Playing to clear the Superbowl bonus and I'm reminded why I stopped playing on this site. It's very slow, you can't 4 table, and the action is hard to follow.

I'm playing their 5 person NL tables, and while I find the action to be about the same as party, I think the graphics blow and are confusing.

The tables are realllllllllly slow too. With fast software I should be getting in 90 hands an hour, it feels like 70

I've been fooling around there lately since I found money sitting in my account. I don't think it's too bad but it is insanely slow!

I also get very laggy on their software. I'll press an action button but then it xan take up to 5 seconds to actually register. Anyone else have that problem?

Another thing that pissed me off last night was a message came up saying there was a network split and they were waiting up to 276 seconds for a player to act. Luckily he was back in like 15 seconds but I would have been highly pissed off if I had to wait 5 minutes for someone to act.

paradise is my favourite site

you can 3 table

i never find the games slow compared to other sites - have you turned off the dealing and showdown animations ? - paradise actually tells you how many hands a table is playing per hour - if you compare that with party i reckon it would be about the same

I don't really agree with you that much...but I think the title of the thread is pretty funny.

I agree, they blow. I deposited $500 and withdrew $540 today without clearing the bonus.

I did turn off all the animations. The most annoying thing is the SHOWDOWN is delayed. It's like I'm being slowrolled every hand.

that is so [censored] annoying.

Well, on the bright side...the bonus never expires so I don't feel like I have to cram a bunch of sessions in.

Its not that bad. I'm getting about 125 raked hands per hour (3 tables) playing 1-2 limit full ring games. I've been doing an hour or 2 a day on this site, then playing on my regular sites so I don't go crazy. Should knock out the bonus in a week or so.
