STARTPOST TITLE: Party Poker Software Bug AUTHOR: Damian DATE: 12/31/2005 03:39:00 PM ----- BODY:

I'm pissed off at Party Poker right now. I'm playing the $15k guaranteed tournament with unlimited rebuys.

You aren't allowed to rebuy unless you have 1000 chips or less. Standard rules... BUT there's a huge loophole. You are able to do the rebuy during a hand. I watched a guy go all in 6 times and while he was all in he did a rebuy adding 1000 chips. Within the first 30 min he had over 7000 chips and not because of his great cards.

I called Party and they said they know about this bug and it has been escalated. Well that doesn't help me in a tourny that I'm playing in and a guy can rebuy/add-on with no chip minimum.

Completely unfair for everyone else playing by the rules!

If they know about this bug in the software, they should either:

1. allow unlimited addons which it essentially is anyways,
2. cancel all future rebuy tournaments, or
3. let everyone know about this bug so we can all take advantage of it.

Fair gaming? Had this been any company in the United States or Canada you would see a huge class action lawsuit within minutes.

As for me, I'm still playing in this tournament and will try to beat the cheaters without cheating myself. 700 people left. I will, however, avoid Party Poker tournaments for the time being. Who knows what other bugs they have in their software that they aren't telling us about.
