Hi all

We have some background maintenance going on Tuesday 11th August – between 8:3OAM CET and 8:50AM CET
There will be no downtime. Players will be prompted to upgrade the poker software upon next launch.
Some users may experience a small issue for SNG tournaments when trying to register- this will last only minutes.
Cash, CCG game, ff and MTTs will see no impact.

Thanks,

Colette

Really have to say, you are going to get into the right direction.

Lower starting stacks are way better now, people are more likely to gamble in the end.

Thanks for changing 20 1RE to :30, small change which was needed.

Still need to think about the 1k problem, on a sunday it would be run way better........... A late 20+ turbo would be awesome too. Could start 1h after the 100$ turbo 10k.

Yeah, Colette just forgot how to post links again. Judging from what is visible she probably meant this one.

In my defence Thunderbolts - the page has since been updated and the link changed - sorry - I missed this to edit my comment above.
Looks like the PDFs for download schedules were updated.

The correct link - https://www.partypoker.com/whats-goi...pokerfest.html

Your previous link takes you to:

When it should've taken you to:

...com/whats-going-on/tournaments/pokerfest.html

the first one is an incomplete link as you copied only the part that shows in text as the forum software makes the text part of the link a bit shorter

17:45 Sunday Major $5r starts with 2000 chips, no more big add-on. Sigh.

Hi all

Just to let you all know we have made some slight changes to some of our Majors as per below - name change only - however please note for the Daily $10K Turbo the add- on has been increased from 5000 to 10,000 chips!



Thanks

Colette

Looks like good change for turbo rebuy. I was already freaking out that would you destroy last good tournament in your schedule, but it was just a name and you brought another tournament back playable. Maybe also going to bring some decent add-ons to some other hyper rebuys to help them grow?

I actually was coming to post that with Big Add-on removed from turbo rebuy there's room for some 5+R or 10+R turbo rebuy which would start around 1 hour later than that, as it didn't last that long and players like me were feeling that there's really nothing to play after turbo rebuy for about 2 hours. Not even satellites to Pokerfest Online, maybe you could add 1-2 of them too for time being?

Also, there used to be 20+R turbo sat to 530$ highroller earlier @ 14:45 if I remember correctly. It had 2k starting stack and 6k add-on, and I never ever remember it overlaying (it had 1 seat guaranteed). Why it was removed?

please change structure of the 50r

it has become a terrible crapshoot now

i even like the 109 re entry better now

Hello Partypoker. You have a great site.
But please get moore of lower buyin tournaments.
Aim moore for the rec players. Get the 5r-20r back.
Put in some moore 10-30f. Start with fullko mtts.

EARLIER ANTES FOR THE $100 [3k]

Hi all,

Please note that as of Monday September 7th we will be making some changes to our tournament schedule…

All $100 buy-in multi-table tournaments in the schedule will change to $109 ($100 + $9) buy-in

The $109 ($100 + $9) buy-in $20,000 Gtd [Re-Entry] at 14:00 ET (19:00 BST/20:00 CET) on Wednesday and Thursday will now carry a guarantee of $25,000. The Friday tournament will remain at $20K Gtd

We will add an additional $25K Gtd Re-enrty tournament for $109 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 14:00 ET(19:00 BST/20:00 CET)

The Monday and Tuesday $20,000 Gtd $50 Rebuys currently held at 14:00 ET (19:00 BST/20:00 CET) will change to $15,000 guarantees and be moved to 12:45 ET (17:45 BST/18:45 CET)

Players with $100 tickets will be issued with $109 tickets (we’re giving you $9 free)

Please direct any questions or concerns to our customer services teams via the usual channels.

Thanks
Colette

Hmm $92.60+$7.40 to $100+$9, thanks for that I do like rake increases.

but the're giving us $9 free....
oh the irony

These are badly broken in the lobby, looks like someone copied old format while keeping longer late reg:

1) They have 8 levels late reg (80 mins + breaks)

2) They have old 60 minutes unlimited rebuys + add-ons (meaning that for about last 30 minutes of late registration is AFTER rebuy period has ended).

3) Rebuys and add-ons cost again just 46,30$ (smaller prize pools coming up).

4) Their add-on is just 1,5x and starting stack mere 2000. Not much to play for that money.

Few notes: make add-on 2x again and starting stack 3k, and if you want to keep 2k starting stack 2,5x might even be better as it gives little more deeper stacks after add-on.

Also it is strange that you plan to make one of your flagship MON / TUE tournament smaller, as winter is coming and you should really encourage people to coming back to Party instead of sending them away.

What were the chances that we will have break at ;55 ?

Why you change again the Buyin-numbers?
straight numbers were pretty nice, now you change it again to +9 +5 and icrease the rake on this in a hidden way?
Make it at least 102+7 52+3 .

Good move on have 109 RE and 50r.


Saturday-Shedule has to be fixed too.

Good smalish rebuys are gone and are changed to Freezeouts, makes no sense at all. No really nice Major on Saturdays. Could have a 50r or a bigger 100RE at 14:00 ET (19:00 BST/20:00 CET), instead you spread the Buyinrange on Saturdays into small and highbuyins. no midbuyinrange there. Keep the regular 5+ and 10+ on saturdays and bring the 100RE or 50r on a sat.

i wanted to mention something about the new re-entry satellites you are trying on the schedule:

im currently one of the top volume mtt/satty players for 2014 and 2015 on party. i played a few of the re-entry sattys today but i will not play another and i guarantee they will die off without myself and a few other keeping them alive. the reasons are:

the $22 use a 6 minute blind level and 3x re-entry.
the $109 uses an 8 minute blind level and 3x re-entry

these current setups are an absurd money sucking hole you have created that not only takes the money from our pockets but the lint, thread, and gum with it.

-limit the re-entry to 1x to match that of the few re-entry mtts on the schedule.
-raise the blind levels on the $22 from 6 minutes to atleast 8+ minutes
-raise the blind levels on the $109 to atleast 10+ minutes. (same as the previous $100 to $530 satty)

the only thing i can say good about these new sattys are the antes from the start

Wow those sound brutal.

At a time when Party is continuing to lose market share you'd think that they'd be doing things that are player friendly. Changing the old rebuy structures wasn't too friendly to the sharps... but it was friendly to the rec players. In balance it was a good switch.

To introduce re-entries isn't good to any players... just Party. The amount of players they are going to lose by this switch is going to end up costing them money when they add up the increased margins of re-entries and then subtract the amount of players that have quit.

+1.

I would really appreciated if you would go back to 3k starting stack/6k addon in the 50$r
the 2k/4k format you are using now is way too of a crap-shoot imo
