Thank you for your email.

We can confirm we have recently changed our Happy Hour schedule and we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

At the moment we have no announcements regarding the possibility of bringing back Happy Hour tables between 12 and 14 ET, but rest assured your voice has been heard.

anyone had difficulty setting up additional authentication? the instructions say I have to enter serial number and two 1-time passwords, in client it just asks for 1 single password and fails. I've emailed support but have no idea what their response time is like these days..

Since NL200 rush doesn't run all the time and when it runs pool is small, I will compare NL100 rush with NL200 zoom. It's defenetly different game from my experience... Althought NL200 zoom is harder (not so much donation and random fish like on FTP), I've seen some strange nonbalanced playes by regs on zoom that makes no sense but also they are kinda nitty / more caution... doesn't make much sense but that's my experience.
Would like to hear others...

Here's a (mostly academic for now) question:

What would everyone think about having the min buyin at all ring game tables be the same as the max buyin? Meaning everyone at a standard stack would have to buy in for exactly X big blinds, and everyone at a Shallow stack table would have to buy in for exactly Y big blinds (probably 20-40% of X).

This would do away with the need for any kind of solution similar to the buy-in obligations, as well as simplifying the process of buying into a table.

If this were to happen, what do we think the correct number of big blinds would be for X at a standard stack table? What should Y be for Shallow tables?

Certainly I expect "100" to be a common answer for X here, since that's what everyone is used to being the max buyin, but I'd like to explore other possibilities as well. So if you pick 100 as your answer, it'd be great if you could also provide a "second best" answer that you think could also work.

(Deep tables may or may not stick around if these changes happen, but chances are if they stuck around we'd just make the buyin for those be 200 big blinds.)

I think having one fixed buy in is too restrictive. My proposal would be 2 types of table -

shallow - fixed 20bb
normal - option to buy in for 100bb, 150bb and 200bb

shallow tables need to be fixed buy in to avoid mathematical edge for those who buy in shortest. No poker game should ever be constructed to have a fundamental mathematical advantage for a given stack size.

having three options or even just two options (100bb and 200bb) for normal tables allows those who want to buy in deeper to do so but because the min buy in is 100bb there is no/exceptionally tiny fundamental mathematical advantage to buying in for 100bb vs a bunch of 200bb players.

There is a reason people like 100bb poker and it's not at all just because they are used to it, it is basically the minimum buy in where by 'real' poker can be played if stacks get smaller 4bet and 5 bet bluffing vanish, overbet shoving river disappears basically all the fun cool stuff gets eroded as stacks get smaller. The actual min buy in where real poker can be played is probably about 80ish bb's but since that is close to 100bb anyway and 100bb is a nice round number it seems prudent to stick with what everyone knows and use 100bb as default.

I agree. But it would be nice to make something like on normal tables... when someone with X bbs gets some more bbs, system should prevent him from joining again with X bbs,
For example, if someone is sitting with 50$ on NL100 and he wins 20$, he can't rejoin with 50$ again for the next X minutes but needs to keep playing with 70$.

EDIT:

blah now I see it's question for all ring tables... This what I suggest is for rush.

Got no stats after FTP update today with PT4.
Is there a known workaround or do I just have to wait für the PT update?

100 bb BI's is perfect imo but the idea proposed below isn't terrible. I really like this idea as to eliminate the ratholing 40bb stackers. I feel recreational players way prefer having the stacks be bigger as opposed to all these quasi short stacks. I will say that the mid stacks aren't nearly as big a problem/infesation at 100NL Rush as they are on most other sites.

Is it just me, or have the 200NL Rush games been declining over the last few weeks?
04-18-2014 , 12:29 AM

rush 400 runs more time than rush 200. Rush 200 only runs in peak times with 30~50 entries

Does anyone know chigga1? Does he post here?

Getting a little suspicious these past couple of months. Seems to play 24/7... All hours of the day, don't think I've ever seen this player take a day off. He is absolutely crushing the Rush Low leaderboard again.

Props to you if you are just one person, but I'm a little skeptical...

ahahah this is true. I'm playing a lot this month, but he is too far from me.

But I understand him crushing now, he has 100% RB. I don't know him too, could be more than 1 person.
