This tournament is ideal for lowstakes players that wanna take a shot at something with a good prizepool.

Don't change the monday twins, please! They are perfect the way they are now!!



even making it $30 would be bad. They are very good as they are. Keep it that way!

The twins can continue existing as they are but there needs to be something that is worth regging above 55$ and besides the crocodile there really is nothing besides the withered 109s, a 215$ 6max-20k gtd would work i think, i d much rather see it introduced with a 15k gtd then not at all , 888 rep?

high tier of the twins would work too. 75-109$ range?

the 75hyper is nice and kind of playable because of the 6max format. any plans on adding a 6max turbo 55-109 buyin range ?( 5/6 min levels)

+1 on 55$ 6max Turbo, the early fullring one is a bowl.

I'd like it to be rather late, 21:00-22:00 CET sounds optimal.

maybe even later to not clash with lightning and w/e the 55$ 6max regspeed is called.

Yes, they can easily run a 215 6max right next to the Twins without those tournaments cannabilizing each other too much (or at all really..).

I think the key to making this succesfull is making it 205+10 or something, so that you give people who have played on Pokerstars for years now an incentive (lower rake, better fitting for this BI) to log on to 888.

Seems we are in agreement

hey guys i think you need to change your lobby to show the current prize pool rather than the guarantee.

i wont reg a 15k guaranteed $50 tournament, but if the prize pool is $40k i prob flick it in.

I used to play Monday Twins a lot when there was previous structure with antes kicking in later, lesser levels and 15 minute blinds. Even then the stacks were quite deep. A new structure with 15 minute levels are too slow for recreational players in Europe who have to work the next day. For instance, it was 8.28AM CET in Romania and Belarus, the winners of yesterday's Royal challenge. In France, Germany and Poland it was 7.28 AM, in the UK 6.28 AM.

Don't get me wrong as I like a new structure and it is excellent for tournaments with 10, 6 or 5 minute levels. Therefore, I would like to suggest increasing starting stack to 5000 chips and reducing blind levels to 10 or 12 minutes for Monday Twins. I believe that Daily Challenge Tournaments of Monday, Wednesday and Thursday should be similar in length.

Yes this has always been a reason i dont play the daily challenges.

These tournaments finish too late for me personally, and for the prizes up top, its not worth skipping a day off work for a rec player.

If the structures cant b changed, at least starting the challenges 1 hour earlier or so would be great

I need at least a few hours of sleep before to go to work (I have Eastern Europe Time Zone). For this reason, I prefer Wednesday Challenge on weekdays.

I'm a little wary on the Twin format as it encourages collusion more than regular tournaments. I still play them if I need some tournaments up but I do hope 888 regularly reviews players who make deep runs in both tournaments.

the crocodile and some other branded dailies have no sattelites showing in their lobbies.

this makes it more unappealing

The Challenges are wildly popular, there's literally no reason to change them.

The one thing that is missing is a quality tournament at 14:30.

You can win any $30 step 5 satellite and use it for the croc. My main task on weekdays is to win as many $30, $55, $109 tickets for weekend tournaments as possible. I love that players can win tickets and use them whenever they want.

I agree Challenges are popular but GTD of Friday Challenge used to be 25k and now, in autumn, their prize pool rarely, if ever, exceeds 25k. I don't have stastics but I presume that Friday Challenge is not performing much better in comparison to summer. I personally would play Friday Challenge more othen if it had 12 minute levels and 5000 chips starting stack. With this structure you will have a lot of time to accumulate chips in early levels and you will still get a lot of deep stack poker in late stages the tournament.

My biggest issue with the challenges is that they run a tad too late. Maybe an hour earlier would have me flick it in more often

Pls dont change the structures. I like these 888 tourneys because you can play poker deep in them instead of flipping for bunch of money. There are turbo tourneys for you guys who can't play long sessions.

+1 in Changing Challenges, either structure or timeslot. The challenges are going way to long for european players. Make sure they are not going longer then 8h or at best move them 1h-1,5h ahead. I see that canadians, brazilians don't like that move but it thing a majority would play them more often.
