Paddy Power Suggestions

Dub13

PP-Pitboss asked for feedback so heres my attempt.

Any chance you could add a S&G for the Fitz 110 game...?I think this would have support a 12/13 euro game (or what ever that is in $).I know some people will say just enter a cash S&G and play with your winnings but that would involve cashing out.Anything that increases the link between on-line poker and "real" poker can only be a good thing IMO.


Also how about a MTT for the 270 game...?this again would have support.How about a $10 rebuy once a week..?I am not sure if the Fitz would want to go down this road but you can only ask.

pokerpaddy

the pp-pitboss has gone on a holiday - trekking the world hoping the find the ultimate online tourney structure! we'll save this suggestion for her triumphant return.

podgeen

Hiya Dub. Sorry for late reply. Currently we cannot set up skin specific sit and go's "we do not have the technology cpn ";0) however this is in developement. We wanted to also set them up for the open and discovered, developement was required on this one. So it is up on request for future release. MTT for the 270 we could have indeed done although I fear the day is nigh. Both excellent suggestions. Both taken on board. I think next time I will ask you guys what you want when we are sponsoring before making final decisions on satellites. Ah tis good to be back in the fro.

Welcome Back Pit Boss,

Here's some from me.

Buddy List - Can't find anyone who plays on a STT

Pot Size Total - Needs a cumulative total, not just one that completes at end of each betting round

Betting Round by Round history for each player (call, raised etc ... as per ladbrokes)

Private Tourney facility

Live tourney update of where you stand in a MTT Tourney, without having to 'refresh' all the time.

7 card stud games

Limit STT games

72 hour cash out rule is crazy.

Neteller Deposit facility



Good Points - Good Customer Service, 'you folded' function , Freerolls, Action Points ... all these are the same at VC though, except the TLC.

just realised that when the 'start chat' promt popped up on my screen about 3 times over the course of last night it was probably you trying to give me pizza.

can you change the prompt to 'Get Pizza' please!? thought i'd just clicked or tabbed onto the wrong button while chatting.

doh.

.

Karl I would say they have you on a black list now...you lost your chance,maybe its a Double chance pizza offer....


PP Pitboss,
Thanks for the reply,is there any time frame for these changes or is it on the long finger as such...?

califano

I would like to see more big Freezout MMT's on ppp. The big rebuy tourneys are dominated by players who rebuy several times which reduce the chances of mortals who put a 1 rebuy max on themselves.
Freezouts are more pure as players know they must be very carefull as they cant buy back in.
So instead of $36 or $99 rebuys hows about similar buy-ins for freezout games?.

karlh

tada!

Track buddies to STT.. requested for developement - Q4 maybe
Pot size total - on request for develepement - Q4 maybe
Hand histor - developed but with small bug release early next week
Private tourney - on request for developement Q3 maybe
MTT developement - major developements happening currently
7 card stud - requested but huge developement required - long finger
Limit STT - We have in high stakes I will discuss with develpement
72 fraud barrier - This may not be indefinite but we must guard agains laundering.. New accounts will certainly always have to have barrier in place.
Neteller - it is not out of the question but it is part of a larger disussion - should we take US customers - major corp decisions here.

Imo this stance doesn't make much sense from you since VC allow Neteller transfers. Then again as you say it is a corp decision.

Ladbrokes have introduced a swipe card system for lodging and withdrawing in the shop, very handy...

The_Bullman

fairly irrelevant idea but how about making the web links in a persons profile a link? basically so you can click on it and it opens the web page instead of having to copy and paste it.

Paddy Power Poker is not VC.. We use the same software but policy procedure all running of our product is done by us. The controversy is surrounding the illegality of gambiling in certain us states and control over same.

Very funny caption Bullman :0)

I realise this, but as it is the same software, should a player (US or not) want to play on the network and deposit using netetter they have the option with VC. Some of these players may have wanted to use PPP, but use VC (or someone else on the tribeca network) instead because of this. I understand why you have this stance it's just that imo it makes no sense.

Is there anyone else other than yourselves and Ladbrokes with the same worries?

Oh dont get me wrong Imposter we are concerned about it.. And it is being discussed.. However some would say having a US player free zone is a big plus.

Yeah but this is my point. As others on the network allow this to happen, you don't have a US player free zone.

One other thing while I have your attention
Where are player notes stored?

henbane

C:\WINNT\PlayerNotes

bohsman

It links up online account, poker, phone account and sky account, you swipe it in the shop like a credit card and enter a password and account info pops up on the screen only problem Im having is that they wont link my old poker account to this account and they wont let me open a second account but they still let me withdraw in the shop without a card

Blitzkrieger

How about a "Show this hand only." button? I'm always slow to show my cards thinking it does more harm than good, but there was an instance last week where I went all in on A2345 and everybody folded. The way the game was going I wanted everybody to know I wasn't bluffing. A few times I've checked all the way to the river on the BB. It'd be nice to show I have some sort of hand rather than have everybody think I'm just staying in because it's "free".

Waylander

When you click show mucked hands in options, it does not show all your hands, but a button appears on screen for a coupleof seconds after each winning hand allowing you to show your cards for that hand. So that facility is already there.

califano

I think it would be good if PaddyPowerPoker had a time bar(like a playstation energy bar) under the avatar of the person who the action is on like the tables on SKY digitals 'The Poker Godfather' programme. The current blinking edge of the avatar in PPP is not bad but it could be more obvious who the action is on especially when the auto fold/check/fold options are being used by players and the action can move very quickly.
By the way does anyone know the poker room used on 'The Poker Godfather'?. I think the interface is really good on that poker room.

Waylander

I think it is Stan James, but I am not sure.

Culchie

I was reading somewhere that Pokerroom.com are introducing a display that shows the odds of winning the hand when people are 'All-In' ..... that will be cool !

califano

If thats the case its pretty sweet. Youve got to like the visual countdown bar. The chat section beneath is similar to ppp in thats its very apparent unlike pokerstars chat.

Culchie

AFAIK, Stan James is the same as Ladbrokes, Gaming Club etc.... Laddies has the bar countdown anyway.

Sounds good and it will really let the bad beat cases feel even worse! 89% v 11% regular reversals :eek:

As Frank Pentangeli said in GodfatherII
'They said it was a 10/1 shot....and i LOSE'

PPP-Pit Boss

Visual countdown bar has been near the top of our request list for a while. I believe we may have it for the next release (not to be confused with the current pending release with hand history)
By the way I have posted up your tourney again it is available on the list for reg.

This is all good news and its good that PPP staff seek to facilitate and strive to improve all the time.
Another good thing i think ppp could do is(especially in big MMT's or huge package tourneys is to give it a minute at least when the tourney is over to close the tournament window. It would be nice to have the participants and lookers on to have a chat and to pass on congrats and basically revel in the victory for a minute at least?. For instance 'Bullitpete' won a $12,500 package last night and when the tournie was over there was many that wanted to talk but the window closed as per normal 7 or so sec's after the conclusion.

Now please dont say 'ppp lobby' ...dont say it!!!

The_Bullman

agree with rounders123 there

how about a resizeable chat window?

Dub13

PPP-Pit Boss,

Another Suggestion for you...I hope you are not getting the hump with all these Suggestions.Last night me and Waylander were on PP and looking to play our Boards Heads up game and we found out the they are all speed or turbo up to the $50 buy in.Any chance you can change this....

Paul

PPP-Pit Boss

Do you mean MTT's? Coz at 20:30 and 20:45 there are $6 NL two tables and four tables with eight minute rounds (freezeouts). 21:50 $3 MTT four tables eight minute rounds (freezeout). 22:30 $2,000 Guarunteed freezeout $24 entry with 12 minute rounds.
We tend to change the schedule around once a month.. enter more say $10 frzouts etc dependant on demand.. but have I entirely missed the point with this answer?
Not at all getting the hump the suggestions are great. Saves me oodles of guessing time ;0)

Cannot do resizeable chat window bullman :0( sorry.. We asked but due to the way the software has been develped this would be Huge develpement cost so is out of scope. The chat window is meant to site alongside the poker table window. But can be toggled on and off and moved around the screen as a seperate entity. We do not dock it to the table window purposely as some people prefer to simply "x" it alltogether.

PPP-Pit Boss,

I am talking about 1x1 games/heads up

OilBeefHooked2

Hey PPP Pit Boss,

you said earlier that you may not continue with the friday nite $20 gaurenteed $1000.

IMO this tourney would have a larger field if it was moved to sunday evening.
As most people like to go out for a drink or whatever on friday nite and i know the boards.ie is on sunday but thats a $35 buy-in with no gaurenteed pot. :eek:

what dya think?

bohsman

Just played a $6 rebuy tourny on PPP, ran out of chips last hand before the break so rebought, screen then says "querying players for add ons" Nobody queried me so was left with 2000 chips and blinds at 300/600, is this the norm for trieca or was it a glitch, one of the hosts says tribeca will look into it in 24hrs time

The other thing is the lack of freezeouts on ppp

MadsL

I've had the rebuy thing happen to me on tribeca too;

Posted this before, but worth the laugh is the hosts response...

I'm not saying these guys aren't highly trained , but......
Jorge-Host (10:12:19): Hi, welcome to our poker room. How can I help you?
User (10:12:37): Question - why if you are out of chips in a rebuy
User (10:12:54): and it it the last hand before the topup
User (10:13:09): can you not get both the rebuy AND the top-up
Jorge-Host (10:13:41): once you are out of chips - you are out of the tourney
Jorge-Host (10:13:59): you must rebuy before the end of your last hand
User (10:14:00): but it is the last hand BEFORE the freezeout
Jorge-Host (10:14:31): but where you not out of chips?
User (10:14:46): So the freezeout starts on the last hand of level 6????
Jorge-Host (10:15:11): it depends - plz refer to individual tourney rules
User (10:15:15): That makes no sense
User (10:15:27): It depends ??
User (10:15:42): Are all rebuy tournies not played to the same rules?
Jorge-Host (10:15:56): no.
User (10:16:02): Why not?
Jorge-Host (10:16:10): some have more levels.
User (10:16:21): Ok, but apart from that
Jorge-Host (10:16:24): these can be viewed>
Jorge-Host (10:16:58): by scrolling and clicking on indiv tourneys>
Jorge-Host (10:17:08): apart from that - they are the same.
User (10:17:23): I'm not talking about the number of levels
User (10:17:42): Where are your tournament rules posted
Jorge-Host (10:18:35): plz go to Help> Tournaments> Game Ruels.
Jorge-Host (10:18:41): rules*
User (10:19:04): can u hang on one sec
Jorge-Host (10:19:17): yes can do
User (10:20:55): sorry taking an age to load
User (10:22:41): sry
Jorge-Host (10:23:08): no problem
User (10:23:34): doesn't say anything about rebuy rules
Jorge-Host (10:24:08): One moment please - thanks.
User (10:24:40): look - if you can rebuy on every hand up to the freezeout, that should include the last hand of the level..
User (10:25:02): And then you should get the top up just like everyone else
Jorge-Host (10:25:43): yes - but if you run out of chips completely >
Jorge-Host (10:26:22): you cannot rebuy or topup.
User (10:27:14): ??? I don't understand >
User (10:27:55): say if I have 1900 chips left on the 2nd last hand
User (10:28:12): I rebuy which gives me 3900 >
User (10:28:30): And then top up for a total of 5900
Jorge-Host (10:28:47): yes
Jorge-Host (10:28:50): go on
User (10:28:51): Compared to if I play the last hand
User (10:28:59): Get beaten
User (10:29:24): and can only then get a single top up of 2000
User (10:29:31): How is that fair???
User (10:29:54): I've NEVER seen that rule in any live tournie
User (10:30:27): see my point
User (10:30:30): ?
Jorge-Host (10:30:43): What I'm saying is only that >
Jorge-Host (10:31:31): if after any hand you are out of chips, you cannot rebuy or top-up. You are out.
User (10:31:52): AFTER the freezeout >
Jorge-Host (10:32:29): No forget freeze-out section. I'm meaning during rebuy levels.
Jorge-Host (10:32:43): Are we agreed on that part?
User (10:32:54): What????
User (10:33:23): If you are out of chips you can rebuy - thats what a rebuy means!
Jorge-Host (10:33:45): Incorrect sorry. You must rebuy before that stage.
User (10:33:59): Nonsense.
Jorge-Host (10:34:07): Any thime from 1000 chips in stock down to 1, but not 0.
User (10:34:10): I go all-in > lose > rebuy...
Jorge-Host (10:34:14): *time.
User (10:34:25): time?
Jorge-Host (10:34:40): (i typed thime)
User (10:34:42): hello?
User (10:35:08): Look - do you play poker (withoutmeaning to be rude)
User (10:35:27): All-in means ALL - down to zero...
Jorge-Host (10:35:38): No.
Jorge-Host (10:35:43): Sorry.
User (10:35:51): What????
Jorge-Host (10:35:58): I'm 100% correct.
(10:36:12): Please wait... contacting available host.
User (10:36:12): Tell me what happens when I go all-in then?
(10:36:27): Please wait... contacting available host.
User (10:36:27): How many chips have I left???
(10:36:47): Chat session opened with kay-host.
(10:36:48): Chat session opened with kay-host.
kay-host (10:37:04): well you win or loose
kay-host (10:37:10): is you loose you go out
User (10:37:24): right. If I lose how many chips have I left?
kay-host (10:37:50): none you are out
User (10:38:04): And in a rebuy can I rebuy?
kay-host (10:38:40): a rebuy can not be made at that stage no
User (10:38:53): At what stage...?
kay-host (10:39:00): when you are out
kay-host (10:39:13): ie zero chips
User (10:39:31): Before the freezeout - If I have no chip can I rebuy?
kay-host (10:39:57): before the river?
User (10:40:05): ??
kay-host (10:40:15): do you know what the river is?
User (10:40:31): Kay - have you ever played in a rebuy tournament?
kay-host (10:40:42): I understand the question
User (10:40:49): Of course I knw what the river is for god's sake...
kay-host (10:40:58): and I have confirmed this with the Management team
kay-host (10:41:06): that develope the product
kay-host (10:41:18): you can not rebuy when you are out of the game
kay-host (10:41:51): ie have zero chips
User (10:42:00): So tell me why when I run out of chips in a rebuy tournie before the freezeout a dialogbox comes up asking me if I wish to buy more chips?
kay-host (10:42:05): it is possible I am missunderstanding the question
User (10:42:20): Yes, I think so.....
User (10:42:39): Ok slowly...
User (10:42:46): In a rebuy tournie
User (10:42:54): before the freezeout...
User (10:43:10): if I run out of chips I can rebuy - YES?
kay-host (10:44:18): yes
User (10:44:25): Great...
User (10:44:52): Now on the last hand of the last level before the freezeout...
User (10:45:12): If I run out of chips I can rebuy, yes?
kay-host (10:45:32): yes you can.. you will then be givent he option of rebuying and an addon if applicable
User (10:45:58): OK - now that doesn't happen with your software...
User (10:46:21): I just got the top-up, and not the rebuy....
kay-host (10:46:28): Do you have a hand number?
User (10:46:36): so just 2000 and not 4000 chips
User (10:46:46): Nope...sorry
