Why I F***** Hate Party Poker (or Goodbye, Party)

If anyone was looking for a reason for me to hate Party, here it is. I lost the $20 comeback bonus they put in my account. How? Watch:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Hero ($15.04)
UTG ($4.72)
MP ($25.83)
Button ($32.85)
SB =Donkey ($35.65)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8d, 5d. Donkey posts a blind of $0.1.

UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, Donkey (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.75) Kc, 9c, 7h (3 players)

Donkey checks, Hero bets $0.75, UTG calls $0.75, Donkey calls $0.75.

Turn: ($3) Tc (3 players)

Donkey checks, Hero checks, UTG checks.

River: ($3) 6h (3 players)

Donkey checks, Hero bets $2, UTG calls $2, Donkey calls $2.

Final Pot: $9

Results in white below:

Hero has 8d 5d (straight, ten high).

UTG has As Kh (one pair, kings).

Donkey has 2c 4c (flush, king high).

Outcome: Donkey wins $9.


Now, nevermind any of the play. Simply the fact that this donkey a) called the BB, b) called 0.75 more, then c) called another $2 bet on a 4-high flush?

And of course, my final hand, which bison's converter won't convert right simply probably because of it's sheer stupidity. And no, I'm not kidding about this one.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 max, 5 handed)

Seat 1: Hero ( $7.39 )

Hero posts small blind [$0.1]; BB posts big blind [$0.25].

Un-freakin-believable. Party sucks. Back to UB and Stars for me.

And thanks Gracie from Sheverb for the nice comments and for stopping by--I will get to play in a WPBT event. Really I will.
