Yeh pretty happy with it, not to actually start turning a decent profit!!

Also, I've seen a few screens of similar messages @CrazyKeri, I'm presuming it's the same guy that is sending them to a bunch of players anytime he loses a stack. I can't wait to get mine!! Wink

Haha yeah, did make me giggle!

I have had a similar start to you on the Summer Grind promo. Went down pretty quick and am on the way to recovery, haven't quite broke the 0 mark yet but nearly there, around 9k hands in.

Have not seen you at the tables yet I don't think. I am xCrazy_Kx by the way.

Yeh I don't recognise the name, possible we just play at different times though. I'll keeo an eye out, I'm fergrberger on the site!

My mistake was thinking I was still a multitabling pro. I used to be able to play 8 tables of micro zoom profitably so I figured 4 would be a doddle. It wasn't......

Haha, I think to be fair there is less of a timer on Party then some sites, even the timebank is like 8 seconds? I went from 4 tabling blaze on Micro to Party and there is quite a difference for sure, does not help! 8 tables though, that is pretty sick! Laugh

Not sick, stressful! When I say I was profitable, my winrate was absurdly low for the stakes I was playing.

I had a week off work at one point and made a bet with myself that u could hit 100k hands in a week. I tried 12 tabling rush poker on full tilt. It ended......poorly.

lol brilliant! After an hour of 4 tabling zoom I feel in a trance and need a break, can't imagine what that week did to you! Laugh

Welcome too the club. Call me a poker whore but I'll take the abuse of his stack Laugh

I probably should have mentioned that I didn't make the 100k mark! I was on target after a few days and then decided that it was not a wise move to continue, for my mind OR my bankroll!

So am I the only one winning in this challenge LaughLaughLaugh
have to say ,dont want to sound like a conspiracy theory but the shit is real ,really really bad card distribution ,not constantly big coolers but the way these boards run out and some of the hands I have been getting called down or rivered its weird.
EV difference comes from winning some preflop flips etc.

I'm getting my ass kicked on this promo as well. If the super stars can only just break even there is something not great about it. I was going for some more steps of the challenge but I won't be now.

I'm losing worse and faster than all of you though. -20BI although 11BI below EV after 20k hands. I don't think I'm playing super bad either. I'm going to get to 30k hands then quit and never play Party Poker again. I would quit now but if I play another 10k hands I'll clear like 18BI in accrued bonus so have to clear that. Its been a joke though. Interesting that everyone seems to feel the same way. I'm sure its just confirmation bias and not a scandal about to engulf Party Poker as this turns out to be a scam.

Nah I don't see anything out of the ordinary at the tables. The pool is exceptionally nitty I have found which makes since given the amount of autopiloting 4 tablers out there. As a result I am playing a lot LAGier than I normally would and taking down a lot of small pots. But I have not noticed anything dodgy or questionable. And as I mentioned while I am only breaking eveningish after the first 7k hands this is purely down to my attempts at fourtabling for the first 3.5k hands, I played like an idiot and made some horrific calldowns and ended up dropping 8BI's in this period so the last few thuosand hands has just been damage control. I am positive that this is going to be decently profitable for me prior to any bonuses, add in the extra free money and it's going to be a nice little earner I think!

...........

I just jinxed it didn't I.

Yuuuuup!

I don't think I could play 4 tables any faster than I do 2. I'm already hitting fast fold as fast as I can.

Up just over $50 now after player nearly 10k hands.Red and blue lines have crossed the profit line, woohoo!!
