I see several deep stack freezeouts with 15 minute levels. The $1,000 guarantee, $1,750, $2K, the $25K daily high roller, $3K, $500, $6.5K...there's even a couple of dailies with 20 minute levels.

Ok, thanks Madcatz. I probably need to adjust my lobby filter.

Uhh I'm pretty sure I had a timebank in $5 super turbos a few days ago. Now my $1 and $2 supers have timebank, but don't have one at $5 or $10 supers??

Btw 30 seconds timebank is too much for a super, it gives grinders excuse to play too many tables and slow it down for all. Make it 15, maybe 10 seconds

Can we please make the 18man reg speed sng's start with t1500 instead of t1000 please.

Everyday there is a $3 Deuce to Seven listed under Satellite that begins at 14:45 my time? What is this a Satellite to?

I have played in several of these and since they start with blinds @ $5-$10, I think 1000 chips are perfect. Just my opinion.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to be a satellite to anything.......perhaps it is just misplaced under the satellite tab.

Ill pass it along to the guys at Merge for review.

Where are the limit tournys, all this love for other forms of poker, but just a huge lack here, unless im totally missing them, would love something midday and early evening.

With all the plumeting guarantees lately, do u think you can make adjustments to starting stacks? Doesn't make much sense for 40-60 man tournaments to run for 5+ hours online. Perfect example is the $60 4k fo at 12(est) that has a 2 hr late reg. bring the starting stack down to 3k. Also wouldn't mind seeing the hr starting stack go from7.5 to 5k.

Just a few examples, but I believe if can adjust the stack sizes (and structure effectively) you'll see and increase in volume, especially at the matinee tournaments. Which are the games that have taken a beating in guarantees and player volume.

Makes sense, let me pass this along to Merge

The $2 180 man is unattractive. A. Buyin is too small 1st is lame, doesn't excite people and it keeps out a lot of people who play higher buyins. B. Compared to the reg speed 180 it's missing 4 or 5 blind levels and you removed the antes!!! Make it a 3.30rebuy so it suits all buyins levels and has a cool 1st place, fix the structure, and observe it's greatness

Please make us all happy and make yourself a little extra change

FWIW, the $2 180-man (and the $4) were one of the most popular games at the old site I played, with a game filling up every few minutes (a site with higher overall traffic). So, there are definitely people that like the format. I don't play them on Merge, though, since I can't get the volume in them that I would want to make them worthwhile.

We will pass the feedback along to Merge for them to review.

[The Apex]

You shouldn't be allowed to register after the rebuy/add-on period is completed in any tournament. Should be able to see during registration how many players are signed up for a tourney and how many are left without scrolling through the list in the tournament lobby.

[The Apex]

Guarantee should be the first thing listed for all tourneys in the Name column of the main lobby.
