I haven't played at Party much, and even when I did, it was only to clear some bonus and run. I just don't like playing there much. In fact, I haven't played there at all since the split and the addition of the sidebets and BJ.
I repeatedly read posts here about how bad the play at Party is, but I just don't like the software, CS, and other things that add up to: I just prefer to play at other sites.
However, the other day, I got an email from them telling me they put $15 in my account. So, I fired it up, DL the upgrades, and sit down in a $5+1 limit S&G.
Gad, what horrible players. I played 5, won 2 placed 3rd in another.
How bad? About the 4th hand in:

I'm sitting there thinking, "What the hell is everyone betting and calling with?" I was stunned.
There were T1200 pots in 15/30 level, and tons of other madness.
Wow... I think I just may have to play at Party more.
