I know bro, it can totally be used to ones advantage if they are aware of it. Still, I don't think its the right way to play poker....perhaps I'm in the minority on this one.

I am absolutely furious with the switching of tables in multi-table tournaments. Three times in both a tournament last night and a separate one this morning I was moved from the button or cutoff (after JUST posting my blinds) to under the gun on a new table.

With a short stack/medium stack in a tourney that's 2-3 hrs in and approaching the bubble, getting sent to UTG and re-posting, seeing 62os and watching everyone shove in front of you is the most tilting thing in the world. It RUINS a tournament if you're a short stack and if you're a medium stack you'll lose significant ground.

The thing is, it's such an EASY problem to fix. It is UNBELIEVABLE that the software can't just take someone who is UTG on Table 6 and move them to the exact same position on Table 8 when Table 8 needs another player (hypothetically). Why take a random player? It's incorrect. Other players are given an advantage in that I have to post blinds for 6 out of 10 hands (since i get switched twice) and miss out on almost 2 WHOLE orbits. In both tourneys I had ~13 BBs before this and then after it I'm in crisis mode. It's a problem I cannot foresee and I miss out on up to 16 FREE hands. This can be the difference in surviving a tournament or having to shove ATC late position just because I have 7 BBs and no other choice.

This would NEVER happen in a live tournament and PS and FTP's software would always put you in the same position (give or take a spot) at the new table, making my feelings about the table switch indifferent (of course, not taking into account playing against new opponents). Such a joke.

Of course, there is nothing that can be done anymore but "we'll look into it in the future" is not good enough for me. This, along with 25/50 starting blinds in rebuy tournaments (the only tournaments with guarantees worth playing) is convincing me to look elsewhere.

Update: this should go without saying for most, but when you get moved from being button on one table to UTG on another you basically just get to play 6 out of the next 8 hands in the worst position possible. So not only do I overpost, but I get to be out of position all the time and don't get to play mid or late position in the orbit. unbelievably tilting since as a short stack im looking to raise/shove and when there's always 7 people left to act it makes the world a lot more impossible.

Yep. Have had that happen several times. Obviously it's "fair" because it can happen to anyone at any time, but should still not exist.

please take out H4H once we are ITM of the 100K. structure in this is bad enough (please fix) and having to pause the tournament for $20 pay jumps sucks. I can see once you get down to 18, but until then just let us play.

Please run a sit and go promo to get some sit n gos players on the site

yeah they need to get them 18 player sit and go's running

i really like the rebuys starting out at 25-50... but i wanna see more 6max mtts

all of this is gold

I added a 30/60, 40/80, and 250/500/50 level across the board. I doubled the starting stacks/rebuys for the turbo rebuys. As always appreciate feedback.

I also added the new recommended morning tournaments (albeit with lower guarantees). I will keep an eye on those the next few weeks and if they're doing well I'll be happy to raise the guarantees.

Thanks

Is it possible to get the HO (Pot Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha) tournaments back. Overall, Pot Limit tournaments seem to be lacking. Not that they were so frequent on merge, but a couple of the daily scheduled tournaments were great. I don’t see them any more at the microstakes $1-$11 buy-ins as frequently.

What about these Rizen? Also I remember on Merge you had a $5 superstack 2k gtd on Sundays. How about a $5 deepstack 1k gtd on Sundays?

Thanks.

+10 to SNG promo. I was like OMGOMGOMG when a 45man actually kicked off. More traffic please.

tyty. hopefully this will help the 100K as it was playing incredibly shallow approaching and itm. also please give the $11 10K 3K starting stacks, along with every other guaranteed freezeout!

any plans for a special Saturday tournament during the day? i think a $55 15K anywhere from 1-3 PM would rock.

As a player everyone is probably thinking more at his own preferences , style , schedule, etc so I do realize that to keep up everybody pleased could be a complicated thing. I was just giving a suggestion to make some changes sooner and maybe after some feedback do the needed, more complicated, tweaks. Anyways with the latest changes I think you're going in the right direction and the fact that you're willing to listen to player opinions is a very big plus. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

While Lock seems to be growing as a whole, SNG traffic appears to be declining to me.

Will there be any kind of SNG promo? Will the SNG leaderboard return?

I hope so. I've started mixing SNG formats to try to get enough tables going.

Your flagship Sunday tourney doesn't even have late registration.

Words cannot explain how epic fail that is.

All tournaments have late registration. There were def some errors yesterday and perhaps that's what you were seeing, but there is def late reg on flagship Sunday tournaments.

looks like the sight is still suffering today. took me forever to get on the site now that im connected and logged in i see nothing in the main section for MTTS just blank slates...
sigh

Yea, I'm pretty sure I was trying to reg when it was paused.

i would like to see more sats for the 100k and 65k gur, like double shootouts or even just small rebuy adds ons , or single table sats anything more than what they have now would be great

Suggesting more NLH regular tournaments and deepstacks and 6max for lower buy-in's opposed to turbo and R/A. For the recreational players looking to play $2.20's - $5.50's. Lobby is cluttered with to many R/A's and turbos in that buy-in range imho.

Sit & Go step tournaments to the Sunday events would be nice.

6 max plo8 tourneys

A lot of good comments in here... I would love to see some more regular nlh gtds between $2.20 and 5.50$. Even more non gtds would be ok being that the multi-table sngs rarely take off.

+1 to sng promotions. I would also like to request higher buyin 10man turbo sngs with 6 minute blinds. The only buyin with this format are the 4.60+.40 sngs and these seem to be the most popular of the sngs between $2 and $10. Something around $11 would be nice in this format.
