Jesus H Christ - Party Poker
If you’re one of the largest poker sites on the internet and you decide that you’re going to run a promotion where you compensate people for losing with pocket aces, that’s cool. But shouldn’t some brighthead perhaps calculate how often this happens on a site that deals, what, millions of hands a day? And upon noticing that this phenomenon takes places every 5-10 seconds, perhaps ALLOWING USERS TO TURN THE DAMN MESSAGES OFF would be a nice thing to do.
It’s ironic that there’s an option for “Dealer Silent” that apparently does nothing to these messages. If you’re unsure of how much spam this generates, I provide for you a sample further down.
Now, to really drive it home, here’s the email conversation between me and Party Poker - which always enough to make me want to pull my hair out.

Dear Fredrik,
Thank you for contacting Customer Service.
If you wish to disable the Dealer Announcements, then please simply
click on “Dealer Summary (No Chat)”.
In the meantime, I apologize in advance for any inconvenience in this
matter.
Ah. Yes, thanks. I tried that. And if that had worked, I wouldn’t have bothered contacting them. Just to make sure I’m not crazy, I logged back in to Party and tried it again - and no. It definitely doesn’t work - at least not for me - to turn off the Dealer Chat.
My response to them was brief, but polite. I expect nothing to be done about this. And yet I keep playing at Party. I feel like that guy* with that quit-you quote from Brokeback Mountain (which I still haven’t seen).

Has anyone ever figured out Jesus’s middle name? I’m thinking Hector, or maybe Herman…
