That's a new one.
But notice that the bad beat jackpot is confined to specific bad beat tables. Which, if anything, just makes it even MORE suspicious.
Whatever, take all this with a grain of salt, but I can't shake the feeling that Party's shuffle is screwy. Especially when I hear other experienced poker players, who regularly switch between numerous sites, singling Party out as the place where their results are "all over the place" or "streaky" or what have you. | | Static Link |

I am 99% certain that Party's shuffle is flawed somehow, if not deliberately programmed to cause good/bad streaks.
NOWHERE do the cards run like they do at Party.
People can cry "conspiracy theory" all they want, but there's something wrong with the shuffle. Period. If it weren't for the bonuses, I'd be staying far the hell away from that place.
Haha, holy shit, look what happened, AS I WAS TYPING UP THIS POST!
I swear to god I'm not making this up.
Notice what I folded, what came on the board, and what ended up winning:

Forum: Bonus Whores | Playing multi tables is going to definitely affect your reads and heads up play. However, if the tables are loose and flop % high, then you will probably still be paid off when your big hands hit and reading people really doesn't matter.
I've also had some struggles with Party, my P&L spreadsheet is showing results there all over the place, though still well net positive in the long run.. but, very inconsistent compared to all the other sites. Hate to say it, but Party definitely has some good players at the .50/1 and 1/2 levels.. and without the ability to see flop % before going into the room, you really don't know what you're deal with until you've chopped around breakeven for 30 minutes. | | Static Link |

I am finding my win rate is way down.
At 1 table i'm at about 2.5 bb/hr. At 3 i'm at about .5bb/hr/table.
I've only been playing 3 tables at a time about a month so i'm not giving up yet.I also seem to do better at crypto than party for some reason.
My biggest problem is not being able to get a good read on players.I am sure I am getting bluffed out of a extra few pots and also missing out on getting max amount of bets in with big hands.It is also very hard to pratice hand reading when I am busy clicking from table to table.The extra bonus money more than makes up the difference but I feel like it is slowing my progress of moving up in limits. | | Static Link |
