Enjoy the vacation, I know I am. I haven't played a single hand since the day the A8 promo ended. Seriously needed some time off.

Yeah. That thing burned me a bit as well.

I know I'm getting old:

Old thoughts RE: myspace and using the internet to pick up girls - Awwww, yea, time to buy some jammies!!

New thoughts RE: myspace and using the internet to pick up girls - I hope my first child is a boy and I am never letting anyone have a computer in their room.

Sigh

Agreed. I've only played 500 hands since A8 ended.

[Poet MP]

Same here. Played far too much, ran badly for far too long, which also no doubt also meant I ended up playing some far worse poker than I should have as well.

All in all, a bad idea.



The mini-break has done me the world of good.

[DING-DONG YO]

I think I just stink. I've run almost breakeven (.4bb/100) over the last 50K hands and the only way I can make money is through the bonuses.

Actually, you are running pretty good, considering you are most likely paying approximately 3BB/100 in rake. So actually you are running 3.4BB/100. You just need to now play at a site with no rake.

[AncientPC]

Just curious, how can you check if your VIP or not besides e-mailing Party CS. Is it listed anywhere in your account details?

[Davey]

Website wont let you know if you are VIP or not. Other than getting a pop up when they send the offers out, email is the only way to find out. (and calling)

Let's see here. 53K hands. 1.76K, .36BB/100. Now, 13.624K in rake, so total 2.88BB/100, so WTF OMG!?!?!?!?!?! ARRRGU!!

A site with no rake you say? Haven't heard about it. any threads discussing it???

Are those your actual numbers Ding Dong?

Just wondering how much you got from the VIP program to offset the rake you paid.

I doubt you could have played that many raked games at the rake free site since they don't have more than 2 or 3 games at most limits right now.

I really don't know how some of you can pay so much rake each month and still win long term like you do. I know that when I played Party full time exclusively starting three years ago, for a whole year, my rake equaled the total amount I won, so they were getting 50% of my action. Then they friggin raised the rake again on me and I got real pissed and decided to leave and play elsewhere.

[/ QUOTE ]

eh, I've gotten maybe $1,800 through deposit and VIP bonuses from them during this sample of hands.

And those are my actual numbers.

And I'm thinking that it is getting dang near impossible to beat the rake at party. You have to be crushing the game at 4.5BB/100 total to net a 2BB/100 winrate.

That's why I'm getting antsy about a new bonus promotion. Party with no bonus = (EV)

Yes, party is getting 75% of my action (adjusted for bonuses). I might put a thread in the zoo asking people to calculate how much they are losing to party rake. It might help open some eyes.

What even amazes me is to see people play at party without bonuses or bieing a VIP. If you bonus whore just right you should be able to beat the rake and without having to play less than 4 tables. There's always a game availble.

[george w]

what the hell are y'all talking about? if you can't beat the rake then you're just not a winner; it doesn't mean it's impossible to beat it.

[/ QUOTE ]
When I say to beat the rake I meant beating it in terms of bonuses.

So if your bonuses and rakeback is greater than the rake, you are beating it. I'm not talking about playing and winning.

Have you considered playing at the no rake site that just opened? I wonder how your win rate would be there compared to Party. It's easy to say the games are tougher, but I really wonder if that's true.

I've been playing low limits there, and they seem about the same as everywhere else I play. But in the last few days it seems to be really tightening up compared to the first three days.

Guess what, party VIP. I have played party exclusively for over 1.5 years and tonight I am trying out WSEX and I might even try UB, FT or some other site that offers RB. I know I have to sign up through an affiliate. I am tired of paying PP more than most people make in a year.

Once the details of the new bonus are released, then I will think about coming back.

Here is my thinking:

El rake gigante + lack of VIP bonus to whore = (EV)

Still no new VIP bonus. Been over two weeks now.

They probably don't want people clearing the Spring bonus and VIP bonus at the same time. Hoping once that ends we will finally get it. Just enjoy the break I guess. /images/graemlins/confused.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif

They offered that triple bonus during the Acceler8r. The VIPs they're most concerned about would have cleared the reload in a day or two--seems pretty dumb to have such a long gap, unless it's part of their market research.

I guess party doesn't need to give us VIP's bonuses anymore as they have already signed up more players in 2006 then they did for all of 2005.

When will their stranglehold on the market end?
