We have changed all major tournaments to the new structure. There are some non-majors that we have not yet tended to since we are busy with higher priorities, and we do not see this as urgent.

We are always looking to add more variety and new tournaments such as the new Micro Series, Mini Mega Deep, early and deepstack majors, and more. We are always open to specific suggestions. Regarding the 10-10-10, it is a popular tournament and we do not see a need to change it.

We may consider changes in the SNG lobby in the future.

Unfortunately it seems like the new Omaha tournament did not have demand as it was cancelled 4 days in a row for not having minimum players to start. We have been adding Omaha tournaments that are working well and will look into it again if we have a good idea in the future.

Ok, where do i begin. The vast majority of tournaments offered on 888 are 9 handed nl holdem, with many of these as turbo tournaments. Yes you have added some "majors" and this is fine but these are mostly Sunday tournaments, i am more concerned with the daily tournament schedule.

As i have said previously, why not add an "888" 8 max tournament at a peak time schedule with a good gtd? This is my biggest issue, there should be more tournaments such as 8 max, 6 max and 4 max, each with different buy ins and gtd's. Don't you see that there are too many "turbo deep" tournaments? These $5 turbo tournaments do not even perform all that well, it feels like they are just scattered around to fill some gaps. Why not have less tournaments scattered around but replace them with different formats and better gtd's?

Looking at the summer series events for example, each event almost has its own format to it, this keeps things interesting and is more enjoyable to play. Tonight for example, you have a $11 knockout tournament at a peak time with a decent gtd, why can't you implement these types of tournaments into the daily schedule? Event #12, the 1r1a with 2k gtd would be a great tournament to play daily. These are just examples of more variety.

Looking at the current daily schedule at the peak time, there are just far too many turbo's. The only decent 6 max tournament on offer is a $55 rebuy, while this is fine, what about lower stakes players? what about a $5 6 max rebuy at peak time?

It's just so frustrating to see a summer series do fantastic then go back to the boring daily schedule with nothing to play.

And please tidy up your satellite tournaments tab, i see different kinds of satellites all over the place and its very messy.

You mentioned that you are always open to suggestion, but yet i never see much of a change? I have a lot more to say but these suggestions are just a start.

Hopefully my idea's can at least be listened too, Thanks.

There are no reg speed mtts during 02:15 -04:15 gmt, could you please consider adding a couple in there.

There is the $12 catfish at 02:00 but its a shame only turbos after that (big16 on stars starts at 03:00 gmt) so people will still play reg speeds then 3-12 price point (8max?) seems ideal

even a blue mtt would work imo

i'm having problems with 888 conection while playing normally at party and stars. Just cant connect and i have 2 tabbles there....

I posted this idea in another section of this forum and got positive responses.
Here is a new MTT-format idea for you 888!
________________

When it comes to regular knockout tournaments, it always feels like to much of the money "disappears".

The knockouts at the end of the tournament become pretty much insignificant.

So I got this new cool idea!

Instead of the normal knockout that starts immediately, the tournament proceed as a normal tournament UNTIL we reach the money. And when the money is reached, that is where it becomes a knockout tournament.

It would work like this:

100 players register for 100 + 9.

15 gets paid.

Half of the prizepool is paid out as a normal tournament. And the other half is divided equally as bounty to the players who ITM.

In this case, when we are in the money, everybody would get $333 on their bounty. Because half of the prizepool ($5000 is divided among the 15 players who is ITM).

You could experimenting by paying more players or something.


What do you think? Would me much more fun right?

Has there been a mistake on the summer series leaderboard? It seems the calculations for the $12 half-marathon were done incorrectly and people have far too many points (the winner of that tournament has ~1300 points, and the top 9 finishes make up 9 of the top 10 on the leaderboard). Either there has been a calculation error, or i'm missing something here

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I am looking into it.

Yes it may very well be a popular tournament as it is but it would be MORE popular if you made it an 8max event along with 8 blind blinds, 8... going with your brand name

Yep never ever playing 10handed mtt

This problem has been fixed and the leaderboard is now back up with the correct results. Prizes will be awarded to the winners within the next few days.

888 rep, still no feedback on my comments that i started over a month ago and again just recently?

Your only response to me was basically "We are always open to specific suggestions"

What about everything that i said regarding the daily mtt schedule and new formats etc? Are you going to respond to me at all on these issues?

I know ,I asked them too about changing some tournament structures bcuz some are not good and they don t really respond to me either.their guarantees at some low buy in tournaments got low asf and im not talking about summer

888 down ?

I'm sure this has already been covered but does anyone know why the $4+R&A event was removed from the lineup?

Late August is here. When is the release date of the software upgrade for the time-bank activation issue?

just get 888 caption....

yeah, let people who know how to setup poker fix your 888 software because 888 ain't not gonna do it (in time). Best 25$ ever spent.

You need to review your low stakes (buy-ins up to $12) MTT schedule during peak hours. You have too many turbo MTTs and too few regspeed/deepstack MTTs from 6 PM CET until 8 PM CET. $12 Turbo Deep at 7.30 PM CET and $12 Super Turbo Catfish at 8 PM CET with 1k and $800 GTDs are on serious decline and would have done much better if they were moved to other time slots and/or replaced with regspeed/deepstack MTTs. They also suffer from the competition from $5 7k GTD R&A turbo tournament at 8 PM CET. Therefore I would suggest:
1.) To move ST Catfish to 11 PM CET (an hour after Turbo Catfish). I personally never register for ST Catfish because it is difficult to play FT for small amount of money when I have other 10-12 tables running. ST Catfish would do much better later in the session.
2.) $12 Turbo Deep could be replaced with flagship daily $12 tournament at 8PM CET. Call it The Dozen and run it from Monday to Saturday with smaller GTD than Mega Dozen (3k-5k, for instance). You could make re-entry option to ensure it beats GTD.
3.) To add more levels to Mega Dozen (it has been suggested here a number of times by various users, including myself). Jump from 1250/2500/250 to 1750/3500/350 and 2500/5000/500 is too quick for tournament with 12 minute levels. Starting from third hour Mega Dozen feels like turbo tournament with a lot of short stacks, all-ins almost every hand etc.; chip leader on FT have 25bb quite often. Since Mega Dozen finishes relatively early for your Sunday majors (usually 3.30 AM CET) you afford to give players a bit more room for play. For instance, micros, such as, $3 Mega Micro and $ 1 Goldfish lasts longer...

888 poker should make theyre own HUD like jivaro in stars that would be great ! and also add the search for player button to know if any one is multitabling or not would be nice too

Hey 888 rep, august is almost over. Can we get some update on the auto timebank issue and longer breaks, also new bet slider? Its getting kinda annoying running from the bathroom and seeing your QQ-AA being sent to muck in last second...

Need more tournaments non-turbos around 6pm-8pm starting AEST. Maybe make one of the 30$ 6max at 6pm? Im sure many people would rather two table than 1 table the typhoon on 888. More rake for you guys too

are the 1$ hyper sats to the 5$ fish series gone for good?

wow thanks for listening to your players. first the micro/low series, now making the 10-10-10 into a 8-8-8 format, love it.
