Stars has all of this except unmentionable. But for 3/6 and even 5/10 the rake is much lower there. Plus there is an FPP system where you collect points to enter tournaments.

I was afraid someone would ask - because I do feel kind of stupid. Briefly: I was offered $305 for 5800 raked hands. No problem - but kind of tight. I usually never pay attention to Party Points but I noticed that I just qualified for promotion after last quarter. So that should make it easier to qualify. When the promotion did not come through I sent a series of three very polite letters asking why. The answer was always the same - "yes you should be promoted and will be in just a few days."

You are not alone, they pulled the same crap on me. They gave me a very high number which would be easily acheivable IF they promoted me like they were supposed to. Then we had a similar series of polite, fruitless emails back and forth where they couldn't explain anything that was going on, but assured me that I would be able to make their number, and wished me luck at the tables.

I too suggested to them that I might move 100% of my online play elsewhere, but the issue of closing my account never came up, in fact they never acknowledged the fact that I might leave.

It's funny how Party can be pretty inconsistent in the way they deal with us.

Wow, what jerks. They closed your account because you threatened to walk? Or did you actually say, promote it now or close my account?

Anyway, 1 table go to Pacific. Otherwise, Pokerroom, Poker Stars, UB, Prima, are all fine.

Sorry, but UB is the least fishy place to play. I would never ever recommend that anyone play there. Horrible bonus structure and crappy games.

stigmata · #16 10-20-2005, 09:46 AM

I have been playing UB since the split and the mid/high games seem fine. Pretty comparable to Party. Just not a great selection, but plenty of bad play. It would, however, be difficult to surviv on UB alone, but in combination with stars I have been doing fine without Party, and enjoying it!

krimson · #17 10-20-2005, 10:00 AM

UB's full ring are reasonable. I think Stars would be the next most softest site compared to Party.

Out of curiosity, why not just send another email to Party support and apologize for treating them like [censored]? I bet you could easily get your account back if you asked.

I suppose I could answer because they are jerks - but the more honest response is the human failing of being too embarrassed to return after making a fool of myself. Not to mention the possible double embarrassment of crawling back and having the door slammed in my face. Not a great answer to your question - but then I never pretended to be one of the more mature members of the human race.

Question on Pacific.

Why is it only one table? Do they not allow more?

I would love to play on a decent site that only allows one table to be played at a time.

(Did I mention "I HATE MULTITABLERS..!!!)

BTW, does this mean the action moves along briskly? I actually could care less if somebody plays 20 tables, but I HATE WAITING ON THEM..

And... one more thing. Do you get to see the mucked cards after an unsuccessful call? I understand PokerTracker works there with an addtional piece of software called "Handgrabber"

Fans, detractors of Pacific, please weigh in..

Exactly.

I'll answer this when I stop laughing.

Wait for it.....

No. Not even close. Pacific is ridiculously slow, like B&M slow. Part of that's because of the 6-to-the-river games, part of it's because the software is crap.
