For all of those that have been whining about the uses for their player points on Party, I offer this.

Taken from the Party Poker News & Events page just now:

I guess the point is that PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. It is obvious to me that Party is making headway in the their player club development.

I don't dis-believe you, but I can't find this in the news section and there is no tournament listed this evening at 7:40PM. When was this? Could PP have stopped running this?

Just found it in the news section, but still can't find the tournement that they are refering to.

Thanks for the heads up though, well spotted!

Cool, Im gonna go deposit $5,000

I sent them an email last tuesday about having bigger events. Maybe they actually listen.

On second thought, it seems -EV..... assuming 1500 players we are looking at an $8.40 freeroll. Ill just keep ordering the T-Shirts till I have enough to "wallpaper" the basement

Looks like it is a winner take all event. Therefore

5000*2000 entries=10M points

12600/10M=$0.00126 a point. The prizes get better, but the points are worth less.

damn, and i already ordered 20 beanies...

[RevAgain]

Yeah, woopee, the 1000 point ones weren't worth playing so they quintuple the entry points requirement whilst only doubling the prize on offer. That IS so much better value.

There are already 100 people registered and registration has only been open an hour. Value by the time all the Americans get back from work and sign up is back to cents per hour.

Shoot me, I can't believe i'm continuing to waste my time posting about this.

I'll continue ordering beanies, thank you very much.

[TobDog]

what are you guys doing with all the beanies? eBay? are you outfitting everyone at the dorm? Christmas/birthday gifts?
