Winning_TD vs MTT Schedule...Ding Ding Ding!! - Page 8 - Winning Poker Network -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

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.

You tell them 10 mins blinds they do it but they add 2 or 3 more levels. They are trying to fool yea and they wounder why nobody likes playing these tourneys. Play the 30$ 1500 G last night and it was letting peeps reg with like 6 bbs. They hit the G at last min. The worst tourney ever. I played like 3 hands and made 15 dollars.

Could just use the $25GTD on demand structure, pretty simple IMO. Probably too simple.

They do this with the Micro hypers too, They are 3 min but they added levels also, so it plays more like a normal turbo until higher blinds. Which I suppose works ok but it's just an illusion. It's meant to allow more late reg. more than likely.

TD,

The Sunday million blind structure needs to be tweaked. In the past I've stated my distaste for the slow and pointless blinds in the beginning of play but realize that with 5 hours of late reg for this event you're not going to change it. That said something needs to be done about the middle stages and late stages.

Specifically you need to get rid of these pointless blind levels in the middle

Level 27 1750/3500 after we were just at 1.5/3k
Level 29 2250/4500 after we were just at 2k/4k
Level 32 3500/7000 after we were just as 3k/6k

You are missing important levels near the end which should be added. Right now you jump from 7.5/15k to 10k/20k this is a huge jump. My suggestion is you change it to something like this

6k/12k
7k/14k
8.5k/17k
10k/20k
12k/24k
15k/30k

If we have to live with really bad levels in the beginning of play we shouldn't have to deal with missing important levels near the end when the money is on the line.

3-$400 gtd is very conservative as these would easily surpass 100 players.

HOLY HELL...when in the world did these get so many runners? Most you see now is 40...<30 or <20 95% of time if you are lucky.

The best example I can give is one I used to play back when I first came over to WPN from merge, the nightly $27.50 12.5K gtd. This tourney started at 8pm ET was sticking the gtd iirc, to the point that for a while it ran as 15K gtd on the weekends. Not coincidentally imo 8pm ET is a great start time for most of the working US, which is the large majority of your rec players. Even left coasters can get in this reasonably early on late reg after their drudge home on the 5. Then you guys made the decision to move it to 6pm ET... overnight you couldn't make the 15K gtd, 12.5K gtd, 12Kgtd, 10K gtd with an increased $30 buy in. Why? You just shut out half your market who works during the day and plays poker at night. 3 hour late reg doesn't make up for that as a lot of people don't actually like buying in with 10 bb's. It's going to be hard to make a $109 daily that gets a big turn out at 5:15 ET in this market. The structure isn't what's keeping people away imo... in many cases it's their day job doing so.

And this.

Guess in 3 months during "low season," the on demand $5 entrants gets cut by 67%!

On Another note, by the time this $3/300gtd finishes with 15 min levels, 3 hr late reg (that doubled the guarantee), i'm guessing if you don't top 2, you will not make $10/hr off this mtt. Here I am grinding at 1:30am 1 tabling with 2 tables left of the mtt. Started at 9pm rofl. If i had a desk job, I would shoot myself in the face even if I got first.

add an early warmup tourny on sundays - maybe a 109 at noon EST or 1 EST with a small guarantee? I also wouldn't mind seeing the 109 at 8 EST sped up a little bit - I like deep/slow structures but this doesn't end till 3 or 4 am - getting up at 7 the next day isn't too thrilling if I FT this thing and get say 5th place
