Getting back on topic,

When are the turbos at :30 coming? I thought they were going to be added in very soon after the latest revamp of the schedule?

There was a ton of previous discussion about this topic and I too was of the understanding from Pads that, these games would've already been added to the schedule by now.

PP aren't doing themselves any favours when it comes to player retention. If someone busts out of an MTT early, do you really think there going to sit around waiting for up to an hr for the next MTT to start?! I think it's more likely a number of these players will logout and go elsewhere.

PP needs to have MTT's running more frequently or at the very least (as has also already been discussed previously in great detail), have some 180 man SNG/MTT's running alongside the main schedule.

This is a cross post from the main partypoker thread on NVG. If anyone reason this hasn't seen it yet, then its worth a read.

I have just made a complaint to the UKGC about the behaviour of partypoker and their relationships with stables like BITB and BRS.

http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk...omplaints.aspx

I chose the section, 'whistleblowing about a way that a gambling business is run'.

I would suggest that this is the kind of thing that would be more effective if a number of people voiced their concerns about.

The UKGC has recently investigated and fined various UK facing companies and I feel that this will be taken seriously.

Party rep/ pads. I read in another thread that mochalov13 (sp) ended up finishing 2nd in the leaderboard.

It's been proven here a few times now that he's been doing something unethical. Botting or account sharing. No one plays for days on end.

I assume you WILL start by revoking his leaderboard prize and pausing his entire account until you do a further investigation (checking his sharkscope).

Please reply to this.

Hey guys

Pre party I used to love posting in the stars thread (and looking back was sometimes overly critical!) but always felt it would be great if there was somebody connected between the site and the players, somebody that played and understood what was going on and could relate back reasons why things are happening, make sure that all feedback was listened to and implemented/changed when its necessary. When partypoker asked me to get involved I kind of voluntarily offered to be this for partypoker on 2p2, I knew lot of players don't have time to do it, but I genuinely believe it to be an important role of 1) Explaining to players changes, posting the changes, 2) Getting a committee of players from all stake levels/game types that could act as an advisory panel and 3) Make sure that when people asked for stuff it was definitely listened to internally. I understood it would take a lot of time, posting after sessions etc.

Right now its just not very healthy, there is a lot of posts that are just very tough to reply to, a lot of repetitive posts from people. I've said it before that no site will cater for every single player, if you want to play 4 max then not every site will have 4 max, if the site says that they won't implement 4max then posting again and again about it just slows down other discussing points. There is a lot of lies which is always pretty strange, then their is random accusations and the odd insult. It just isn't really somewhere that 1) I would like to be involved with, 2) It is GTO for me to spend time working with partypoker. Hours spent trying to clear name from any wrongdoing could just be spent making sure every tournament is better.

I will just depart the thread now, Colette is very very good, capable and known to you all and can reply to a lot of your posts and suggestions. I will continue working with the advisory panel from 2p2 or around 10 guys that will make sure all of your thoughts are listened to internally.

There have been changes over the last 1-2 years that IMO are industry defining and the progress of the MTT part of the site from 2016 to now is more than any of us could have imagined. However there is changes happening in the next couple of months that will be the biggest of all time IMO. We're working very hard for the players behind the scenes here and I'm sure all (well 99% ) will be very happy to hear about them. More news coming very soon about them.

This was probably the tip of the iceberg, I have commented a lot about bitB and partypoker. If you ask any player who has ever played for us there's never been any preferential treatment, if anything me being associated with bitB and Party makes bitB less money. There has never been any form of affiliation. If you think about 100+ spin players, bunch of cash players and over 100 MTT players all raking a lot of money sites pay very, very, very good money for this. We're talking $1m+ affiliation potential money, but I'm more than happy with the structure of partypoker loyalty system and I don't want to get extra $0.01 from partypoker. Of course I help players who have issues, but I also helped 500+ players not from bitB with personal issues with their accounts over the last year. I love helping everybody in the community.

In terms of integrity, cheating, I'm not sure what you're implying about what we could potentially be doing together. Seeing hole card? Super-using? These are very serious and slanderous accusations that I take extreme disgust to. Being involved with a site has nothing to do with ghosting or softplaying (two things we are the cleanest stable in the world at btw) but it has nothing to do with being associated to the site. The fact you are suggesting that there is something dodgy from partypoker offering bitB players makes me absolutely outraged.

In terms of partypoker offering more value to bitB players than others and it being a scheme by bitB to maximise value. Again, the additional value given in leader boards worth millions that is the main addition to the site in terms of value comes for completely different players than bitB players. Not 1 of our players ever actively plays for a leader board and I would bet a big part of my net worth every week at even odds that we would not come close to winning any leader board or extra incentive given to players. Of course bigger prizepools helps bitB players, but it also helps pocarr players, recreational players, everybody. Thats all I've done from day one is try and support the whole MTT player base for more tournaments, bigger tournaments, better structures, more time slots etc. It's sad having to defend myself on this thread that my players are not superusing etc. Very sad to see.

Will depart this thread now, but continue trying to do the best job possible for all players, hope to see you all at the tables and thanks for all the constructive posts, I will continue to work with advisory panel, Collete and all internal staff to make the site bigger and better on a daily basis.

Thx Pads for your service.

Could you have the next rep that speaks on behalf of Party and is "for the players" address the leaderboard scandals/bot scandals/80% rb deals for some staking sites/HS collusion teams/illegal huds and any posts in general that don't highlight Party's ever increasing guarantees. Thx.

Pads did a great, maybe even stellar job with MTTs - leaderboards have turned into a clusterfck tho and he really doesn't seem to mind. Saying the issue lies with security is laughable - he apparently worked really hard on building this leaderboard so should accept responsibility if it's rewarding cheaters.

A solution at this point might be to cap total packages that can be won at 4 or 5. High stakes players still win 20-25k equity while new regs could be attracted since prizes are more winnable.

edit: Don't have issues with Pads leaving thread - but just shows how good a job Colette does day in day out. Deserves a managerial role.

We have added the following



Obviously a huge change and we hope there is a lot of support. There will be a lot of marketing, promotions and campaigning for this project. It should support the bigger games on our site that will allow us continue pushing the guarantees in the right direction.
Thanks for listening to feedback and adding afternoon satellites

I for one appreciated the insights into what was happening in relation to MTT's that you provided Pads. I don't think we'll have that same level of insight or be as well informed moving forward now that you've left the thread, which is disappointing.

Thanks for your efforts in relation to the vast improvements already implemented.

Colette is an absolute 'Rockstar' IMO and PP are very lucky to have her as there social media rep (or whatever her official job title is). Agree that she would be very deserving of and excel in a managerial role but, hope she stays doing what she's doing (at least until such time as she's able to be 'cloned' and version Colette 2.0 comes out)!

Interesting you say theres a whole lot of posts hard to reply to.

I'm not sure how a yes or no answer to the 8-10-12 structures is a hard question. Maybe Collette can answer. Anyway you have tried hard and done good things so thanks.

I also don't enjoy 6-max too much and I would play them occasionally but not all the time. I think main portion of games should be 8-max.

Still waiting for the 0:30 tourneys indeed. The morning schedule is an outrageous 6hrs of 6maxbountypunterturbodonkmyKK.
If you bust yes u have to wait looong for another one, just silly.


0:00 8max (8min lvl-10 after lvl16)
0:30 6max (5min lvl - 6after lvl16)

Why is it difficult ?

Wanted to give Party a try, installed the software and it doesn't run. I had to click it like 5 times, closed processes from task manager and after like 5th time doing this, client finally popped up. It didn't stop there, was unable to login as the login popup couldn't load and gave me some blank page with an error. Reinstall didn't work, needless to say i uninstalled it and will wait for another few years before i try again.

While the schedule is reasonable, it is full of very large field, very big prizepools compared to before, many different buy in levels, the problem I face is, often I'm home from work, and might only have 3-5hrs on a given day to play, I look at the schedule and can't do anything but close the client.

There is literally nothing on the schedule I can reg with the time I have allotted. I'm sure there are many recs out there just like me and these gaps need filling.

I'll late reg the 5-6pm $1-$5 that are running when I get home from work and that's it. I know the 7pm one will run past 2am so I'm not interesting in that.
