Kind of impossible as getting the super straight means they dont give away any ipads. The rest are possible. Cant recall seeing a super straight.

Is anybody else playing Pokerfest starting on October 23? I'm planning on playing in the $640, $530, $215 and other events, but not yet sure about the $1,060 event or doing a BAP.

Note that the Pokerfest events with points buy-in are not worth playing. There are way too many players and the prize pool is not adjusted up, so it is not worth paying the points. For example, Event #2 had a whopping 3,617 players for 20 PartyPoints each but the pool was fixed at $2K, so the average equity was only 55¢. Each point is worth $0.15 to me (& other Palladium players), so it cost me $3 or overpaid more than five times just to play! Instead of spending a total of 185 points for the Points events, it is much more +EV to keep the points for a future poker bonus (e.g., $80, $450 or $3K bonus).

If your HUD did not work while playing Pokerfest, :arghh: please also contact PartyPoker and PT3/HEM support to fix the bug ASAP. The colon ':' in the name of all 47 Pokerfest events may be preventing hand importing. I won't be playing any more Pokerfest events until this is fixed.

Beware that PartyPoker still hasn't fixed the HUD problem with Pokerfest almost finished!
