Party Poker: Identifying a player sitting out the table.

[ScoobyEdu]

Every time I play on partypoker, I wonder about this.
It's something that really bothers me about playing on PartyPoker, especially when I'm playing more than one table.

I'd like to hear from my fellow forum members.

Do you also find it unbelievable that the platform hasn't implemented this yet?

It's not clear what you are asking here

I think it's incredible because party poker is one of the oldest platforms and, I believe, the one that has evolved the least in terms of gameplay and performance.

Not only because I can't identify the player who's sitting out, but also when switching tables.
If I'm on a slower machine, it seems like everything goes to hell... lol

And I confess that these days, I only really like it because it has our tournaments there. Other than that, I've been playing PartyPoker less and less.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

But the question is about the platform not indicating in any way which player is sitting out...
We can only identify it by paying attention to the table.
But when you have 5-8 tables open and only one PartyPoker table, it gets really annoying.

It doesn't trouble me, in fact it can work to my advantage when unobservant players don't blind steal the sit outs but I can.

Why is it a problem for you?

Because I'm usually always playing at least 4-8 tables, on two or three different platforms.
And since this platform has the issues I mentioned,
it doesn't bother me when I'm just playing on PartyPoker, then I'm already aware of these flaws.

Is it a flaw though? Just because some sites have it on their MTT games but Party don't?

Of course, this information directly impacts gameplay.
It's no longer a problem because I can use PartyCaption on my PC to solve this problem.

I don't mind it at all. I think Partypoker's software is one of the best out there these days. I regularly play cash games on there & just started playing a bunch of MTT's on there this week & am loving it!

It doesn't really bother me much for cash games, because I play with fewer simultaneous screens.
And I only play on one platform when I play cash games.
And I also believe it's a habit...

How?
What's the worst thing that can happen?? We give a sitter a walk in the BB instead of raising to steal his blinds?
