Interesting Party Support

[Robbie Robb]

So, I *FINALLY* got around to dropping some money into Party. My god, the play there is sooo bad. Sure, I've only got <2000 hands played so far and I know that variance will come along and slap me upside the head, but DAMN am I running good right now.

Anyway, this post isn't about that. It's about what happened AFTER I deposited money into Party. I'm sitting on the couch happily two-tabling .50/1 LHE. (Had actually just closed my 3rd table) when the phone rang. Nikki looks at the phone and says "604?" (area code). I shrug, "Meh. Answer it." She does, says "one moment" and tosses the phone to me. It's short and crashes to the floor. I scramble for it, being carefuly not to dump the notebook on the floor. Forturnately buddy didn't hang up. Turns out it was Party Poker support calling to confirm the account. They asked a bunch of identity questions (including method of deposit). They also asked if I knew someone by the name of Nicola ********.

Not sure why they called me. The support rep said that I would now be able to enjoy higher limits and faster withdrawls. Okay, sure. whatever. Thanks.

Just thought it odd that they would call me and confirm information after making my initial deposit. Unfortunately, I opened the account MONTHS ago so didn't get any first time deposit bonuses. ah well.
