Mike O'Malley: please fix the Speed SNGs

[MicroBob]

I guess I feel for you.

But anyone who has had disappearing button issues and knows full well that the problem is not fixed BUT continues to play there only to run into the same problem they had before probably gets what they deserve.


Party should fix the damn problem. That's obvious.
But you don't exactly win the brilliance award for deciding to go back and 'give PP one more try'.

What the hell did you think was going to happen?

So you are going to flame me in this post? That's a good idea. Ok I'll tell you how things went so it wont bother you that much.

I fired up 9 regs since i thought they were pertty much safe. And they were. No problems.

At the same time PO launched a new update for the PP speeds and in the forum the administarator said that PP speeds are now working fine with PO. I thought hey I'll give it a go and started eight regs and one speed. No problems.

Then I started a third set with multiple speeds and some regulars... and this happened.

So instead of berating lets just focus on the problem, OK? Are you involved in this thread just to say bad things about PP and berate fools (yeap) like me or do you want the problem to be fixed?

[MicroBob]

I'm not flaming you necessarily.
I really don't understand why anyone would try to play their SNG's right now if they had already had this probloem before, knew it wasn't a one-time thing, and didn't know whether it was fixed or not.


I wasn't aware that the PO forum reported that everything was good. That makes things a bit different obviously.

I'm mostly involved in this thread because I'm just a curious bystander. I can't play at Party because I'm in the U.S. but it wouldn't be impossible for me to eventually make my way back to Party if I moved outside the U.S. or if they took U.S. customers again.

But stuff like disappearing buttons and SNG-bots etc I think does effect the entire online-poker community as a whole actually.

So seeing how they handle situations like this can play into my decision of ever returning there.
I root for Party to make such stuff right because the more professional all sites are about their glitches, collusion, etc...the better it looks for online-poker everywhere.

If these problems are more and more common everywhere, and players are never refunded for things even when it's the sites fault, then that just adds fuel to those who argue that online-poker should not be allowed in their country.

It's probably not huge. But other countries are always considering this kind of stuff too. And I hate it when the anti-online-poker people can also say, "And they just do whatever they want to with your money even if there are bots or collusion or software-glitches."

I see your point. It's a good point. I apologize for my attitude. I was just frusturated. Am frusturated.

I'm feeling the same way too. I too gave it one last try and got burnt by the missing buttons, but do want very much to get back to playing.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I fugured I'd give PP one more try and here we go:

Today I mixed some Speeds and Regulars and look what happened. The regulars get "infected" too as you can see from the picture.

<font color="red">I WOULD RELLY LIKE TO PUSH THAT 99</font> and many other hands. The buttons disappeared in ~10 minute unterwalls. And after all the speeds had finished (OUT OF THE MONEY, THANKS TO MISSING BUTTONS) buttons did not disapper from the Regulars.

Party owes me money. Thats the way I see it. Do others?

And one weird thing to add: the x buttons are missing from the upper right corners of the tables.

I never noticed the X missing when I played but perhaps I just never looked for it. You also have the problem where the thing that says "You turns(s) X" all say different values on each table.

I've sent an email to PP support and attached the (raw) images above to the email. That was 12 hours ago. No answer yet.

Speeds are named again. I'm tired and not going to play. Someone post a trip report.
