I think you're right -- and of course, I was big stack 5-handed in one of my SnGs. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

How do they handle this?

[scott8]

Empire as well /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[jonoo]

so did multipoker

[caseclosed326]

crap im in like 5th in the super wed what happens?!?

[pokerraja]

wow, i was involved in major hand in NL200. I turned the nutflush and was getting reraised by a guy when everything just stopped. Unreal. Im curious as to how this will play out. I had $184 behind me, with $69 in our main pot. with action to me after he raised my bet.

[stanky]

I wish it crashed b4 I lost that $650 pot a second ago /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[redsoxsox]

It crashed just when I won a 4000 pot. Will I get my money if it showed the results and showdown but I didnt rake the pot.

[CUonCRUISE]

they have a formula for payout for party crashes. everyone gets a piece that is still in.

[redsoxsox]

A piece it showed and said the showdown results I better get it in full

[YourFoxyGrandma]

Do you know if they keep vig?

[this guy]

What happens if I was in the middle of a hand? I had aces in in a pot that was capped 5 ways pf and I had a perfect ragged flop...

[Losing all]

Dang intertops too. It's like the whole network is down!!

[Meatmaw]

Does that hold for SNGs too? so if there are 5 people left in a $50 ($500 pot) then each one gets $100?

[Bellagibro]

yeah but you lose your %(&#@ blind money. I'm going to take a good $50 in missed blind. I'm on the button in one 15/30 and in the cutoff on another. %*(##@ you Party.

[ecm1185]

any chance that the tournaments will be continues or are they automatically canceled?

[caseclosed326]

what about tournies? i dont just want my buy in back

[La Brujita]

Anyone have any idea how long they wait before cancelling tourneys?

[grouchie]

Man, I was not in the middle of any big hands at all.

The best I can claim is that I had a double Gut draw on one table and i'm pretty sure someone was going to make me call a bet to see the turn.

[goodguy_1]

big time I just smooth called the flop to raise the turn w/ a set of kings. I quickly switched over from BellSouth DSL to Comcast Cable when it happened but it is not on my end. I can surf the web w/ no problem. I'm at Jolly Roger $5-10 Full...2 retards and top set ...grrr

[modaddy]

Do they usue stack size or does everyone get the same amount? I was doing pretty good in the $30K :-(

[grouchie]

you lose your blind money?
shouldn't they just reset like the hand never happened and give the blinds back ?

oh well

[ecm1185]

Part of the prize pool is split evenly among everyone and the rest divided in proportion to stack sizes.

He's saying he just paid his blinds and now was in the cutoff or on the button, so he basically paid his blinds for nothing.

I wouldn't mind that....I was in First Place on Empire's $10k guarantee when it crashed. Considering my NL game, I think I'd take this.

Anyone know what happens with my hand.

[jonoo]

has this happened before in the recent history? I cant remember it happening

[tech]

LOL. I thought it was funny to think about 90% of 2+2ers playing online at that moment all of a sudden hitting the forums.

[MattHatter]

I just got the top full house to call when I made quad 5s on the river.

$200 pot... My opponents hand had flopped over.. but the message screen didn't mention the pot yet, nor had it slid toward me.

I'll assume that the fact that the hands were shown m3eans I won.. and my account will reflect this?

[caseclosed326]

there are like 90 people left in the super wed i dont suppose theyll just split the 66k pool 90 ways or pay it out according to remaining places. surely this has happened before anyone know what they do?

I dont recall when, but it has happened before.. maybe 3 months ago now? Someone else may remember.

[dealer_toe]

I was actually at 2 good 3/6 tables, and then this!! right about in line w/ my last 2 weeks though, anything to keep me from actually getting out of my downswing!

[NoChance]

If you were playing on Empire, I think you get the square root of the pot divided by how many players are left.

[La Brujita]

I would guess it has happened between 5-10 times that I can recall in the last two years, but I don't remember a recent crash.

[J_B]

Of course maybe im just thinking of that emergency reboot they had a while back.

[CrazyN8]

this would happen when I have the most I've ever had in the party skins....nice!

[AA suited]

this has happened to me several times.

in a sng, if you're still alive when the tourny crashed, the prize pool + rake pool is divided among the remainingg players

ie: 50+5, 10 players = $550
5 players left when it crashed. each gets $110, reguardless of stack size. so if u had 1 chip left, count your blessings.

in a huge multiplayer tourny, i believe 1/2 the $ is divided evenly among the remaining players. the other 1/2 is divided according to stack size.

in a ring game, it's whatever the amount people had before they started a new round.

so if it was a 15/30, you got dealt a royal, and it's capped on every street, then crashed before you reraise at the river, party skins will reset everything to before that hand started.

good to know thanks for the answer! does this happen no matter how long it is down for the multi tournies or if the network is back up within the hour do they continue?

[Mr_J]

Think they split up the total entry pool between the remaining players, sorry man /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[redsoxsox]

Does the showdown of a hand count as the end of a hand eventhough the pot didnt rake over to me?

[Apathy]

* REAL MONEY GAMES: Each player will be refunded back the exact amount of money he or she had at the start of the hand at the time of cancellation.
* PLAY MONEY GAMES: Each player will be refunded the exact amount of chips he or she had bought in when he or she took the seat at the table. This is done because we do not record ALL play money hand information.
* SIT & GO SINGLE-TABLE TOURNAMENTS: If a Tournament is cancelled due to technical issues, any Player who was eliminated prior to this time will lose his or her buy-in and entry fee. The remaining Players will be refunded their Buy-ins and Entry fees and will equally divide up the Buy-in monies from the Players already eliminated, regardless of the chip standing when the tournament was halted.
* SIT & GO MULTI-TABLE TOURNAMENTS: If a Tournament is cancelled due to technical issues the following refund policy will be implemented: Eliminated Players at time of cancellation will not be refunded their Buy-In (Amount which goes to the Prize Pool) or Entry Fee (Amount the house takes).

Players still in the tournament at time of cancellation will be refunded as follows:
1. Prize money equal to the amount that would have been awarded to the next player getting eliminated from the MTCT will be awarded to all the players still in the tournament at the time of cancellation.
2. Of the balance Prize Pool left awarding as per point 1, 50% of the remaining Prize Pool will be distributed equally between all players still in the tournament at the time of cancellation and 50% of remaining Prize Pool will be distributed on a percentage basis at time of cancellation based on their chip count.
3. Their entry fee. (For ex. $3 in a $30+$3 tournament).

I emailed them about the prob before I came here and saw everyone is having the same problem. I got this response, I think this one is up for the Response Hall of Fame in the fall...


I am on annual leave at the moment please contact

for all poker queries.
Thankyou,

Even if it's true, It's more fun to think of how long it took the guy that screwed up the servers to think of this support response.

i doubt that it'll continue. once party crashes, the integrity of the game is in doubt. not only the data, but people leaving, which would be unfair to them because it was party's problem.

[caseclosed326]

yea that makes since. anyone still have the specs open for the super wed? i remember the prize pool being around 66k with 90 or so people left but i might be totally wrong. anyone know? i had to be in the top 10 too if the last hand counted.

I hope everybody realises that Party/Empire.... support will be unreachable for the next 2 weeks. Every Tom, Dick & Harry will be emailing/calling them with "THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!"

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch. It's in the rules. Shut Up and what's the word I'm looking for????

[Theodore Donald Kiravatsos]

Now that's funny. I know from funny. That's funny.

[dutchgrl]

It crashed about a week and a half ago, and this is what happened to me. I was in a hand, bet the turn, everybody folded, the pot was being pushed to me, the CONGRATULATIONS sign came on, and then it got disconnected. Even then they declared the hand dead. I found the HH on the hard drive, and it was clear the hand was already over with. Still, they do not give you the pot. Amazing to me!

So if I understand correctly:

70 players @ $100 entry & 70,000 chips in play. $10k prize pool.

about 30 left when we disconnected, so $5,000 / 30 = $166 per player
If I had T8100, I would have 11.5% of the chips, so 11.5% of $5k = $578.57
Total = $744.57? Is that really the math?

That sucks...the next closest stack was about T5400, and first prize was $2,800.

Oh well....I guess I'm glad it was a small tournament.

[redsoxsox]

2k NL started today hope I get that pot. Thats my biggest pot online.

MAN PARTY STOLE MY $11 FROM AN SNG I WAS PLAYING

Empire returned my money from ring games. In the style of the Internet, I should now boycott Party forever and encourage others to STAY AWAY FROM THAT THIEF SITE.

[Wilbix]

I was in SECOND CHIP POSITION in an $11 SNG, but nobody had busted yet! I deserve MUCH MORE than just my $11 dollars back. At least $14, by my calculations using chip count. That extra $3 could buy me a spaghetti.... /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
