 16 mins? Seems wayyyy to much for 6 max.

"Remember 2 weeks ago everybody said games needed to be a lot shorter, I agreed, again, like I said previously there was a vision behind reducing the clocks, get guarantees to x then change clocks to y and keep guarantees x."
- Pads

Clears it up nicely imo. Add the x and y together and square root the sum total then BAM 16 minute blind levels

109 PLO is back with 5k guaranteed. Very glad to see it back alongside some 22 PLOs but so much for "all tournaments have to get 100+ runners" though with LB and 3 lololol re-entries it probably get 100 entries from <50 players.

Much like pads earlier "all tournaments in the future will have 2 hrs max late reg"-statement earlier which backfired super bad and lasted like few days (now some have 3+ hours because ridiculous 16 min levels).

E: Pads you would so much more credible if you would just admit your mistakes: that you blew it up with PLOs removed earlier, acknowledged it publicly after mentioned here thanking for bringing it out and fixed it. It's okay to make mistakes, when one just admits them and doesn't sound like a Trump who takes no responsibility but takes all the credit every time. It's not like most of us here is blaming Party just for no reason, many people are making up valid points and you just ignore them.

I only got 364.75$ for more than 1.6x startingstack in the 5,300$ SHR? How's that possible. I would pay that in a heartbeat to start sunday with that stack.

I tried to talk to support in the chat. But he said he couldnt even see any refunds, nor did he even know what a SHR was and only half my messages were coming through.

It's bad enough that the servers crash, but the follow up might be even worse. Takes multiple days. No ways to check how you did the calculations or what your stack was anyway. @ Stars at least an alghoritm does it and you get an e-mail with your stack and how everything was calculated. Useless support also.

So they aren't sending e-mails with refund details? I have no idea how much money I got. Is it written somewhere in the client?

I couldn't agree more. I was 3/39 when the disconnect started and my bounty was over $200 in Sunday Bounty Hunter M ($55) 40K gtd. Over 3k for 1st.

So if we were to do chip model after all remaining players received their buyins back, then my total should look something like:

$55 (buyin) + ~$200 (bounty) + ~$1000= $1255

Not the $55 + $792.70 (unexplained)= $847.70

Really feels like I was robbed of $400 equity.

Please help me understand.

Yeah, I'm guessing it has to do with deciding to pay everyone still in the tournament their buy-in back. Because they were so slow with the calculations.

It makes no sense that people with 0 chips get 0$ and people with 1 chip from 100k get their 5300$ back. Esp in a PKO that's a huge amount of equity lost if you start out fine.

If you decide to pay everyone their BI back(below start) that should be coming out of your pocket not out of mine.

Not exactly MTT related, but be nice if in the SnG section we could filter out those god awful horrid DoN's, so making a separate check box for 9 or 10 player would do it. Otherwise epic improvements of late, I can almost look at the lobby and play it's tables without going blind now. good themes kinda Stars style. Players spew their asses off too

The refund policy is pretty ridiculous. This time it was great for me being short in the 5k but it really isn't fair to give people that have 2x startingstack only like 1.1x their buy-in.

Imagine people are very short in one of the 25ks on your site, it is actually worth it to bring down the site and receive the buy-in back. This is probably not easy but surely some people have the means/connections to do something like this?

Would be nice to implement similar buyin filter to MTT section as well. Cant be that hard if it is already done and it would be really helpful to filter out specific buyin levels. Especially with new 1k+ high stakes games.
