HU players won't be forgotten about. There's going to be different focuses each month when it comes to promotions going forward. Things are in the works for HU players.

Thanks for the note.

I think Wednesday would have been a better choice of day for the double points. RPM poker has been doing double points on Monday/Tuesday and Lock Poker on Thursday/Friday. So by picking Wednesday you could have easily gotten players who have several skins to be playing Carbon on Wednesday for huge amounts of Carbon traffic.

The opt-in is in place to help best reward our players that will be pushing these games and these promotions. It's a tool to help focus the value and rewards on you guys who will be really driving play on the site.

Exactly. I think everyone is going to be able to take advantage of it, but you're right about Ether players. Huge potential value for them while this is running.

Ummm could you state how being Either is getting you to almost rake free, I'm seeing it at about 59% RB not almost 100%. But I could be missing something.

Could we consider shortening the DoN blind levels to 5 minutes? They drag on compared other sites unnecessarily considering the blind structure isn't very severe. I think this would pump up some volume as well and give some alternative to supers for people wanting to get in a lot of games with supers being so reg infested. Pretty much all other SNGs don't get much action.

After 14 minutes of play the blinds are already at 100 with an ante. So although it isn't described as a turbo, it is clearly a turbo. shortening the blinds to 5 minutes would turn the game into roulette for many players. If they wanted to add a couple of blind levels to the current game and make a separate super turbo that would be fine; but shortening the current structure to 5 minutes would just put too much gamble in it for many of us.

Appreciate the input from both. This is essentially the dynamic that we try and balance. Both make fair points here, and we do what we can to find a happy medium. Going forward, hopefully the addition of more options just helps to make everyone happy.

This is extremely annoying. I have been messing around with writing my own AHK scripts which work decent, but this should be incorporated into your client by default.

Thanks for bringing this up. This is something that will be looked at going forward.

Better filters for sngs.

Take the streaker bonus out of the lb equation. Still have the separate streaker top 5, but have the top 25 lb be just from sng points.

If you could add a feature where it automatically closes a table after you bust or the game ends, thatd be awesome. Right now they stay around for like 10 minutes after. That makes the client use a ton more resources that it would otherwise and slows your comp down if youre multitabling sngs.

All valuable stuff here. Thanks for the input. These are things that will be looked at.

This is a fair point, and something that was looked at. We weighed lots of different factors and thought that Tuesday had the best potential for us.

I didn't mean to imply that Ether players would be rakefree during the double points hours, just to agree with the quoted poster that there's huge potential for value and extra cash to be earned through the points exchange system.

Chris,
I just recently put money on carbon. Can Washington State players cashout with the check option?
Thanks.

Rusemandingo · 09-23-2011, 04:06 PM

Chris is the double points the entire "New and exciting promos" or is there more?

Dont get me wrong, im happy just to have this, just curious.

Glad to hear you're up and running with us. Yes, check withdrawals are an option for Wash state players.

Chris,

I think the site and network needs a nightly flagship tournament with a decent buyin, not to small or big. How about creating a nightly tournament like a $33 10-15K Guaranteed? If not a nightly, then def a weekly one on say like a Wednesday evening, which used to be the 2nd biggest day of the week after Sunday.

Also, how about adding some Guaranteed bounty tournaments. The network runs alot but I've yet to see one with a Guarantee. A daily 10r would be nice too!
