So would you just open shove every single hand?

Doubleme

So went light on party since they butchered all rakeback programs and changed the structure of games to be hard to beat without rakeback now they have a stupid promo of chests when you hit certain milestones and thought would try to see if worth anything and I kid you not one cent tournement.

Okay I really do not have the motivation or care to play 1 cent tournies if I have a 1000% roi in these its worth 10 cent. not sure anyone has a 1000% roi, but just cannot be bothered with that its utterly pointless, but just to burn the tickets so it doesnt distract me from other tickets I am kinda of tempted to use and shove every single hand would you guys do that?

i think those tourneys are supposed to be for having some fun........

they help people get to grips with how luck variance can swing or let some try out a different tactic.......imo

its easy to scoff at such games when you have a nice bankroll behind you, some folk need those wee games and decent freerolls to learn without the pressure of losing money......losing too much too quickly puts people off fast......you have just forgot what it is like to be a learner or stuck at the bottom........

you would be suprised I dont deposit I only withdraw but that means when I go on a down swing without a reload I have on several occasions over the years found myself managing a micro bankroll. At one point on here I was down to £30 in the account.

I mean if my account did hit zero I would likely reload but this is something to try and be avoided.

I have managed a micro bankroll plenty of times when winning some small change in a free roll can seem like a big deal at that point.

However 1 cent tickets are still not worth the effort. The free rolls on here are worth a few quid typically, considering that if engaged in an mtt session the normal win rate would be a few quid a table the free rolls make complete sense for pretty much anyone I am suprised there is not way more people in them on here.

However 1cent tournies are just a joke I guess at that point it is pretty similiar to play money.

it is play money, thats the point, to encourage those without to play, have fun, get the bug, play more and then start to scoff at the "waste o time, 1 cent games"

I'm not sure what the problem is. Don't like them? Don't play them then. They don't FORCE you to use them.

A lot of players DO like them, & as a Promo tool for Party, they work very well on EXACTLY the sort of Customers they are looking to attract. They don't really want Customers like you & I, they want net depositors.

I actually think your spot on they seem to have done everything they can to get rid of profitible players. to gutting the rewards program changing the structure to force less edge and even editing the tables to make them even worse then unibet for tiling. short of outright rigging the deck im not sure what more they can do to get rid of profitible players. The Message is clear party is not a long term viable site.

It does make me fear for the whole future of online poker but ultimately I dont think there is long left as a profit opportunity so get what you can whilst you still can I guess.

Doubleme

btw I am not for a second implying party rig the deck I dont believe they do, I was just saying that is coming close to been the only thing left for them to do to further attack profitable players.

Bar Grosvenor and Sky not many sites offer many incentives for poker playing alone, just the way the world is @Doubleme. Same way as no site that u do not have 10 years plus accounts behind you can just close your account without notice with one winning bet
