Hey Colette,

What happens if I win multiple powerfest tickets to events 010, 116,223 and 337? I assume I have to play every event once and then the remaining tickets get converted into tournament dollars. Is that correct?

Kind Regards, Joeri.

Additional question about LBs. How will 2-day events count, which start at Sunday but 2nd day is in Monday.
08-31-2017 , 08:03 AM
You running any kind of mega sats to high events on the day of the event?If yes are they in the lobby now, and if not can they be in the lobby before sunday.
If there are no mega sats, can you consider adding some.$11 megasat to event 1 10 seats gtd would be great for example on sunday morning.

Thanks

There's still an annoying bug in deal-making. This has been around probably since feature was introduced, I am disappointed that it hasn't been fixed. Bug is like this:

- When deal-making is started, player in chiplead who should can't write to the deal window chat -> this can usually be fixed by choosing table chat first and then again clicking back to deal window chat.

- If not familiar with the bug and people not happy with automatic deal based on chip counts deal-making usually ends with chipleader quitting the deal because he can't participate to deal discussion and people either wondering why no deal or how bad software is. Anyways, people are super frustrated that critical bugs like this aren't fixed in a year or so.

I think this bug has happened more often than not to me when making a deal from chiplead. Can fix it out, but really there's lots of players who can't. Please finally fix it at your next software update.

Yes very annoying bug. You can also fix it, when you close the deal window (which doesnt quit the deal discussion) and than click "view deal making" to go back to the deal window again. Took me a while to figure that out...
Also please add a feature, that allows to split bounties in a chipcount deal. Would make it much easier, if you dont have to calculate it yourself every time

The Uppercut II - PSKO turbo re-entry.

Really? Why trying to force PSKO down our throats when people have clearly voted it down in player counts (main reason probably being that they cannibalize each other a lot). It's even more annoying as there's 215 Eliminator2 with ridiculous 7,5k guaranteed starting at the very same time and Balboa turbo PSKO starting 1 hour earlier.

Please remove Eliminator 2 at least. It has been super underperforming ever since it was introduced and why keep 37,5 buy-in unpopular tournament in schedule, it just calls for some night 3 people gang to show up and flip it out (like someone did with Clubber last night with 4 prople and you afterward increased required players to 6). It will give room for Uppercut to grow, whether it is regular or PSKO re-entry.

I think in addition to that, Clubber2 would perform better if it started one hour earlier. If you keep UC2 as turbo PSKO re-entry and remove Eliminator 2 it would also mean tha people who usually start their session could play UC2 and Clubber2 without having to stretch their session too long.

If you want to keep current tournament count, then I would suggest moving switching places between Uppercut II and Balboa, and remove Eliminator 2 but add another 109$ turbo in between Balboa and Clubber2.

Ill raise this with the tech team - I was under the impression this has been fixed in full
Possibly its popped back up due to the release?

Evidence of collusion on high leaderboard, which a lot of people said would happen and now it has happened. Medium daily leaderboard had a lot worse going on.

As gilbert said we're talking a $150k scam going on. I mean are those guys gonna still be playing in the Caribbean event Collette?

With all its faults at least original daily leaderboard didn't have such major problems with collusion and was possible to play without going to super ultra grind no-social life/work mode for whole week

I think there was collusion in last year CPP LB too, but didn't have time and interest to follow up as it was easy enough to win packages anyway.

As a positive note I think that collusion will be harder after summer, since fields will be larger. With most tournaments having even 30-50 players in a tournament and only top4-6 getting points collusion can have devastating effects, not just LB wise but moneywise (bubble at the FT, 2+ colluding players can do nasty things there) as well.

Yeah I don't think it should be locked - the issue concerned affected quite a few people - those guys have won a decent amount of packages and I haven't heard anything about compensation to those who lost out.

+1. They ran a promo that was begging for cheats and now we can't even discuss the obvious aftermath.

Please adjust gtd for 109 party PLO? when was the last time it overplayed?

And just a shame Fest offers few small freezeout PLO events and 300 holdem events w/ 2 re-entires.

+1, bring it up to 7,5k. Also bring back 17:00 GMT PLO which was removed for summer? It didn't overlay either.

Have asked a mod to re-open thread. To be fair the first mod might not have known how many people this would have affected etc. Imo the discussion has a lot of room to run and it would be derailed speaking about it here :P
Really want to know what party did here because a lot of those packages won would have been sold.

Hello,

I was made aware of the threat by friends and i would like to react at the accusations made by Gylbert regarding to collusion in the Leaderboard promotion and clarify some things.

First of all i do know all the nicknames involved in this issue and i can guarantee that none of the accounts is shared or used by the same people. We are indeed all familiar with each other and proffesional Mtt grinders that already for years often play in the same games at all the pokersites around like many proffesionals Mtt players do. (PioMyass) is just a regular who changed his nickname.

The accusations made by Gylbert are just false and based on nothing. All the claims regarding to chipdumping , fake playing pots and everything related to this is just
nonsense and there is no single evidence for this also not in his post and i am very confident partypoker is not gonna find either.

With regards to deals, I try to always make a deal when I am heads up or 3 handed with regulars or friends Its blatanly stupid to play hu or 3 handed without little edge in the middle of sessions. Especially in weeks where you make very long days because of the leaderboad. During the time period of your ******ed accusation I also made deals where I am second in chips and where it would hurt me for the leadersboard: a hu deal with Adrien/brrrrrrody ( don't wanna post his nick) in the highroller, when I was 2nd in chips.
Sure I would not make a deal if I needed to win to win a ticket, this is my decision and I see no problems there. It has never happened that I played with any of my friends where we make a deal after some heads up play ( to manipulate the chiplead, this would be obv cheating ).

Also i won just one package with this leaderboard promotion. Same as PioMyAss and Firgli until now. Dos_Cervezas won indeed multiple but almost all of them were won in weeks when I was in Vegas for WSOP. Also i can provide many hand history's or other proof that we don't collude so i guess it must be clear that the accusations made by Gylbert are just false

Also i will PM Party rep to make clear that i didn't do anything wrong. As it is very strange that partypoker didn't contact us until this point and that it really looks like that i am punished while i didn't hear anything from them until this point.

I hope everything is clear for everyone as i am an Mtt regular for years now with a good reputation so i don't like to see story's like this going around. If you have questions you can always PM me.

Regards,

Nelisschuif

Hi,

I'm very surprised to see gylbert's post pop up here and apparently being taken somewhat seriously by people here including Party_Rep, when party never contacted me about anything.

I think gylbert's post mainly consists of empty accusations about chipdumping, multiaccounting and collusion. Those are very serious accusations, and none of them are backed up by any proof and completely untrue. I am very surprised to see 2+2 just let someone post a ton of slander about me and others.

I mostly agree with nelisschuif's post and would like to quickly show that gylbert's claims are ridiculous, that he hasn't provided any proof, and are not true.

About multiaccounting, gylbert has a theory that "we" used 4 accounts, played on by 2 persons. He doesn't provide any proof for this. This is a completely ridiculous claim and I know the other 3 players personally and can confirm that they are real humans playing on their own account. It's a long grind to play this leaderboard on 1 account, while also making a profit. It's ridiculous to think anyone would try and play these insane hours on more than 1 account - it's just not true.

We are all some of the highest volume regs on the party mid/highstakes so yes of course we will have played a lot of tournaments against each other, so what?

About the deal I agree with nelis post. Firstly you can make a deal whenever and with whoever you like, and I can show you many examples where I also "snapdealt" with other people, and not always when I was chipleader. This can be for any reason, for example I don't see the use to play a long headsup against a good reg, or I'm busy playing a lot of tables and don't want to spend a lot of attention on a 3handed or hu table (especially when it's plo, which is not my main game). I don't see a problem here.

Before you "go All in for my life into this. " maybe you should come up with some actual proof about this: "All week long, I’ve seen strange things between them, fake playing pots, giving chips, making strange deals"

You can search for proof but you won't find any, because none of that ever happened.

Happy to answer any questions here.

Regards,

Firgli
