What\'s the difference between table with numbers/names at Party?
 

I've noticed over at Party Poker, some tables have names. Others have numbers.

Are the named ones private or something. I'm no quite sure what the story is on that so I've been avoiding the named ones.

Figured I didn't want to bust in on somefolks games or drop right into a shark pit! LOL!

So can anyone enlighten me?

The only difference is they have stupid names. If they're private they'll be labeled as such and require a password.

normally the tables with numbers are 6 max tables.

I saw on their Jobs page they were looking for a new Table Namer. That probably explains it.

I would guess that the previous guy, who was never a great speller in any case, was fired after he named that particular one "Boss Dipshit".

The numbered tables are rigged. The named tables are legit.

Consider yourself enlightened.

actually, i thought this job was eliminated? last person that had it was walter rhea and i don't need to tell you the rest of the story on walter, but suffice it to say his termination was not avoidable.
anyhoo, i think party named tables until one point, then just stopped. the names there are probably original names from the time where it was feasible to actually name them all.

i'd bet that unless there is a message to convey (special tourney etc), that they will never name another table again.

Is the question serious?
Ok, so say you buy a couple of cows and a bull.. Maybe you really like them, and you give them pretty precious names.. Soon they get baby cows, who make more baby cows, and so on.. After some time you have 200 cows.. Did you name them all?

I was gonna dip my toes in this thread with the exact same message as yours, but Mike got ahead of me, and his answer was, albeit not 100% correct, still much better so I kept my toes dry instead. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously, though, I think it is a sloppy decision by Party to not name all their tables. Hire someone skilled in programming and language stuff, and they will come up with N+1 decent names in no time. The whole playing environment, in view of the important recreational player, would be much better with named tables.

(On second thought, perhaps the lobby would be too cluttered with so many named tables of various character length.)

Yes. One of my mom's coworker's husband breeds cattle. Each year they name them before taking them to auction. They use a different first letter each year so that they can keep track of when they sold that particular cow. I remember one year she had hell trying to come up with over 100 female names that started with a J [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
