    Has anybody else noted a difference in party poker's $300K guarantee.

    The lobby at Party Poker clearly states the final prize pool of $353,600, with 1768 entrants.

    I emailed the difference to support and get told that the actual prize pool was $287,618. I do not understand how this is possible when the entry is $200 (clearly an even amount).

    never played on party but do they have an entry fee or do they just take a % for rake?

    The point he is making is that the pool should have been 300K since it only added up to 270 something, but the prize pool ended up bing 350K something so Obviously someone can't count regardless.

    Nah I'm not mad at party - however the calculator for P5 points is giving wrong points for those who cashed. So...we get less points that what we should.

    I emailed support and they told me I was wrong!!

    honestly...who cares?

    if you got a few less points, whatever, let it go...it's an online poker rankings site...it's not that big of a deal
