Not sure what you mean

We have received much feedback regarding break length and are not ignoring it. Hope to have good news in this regard soon.

Please change all tournaments to the same structures/antes from the start as you have with some of the "flagship" tournaments.

I would also like to see more variety in the tournaments that are offered, i see too many 9 handed no limit turbo mtts. Why not have more of a mix of 6 max, 8 max etc?

As suggested before, an 8-8-8 mtt to replace the 10-10-10? 10 handed no limit is horrendous to play, even though i appreciate new games/ideas.

Why not have more rebuy tournaments? maybe a 6 max or 8 max rebuy with bigger starting stacks / add on's etc allowing for more play?

There is just not enough variety of games offered in my opinion. Hopefully more games will be offered in the future.

The sit n go lobby needs a makeover, there are too many types of games at different buy in levels. Why not have mtt/sng's such as 12, 16 or 18 player tournaments. I will never enjoy playing a 60 player super turbo sng.

The 36 player sng's seem popular and this is a good thing, i'm sure other types of games as i mentioned would also prove a success.

Thanks.

9 max is best, but surely there can be more of a mix. And more 9-max rebuys (turbos are okay imo. as you can get more chips if you lose) with big add-on to give it more depth would be great during European primetime and later in the evening.

5r 8k turbo is a really good tornament and a sucess, give us a 10r turbo w good gtd.

Basically i would like to click on a tournament in the lobby the click register and be entered; rather than having the dialog box saying ...$11 turbo... will be taken from your account or whatever it says

Please listen to this man Mr. 888 Rep. Many of us have been complaining forever about popups. Please give us the option to permanently disable ALL popups or at least to be able to select "Never see this again." on each individual popup.

This is a major annoyance for people who multi table and it makes your site look unprofessional.

Hello Friends,
Between the 14.8 - 21.8 we plan to run our first Micro Tournament Series. It will be branded with a special theme we are still working on, but in the meantime, we want to show you the draft and see if you have feedback. This series will also include a leaderboard promotion.



Thanks!

888 Rep, could you please provide feedback on my recent comments?

Regarding this micro series, i think its a good idea. I'm just not sure why you don't run more of these. I find series like this are always a big success, yet sites only run them a few times a year?

Looking at the tournaments at first glance, again i think there are too many 9 handed no limit tournaments, maybe change one of the bigger freezout's to an 8 max tournament? Event #2 could easily be an 8 max tournament. Increase the buy in and guarantee of the 4 max event and maybe add rebuys to it?

Another issue i have, why don't you add tournaments like these to the daily schedule? These tournaments are always a success yet you choose to have 9 handed turbo's all over the daily schedule? A better mix of games keeps things fresh in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback Jambo and I will respond to your suggestions here (and the previous ones) early next week. I want to get some more players' thoughts first though. Regarding your first comment, We have been substantially increasing the number of series we run and plan to continue doing so.

Yes the pop up are a huge annoyance but i would argue not just for Regs and as Choak said it makes your brand look rather gimmicky. And i would also argue that the other issues like the non conforming table sizing, time bank issues and terrible/gimmicky rewards program etc affect recreational players as well. In fact it may even affect them i.e. 888 "more" in that they can happily move to a plethora of other sites to play just one or two tables meaning you loose those precious players but some Regs may put up with it because they need volume

I would love this idea because it will do something that a lot of sites don't seem to care about... bringing NEW players to their site. You don't just want all the Regs leaving poker stars to come to you. As such running and actually properly promoting a small stakes series (not like giving a few days notice for the micro millions like stars did!) should really help grow your site. Both Regs and Recreational players are getting more and more annoyed with Stars so give them a reason to pick your site!

very nice, i like it. finally some site that listening to players. a nice lowstakes series is really missing in the community.
maybe some $12 or one $22 would be nice in the later days is just too micro oriented, not too exciting. but its looks good overall, i will definetly play them!

thnaks

Id prefer the series run fri-sun, 3 events a day, bigger gtds

For a series to feel special i believe the gtds need to be alot bigger, and making it weekend only gives you the chance to do that i believe.

How it is now, its just a few extra microstakes tournaments added to the schedule for the week with non eye catching gtds.

Friday

$12 FO 25k
$5r 40k
$11 turbo 1 re entry 20k

Saturday

$12 Knockout 25k
$55 highroller 50k
$22 turbo 25k

Sunday

$5 6 max re entry 25k
$33 main event 100k
$5r turbo 20k

Feedback:

#5 has one too many zeros.

Not a fan of no $10k+ gtd between 17-20 Aug. Many of your loyal customers may skip it if there isn't a reason to play.

That said, I like your efforts around the weekends with the larger prize pools.

Add some PLO8 / NLO8 (maybe additional PLO), too. I think there's easily room for third tournament each day, probably at 21:00 (they should mainly be turbos though).

12$ Turbo PLO8 and 12$ (or 5$) turbo R&A NLO8 should nail it. This is also brilliant chance to promote non-hold'em games.

Probably mainly too small series for me. How about some medium-sized series with a leaderboard in September?

Can you give us an official date yet for the auto time-bank software update?

I'd love to see some of the old formats that used to run on FTP Stars

For example the Monster Rush, it was arebuy with 1,5$k chips per 0.5$-1$ with a 10k chips addon. Just make it snap.

Or the withered 3x Turbo Rebuy on Stars. 3k chips per 1$, 30k addon.

Or the escalator on FTP. Level 1 starts with 1 minute blinds, and increases 1 minute every blind level. Works good with medium field sizes.

Would be a real nice addition to the schedule. Just make the rebuys rakefree and you're set.

+1 to a PLO8/NLO8.

One of the advantages that 888 has to partypoker is that Party's software doesn't have the ability to offer NLO8. I think you guys should use a series like this to showcase this fun game.

When will nightly creocodile get a better structure?

PLEASE mak it 15 min blinds.

tonight at soma point the average stackreache 15 bbs.

I do not want to pay 160 bucks to a tournaent that turns inte a luckfest.

Please fix it.

Thanks!

Also: Thanks for you response! I hae noticed u try to give answer to all posts. highly appreciated!!!!!

Crocodile (not the late night) and Tornado are now 15 minute blind levels. Thanks for the feedback. Hope to see them grow.

I cannot give an official date since it is not in my hands and these things can get delayed sometimes, but I can tell you it is currently planned for end of August.

Late night Crocodile will get the new structure with antes from start already tonight. We will not extend it to 15 minute blinds at this point since it's a late tournament for many of our players so we don't want to make it too long but it should be a bit deeper with the new structure.

Many thanks for the feedback regarding the Micro Series. We will implement a couple of the changes requested and will update with the new schedule soon.

Oh, and the Tornado guaranteed prize has already been increased due to the change (10K Sunday as of tonight and 7k midweek), and I'm sure it will be increased further in the coming months.
