Is this annoying to anyone else?, Dr_Monkey, 14. Jul 2003 07:07

I play at Party/Empire, Paradise, and UB. The thing I don't like about Party is they way they deal the cards when the hand is all in. If you blink, you miss what happens. Especially, in tournaments, when 2 or more go all in pre-flop. Zoooooom. 5 cards a spit out and the player turn over and someone leaves. I can barely see what one player went all in on.

Even paradise and UB are pretty fast at the end of the hand taking down all the cards. But atleast there, they pause after the flop, turn, and river. Builds the suspense. Let's you see how things are going to unfold.

Party makes me feel that they are there to get as many hands dealt as possible. I don't like the feeling of, "What the heck just happened? What did they have?"

I agree. I think I even posted complaining about this recently. On PokerStars when at least one player is all-in and no more bets can be made, they show everyone's hole cards and slowly deal any remaining cards. It's more realistic (for tournament play), easier to see what's going on, and more exciting.

It's also not exactly a marvel of software engineering to get it done. Let's just hope Party updates their software sometime in the near future. I looked for an email account to send suggestions to them, but didnt' see anything explicitly for that. You would think a business such as theirs would welcome customer suggestions...

On that same note, getting the Hand History is a pain in the a$$. They have to e-mail it to you. What's up with that.

As Wren pointed out sometime ago, UB has it the right way, with a pop up window. If they would do that, all problems would be solved.

... but we all know they won't do it. They can't even keep their servers running for 4 hours!
