PartyPoker revamp 17t June

Looks like PP is getting all its players to change their alias, along with the incoming HUD bans etc. Also apparently all 3rd party tools to be banned,and even hand histories will be unavailable. Step too far?

Whats your thoughts on this? You think this is a good thing for online poker?

I think HH ban is awful.

Don't care that much about the rest really. I just want to be able to see my EV so I can cry about how far below it I am when running bad / ignore how far above it I am when running good.

Plus, statistical analysis has been pretty key in exposing several bot-rings in the past.

Yeah I 100% agree. HH ban is a really bad direction. I think hud ban is fine. I kind if feel like their agenda was to ban HUDs but then realised how difficult that would be with HHs. So took lazy approach and removed them. Throwing out this "make it like live games" bullshit. Its sad really as Stars was getting alot of negativity and PP had a golden opportunity to seize market share. Maybe I will be proven wrong.

I can understand the reasoning behind banning HUDs, but removing hand histories altogether feels like a lazy solution. Trying to emulate live games is understandable, but it might not be the most effective approach. It's a missed opportunity for platforms like PP to differentiate themselves. Who knows, maybe things will turn out differently than expected. By the way, have you ever tried exploring crypto games slots? They can offer a fun and exciting gaming experience.
