Same here - I haven't even looked at it.

Deleted it the second it came out.

Such an obvious and clever move by party, its almost sad.

The collective money online was already being slowly drained through rake, requiring constant replenishment from the outside. Now with blackjack and probably sports betting on the horizon, people are only quickening the process of drainage.

For the love of god, delete the BJ icons.

Its too funny...

my friend, whom is a professional poker player, lost 25k playing blackjack on PartyPoker (all of the money he had in his account at that moment, his bankroll is considerably larger however). Afterwards he called PartyPoker to curse out someone for implementing blackjack to begin with.

Most people wuold be worried about the 25k they lost in this situation, but my friend called me in a panic after this. What was he worried about you ask? He was worried that the guy whom he spoke to at PartyPoker would jinx his account because he cursed him out.

So my friend called back the next day to apologize to this guy, but he wasnt in till tomorrow, so he played 2-4 NL all day (he usually plays the 10-20 NL or 100-200/50-100 games) until he got back in touch with the guy he insulted. He apologized to him and then all was well in the world once again.
