anyone tried the new game format on PP . the copy after rush poker from full tilt and zoom from PS .. fast forward it's still in the beta version ...available in NLHE and PLO ... but they still need to work on it .. there are some small delays(5-10 sec sometimes) when changing the tables and it happens from time to time for the table just to freeze for about 1-2 min but one of the most interesting things that i've noticed after a 2h session at 0.05/0.10 and 0.10/0.25 was that PP was taking the rake but i wasn't awarded any party points... just wanted to ask if anybody played it and noticed the same thing and of course what is your opinion about it

Kind of surprised that Party actually has the numbers online to make this work smoothly, be interested to see what it is like at medium stakes (say nl100+) at off-peak (aussie) times.
will poker sites has been rushing things for a more bigger rake..fast poker=fast rake=fast profit
Nice win though mate...Gl on your venture in high speed poker... I dont play much at PP since i was broke last time when i lost all my freeroll winnnings... Still waiting for the BRM freerolls there....

I laughed when I got the email from party. I thought fulltilt had the idea protected or something but I guess even if they were in a position to sue, the format is too general to not be copied. All they do is slap another name on it and shamelessly pretend it's their own. There's no acknowledgment that other rooms have already done something similar and I don't see why they have to steal ideas anyway. It's not like they are short of original promotions - that was the one good thing about the site.

Since I don't have the time to play Tourneys much, been playing Zoom regularly on PS. The Varience is "crushing". Usuallt do well until I get AA or KK, and I lose my stack pulling someone all-in pre-flop.
Seen it all! Trips, 4-flushes on the board, full houses, two pair. pfffffffff ! "almost" ready to dump those top two hands if someone goes all-in against me...
Going to give Fast Forward a shot though. It's nice when you only have an hour or so to play, I think.

Nice profit for a couple of hours. But with 1-2 minutes freezing on the tables change, the only thing its not so far is fast poker. And with the known issues in Party Poker its gonna take a while

i think they've managed to fix the table freezing ... at least for the moment.....and it seems that that the fixed also the problem with the points, they award the points at the end of the session... hopefully people will start playing also on low stakes cause at the moment its really nothing happening at those tables

I have to wim up some money on freerolls before I can try that new promo but by the looks of it, it seems like good thing for PP since it may attract some more traffic to their site.
