Default Party Poker - Time for Action

Hey Guys,

I play mostly at party poker, as alot of you do. I like the software, I love that they have lots of 10-20 6max tables, and I like the 25-50 game. (however I would like to see 6 max 25-50).

At the World Series of Poker, I won my seat through PP. They announced at one of the parties, that Party Poker is moving into a new era of customer support. They said that they were going to be assigning VIPS or any player for that matter a HOST. Someone we could bring our concerns to, who would speak english presumably. I dont know when this is happening but hopefully it is soon.

The last few days however have left me wondering, if I really want to play at their site.

My 2 concerns are:

1) RATHOLING - I dont care if people buy in short, but the taking the money off the table and coming back with another short stack is total BS. Pokerstars, and UB both make you return to the table with the same stack if it is less than 1 hour since you left. PP has to step up to the plate and correct this. Now the ratholers have their own thread on how to exploit the loophole. Give me an fning break!

2) Dissconect Protect on 25-50 tables. If you dont have a stable connection -- dont play 25-50 NL. Obv people have been taking edges disconnecting. I will not play again 25-50 until this is corrected.

I know others have similar concerns, I suggest we organize them and develop a strongly worded email to party poker that everyone sends.. and try and get these issues resolved.

Use this thread to discuss any other concerns you may have.

I wonder what the ratholeres would do if they cant rathole... hmm play poker or blackjack ? seems like an obv move for PP, they just need a push.

considering we know most of the ratholers are 2+2ers, they'd prolly all just play full stacked, and the games would continue to suck

You made this argument in the other thread - ratholing kills action, and shortstacks either don't have the roll or don't have the ability to play full stacked at these levels. There are 2+2ers who can easily be donators in these sorts of games - and they know it too, by shortstacking and ratholing. It's not reducing risk, it's increasing their limited edge.

I disagree with that - some of them, probably most are not good poker players, certainly not good enough to beat the 5k full stacked. Some like PinkPrincess are actually long term losing players.

Since I am one of the few here who don't use PT, I don't know what StinkyPrincess' stats are from when I've played with her. But she has posted stats in other threads to indicate otherwise than what you say. And I've seen her rathole much less than a double up, like $125.
