A hopeless willpowerless fool, I have repeatedly blown large chunks of my bankroll on party BJ.

Until today, when I discovered that if you simply delete the Blackjack images in the PartyPoker folder, then you can no longer access the Blackjack site.

Why oh why did I not know about this 2 months ago?

A 25k lesson well learned. Should I have used the search function here??

And this is the funniest post of the thread.

Re: A lot of trouble could have been avoided
 

I am always surprised by 2+2ers donking good money away at a -EV game. And I shudder at the thought about how much the losing players must play BJ at Party now.

As incompetent as Party is, they sure seem to have a knack for separating the players from their money.

I should clarify that this run began in september, when I was playing off a 50k roll. I'd lose a chunk playing BJ, and make it back at the tables.

Then I stopped playing the BJ and stayed at poker after I had to take 20k out to pay for tuition and a vacation.

Suddenly, after a bad run of cards, I was down to 5k.

At nopoint did I lose more than 20% of my actual playing roll in any given run, but it's still 25k i wish i had now that I'm rebuilding.

this logic/justification is really terrible.
do you see why?


Many a winning poker-player has been fallen by logic like this ("I'd blow some of my winnings on sports-betting/drugs/hookers/expensive toys/-EV games because I could just make it back at the poker-tables).


I'm not trying to rub it in because obviously you've gotten pretty badly clobbered and I do, in fact, feel for you.
But I don't think the reasoning you are using to partly justify (perhaps the wrong word...whatever) your losses is really dangerous.

They don't seem so incompetant to me. I think this point agrees.

A lot of trouble could have been avoided if

I hadn't started Omaha8 at the $5/$10 level, just because I play holdem at the $5/$10 level.

$3.5K lesson.

Re: A lot of trouble could have been avoided
 

IMO the only real sleaze here is the fact that Party will not block it or tell players how. Obviously the first day people figured it out here. I wonder if Party will figure out a way to block the ability for deleting tht images to work. Short term gold mine for Party, future downfall.

I know from a Granny post a while back Paradise will block it, any sportsbook will too, whats Party's excuse? Ah greed and no care for the players.

I still find it laughable I was blocked for a week because of a supposed "gambling addiction" but yet Party pulls this sleaze.

Re: A lot of trouble could have been avoided
 

I guess I just don't understand what good 'blocking it' is supposed to do.

If you don't want to play it then just don't click on the stupid button.
Just the same as if you don't want to blow your whole $5k roll by 'taking a shot' at the 100/200 game then just don't take a seat at the table.

Is Party supposed to block the 100/200 tables too for those players who are upset that they were just too tempted to take their shots there in the first place?


It reminds me of the super-addicted gamblers (like slots and craps and such) out there who ask the casino to bar them from ever playing again (and sometimes will even sue the casino because they failed to impose that ban on them...or because they kept the addict on their mailing list for coupons, etc).

Should some talented poker-player tell the casino to ban them from the craps tables. They make all this money in the poker-room...but somehow it's the casinos fault that they blow it all on the craps table.


I just don't see the point of this whole debate about 'blocking the buttons'.
If you wanted to play online blackjack there were about a million places you could have been doing this BEFORE party added it to their site.
yeah yeah yeah....but on party it's "right there". But that's only a difference of a few button clicks from the other online-blackjack places .


So if gambloor (and others) are so prone to this party-blackjack thing...then why weren't they already playing online-blackjack before I wonder (seriously...just curious).
