Don't get me started on Party Support... I had the most surreal conversation of my whole life with Party Support....

Lobby - Service Person: Hazel
Hazel: Hello, how may I assist you?
Spike_tt: An email said I would be automatically taken to my table for the
PPM warm-up... this hasn't happened...
Spike_tt: It also said there would be a button labelled "Take me to my PPM
table". There isn't...
Hazel: That's because you will be taken there after 7
Hazel: Yes, all of this will load after 7
Hazel: EST
Spike_tt: Maybe I have a time difference problem then! What time is it
now?
Hazel: It's 7
Hazel:
Hazel: Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?
Spike_tt: What time is it now EST?
Hazel: It's 7
Hazel: EST
Spike_tt: I don't understand... it's 12.20 here in the UK... but it's 7
there? Not 7.20? or 6.20?
Hazel: It's 7
Spike_tt: So... the seating takles place at 7... and it';s 7 *now* you say?
So the seating will start now?
Hazel: It will start at 7
Hazel: That will be in 10 minutes
Spike_tt: And what time is it now?
Hazel: It's 7
Hazel: Now it's 7
Spike_tt: Okay... I'm very confused... it's 7 *now*... but it'll be 7 in ten
minutes... never mind... I'll wait to see what happens.
Hazel: Just wait 5 more minutes
Spike_tt: Okay.
Hazel: In 5 minutes, it will be 7
Spike_tt: So... now it's 6.55?
Hazel: NO
Hazel: Sorry
Hazel: It is 7
Hazel: Where are you getting 6
Spike_tt: You said in 5 minutes it would be 7... and you're saying *now* it
is 7.
Hazel: No
Hazel: In 5 minutes, it will be 7
Spike_tt: So what time is it *now*?
Hazel: I keep saying that it's 7
Spike_tt: Never mind... I'll wait.
Hazel: Ok
Hazel: Thanks
Hazel: Just wait 5 minutes
Spike_tt: Yes... I'll wait until 7.
Hazel: Just 5 more minutes
Spike_tt: Thankyou.
Hazel: You're welcome
Hazel: Have fun!
Spike_tt: I am already!
Hazel: Great!

and from vehn referring to PP missing buttons:

I can just see it now.

I'm on the boat, in the tourny. Daniel Negreanu raises UTG. I have black aces on the button. I say raise. Everyone looks bored and ignores me. I say raise again. Nothing happens. A couple players look at me annoyed that I'm taking so long. Finally Mike O'Malley swoops in out of nowhere and grabs my cards, and Daniel steals the blinds. Then I'm not dealt in the next hand.

I still laugh when I read them.

The 7 PM Abbot and Costello conversation is probably the funniest thing I have read on this site. I keep a printout on my desk next to my computer.
After a beat, anytime I begin to ask "what kind of jackass...", I read it over and laugh my ass off.

JoeyBallgame:Yes , I was playing last night and had something disturbing happen

Chris:Can you please give me more details about the situation?

JoeyBallgame:can you pull up hand # 195649129

JoeyBallgame:I was at a Holdem table when my opponent showed down 4 cards and was awarded the pot

JoeyBallgame:Somehow I think there was error and I'd like resolution

JoeyBallgame:I emailed info@multipoker 2x and have not received a response.

Chris:when did you write a mail?

JoeyBallgame:Last night after the incident and again today

Chris:Please allow us 24 hours to resolve the time....

Chris:the problem...

JoeyBallgame:Ironically the hand was played at 11:15 last night and I wrote shortly thereafter

JoeyBallgame:SO its been 24hrs

Chris:So allow us..we will revert your email..

JoeyBallgame:Can you offer an explanation of how this could happen, it raises some pretty serious concerns.

Chris:We have a technical problem at our softwares....

Chris:we are not able to pull up any hand histories...

JoeyBallgame:Were you able to retreive the hand history?

JoeyBallgame:Here...

JoeyBallgame:***** Hand History for Game 195649129 *****

Chris:no..we are not able to ....so is the reason for the delay...

JoeyBallgameo you have an email address I can forward it to?

Chris:info@partypoker.com

JoeyBallgame:OK I just sent it to your attention

Chris:Ok..please hold..

Chris:Can you confirm from which email address have you sent?

JoeyBallgame:I replied to info@multipoker.com, and I've just sent it to info@partpoker.com

JoeyBallgame:Other people have been able to retrieve the hand history

JoeyBallgame:I just sent it again

Chris:Please send a copy at info@multipoker.com

JoeyBallgame:to both party and multi with to your attention

Chrisk...hold..

Chris:The opponent had a Staright...so he won..his cards were.."a straight, eight to queen -- Qh,Jh,Ts,9d,8c "

JoeyBallgame:any luck?

JoeyBallgame:Right - He had 4 cards...we were playing Holdem

JoeyBallgame:At least the other 9 people at the table were

JoeyBallgame:sry 8 I guess

Chris:What is sry8?

JoeyBallgame:nothing

JoeyBallgame:I was saying the other players at the table all saw 4 cards and made comments thourhout the following hands

Chris:What comments are you referring to?

JoeyBallgame:Are you able to see the problem?

JoeyBallgame:I would the $9 I lost in the hand refunded and an explanation.

Chris:And you had a pair of jacks -- Ac,Qh,Jc,Jd,9d

JoeyBallgame:He had 4 cards!!!!

Chris:and a staraight is higher than a pair of jacks..

JoeyBallgame:are you kidding?

Chris:What 4 cards?

JoeyBallgame:Cosak123 balance $181.25, bet $16, collected $37, net +$21 [ Jh Ts 3d 7s ] [ a straight, eight to queen -- Qh,Jh,Ts,9d,8c ]

JoeyBallgame:from the hand history

JoeyBallgame:Why can't you retriever the hand histroy?

Chris:http://www.multipoker.com/games/how_...nds_ranked.jsp

Chris:Please check the link ...and the rank of hands...

JoeyBallgame:I understand a str8 is better than a pair

Chris:then?

JoeyBallgameo you understand that Holdem is played with 2 cards?

JoeyBallgame:Why does my oppenent have 4 cards?

JoeyBallgame:Several other readers at 2+2 have been able to retrieve the hand history - why can't you?

JoeyBallgameo you really not see my point?

Chris:First 2 cards would be dealt toeach player....

Chris:and then 3 cards will be dealt on the board as a Flop...

Chris:and after that the turn will be dealt and then the staright....

JoeyBallgame:Yes - that is true. Why does he have 4 cards? and why do I only have 2.

JoeyBallgame:Is there anyone else there that can help us communicate - I really don't feel your understanding my issue

Chris:Please may I know the players name who has four cards?

JoeyBallgame:again...:Cosak123 balance $181.25, bet $16, collected $37, net +$21 [ Jh Ts 3d 7s ] [ a straight, eight to queen -- Qh,Jh,Ts,9d,8c ]

Chris:Thank you, please hold on for a moment for me to look into it again

2: thread about how different players would play a full house with quads possible...funny also...

Thanks...
