What is going on with Paradise lately?

[Roy Munson]

Every night for the past week Paradise Poker has been very slow. Very limited downtime has always been a strength of Paradise.

I have been a loyal player at Paradise for over 5 years because the games always seemed to run smoothly. This last week, however, has been the worst week since I have been playing there. Hand history requests are also taking up to 8 hours to be completed.

Does anyone in the forum have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Don't know why, but I'm quickly getting fed up with it. The Free Million tourney shuts down every night. Tonight I got in 9 hands in 45 minutes. So I donated all my chips, started playing .50/1, and after 40 minutes I only had 45 hands on 3 tables. Also the hand histories now take hours instead of minutes and a couple hundred hands just disappeared this weekend.

Could be a massive influx of players for the freeroll as a result of their TV advertising. When it first started there were often less than 500 players. Now there's 2000.
