i dont like the structure changes to the midstakes games

you guys used to be the best. structures were nice and deep, you didnt push re-entries like acr/party

stars/party/acr have all improved their structures, and yours got worse. you offer a laughable rewards/vip program, and your games are among the toughest in terms of average ability rating. and now were just gonna flip away with the other regs? no thanks, and I'm a former Push Fold player on your site before you ruined that too

get back to doing what you were best at. or youll suffer from the surprisingly strong competition at the moment

edit: the octopus sucked but id be shocked to see data that the breeze was suffering. maybe since you added deepstack monsoon, same happened with the swordfish. but theres certainly space for both and the $88. you could even add the breeze back and make either the twister/typhoon a deepstacked breeze with long LR. in fact the lightning runs less than all of these things

Those are nice additions but all re entry.If they do well before you raise they gtds you should limit them to 1 re entry or none.Just too much re entry on your site in nearly every game available.You should really actually try limit re entries in all the blue major games.

For additions i would add a theme for the $11 buy in level and replace all the stuggling $11 re entry and rebuy none blue games.

Also if you check partys latest additions, $11 sunday majors are very popular and you guys are lacking in this area apart from the mega dozen.
A few more sunday majors in the micro/low stakes area running threw the day would be great.Stuff like a $11 lunchtime sunday major, re naming the 4pm 8-8-8 $8 tournament on sundays to something special with nice gtd and doing the same with 9pm turbo catfish would be cool.

+2 the 12r really has suffered because of this
Also love the new 'starfish' but please limit to 1 re entry?

edit: would also be nice if all the starfishes could be 8-max? a lot more fun and makes them stand out from the swordfish

To all those requesting for the R&A tournaments to have 3k starting stack and 6k add-on, your voice has been heard and starting today all R&A tournaments will have this structure. Good Luck.

Only 2 of the 7 Starfish tournaments have re-entries (will be 3 of 8 since we plan to add a turbo version in the pacific hours). One is Pacific which is a difficult hour and the other is the deepstack which we hope will achieve a very big prizepool.

The new feature will show player position in the tournament as well as how many players are left until the money is reached. Both stats will be present on the table and will update in real time.

It will take a few days until this version updates automatically but you can get it now by downloading from our website.

The tournaments that were added to our daily schedule are:

GMT
02:15 - The $2,000 Late Night Starfish
07:15 - The $2,500 Pacific Starfish
12:45 - The $2,500 Early Starfish
14:30 - The $5,000 Deepstack Starfish
18:00 - The $5,000 Starfish
19:45 - The $2,500 8-Max Starfish

Some tournaments around the $22 buy-in level were removed/replaced by the Starfish tournaments.
We will adjust the guarantees next week. If you have any feedback or suggestions we are happy to hear you out.

Good luck and have fun at the tables.
Looks good! Thanks!
Do you plan to run satellites to Starfishes of 18:00 GMT and 19:45 GMT?

Hello,

would you be so kind and take a look at your breaks?
They start aprox 30-60 seconds later then every other site, which leads to people abandon the 888 tables for the last hand, timebanks go to zero and player behind them get basically robbed of their breaks.

Would be very nice if you can change it like it was before.

Thanks a lot, prob all people who play on multiple sites will have the same prob.

I really liked the new Starfish MTTs but they just take to long.

273Players took bascically 8h of play wthich is just to long
Im gonna have to skip basically all of your deep MTTs as the structures are just to "good" and take just to long.

5/8 Players @ FT wanted to make a Deal bc they were annoyed by the deepness of the Game.

Anyone else with an opionion regarding those 12min lvl?

Feels like 10min would do the job and the games would finish within a decent timrframe.

I think you should start re-raising the guarantees which severely dropped when they were 2k/4k, perhaps add 'new structure' to a few of them to let people know they have gone back

Your 2nd chance/re-entires are counting as rebuys, and not going towards total entries so messing up the payout tables. The great 8 bubble for exmample is a 4 buyins bubble. Need to fix this

i actually like that reenties dont count, it makes prizes more juicy when % of players itm is lower

10-28-2017 , 06:31 PM
and pls return missing lvls from challenges, tornado etc...
888 2015 MTT Discussion Thread Quote

few suggestions regarding schedule, from top of my head:
- change Crocodile buyin to $109
- maybe switch Monsoon and Challenges starting times, in that case they will finish hour earlier than now and you can return all those dearly missed levels

The clock in the lobby is 1 minute slow. When Stars ticks round to :55, 888's clock is just moving to :54.

They just need to correct the clock.

They also need to add the dealer chat that Stars has that says "The 5 minute break will start when this hand finishes" so you can leave knowing the break is about to start.

Really frustrating to see there are more options at mid stakes than low stakes on your site. The low stakes games you do have are good and have nice structures in the $5 and $12 buy in's, but there isn't enough, and even then are too many turbo's.

You have monsoon, swordfish, starfish, tornado and crocodile all $22+ with very little at lower stakes. Why are there no "series" of tournaments in the $5 - $12 range?. There is a $5 "blowfish" at 13:00 uk time, a $5 "turbo deep" at 17:00 and a "turbo blowfish" at 18:00, surely this can be improved?

I would like to see a low stakes 6 max at peak time as there are currently none. I also think more KO mtts would be a good addition.
