Re: I Want To THROW UP (OT...but not really)
For me, the issue isn't the straight loss of the income, its that this income was the only thing certain, and helps so so much in downswings.
Its such a good security blanket, even moreso psychologicaly then because when I'm losing or breakeven for a period of time, and have doubts in my playing ability, its nice to know that even if I set for 3 hours and come out with the same amount as I entered I'm still making twice as much per hour then at a normal college kid job.

Re: I Want To THROW UP (OT...but not really)
I'm sure there will be some sort of remedy in the form of smaller rakeback on Party giving to either those select few affiliates who Party trusts, or small groups of friends sharing 20% on the honor system. it's pretty useless for people to worry. I will be hurt more than most, as I 8-table 20/40 for $80/hr in rakeback and I'm not overly concerned yet.

Re: I Want To THROW UP (OT...but not really)
It's official
[ QUOTE ] PartyGaming Plc New platform launch PartyGaming Plc (“PartyGaming” or the “Group”), the world's leading online gaming company, announces today that it has taken a further step towards establishing a new fully integrated PartyGaming operating platform. This platform will, on launch, offer a variety of different games but with a common systems architecture allowing each of its nine million registered PartyPoker customers to use a single account and a shared purse across the Group’s gaming brands. As part of today’s development, the Group has moved the PartyPoker.com brand and all of its players to the new platform. Historically, PartyPoker players have shared the same poker-only system with players from each of the Group’s four white label poker clients or “skins” (being Empire Poker, Coral Eurobet, Multipoker and Intertops). Following today’s move, PartyPoker players will now play on their own private tables and benefit from a number of new and exciting products that are exclusive to the new platform. The new platform includes non-poker games such as Blackjack, as well as added features to the poker product such as Side Bets and Deal-Making in poker tournaments. Once the fully integrated platform is launched in the first half of 2006, players will then be able to click through and play on PartyPoker, PartyCasino and other new PartyGaming products that are currently being developed, all using a common account and a shared purse. The skins’ poker players will continue to have full access to the existing poker system. They will also now benefit from the release of several new product enhancements comprising “beginners’ tables” – these include “micro-limit tables” and low buy-in tables – and $50/$100 and $100/$200 tables. PokerNOW.com, which was acquired by the Group earlier in the year, will continue to operate on the existing poker system with the skins. Commenting on today’s announcement Richard Segal, Chief Executive said: “We are on track to deliver our exclusive Party-branded integrated platform that will include additional products and services, enabling us to focus on optimising cross-selling opportunities. We believe that today’s development is an important step towards cementing together the inherent strengths of all the Party brands and is in the best interests of our customers and shareholders. In conjunction with this exciting development, we will continue to maintain and support the poker system we provide for the skins.” [/ QUOTE ]
