The new SNG format is horrid. A SNG should not last over an hour.

You never had to worry about people stalling when the rounds were on a per hand basis.

I am going to get carpal tunnel from having to click fold multiple times.

Seriously, I'm really unimpressed with this. It's absolutely abysmal, and the clear lack of proper and significant beta testing is just plain ridiculous.

I'm actually disgusted, and really rather angry.

I also continue to not be able to log on to about half the [censored] tables I attempt to, and have done everything support asked of me (cleared Temp Int Files, cookies, reinstalled).

This is a total farce. And no, it's not my PC.

Whilst I agree, the main factor is:

1) Speed tournaments should be searchable by a column header, and not having to scroll down the list all the way to find Speed #.
2) Speed tournaments should not be limited only to 7 Card Stud and Omaha. These are surely the least popular type, and yet speed NL would most likely be at least as much, if not more popular than the normal STT NL in the long run. So, this really makes no sense to me. Perhaps PartyPoker can explain why this was done?

Just had all my buttons disappear. The yellow box outlines around the players' names also disappeared at the time, and the "call" "fold" action messages that appear over their names got like 3 times bigger than normal. I had 10 tables open but was playing only at one of them.

I've lost at least $100 of EV in crashes so far tonight. My buttons keep disappearing after playing for 10 minutes and then all four of my tables crash.

Getting very close to moving sites.

Not just me then. What amazing testing they put this upgrade through...

What a total joke. The biggest poker site in the world? The biggest laugh more like.

Keeps on going like this and PokerStars is right there waiting for my money. I can't play on this [censored], which means I won't be able to play for the VIP bonus, and if I don't get it each week then there's just no point on me not being elsewhere.

allright, I commented earlier and had not played a 1 table sng yet. but now I did and the format is absolutely great! I actually get to play poker and can stand to suffer a few bad beats and still be in contention to win. Heads ups is no longer an all in battle and actually takes some thinking. I think this format puts much more emphasis on skill, making the games both more fun, and more profitable.

When I click the tile button using two monitors the screens come up on the primary monitor. Is there any way to designate where they come up?

search for partyplanner. It's a little software program that might help you

Dear Party:

With all the problems of today, and who knows how long this is going to go on, you need to give some consideration to the VIP's who are chasing their b8nuses. I have to play alot 7 days in a row to make my bonus, much less double it as I was planning on doing. Today's a wash. And if things aren't running great over the next couple days, people are going to miss this week, and then miss the big bonus on the end.

What are your plans for this? Please let us know in a clear and simple matter so we don't have to guess or worry about this the next 7 weeks.

Thank you.
