I had some pretty major problems with party blackjack myself. At one stage I busted my 2/4 roll. They won't disable the blackjack part of your account for you. Bastards.

The best that I can suggest is that you go to:
C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyCasino\Language\en_US\Image s\games\cardgames\blackjack

and find BlackJack.dll, delete it, copy another file and rename it to BlackJack.dll and then right click, go to properties, set it to be read only. When I did that party isn't able to overwrite it unless you intentionally unset the read only flag. Fortunately I'm not degen enough to actually go and do that.

Hope this helps. Table games are pure evil. Click. One more. Click. ok one more. Click. click click f it I don't care anymore I'll just quit poker it doesn't matter.

i [censored] hate party blackjack. I installed the casino to be able to play the lower house edge single-deck... What makes it worst is that I'm actually up 500-1000$ on it overall (I only began playing party blackjack when I had a run at the casino whoring thing for the second time this past week and cashed out hundreds in profit from a few sites).

Gotta go.

EDIT: Reading this made me play. +120. Sat out. Sat back in w/ that 120, lost all. Sat back in w/ 100. Lost. Sat back in w/ 200. Lost. Sat back in w/ 500, gambled ~10 times at $100/hand (max for single deck, I tried to do $200 once but software didn't let me, thankfully). Sat back out when at $700 (dropping low at one point). Sent e-mail to party to have myself excluded from casino games if possible. Uninstalling casino now. I'm rolled for 1/2-2/4 NL.

go into the party gaming folder and delete the casino folder

I've probably lost about 4k on Party blackjack. I enjoy blackjack, but have no urge to play at Party because it's so blatantly rigged. Makes me feel queasy just opening it up.

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

there's a menu option in the partypoker client to hide the blackjack stuff.

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

duh

Hide doesn't do jaaaaaaaack. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Too easy to unhide, deleting the dir might work although I think it can redownload it if you don't delete it well enough.

And party won't exclude you.

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

thanks for the replies guys.

ghaz - cheers - ive followed ur instructions and got rid of it..

at the very least it will give me a few seconds to try and talk some sense to myself the next time tilt or boredom strikes and that little barsteward in my head starts whispering "why not give blackjack a go?"

If you can't exercise enough control to stay away from Party blackjack, then you must be an awful poker player.

Yes, bad poker players are. Good players don't have those leaks.

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

There's an option to control the "Maximum amount you can take to a game" (per game) at https://secure.partyaccount.com/cashier_summary.htm

Perhaps setting it to $0 would work?

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

its obviously rigged, im probably down about 20k on party blackjack and i now have to sell my car to pay for my party blackjack habits, but i think i can still beat it....

ghaz: Thanks for the instructions. That's a good idea I think.

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

I'd agree strongly with OP

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

I agree that it's definitely a leak but it doesn't really say whether you're a good poker player or not. It's just one of those other things that make you a much worse professional gambler. Another example might be game selection. As a profession, however, you're pretty correct that it's a horrendous leak if you can't exercise self control. However all of us go on tilt some times. Probably all just semantics. Somebody can be a fantastic poker player but still go off the deep end in -EV games and someone can be a pretty mediocre player from a pure ability sense who just exercises a lot of discipline (e.g. a lot of the things that barryg recommend in ace on the river).

In the end though, disabling this stuff makes it a lot easier to exercise self control whether you need it or not.

Josem, once again you're running your mouth without having the slightest clue what you're talking about.

Being able to control your impulses is all part of being a great poker player. The edge between solid players is negligible. Avoiding the urge to dump money on table games at casinos is all part of being professional. Ivey is one example of someone able to overcome those leaks. Most don't. The majority of "pros" are close to busto or are there.

Re: Partypoker blackjack
 

LOL at a shortstacker telling people they aren't good poker players.

I believe there is a correlation between intelligence and poker skill. I also believe there is an inverse correlation between intelligence and playing blackjack (assuming no card counting). So playing blackjack and having one of the criteria of a good poker player is inconsistent.

If the person knows it is stupid to play blackjack but can't control themselves then they have no disciple and being a bad poker player is the least of their worries. Lack of disciple makes being successful at anything very difficult and makes it impossible at anything gambling related.
