I think as your win rate goes up you'll like the site better

Am I the only one who has monitor resolution problems playing at PokerRoom? I'll join a few wait lists at PokerRoom and set my monitor to 1600x1200 in preperation to multi-table. Then when the table just pops up in the corner of my monitor, it changes my resolution back to 1024x800 automatically! WTF?? It's a major pain when I'm playing at another site already and all of a sudden all of my tables are overlapping at the smaller resolution. Anyone else??

PS, Go Huskies! :P

Happens to me to....it really pisses me off

That happens to me too. The only way I could avoid it is to set my resolution to 1600x1200 before starting up the software.

I used to have this problem (until upgrading my monitor to one I'm happy to have in 1600x1200 all the time).

The way around it is to change to 1600x1200 resolution *before* firing up the Pokerroom software. Crap bug, but avoidable.

I'm happy with pokerroom, though as a Mac user I'm a captive audience. The games are good, though over the past couple days they've gotten tighter and tougher, probably because all of you are on there clearing bonuses. Hurry up and get out, will you?

[Subby]

I rally like Pokerroom. My biggest complaint is that the tables aren't the easiest to see and they only list one bonus at a time on your account page.

The bonuses are harder to clear because they don't rape you on small pots. As a player, I appreciate that. As a bonuswhore, I wish they would just rake everything [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am a Pokerroom fan. For a very long time (2 years) PR was the only place I could play b/c I am a Mac guy. I have since gotten a G5 w/Virtual PC and play on all the other sites too, and still prefer PR. The story goes that PR was designed by Mac users, which might explain why I like the interface SO much more than PP or Paradise. Or, it's just what I'm used to. Either way, I bonus whore the other sites but PR is my home.

In the 2 yrs I've played there almost every day, the only problems I've experienced are the oft-mentioned server crashes. A tip for when/if it happens when you're there: go to the main lobby or, better yet, the lobby of a freeroll that got frozen when the server crashed. A large number of people will be FREAKING out and typing all manner of profanity over and over. "I skipped work to play in this tournament", "I missed my parents funeral to play here", "F this, F that, F you, F you too, no YOU Mfer", "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah". Freerolls are the best, those people completely lose it when the free money dries up. Tease them, you'll see how much fun it is.

I have a few issues with pokerroom.
It has tended to not run very well on my computer at times.
I don't like the tables and how it is sometimes difficult to tell who's in the hand and whose action it is (and yes...lI turn off the avatars).
I don't like the problems getting to your own table in a tournament.
I don't like the random disconnects.

I remember that you couldn't turn off the animation....so if you leave the sound on (which I like to do) you hear non-stop riffle and shuffle on each and every table and it's loud and annoying. The sounds I believe sound off even if that table isn't at the front of the screen.

I also don't like what a pain it is to re-buy in the ring-games. You have to sit-out, then you can go to cashier, and then re-buy. so if I'm running a little low on a given table I have to find a hand that I can fold...sit-out really fast and then re-buy quickly enough to not miss the next hand...all the while trying to act on the other tables.
Having to sit-out to re-buy is annoying.

I haven't played there in awhile so some of these things may have changed since then.

I could be a fan...but there's enough problems there that keep me away.

yes this is fugging annoying!

I used to play PR every once in a while now I just avoid it.Once I got multiple rakeback accounts at Party PR was history.No reason to mess with its medicore games,software and support.
Another thing not yet mentioned is PokerRoom is one of the few rooms like Party that use bogus pot averages-including uncalled bets.So pot averages are even crappier than they already are..
