Why is it so hard to get onto a tourney table at PartyPoker?, Quark, 18. Dec 2003 11:38
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
Every time I'm on the lobby screen to see what tables are waiting for players, I click on to a table I'd like ("waiting for 10 players") and lo and behold, when the table view comes on screen, every seat is full and the cards are being dealt. It seems either the lobby view doesn't get updated often enough or you have to be lightning quick to play any tournament game!

I have a cable modem, so connection shouldn't be an issue. Does anyone know what this could be????

You need the right mentality..

Squint your eyes.
Imagine a tumbleweed blowing by behind you.
Rub your fingers together.

"waiting for 10 players" DRAW!

damn seat already taken, wait this ones open, damn seat taken by someone else click, click-click...THERE!

They still can't outdraw the Kid...

I don't know why they use the cumbersome table joining system for these. I don't think it would be too difficult to have players select a general format that they'd like to play and then queue up the players and start a SnG for every 10. Since table selection isn't part of the equation I think it would improve the efficiency and the customer satisfaction.

very good point, that would be nice. This is only a problem on the $5's and $10's, after you move up to $30 SnG's there isnt as many people playing and you can get a seat at almost any table that pops up.

I think this is a great idea! Maybe someone from one of the online poker rooms takes notice of this idea and implements it.

He is not looking for multi-table tourny's. Those are never a problem.
The problem is with SNG's, and I'm guessing it's party.
