But I'm not giving up entirely on it either...mostly because I have no life and it's a fun way to kill time while multi-tabling. [/ QUOTE ] lol Bob you're too much.... and all of it good

Re: Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)
I played in a tournament last night, and when we got down close to the bubble (on Party), not only did the short stacks stall, but even the two players that had 50K in chips did. JEEZ, it took frkin forever, and then, the software went into the "hand for hand" crap when we still needed to lose 8 players...............
this all made the tournament last at least an extra 45 minutes. It's getting to where I hate playing these things, and probably half the players are wondering why I am raising/folding immediately each hand. The worst part is if you are shortstacked, you never get to see any hands. I saw 13 hands while the blinds increased twice. Dogmeat [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Re: Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)
Bob,
I remember something about you stalling in one of the big Party sunday's. You even got your table to "help" you stall, regardless of whether they did it on their own because they wanted to help you make the money, regardless if it was a much larger tourney involving 20+ tables at the time and not as "organized" as this one, it's the same thing. Sucks to be on the losing end?

Re: Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)
I was stalling in this one too.
But i did not encourage anyone to stall with me in that one when I was trying to make the money. A couple of them started pulling for me and started stalling on their own. I did NOTHING along the lines of "hey...you guys wanna help me out or what?" or anything like that. The issue is not regarding the stalling. It is about openly discussing a strategy at the table in efforts to improve all of their chances. For someone to say "we should all stall because then we can all make it" is a form of collusion.

Re: Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)
BS like this is part of the reason Party gives poor responses to legitimate emails. In your intial emails you didn't even provide the relevant hand histories to support your claims, nor were you 100% certain the action went down like you said. Then, when they give you a very reasonable response, you keep badgering them over and over and over.
You're being unrealistic and plain greedy asking for an entry. If you were on such a short stack that slowplaying disadvantaged you that much, you had the worst odds of anyone there for making the cut. Also, playing slowly and extremely tightly is common on the bubble, especially for such a big prize as this with guaranteed places. Although the chatter should be warned, I doubt the chat made much difference. Your only legitimate beef is the AA hand, which again only deserves a warning for a first offence and certainly not disqualification. You aren't even sure this hand took place: [ QUOTE ] fwiw - I could have sworn the guy showed the table his AA...and I think it's possible that this rep looked up the wrong hand-number to look at his hole-cards....but I couldn't swear to it [/ QUOTE ]
