Why does every table on Party break up withing 1/2 hour? I play on Paradise all the time and you can still be playing with the same people you started with 5 hours later. At Party 20 minutes on a table and all of a sudden you look up and 2 chairs are empty and then on the next deal the guy in the BB sits out and then the guy next to him does the same and before you know it you’re playing a 3 handed game while everyone is bolting for the exits.
Wouldn’t you want to get into a flow with a certain group of players? Granted, I know some of these people play like crackheads but I’ve never seen anything like this before. Anybody have any possible reasoning on this?

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

Totally agree. I only play tournaments on Party. mostly because they don’t use a clock based method of raising the blinds (SNG’s). They use the orbit. In slower games (O8HL/S8HL) the 15 minute round can kill you. Hard to not get in 1 orbit in HE/NL in 15 minutes. Not that rare to have the blings raised once before an orbit in the slower games.
