Hey Jack are they still a sponsor?

If not, let me know and I will put in a good word for you....

I do lots of business with them....

 

[MadJack]

nope, no longer a sponsor. they signed up though some internet marketing agency and, i guess, didn't get much biz from here. who knows........some do very well and some don't.

i don't like dealing with agencies anyway. i prefer to deal with the owners in case of problems. know what i mean?

Party Poker has grown too big for its britches in my opinion. No customer service anymore, terrible uptime, no responses to emails or phone calls. Mike Sexton had a good thing and tried to grow too fast too soon. Freeze you play anywhere else? PokerStars is still my choice.

no partypoker is filled with idiots

advertised on Travel channel and their success took off

i used to play at paradise but i think its rigged....never played at pokerstars

FWIW I like PP. The tournements are fun for a cheap entry fee.

I play at paradise and enjoy it. I have never played anywhere else on-line for real money, so I don't have any comparison, though.

dude you oughtta get on partypoker.....i play very low limits -- 1$/2$ short handed/3tables simultaneously and make about 30$/hour

i paid for a pretty sizeable engagement ring and nice wedding band and now a considerable amount going to Hawaii from this website

not to bad for a poor med student

Freeze, i play the 5$-1$fee PL hold'em. 1rst gets 25 2nd gets 15 and 3rd gets 10.

What is the deal with short hand and the multi-table games?

 

[dawgball]

wareagle--at paradise, I have had most success at the $10-$1 NL Hold 'em tourneys. $20-3rd; $30-2nd; and $50-1st.

Paradise has the $5 tourneys as well, but the rake is still $1. I feel better paying the buck for a chance at $50 instead of $25.

 

[dr. freeze]

yeah wareagle....don't play 5$ tourneys or you are gonna lose over the long haul....play 10$ ones cuz juice is 10% instead of 20%

paradise has better tourneys IMO because pot increments increase slower....however, over long run this hurts a guy if he is a good player because tourneys take longer and solid play means more at upper limits than lower limits....plus the play at partypoker leaves a LOT to be desired...

I play tight passive in the first few rounds than play tight aggressive after that NL....its a good formula for tourneys because you always get idiots who will put all in after flop if they got top pair and sometimes you can steal it with a higher pair, two pair or a set and double your $$ pretty much guaranteeing placing

anyways, let me know if you want to join party poker cuz we both get $$ added to accounts if friends are referred

Just played in a great tourney. Finished 3rd for $20. Got beat with QJ suited vs 10J. He finished with A high straight. Overall, it was one of the better tables that I have seen. Couple of quick-outs, but that's going to happen every time on the lower level tourneys. I love it when it comes down to three players! It's all bonus from that point.

 

[dr. freeze]

not all bonus...thats a misperception and thats when playing good poker will win you $$$

cuz LOTS of other people play like they are content and aren't as sharp after they know they are in the money...
