lol ... I dont get how you can abuse the fish in chat. Most of them are just trying to have a good time and are donating money to all of us.

Just recently I got disconnect cheated by a fish in a huge pot. And I just asked him if he knew that this was illegal. He was pretty astonished about it not being allowed as he thought thats what the disconnect protect tables are for

... I had to explain the actual reason for these tables to him lol. Maybe he leveled me ... but you get the point

Yeah I have been thinking over the last couple of weeks how fishy midstakes 6m/fr has been. Some fresh blood too, which is nice to see. Have party had some sort of promotional drive, or is it just noise?

from the SSNL party thread. Not as good as FTP's move but still a step in the right direction!

1st phase – We will start this phase in March, and hopefully have it completed by April.

• Add table name prefix “short” to all 20BB tables. 20BB Tables will have limited range of Game Play Type (Speed and Regular)

• Add 35BB tables with no table name prefix (assume to be ‘standard’ tables). 35BB Tables will have full range of Game Play Type (including Jackpot).

• Remove all 50BB tables.

2nd phase – Tentative plan to have completed by Summer.

Introduce a legend/icon table naming system, which allows players to easily find the games they want to play. Leave 35BB games as the ‘standard” buy-in, non-legend tables.

Party Poker highstakes is such crap lately, almost never any games or like 1 or 2 games 10/20+ with 10+ waitlists. Or 6 games with everybody sitting out, it seems time to switch from Party to another decent network.

I started learning Omaha recently so that's filling out extra tables at the moment but probably switch some/most of my action to another site. Probably iPoker or FullTilt. Have to check out the other sites first I guess.

Only reason is that ppl just stopped starting new tables. If 2 regs starts playing ppl will often join. As of now the games are dead and I've had to add another site a long time ago although I prefer using only one kind of software at a time.

btw, tried to start some tables yesterday with two regs that were sitting alone in almost every 2/4 6-max table available and they ninja sit out whenever i join.

is it so difficult to understand that i don't want to play a reg heads up 4life and just want to keep a new game going so the fish can join? if u want to bumhunt, go to a heads-up table and keep the lobby clean, plz.

I'm a fan of the new 35bb standard change. Should start improving things a bit.

35bb min ftw!

Right now they are clueless on how to play postflop poker. They will most likely improve over time (although the reverse is certainly possible), but they will for sure be less of a nuisance. They will still have an intrinsic advantage playing in a game with five 100bb stacks, but the advantage will be much smaller than today.

This is going to be very interesting...

yeah the improvement plan seems good...its basically the same as FTP it looks like except for the absence of deep tables.

Yeah, that is probably the most likely scenario. The problem is that their strategy works best if there is only one shortstacker per table, so if they all flood a new site or network this will basically destroy the games on that site.

Also, first FTP introduced the change and now Party follows. It is very like that all other major sites and networks will follow.
