I plan on laughing really hard as my two roommates try to complete this. (But good luck to them anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

Lol, they wondered if you were going to do this...I just laughed some more.

goddamit, I don't think its humanly possible for a NL player to get this bonus. I could easily put in 40 hrs 10 tabling this week and get this if Party did any justice to NL players at all.

well they screw the lowest levels a little, but rake paid is much lower at NL

400NL (my main level) players get 6 PP per 20 raked hands. Basically any hand where someone puts in a non donk raise pf is raked at least 1/2 of max rake, if there are any bets called after the flop it is full rake. I don't see how that is less rake.

Yes, they 'improved' the NL points structure but it is still way out of whack on certain levels.


FWIW - I'm no longer pursuing this.
I gave it a shot but I as getting WAY too tired and then lost all the money that I had won when I started.
Additionally, I'm already not feeling too hot after 1 night of trying it. And the party software was giving me fits.


At the start I was able to 12-table 3/6 and 5/10 full with very little effort and was up over 100BB's.
After I got tired I gave back all of that and another 100BB's on top of that.
PT and PAHud were pretty sluggish though.

Today there seem to be wait-list problems. Not sure if this is a regular thing or not but I am still getting called to tables and STILL not able to sit (because it says reserved).
It's annoying.
It took me over an hour just to get on 8 tables...while constantly getting called to others where I was unable to sit...and then trying to keep playing semi-compentently on the other tables I had going.

It was way too much.

It's a great promotion with great value to it for those who understand the party-bugs better than I do.
And I still think that you can do it semi-casually at 3/6 and 5/10 and still have a chance of making it there.
But my bankroll is a little thin these days and I've taken 4 vacations in the last 4 months so I think it's time to stop chasing all this tempting WSOP stuff that's out there and focus on actually making an income and being responsible about my 'job'.

Microbob,

I had the same waitlist problems that you did. It seems that sometimes many tables appear when u join the waitlist. You have to join them in the order that they appeared (PartyPoker stacks them so that puts them in reverse order). Its backwards as hell, but once you get used to it, it doesn't seem that much more backwards then all the other stuff PartyPoker does (God I'm in a bad mood today).
