Since they don't have an affiliate program, I can only assume that this comes directly from management himself? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

This isn't new. It's been going on since just a little after Poker Prophecy hit the scene. It's one of the reasons I don't feel good about having given them money.

When I see that I usually just ask the guy on my left if he is a fish.

It was really nice, I had many semi-bluffs workout. I ended up placing 1st in this tournament and my hero who figured out I'm doing well placed 2nd.

there is no such thing as a pro in $20 tables... you have a decent win rate tho... mines better tho.

Well, everyone knows the the money you win at the 20s is worth much less than the money you win at the 100s (which is where the official cut-off for pro-dom starts).

So Stupidsucker misses the 'official cut-off for pro-dom'?

Maybe investing in him isnt such a good idea if he misses the cut off.

I totally agree! In fact, I do not believe there are any professional poker players, period. I was at the Taco Bell the other day, and who do you think took my order...none other than Phil Hellmuth. He was very good. He was able to look in to my soul and proclaimed that I wanted two Baja Chalupas and an iced tea without me saying a word.

To get back on topic. I saw this when I played the other night. I emailed info@partypoker.com. They looked up the screen name Cupofyogurt from the hand history I sent them. PP then sent them a warning and will be watching their chat from now on.

I suggest anyone else who sees this to report it. Chat will not be much fun if we have to deal with spam.

Dude they have like a million screen names that they spam from. Reporting them to Party isn't gonna do anything. Notice that nothing's changed now?

Just turn chat off.

I thought all money was worth the same. Except for, like, Canadian money.

It couldn't hurt to report the names. Party seeing a lot of complaints might get them to take more or harsher action than if the spamming is just ignored.

What they should do is make it so you have to have money in your account to chat at a non-playmoney/private table, then start freezing the accounts of spammers.

That's a good idea and probably wouldn't be too hard to do.

While I should probably leave this topic alone /images/graemlins/smile.gif I will let you know that Party Poker already requires that.
