And then lost another $22 ticket this morning... LoL. I knew it expired at 11:20am PT today and had plans on using it. Unfortunately I've been far too busy to play a schedule of tournaments - - lots of extra work I'm committed to & some holiday prep. stuff too (just bought an RV & getting it ready for a couple of big trips... maybe even to Montreal for the
wsop-C events).
My peeve with those PPLive tickets are that you can only see '3' tourneys to register for with them (typically running within the next 2hrs.). So I can't even check to see when they'll be running a day from then... a couple days from then or even just a few hours from then. Makes it VERY difficult to make plans if you're unfamiliar with the scheduling of them. So because of this I lose another $22 (I bought into the $5 before it & then of course the time invested playing it).
I liked the thought of picking up a few PPLive dollars as it would definitely sway me towards adding in a stop to the Playground Club while driving across the country at the end of August (a 4,000 km trip). But as it is ... it is summer right now & I'm home less than half the time & when I am home I'm working 90% of the time. Chances are I probably won't bother to play in any of them (too hard to plan... especially while knowing you only have 7days to use it).
I'm curious... why is there a 7-day expiry on a ticket you invest your $'s & time into? I've never seen this before on any site I've played on. I can see if it's some ticket you've won from a promo or some sort of freeroll but why does Partypoker have time restraints on other tickets that the customers have bought & paid for with both $'s & time. From my end it seems like a bad business decision by Partypoker as it upsets (or disappoints) many 'customers'. I just don't understand the need for it?
