This has probably been complained about for centuries.....

The 888 software would be so much smoother if the auto-timebank feature actually worked preflop!!! It is a huge annoyance to have to click the time-bank manually and in a panic have to click the button just to save your hand..... This severely affects many multi-tablers or people you play on more than one site at the same time. It is time to get up to speed with the rest of the other top poker sites.

The change would benefit the whole 888 poker community, and I'm sure a ton of people can back me on this. It might even bring in more customers. It might bring in more regulars that weren't playing as much volume due to this time-bank issue.

I must say that apart from this issue, 888 is a great poker site.

Make it 6 Players instead of 10 Players. I would like to play it every day. But not from the Beginning, Blinds 10/20 without Ante and 5k stack is boring.

what happend to dealing optionn?is it off?

Thanks! This is planned to happen in one of the next software updates (I don't like to commit to dates as its not in my hands, but should be within the next 2 months). It will work automatically when you have chips invested in the pot (including blinds & antes).

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Done.

Should be working as usual. In what tournament were you missing it?

surely having an 8-8-8 MTT is a marketing wet dream in any case

Thanks for working on the time bank issue but why would it only "work in the industry standard way" when you have chips in the pot; should it not work whenever otherwise you will still miss out on hands that you would have played if you were not the blinds?

The best way to do it is optional in a settings with three choices.

1. Auto-activate timebank always
2. Auto-activate timebank when chips invested in a pot
3. Activate timebank manually

Yes. Industry standard way is when you have invested chips in a pot. The true is that a vast majority of a tournaments on other sites starts with antes in a first level now. So your timebank is actually activated always.

888 still have some starting levels without antes and players will be still sitting out in these starting levels.

When you improving some features in a software, your goal should be ahead of your competition. Now you will spend some time on improving your software and you still will be slightly behind when you finish it.

I feel like some mid main events such as Moonson, Swordfish, Wednesday Challenge and Thursday Challenge runs reaaaaally fast. 10min big blinds is just way too fast. I suggest changing it to 12min or 15min in all of them. Friday Challenge has a 15min big blind, why is that?

+1, They're not in my schedule anymore due to turbo structure

+1 the daily ones (Moonsoon, crocodile etc) structures suck from the beginning. You end up being shortstack after 1 hour which is not a great playing experience for anyone. Should either add some levels early on so or change to 12/15min levels.

+1

The site is basically dead around 9pm UK which is still really early. add a few flagship tourneys to encourage people to continue loading.

Why not improve your short stack play? I like this format because I still work full-time and I cannot play until 2-3am on a Tues, Wed, Thur etc. Only exception would be Sundays

I know the faster play/variance plays havoc on a professional's ROI. But from 888's perspective, why change what is working. These games never (or very rarely) have an overlay.

Some of these suggestions in this thread are really good, but others are just personal preference. I really think you have to look at your suggestions from all angles and make your argument from that point.

Cheers and gl in the Croc turbo!

yeah like with 12/15 min or early levels that would be so entertaining/enjoyable, of course u get shortstack if u just stay nit.

i think those are fine structures as they are, faster at the start more play towards the end

Guys chill it was just a suggestion, I don't need to work at my shortstack game thats not the point lol.

I'm talking about adding ~2 levels from the beginning, which wont affect the lenght of the tournament at all, it will just give a feeling of more room to play from the beginning and being able to latereg 30 minutes longer (with a playable stack).

The structure deep in 888 tourneys are really good though.

I'm cucumber chill...

Your suggestion was posted. But others don't have to agree.

Why would I agree to extend late reg or add additional levels to navigate, so a few extra regs can join late? A rec is less likely to flick it in with 15bb SS after the game has been running for 1hr.

Set your alarm clock and reg on time, don't knit sweaters for 6 levels, or skip. Those are my suggestions.

Some great arguments there, thanks for taking your time.

It doesn't matter if you set your alarms, whenever you start your session, there is always a tourney that has started 1 hour before, and unless you're a degen who dont care about money/swings, you can't play it.

There is enough turbos in the schedule if that's what you prefer.

+1 DBerglin, either
1) make all those tourneys either 15min lvl
2) add two more blind levels like 40/80 , 60/120 , optimally antes from the 1st lvl
Not like it would change much of the tourney length and just makes these tourneys more attractive, there are so many turbos on the sched anyway

Increasing the level time by 50% wouldn't increase tourney length much

I do agree the 888 structure play meh in the first two hours which is basically 85% of the average players experience in every mtt, but great when deep which has many adverse effects on the composition of the field and bottom line of all parties involved. Guaranteed that recs prefer the party poker way of structuring mtts

-1 on Friday Challenge structure on daily major tournaments. It would be too much to play until 4am, 5am or 6am cet on daily basis. 12 minute levels to Monsoon, Swordfish and Wednesday Challenge might be a good compromise. In fact, it has been suggested but never implemented.

Please simplify and give a little more with your VIP system. I seem to get like only 10% back and have to deal with so many rubbish free rolls that would actually cost me and 888 money if i were to play them because then i would not pay rake playing higher games. And these login spins are so annoying; at least make them have more tangle benefits which you win at lower intervals so instead of wining a free roll worth 50c make it have $2, $5 or $10 in tournament dollars or something

What is happening at poker stars should show you that both Regs and Recreational players want a good bonus/VIP structure with that along with your great games you could really grow your business
