Mike O'Malley: Please Help!

It's a tough spot... not wanting to piss off the people holding onto your money, yet wanting to present some sort of leverage. I personally think that presenting Logan's 'evidence' will reflect quite poorly on PartyPoker. Making them look bad might not be wise, when they currently hold my money.

I'm still hoping a Party employee will fix this situation. Posting here is the only way I know to get hold of Mike O'Malley. Yes, it also implies that the next step is to open the details to the public. I'm hoping to get that leverage without annoying the people holding onto my money.

No offense, but this kind of sounds like blackmail. Like you're saying "fix it or get exposed". IMHO the best course of action would have been to just post everything up front in the first place if you're going to go public with this.

I'm curious as to what the actual cheating accusations are.

WAY TO GO PARTY! It looks like you guys nailed another cheater.

To the OP: if you want to cheat, go do it at PokerStars. If you get caught there, Stars will only take the money that they can verify that you won through cheating. If you don't get caught, you will get to keep all your illicit gains. If Stars is only able to detect certain instances in which you cheated and not others, then you will get to keep the portion of your illicit gains that Stars does not know about.

I think the choice for cheaters is clear: Play at Party and lose your entire bankroll or play at Stars and lose only what Stars can verify you gained through cheating.

More wonderfully flawed logic to attempt to extract a pound of flesh from the accused.

Everyone here has an interest in knowing whether Party seizes accounts without justification.

Since many of us have a lot of experience with Party, though, we're not likely to put much stock in what you say without details.

Like the other poster said, Party rarely takes peoples' money. Incompetent, yes. Thieves, no.

You're unlikely to accomplish anything without a full and complete explanation.

I have about $7k in my account. I have never cashed out of Party, having deposited about 8-9k into the site from Neteller.

I believe it was about $35k in the three months, playing 15/30 through 30/60.

I can't possibly give much advice without knowing what you are talking about.


However, I really don't think Mike O'Malley has time to read the forums here that much.

In an older cardplayer he lists his e-mail as [email protected] and he has also posted under the 2+2 handle rzitup before I believe.
Not sure if an e-mail or PM to either would still get to him or not though.


You could also just try e-mail info@party and explaining that you are unsatisfied with the explanation you are receiving and would like to speak with someone higher up. You could even mention that you would specifically like to speak with Mike O'Malley if you think that would work.


I do not think that just posting your general situation on this message board and hoping that Mike pretty-pretty-please reads it would be the way to go.

I don't even think he got back to the people asking him Q's about the party upgrade way back when that was a hot discussion.


Anyway, it seems we have people asking for Mike's thoughts all the time and very rarely does he respond. Most likely because he just doesn't get around to reading all the Q's posed to him in the first place.

I can't understand why anybody would believe that posting here is a way to get hold of Mike O'Malley. Maybe before hundreds of people posted their questions on the infamous "Questions for Mike" upgrade thread, but not after.

Your best bet is to disclose the details. If you have a case, get the folks here on your side.

I expect readers to suspect that there is more to the accusation than what I have described.

You're right about that.

So far the one thing in your favor is that you admitted right off the bat that the problem involves multiple accounts ... that part doesn't usually come out right away.

So just tell the story, the whole story, and nothing but the story. Putting it out in dribs and drabs may make some people think you are making it up as you go along.

Long live the search function!
In that old "Name the new Party tables"-contest thread, he listed his Party mail addie ... [email protected]

Good luck getting your money back.
