First I would like to thank everyone for some solid advice. My play has improved and I look at my first bankroll swing as the cost of an education. I was playing Party Poker and the Internet connection was always in a 12-14 second delay. I logged out. I am not sure if this was the site or my connection. Anyone else experience connection delay which makes then miss good calls on hands? Is this site bogged down with too many players then the site can handle? Any good or bad words about PartyPoker site is appreciated?

I have dial-up, and have the same problems. It's not you, it's them.

Last night they had some problems and I think it was everyone. I logged off and then couldn't get back on. I really didn't mind since after 130 hands I was dead even and I really wasn't playing to my full potential anyway (so sometimes getting kicked off if a good thing).

There has only been one other session in the last month where the connection was slow so overall considering the growth at Party I am pleased with the quality of the connection. Any minor problems seems to be related more with the Telephone company that Party uses and not Party's servers or internal network becuase there is no corelation between the amount of users and server quality.

I had the same problem last night, I couldn't finish a sit n go because of the lag at their site. This was the first time I had seen this since they improved thier servers a month or so ago..

I'm hoping it was a one night problem. If not I may have to find elsewhere to play..

Player,

I don't know if it's just me but it seems that every time I play on Party Poker they experience a server crash. Last night the site was down for nearly a half hour, from 11:30 P.M. to 12:00 A.M. EST. I'm not a huge fan of Party Poker, and the only reason I play there is because there are some absolutely brutal players there who simply don't have a clue. In addition, two others things that really annoy me about the site are the fast showdowns and the trouble they have with honoring requests for hand histories, sometimes sending you a history for a game that you weren't even in! I cannot believe that Party Poker hasn't improved their service to deal with the huge influx of players these past few months. It's really getting to be annoying.

Giocatore
