I haven't played there in a couple of months but I went back for the current reload bonus and I realized I'm just wasting my time. I can't believe how many rocks there are there, I'm playing on a Saturday evening EST and it's a huge rock garden. On top of that, the bonus takes forever to clear.

I guess I should to Pary to take them up on their reload bonus.

Thursday the 12th was the largest field of players I've seen in just over 3 months and it lookes like it's going to continue growing.
There's a TON/TONNE of players coming over right now. I say give it another chance and expect to be patient. Also the key to bonus clearing is in multi-tabling. Half my BR is FT bonus, just playing one hour a day at low-limit tables.

I notice many of the new players improvising with their own version of Cap NL and coming in with half-stakks or less. They're going to be playing the tightest looking to hit and double up. Naturally, you want to torture them.
I've noticed a few total morons try the opposite and move-in every hand... They tend to not last very long.
One important note about multi-tabling, not so much for u Pie, but anyone reading this post. Make sure you're playing winning poker first. If not, things can and will only get worse. And I don't wanna be there the day Bill Frist shows up while your stuff is being repo'd and hear him say "See, I toldya so!"
Of course I have bad days...
Sometimes I'll go a whole day without quads.

I had enough the other day, I was playing at primetime and I was 4 tabling 100NL and there might have been 3 players with VP$IP% over 20 on the 4 tables. I've never seen so much folding, and I was picking the tables with the highest average pot. I just figured my time was better spent at sites with faster bonuses and looser players.

there is no more Party Poker for US players, but if you find a site even close to that, please let me know...Also, I think the general poker population is just getting smarter - Have you tried 6max?

Full Tilt's not so bad... and it's only gonna get better with more players. Software is above average/good, and with RB + Bonus + Mac Client, I think it'll be my new home for cash games.

Trying to teach someone how to beat games that are less than 40% VPIP and <25BB pots is useless.

Haha, you Party nutcampers think you can just come over to Full Tilt and sit on hands. Learn to play some god damn poker for a change, and then maybe you'll make money. Party fish make you retarded.

You know how fast you can turn a rock into a fish? One hand sir.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Put more money in before the flop, make them fold too much after it. Make them urgently want to showdown. Midsize pot them to death in general. You're a lagg aren't you?
