Party making the switch to Beta?

[PShabi]

I just read something that indicates 5/10 LHE, 6-max, BAD BEAT tables have been added. If someone is around when this gets back up, could you verify this for a brother at work?

Gangsta.

Hello! If this is true............... just think how much FASTER I'll be able to lose to the idiots!

Bout time they change their starting stacks.

[BrianSwa]

maybe they saw my thread

Thats cool the new changes look nice, I really like the new way you can set up your tables like tileing or however u spell it and stuff. For someone like me that has to have the tables overlap its real nice. Looking forward to this.

Does this mean you are playing again, or were you speaking in future tense? I'm no judging either way - just wondering.

Also, how is Gavin? Feel free to reply in a new OT thread or via PM if you don't feel this is the place (it isn't)... I'm just wondering.

[BrianSwa]

well I won $57 in one of the points tournies, Thats what im playing with right now. Been able to build it a little at $25 NL which I know is above bankroll but it was free money sooo. Gavin is good, I will pm you details when i have more time to type it out to you.

If you are having problems running the new Party Beta after the update, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, uninstall the software and try to reinstall totally.

I've read of people doing this routine procedure, hoping to troubleshoot some basic problems. What has happened is Party's software may have done some damage and deleted a majority (if not all) of the image files on their hard drives.

So, people are losing photos of junior's gradution, titties in Cancun, the weekly bridge club meeting, etc.

However, the image and icon files for other programs were deleted as well, rendering them useless. In every situation I've read about, the common variable was uninstalling and reinstalling the software.

What a fuck up.

Wow, I'm gonna stay away from Party until this mess is cleaned up.

[MAYHEM45]

Its been pushed back till 2pm now. I will check then.

[PShabi]

I'll be leaving work early today and hitting the tables hard this afternoon.

Quick rake question: At the BBJ tables, they rake 50 cents extra, right? When does this occur? When the pot reaches what amount?

I'm just wondering if the RBCalc program handles the bbj tables smoothly or if I'd manually have to figure that shit out.

If they rake the .50 every hand, it'd be easy to calculate. I don't think that's the case though.

[nflchad]

Anytime they rake a hand they drop .50 or at least they used to. I wonder how the rake will look on the new 25 No limit Bad Beat tables where it's frequently raked .10 doesn't really seem fair to drop .60 on a $2 pot

at this point DO NOT play in any game at Party where you stand a chance of being moved to a different table.

Nikki & I are playing for fun in a play chip tourney and EVERYTIME you get moved your chip stack resets to 1000. I went from over 11K to 1K. The nice thing is, if you're less than 1000 you go back up to 1000...

I don't know if this will be happening once the real money tables return (they're not back online yet) but I would definitely confirm that this IS NOT happening before buying into a game.

[Boobie Lover]

I can no longer play on Party Poker because it says my operating system is not supported. Windows XP x64 edition is not supported. What a fucking joke!

Meh, I guess I had to uninstall then reinstall it to get it to work.

[PShabi]

Someone else had reported this problem and Party was working to correct it from what I heard. But you're waiting, at the very least.

Enjoy!
