Hi,

Can you please explain something for me? On May 1st according to my Bonus Details screen i played 673 raked hands (i know i played them all on the one day because i havent played since). And yet my party points statement only awarded me 116 regular points for live play on that day, which at my level is 4 points per 20 raked hands, therefore saying i played somewhere between 580 and 599 raked hands. I only played at one level.

So why does one screen say i played 673 raked hands (which i know to be the accurate figure), and the other screen says i played less than 600? Is a "raked hand" different for calculating party points than earning a bonus? If so, how's it calculated and whats the difference? Or do you actually award party points on a per-table basis (i switched tables a few times), and not the per-level basis that you say you do?

Thanks,

660 divided by 20 = 33 times 4 = 132. Damn call TeddyFBI or maybe his mom

It's the magical mystery riddles points saga

Do not contact party with riddles as clear questions to them is riddle enough.

I predict the response to this query being hilariously irrelevant. Please post it.

Yep the response was a complete fob off. I've replied basically repeating the query and asking them not to fob me off if they dont know the answer, but pass my email on to someone that does.

So basically i'll never hear from them again...

And yes i know that 20ish party points here and there doesnt mean much, but its the principle (and i'm just plain curious to get an answer).

It might be the fact that you changed tables, like you said. If you play 19 hands at one table, then move to another and play another 19 hands and leave, I am pretty sure you will not get any points.

You can switch tables. You just can't switch levels. If you play 19 raked hands at one table, switch to another table at the same level and play 1 raked hand you will have played 20 raked hands

Switching levels would then make you lose points,though you get your raked hands in.Unless you count the exact raked hands,and when you get to an even 20 you then switch levels and make sure you end on 20.Complicated but rest your soul pp has in it order.
