Paddy Power Poker - How long is the wait

colly10

I've been waiting on a table on paddy power poker for an hour now, just wondering how long people normally have to wait? Its a play money table. Oh and do I have to have paid for 1 game to use play money?
Thanks

you could always sit at a table with people on it already

There's no free seats at any of them and the ones that are free are reserved for the people waiting. Just got a spot and was told that I had to put in real money first before I can use play money Back in the que again :mad:

I'm not sure what you're doing there colly, but you don't have to ever have played real money to be able to play on the 'fun money' tables.
Click 'join waiting list' and it will add you to the waiting list for all tables instead of just one.

And click the manager button and ask questions if you're not sure about anything. That's what they're there for.

I used to go to school with a lad that was waiting on one of those tables......He hasnt been seen since and that was around the time of Italia 90

just download full tilt poker - there are 100's of play money tables on there and the software is better than ipoker

I wouldn't doubt that, it's taken me about an hour wait now each time and when I got a reserved space it told me I didn't have enough to but in, the buy in is 2k, I have 20. I tried the manager button and the guy told me to log out and log back in, id be surprised if that works, thats the answer ye give when ye don't have a clue

move down levels.
play .5/1, 1/2 or 2/4 blinds.

I wouldn't expect to have to wait an hour to get on a free money table tbh, I used to play on pokerchamps (if that was the name of it) and never had to wait more than a minute or 2. It also doesn't seem to tell me my position in the queue (I assume it must somewhere) but to me that the greatest pain in the stones of them all.

I was trying the 2/4 blinds, sure i'll go on it again some other time and i'll hopefully have more luck, thanks for the help

I used to play these tables too and I just registered to the waiting lists for a load of them at different stakes and the wait won't take as long then.

TBH they are pretty crap anyway if you want to improve your game. An awful lot of people going all in every few hands.

HoLLLLLaments

paddy power doesnt open more tables as they fill. full tilt will open as many as are needed so if your playing play money play there
