Given that the no-limit and pot-limit games online have maximum buy ins, I have to constantly top up my stack when starting a session (and hopefully not by the time I'm ending a session). This is especially true at Empire/Party, as they only let you bring 50 big blinds to the table.
Since I returned to no-limit, I've had problems with the "more chips" feature. Sometimes, say in a $25 NL game when I have about $18.50 (or some random figure below $25), I'll go to top up my chips and I will bring the maximum I can back to the table ($6 in this example). When I do this, sometimes it will bring me only one or two dollars, or a few dollars less than I asked or whatever. This is a problem.
Another concern is in the past when you ask to top up my stack, and am told I'll get my chips when the hand is completed. However if I win the hand in question and my stack becomes larger than $25, they wont and should not give my my top up.
From memory, they tell you that you cannot have your chips brought to the table. Now I don't get this notification.
What I am not sure of is this: are they still deducting the full say $6 from my balance and giving me only a portion of this in the room I'm in. Because I'm playing 3 tables at once most times, I haven't been able to check on this. I just assumed everything was ok.
But then a freind gave me a small transcript of him talking with party about my second point, trying to top up 7 more dollars, winning the hand and not getting his money. But he alleged the money was still deducted from his account.
Has anybody else experienced anything like this?
