now that PPM semifianls over, what incentives is partypoker offering to play at their site???

None as far as i can see......enough to consider taking my business elsewhere....

prairieboy · #2 02-17-2004, 11:17 AM

35,000 players on the site at any time.

Games running at every level 24/7/365.

Fishes favorite site.

Biggest in the business and therefore least likely to go the Pro Poker route.

PPM IV - starting soon.

Isn't that enough?

Would you rather play 5-10 at Pokerstars and Paradise for a $100 deposit bonus with x number of hands to clear, or play the same x number of hands at Party for no bonus?

No that is not enough, poor customer service and higher rake than most, and a lousy allin policy that gains the cheaters.
Stars and paradise got much better and more stabile software too.

Paradise.. I'll take the bonus and play.

Stars.. can keep thier bonus. The tightness of the games basically eliminates the value of the bonus. You can maybe eek by if you play at peak hours... and are careful about table selection. When your table at stars gets down to like %25 in for the flop.. it's time to pick up and move for maximum value.

I'm clearing one at stars now.. and the running pot average over 10 hands at 1/2 is $3. I gotta pull some kinda Mike Caro to get these guy goin.

Put coal up their butt.. and you'll get a diamond.

So leave.

Personally, I'll put up with Party's minor annoyances. Their games more than make up for the shortcomings.

They scan your computer to find out what applications you have running.

That's a big incentive isn't it?

This will help. It keeps all the scanners away.

Heh! Thanks for the advice but I aleady did [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Shortly after the rake bump I pretty much stopped playing at Party/Empire. Now I'm almost always playing Stars or Paradise and I haven't missed Party even a little. There is plenty of soft and beatable online poker other than Party.

I still have a roll at Party and may play there on rare occassions but it is no longer my default online poker home. A lot of things about Party really piss me off and lifes too short. I enjoy the others software and don't like Partys.
