I like that you guys have changed the GTDs from 10k to 12.5k and 15k to 20k during the weekends, and the other ones you moved up. If these don't overlay and do good do you plan to keep it that way TD?
05-08-2015 , 04:20 PM
Possibly. Have to see how it would go for a few days after the series ends.

I would consider playing again at your site if you could change the late registration to 2 hours and with a normal structure.

i dont see the warm up scheduled fror tomorrow ...is it happening tomorrow?

Definitely love the idea of 2 hrs late reggy and bumping gtds. However turbos need some love. Implement some during sunday peak times, gtd doesn't even have to be that big but make it a lower buyin and see how it goes. Even if it's a 500$ gtd 10$ turbo people will include it in their grind because playing <6 tables for most people is super boring. Also for people complaining that tourneys should run later: While I can understand that it needs to be USA adjusted but it has to be somewhat EUR friendly as well. For example the 25k 15$? that runs on sunday it ends 8-9 AM euro time monday. If i were to go to work I simply couldn't play it.. And its a great tourney, deserves more love.

Finally here's a major suggestion:

Introduce signature daily MTTs, make them different color and advertise the **** out of them. What I mean by that is PS has Bigs/Hots, Tilt has dinasaurs, 888 has Monsoons and tornados and stuff. Seems like gimmick names work so make a signature mtts like Big 10 but more catchy name and make them worth playing. Advertise and gradually bump/lower gtds.

Don't mean to be overly simply here, but Saturday's tourney schedule is awful, especially today. Any other day of the week was better, and Saturdays in general typically have low guarantees, and nothing exciting to play. The schedule to me is nice altogether, but Saturday ends up being a day off from tournaments from me which seems pretty weird...

TD,

Serious question what have you been up to lately? No kick off, no 6 max, no turbos, no payout structure changes. What's your day like at work?

Bong hits in the morning, Dubbie after breakfast, 2 bowls after lunch, and some mushrooms after work.

Bunch of people around here who think they know how to do WTD's job. pretty sure a majority don't have a clue how to run a tourney schedule and make money.
05-18-2015 , 08:05 PM
You're pretty sure? Don't be... The bar isn't set very high.

The schedule isn't very appealing, the payouts are flatter then pancakes, no turbos, no 6 max, nothing new but the same old week after week.It's a shame because with Merge struggling to pay players they can really take market share.
05-20-2015 , 02:15 AM
Im not disagreeing with that. But at the same time, it's easy for you to say what should be done when you don't have to answer to bosses saying it's not possible.
05-20-2015 , 04:03 AM
Late to the thread, but I've read all the post and it seems like the majority of players here would like to have FASTER tournaments. Eli on the first page had a great point, why not just make tourney structures similar to the $1-$10 On Demand turbos? IDK, Maybe a 2000 start stack with 5min Blind Levels, KEEP the 2hr late reg/rebuy to fill up the games, Have guarantees with 1% buy ins for example $400 GTD.-$4.40 $800 GTD.-$8.80 ect. and burst the money bubble @ 18% sliding scale payout from 1st cash to first place with a lions share of 20%ish going to 1st. As far as the larger tourneys, I guess have similar speed to the ones I've just described. It's tough to play a tourney for 9-13hrs and especially frustrating if they're a lower buy in and almost impossible if you have a job. If the larger tourneys could get cut down to say 3-5hrs I think A LOT more players would play them, on a work schedule and lots of them on a free day. On a free day, you could fill your tourney roster with great paced tourneys all day. On a work day you could either play a nice sized buy in before you punch in, or cool down from work with a good tourney and be done in time for dinner. More games for players and more r@ke for the site. WPN is a great Network with potential to be way better aside from human problems that arise from time to time. They actually DO listen to us, provide a good working product for us U.S. players and p@ys out at about an A- with the minus being only for small issues that arise from time to time but personally I've been A+ to date. I hope WPN continues to grow and Welcome any and all feedback from the community and WTD about MTT's.

Ok just to give a quick update. For the next week or so i will not be online all the time.

I have changed the $25,000 @ 2pm to a $20+2 buy in because the overlays are constant.

I have added (to start with) a megastack turbo @4pm - $100+9 $10,000 GTD. There will also be sats to this. I hope to achieve 15 - 20 seats.

In terms of 6 max tournaments, you just have to look at results of current 6 max to see they are just not as popular as you think. When a 4k GTD 6 max on a sunday overlays every week it starts to tell you something. They are just not as popular with drivers.

The steeper payout we ran into some complications which we are rectifying, i hope i can implement this within in the next 2 weeks.

Also very soon i will look to changing and adding a few things again. Freshen things up a little.
05-20-2015 , 02:27 PM
Looking forward to the steeper payouts. Will likely play the 109 today if it's on the schedule already because I don't have much else to do today.
05-20-2015 , 03:02 PM
need more tournies through the day 11$ 2500's..... 22 4k's ..... some bigger guarnatees on the smaller rebuys.... and more nightlys.... some 20$ 5k's etc.... something ur site >bovada but i gotta play there most of the day b/c of lack of schedule...
05-20-2015 , 06:53 PM
I dont get all the turbo love - you guys like single digit ROIs and higher variance? Maybe add 1 turbo for the day but dont go crazy WPN - some of us want to play poker and make money
05-22-2015 , 08:34 PM
In general we all agree that a.c.r. is a good site..

It's just the 180 minute structure is toooo much..
05-24-2015 , 11:25 AM
I remember hearing talk of a sunday warmup - why not have a 109 warmup wtih a small guarentee? Even if it was something like 5k and ran at 2 est Id be happy and im sure it would have no problem filling

Thanks much

come on new online super High roller series in june? for everyone to practice for wsop? come on
05-25-2015 , 07:03 PM
The megastack $109 turbo did really well imo considering it was the first time running and holiday weekend pushing traffic down. This needs to be a daily event not just Sundays.
05-25-2015 , 07:07 PM
And my suggestion would be to scrap the 8k or 5k and put this instead. Preferably the 8k. Leave the gurantee at 10k and it will crush every night.
05-27-2015 , 12:47 AM
I don't play the higher stake, I would play the lower ones a lot more if they didn't last the WHOLE day. The structure is crazy, blinds go up from 200 to 250, and then by 100, and then a late registration for hours. I know why they do it, I'm not suggesting all of them, variety is best, but the only one's I know of for lower is the .50 mega stacks. All those tourney's are just hyper's.

My ideal tourney would be $1-$3(maybe even $5) 6-max turbo of any game during the day. It seems a lot of good 6-max start late at night which I can't play that late. I would think I'm not the only one.

I know GTD brings more buy-ins but I see the no GTD do ok if they are the right time/structure.

Also I Don't see the $2 PLO/8 NO GTD Brown color tourney, I play that one almost everyday.

I don't understand how Turbo's are going to kill your ROI. Sure it would lower it slightly, but you also get more volume. Does anyone like being in the middle blinds 300-600 or so with a huge stack. Pretty boring middle blinds IMO.

The turbo structures on this network are actually really good. I think they should probably put a few good turbos starting after 10pm (est) and have a good turbo slate. I think a lot of people are turned off by the fact that there are only a couple low gtd turbos and the non turbos are low GTD and brutally long structures.

I would add a few turbos late night and make the big ten tourneys 10-12 minute blinds. I think more players would play if that were the case. I imagine most people who have free time around then play on the other networks since they have better offerings.
