Would 180-man SnGs be too much to ask?

*cough* Multi currency balances *cough*

Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the jackpot tables and make 25% of rake on all tables go to one massive jackpot? This would effectively lower the rake to the industry average ($4 x (100% - 25%) = $3) and, with the current player pool, create jackpot sizes like nowhere else so lots of fish would be attracted to play at 888.

could be a great idea as the fish love a badbeat jackpot

Nothing is too much to ask. It's been passed along.

Haven't heard of any intentions on this yet.

It's a great idea.

This is a great idea. Whilst i like the site, i don't play there as i have a hard time justifying paying the ridiculous rake. This would bring the fish out in droves and even i'd have to come back. Knowing that the higher than industry standard rake i am paying could net me a massive payday would be the cherry on top.

hey any news on the tournament tokens so the southern hemi people can get rewards without having to wake up at crazy hours?

bennymacca · 08-10-2011, 09:58 PM

I have been playing some HUSNG lately.

at the $20 level, the standard length SNGs are 20+1, but the turbo's are 20+1.5. Why is that?

Randizzle · 08-10-2011, 10:05 PM

Is 888poker basically Pacific Poker? I played on Pacific Poker before 2006. I'm having trouble remembering my username/password though. Is there anyway for me to find my username?

bennymacca · 08-10-2011, 11:48 PM

yeah 888 is just pacific rebranded, the names are interchangable

spaghetti · 08-11-2011, 04:05 AM

I just moved back from another skin to 888, please tell me I can play on version 5.8 there and you have a link to it? The new software tilts the hell out of me arghhhhh

Hey 888 rep,

A few questions & suggestions for you.

1. Could you please post the effective rakeback you get at 888 through the current "loyalty program" for the different levels. Could you please post this in a manner people like me, microdonks, will understand easily. For example, if you rake $400 you'll get $60 back or whatever.
Also, the rake is quite high so a better than average reward program is expected.

2. The clearance rate of your bonuses is way too low IMO.

3. I'm timing out a lot when I play a few tourneys at the same time, could you change the way you alert the player when you have like 5 seconds left or something. The way it is at the moment I just don't notice unless I'm really keeping an eye on that table.

4. The last hand replayer feature is a great addition but it feels awkward comparing it with Full Tilt / Stars. I think you should improve its functionality.

5. I think you could add more Omaha 8 tourneys, gamblers love that game and you have a few of those among your customers. Also, any plans to add mixed games ?

6. I sent an e-mail to your support team a few days ago asking for a few hands I was missing and am still waiting. It seems that many people complain about your support team. If you want to take your company to the next level you should improve this area.

I think you have improved the overall look and feel of your site a lot in the last couple of years but it's a shame you don't push the improvement further in order to get the most of the ex Full Tilt players ( like me ).
