I actually got my first one wrong. There was something that looked halfweay between a "C" and a "G." They give you another chance. It's pretty easy if you're not a bot.

They showed up at my first four of six simultaneous tables today, not too long after I started them.

If you're having trouble, you can practice by voting for Forest in that OOT thread.

what happens if u don't type the code in during the 115 secs?

they can't take ur money cause u were away for 2 mins...and if they refund your money, well then anytime i'm shortstacked in a tourney, i'll just wait 115 secs to get my buyin back

I've had 4 tables die on me in the middle of tourneys today for no reason whatsoever. Although i've been refunded for the first 2 (the other 2 only died moments ago) does anyone think this could be down to people failing the verification codes? If so, this is absolutely outrageous! Admittedly, i could be jumping to conclusions.

I would suggest next time someone is asked for the verification code and happens to be shortstacked with almost no chance of getting ITM, don't complete the code, and find out what happens. Don't forget to jot down the table number you're on, so you can see if the tourney continues. Then report back here with results. I will do the same.

I got coded 3 times within 10 mins on cash games. I entered all codes correctly but I was bumped (disconnected) from each table anyways. 2 out of 3 times I had the winning hand and hence got paid for my straight only (OESD showed on the flop) preflop (1.25 BB) and for my set 10s only for the turn (I could have gotten at least 2BB more on the river because villain showed rockets).

I complained at Party and they submitted my mail to some other department.

It wasn't that bad in itself, just a couple of BBs but I was running not so good at that time. After I couldn't fully harvest my set because of the 3rd code screen I went on full tilt which cost me another 20 BBs within 3 minutes before I pulled the plug.

Let's see what response I'll get from Party.

It even sucks for me if I'm 4-tabling (I'm over 40, you know). It's very disruptive and I tend to get out of rythm and play random poker.
