early counterpunch rebranding of one of the 55$ 3k/5k fos in early sched

call big brawl II the little brawl or the late brawl

make one of the 109 5ks during early shedule ''the daily warmup'' 109 vanilla 7.5k that can naturally grow into a 10k vanilla must play mtt later in the year

Have a general question. It seemed like during powerfest, there were lots of tournaments. But now.. it seems like theres not really much tournaments if you play low stakes. Also why are there so many of those 5.50 tournaments as oppose to 11 dollar buyins? Also does anyone know why they dont have more 22 dollar or 33 dollar tournaments and put in a bigger guarantee?


For someone who plays low stakes mtt and some midstakes, it seems like partypoker probably is still behind 888? It just seems like there isn't more than say 6 tournaments max one could play if they want to play till up to 22 dollar tournaments on partypoker...

gentle bump

Also is there any ETA on when the small/mid-stakes schedule will get an overhaul. The way I recall it there was talk of it after the completion of your online series, we are eagerly awaiting!

Peak time MTT gaurentees seem to have dropped

Have you checked out our new Sit & Go Hero Special Edition in the lobby?

We have just launched a new 3 handed SNG Hero without the bounty following feedback from our players
Buy in $50 and you have the chance to win up to $500K!!

I received no response from the team and have nothing to share - sorry

No ETA - Patrick and the team are working on it

Typical to this team of year with the summer season upon us

What are the payout %s and what is rake?

Also, can we get a ~$5-$10 version of that aswell pretty please?

And while I'm here, can someone point me to free or cheap party poker mods? The white table hurts my eyes after a while.

5% rake

Payouts are as follows -



Future versions under consideration

If you create a $10 one I'll be allll over that. Played over 3k spins last months and would love to switch before they change their reward program.

Would it be possible to change points allocation so that you will get points when you start playing MTT instead of when you bust out? With earlier VIP system it wasn't so important when you got those points, but with weekly rakeback and strict point thresholds it's really hard not to lose some value and even miss quite big rakeback jumps because this.

Was so prophetical to get 180$ beat because of this. 8 tournaments which just couldn't bust but couldn't win either, and no easy ways to make 40$ rake (like heads-up lottery sit and go's. Also thought that I would get 50p from busting 1000+50 satellite after I qualified via semifinals (wasn't sure, but since e-mail was similar to one you get from actually getting regular seat).

Simple solution if not able to change VIP system instantly to award points from bust to reg would to move cut like 6 hours forward, when people are not in middle of the Sunday session full of tables running when they really should NOT need to think about hitting some cashback target, imo.

Well enough whining, but I think there'll lots of people who will get disappointed occasionally for missing a target because of this and it should really be changed.

Hey, not sure if it's intentional or an oversight but the $55 phase (and possibly the $215, I haven't checked) still have the old structure rather than the new improved version. Is it possible to change this as I noticed that it played out far quicker in the mid stages today than other party MTTs, with average stacks becoming fairly short as a result...

I noticed the same and mentioned it to the management. They said they'd look in to it.

Some tournaments (I think HR's and PSKO's) still have problems with no hand-for-hand during bubble if there's 9 players paid or so.

More timebanks pleas. You put so much on the schedule and then decrease timebank suddenly. SHR got like 15s timebank?

+1

Last week I was unable to gain enough points to get $5 cashback. Today my points balance is zero. Does it mean I have lost points I have earned last week? It looks impossible for small stakes player who occasionally takes shots at the Contender to gain the necessary amount of points within one week. With previous VIP program it was possible to exchange points for tickets whenever I wanted.

Your new tournament structures looks better than previous ones. However, your small stakes schedule has too many PKOs during peak hours. Do you plan to introduce $11 FOs/re-entry tournaments during peak hours any time soon?

why not always opt-in everyone automatically to the cashbacks?

Very good job Party Poker with all the improvements lately. I completely stopped playing on pokerstars and moved my action to Party.

is it back to 15 secs again? Please make it 20s, it makes all the difference.

This happened again, now in Kangaroo which is actually freezeout. Tournament ID #138891371, 9 paid but hand-for-hand only started when there was 9 people left (for 8-handed FT).

The new system seems great for regs, bit concerned that a recreational player who plays one or two days a week is just going to end up getting absolutely nothing?

Nothing new there it's always been the case

You could easily play 3-4 low staked mtts a night for a week and still not meet the min points

Except that's not true.

In the old system casual recs could rack up points slowly and then use the accumulated balance after months / years for something available to bronze or whatever the bottom end was called, or burn through points for one month to hit gold or palladium in order to cash in the points. This has been taken away.

As skadoosh said, the new system offers no loyalty incentive at all to casual players. I agree that this is a major flaw. I don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer sites where money is coming in at the bottom of the pyramid.
