Says I need to upgrade, but upgrader unavailable. Can't even get to www.partypoker.com. Am I the only one?

Finally got to one part of their website and got a floorperson. They said, "try back in 1 hour." No explanation of the problem. No more communication. Got on 5 mins later.

BTW, there was what I thought was a maniac at the 2+2 table tonight. Caught some good cards, went up a bunch. Ran out of luck and busted out and left. Part of the early going pretty much went like this: maniac raises, Blini raises to isolate, everyone at the table sighs, they bet/raise like crazy and go to showdown. I don't fault Blini as he made the correct play against a maniac. Isolate and take them down. But, mostly the rest of the table just got to watch. Vehn and DougieFresh left while this was going on claiming it wasn't fun and it wasn't useful to anyone. I tend to agree.

When I get to work tomorrow and have access to hand histories, I plan on posting some example hands and calling the maniac out as I don't think this person's play was helpful to anyone but Blini who took most of this person's money. If someone else has a different opinion of this person's play (and everyone who was there knows who I'm talking about) please let me know that I'm whacked. Otherwise, I'll post some sample hands tomorrow and suggest we politely ask the person not to attend any more. (Unless, that is, they will spread their money around to everyone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])
We've talked at length about the 2+2 table and how to make it a valuable experience to everyone and I think that, for the most part it is, but when people are leaving because of the play of an individual, I think we should do something about it.

It was just dumb. If I wanted to play against someone like that I'd play in the play money games. Its just boring. I went and played against maniacs in 15/30 for real money instead [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Hence why I stopped playing in this game. We will always have one person who plays like a complete ass.

We play at .5/$1 so as not to shut out the those who cannot afford higher stakes because of thier skill(or bankroll). We should either step the tuesday night twoplustwo game down from .5/$1 to a private play money table(so as not to shut out anyone), or raise the stakes to where it actually means something to most of us.

I say its better to raise the stakes to $3/$6. Sure some folks will be cut off becuase of the stakes, but that does not prevent them from watching and asking questions. Those that are able to play will learn a lot more than if we continue the play .5/$1=play money limit. Education cost money, unfortunately thats just the way it is.
