Party Poker: More Than Just a Facelift.

So, I log onto Party tonight to find that the program needs an update. A few minutes later I log onto a $10 tourn and what do I find? Party is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. First my chipstack is at 2000 chips?!?! Wha-? Last night it was 800 starting chips and now 2000! This foils my whole strategy. Next I notice blinds start at 20/40. This evens things out a little since before blinds started w/ 5/10 (I think). But, wait! Levels now increase every 10 minutes! Wha-? Am I going to have to play POKER now? Does this ruin my whole strategy? What will happen? Lucky, the idiots are still there. Let's see what happens next, shall we?

Well, I eased into the final three no problem. I had been planning on playing a quick 45 minute tourn, but with the new structure it turned into an hour and a half. I basically had to go allin and double or die so that I could help out the wife and kid with a chore. Found 99 annd pushed. Biggy called and caught a J. The end. Overall, I liked it.

Crap. Now it's going to take twice as long to win money on Party? Why'd they need to go and do that. Guess I might try playing 2 at once since they now have a much more leisurely pace.
