[OFFICIAL] 888 2015 MTT Discussion Thread - Page 19 - MTT Poker Strategy

Pretty much all of our MTT's should now have the new structure. Let us know if you find any that don't and you think should. The $35 6 max at 21:15 GMT has the new structure. Couldnt find one at the time you mentioned. $11 R&A and KO both got earlier antes as of tomorrow. $1.50 format changed as suggested. $24 deepstack got 5,000. Roller Coaster will be tried as a 6 max as of tomorrow. Time slot will be addressed but not immediately. Many thanks for your feedback! Please PM me your username on 888.

6-max Roller Coaster sounds awful change. But I agree that it could have a little faster structure, for example by removing few of those slow advancing levels right after add-on.

Changing the structure of Saturday 55r to something more playable would be good.
Last 2-3 tables average stack is around 15-20 bbs, which is pretty short for a tournament like that.

888 add a "New Structure!" tag to the 18:05 BST 1.50R Turbo and increase the guarantee to at least $750 and see how it does

Hey All,
Following requests for a Thursday Highroller we have decided to try out a new concept. As of this Thursday at 18:30 GMT we will be running a $215 buy-in weekly Highroller named The QuarterBack. Alongside the deepstack structure (10,000 chips, 20 minute levels) it will allow you to rebuy a quarter of your starting stack for only $50 (no fee) in case you lose all of your chips within the late registration period. We will start with a $20,000 guaranteed prize and see how it goes.

We have added a more balanced payout structure to this tournament which we will be gradually adding to our other tournaments as well.

Good Luck!

It's ridiculous this hasn't been fixed yet. I just missed out on a $630 mincash because the other table was stalling more than mine and the short stack on the other table had 10 seconds more in his time bank than me.

Besides being generally unfair and encouraging stalling, this also leaves the door open for collusion if someone wants to stall/not stall to help a short stack.

How about introducing some more turbos for Euros ending their sessions

$6, $35 6max and a $16.50 and a few micros is a bit withered

personally think the idea is a bit meh, but always great to see new tourneys and you guys are killing it lately, so thankyou.

Was thinking maybe something like players in the money get a quarter of the buy in back until it reaches FT. 10th = $50, 9th = $1k or whatever, depending on field. Could make for a fun bubble and ft heavy payouts. Either way will still check the new tourney out, thanks again.

Meh. The ft only on stars is a terrible bowl, this is much more likely to succeed and enervate big pools than making it super too heavy. Good idea will def be playing it

Just saw the Quarterback. Its a pretty interesting marketing name/tournament. I cannot remember any other tournament ever having this format so bonus points just for that. No idea how I will like people rebuying for 2500 chips at 250/500, but hey we'll see.

Thanks for getting back to me to quickly. Would you be able to change this to NLO8? The difference between NLO and NLO8 is massive. NLO8 has been trending upwards on Pokerstars in the last 2 years whereas NLO has not.

Thanks in advance.

888 how about a mini shot for the lower stakes guys finishing up their sessions? will get huge popularity from recreationals aswell who the $75 buy in is a bit too high for them. Like a $5-11 unlimited second chances exact same structure. Don't think it will take away any of the field from the main one either?
