More info on this

Fwiw we (Bitb) were never offered something like this and I imagine we'd be first in line if they asked anybody!

Hi, atm we're allowed to have 4 fastforward entries in total, which should be changed to 4 entries per stake imo. I think this can help 200nl-ff a lot (and in the same way it can help out 500nl-ff (mainly in future tho pbb)). Right now when there are for example just 1-18 people in the 200nl pool you have to wait quite long for a new hand. Hence it's not worth it to close a 100nlz table and replace it for a 200nlz, however when it would be possible to add that table in addition to the 4 100nlz entries you could 5 table for some time and once the 200nlz pool is large enough that you get enough hands to make closing a 100nlz table worth it you can do that. I think a lot of players would be eager to play 200nlz on party instead of stars but it's not running enough and or big enough atm, every quick fix that can increase liquidity would be one in the right direction.

I've been told this is the case by someone who is a horse for one of the more euro site based stables. I don't see what reason he would have to lie. A few others have been whispering about it too. Never heard it in the context of bitb but all of your guys are probably playing the relevant games anyway.

Right now i'm inclined to believe its true.

Yeah you would think it would be easy to sort out. In the hands of the marketing team though. High leaderboard is somewhat reasonable but the rest are bit of a shambles really. Not sure how many of the people account sharing have been banned yet.

This is not a deal offered by party
I would suggest possibly - as per previous comments in another thread - any deal your source refers too was with DTD directly

Regardless of who offers it the games are hosted by Party poker. The issue was brought up a month ago and it has been barely acknowledged that it exists. Party has offered no explanation whether this practice is acceptable or not.

Players have a right to know one way or the other. Rug sweeping isn't ok.

Hi all

I just wanted to share a quick update with you all
Regarding our continued optimization process we have made changes to late registration period affecting a large number of our tournaments

All NLHE non-turbo Featherweight and Middleweight games have had the late registration period decreased from 15 levels to 12 levels

Also Non-turbo FW, MW and NLHE events now have the new “10 x 8mins / 10 x 10mins / rest 12 mins” structure with exception of the following which remain with the previous structure >>

Featherweight: The Jab - $10K Gtd
Middleweight: The Big Brawl - $20K Gtd PKO
Middleweight: The Contender - $15K Gtd
Featherweight: The Brawl - $10K Gtd PKO
Middleweight: The Big Brawl - $50K Gtd PKO
Middleweight: The Contender II - $5K Gtd
Featherweight: The Jab - $7.5K Gtd
Featherweight: The Brawl - $20K Gtd PKO
Featherweight: The Jab II - $2.5K Gtd


Changes are live from today

Thanks

Colette

Good work on the late reg reduction, buying in for 10bb is a bit silly in a deepstack tournament. Not sure I'm a fan of the 10x8min starts in 22 and 55$ buyins though.

Could you include the 2-day info in the lobby? Like after how much time or how many levels the tournament pauses.

I don't understand why whine about late reg in cases of PSKO. I understand it may feel frustrating in regular tournaments.

I personally love it when people late reg at the late moment to PSKO. They're effective playing for half the money.

Btw you guys are going way overboard with the starting stacks. I get it, you gotta top last time. But you will buy into phase 2s with 1M chips... it's just silly/unnecessarily complicated to have to raise to 25336 at the second level of the tourney/have to deal with stacks of several hundred million at final tables.

I kind of enjoyed the billion chips in the final table of a phase. Don't ever rly get to that many chippies

This needs to be addressed transparently ASAP.

Party has a direct business relationship with DTD which makes this situation very sketchy.

Colette's fairly trivial response, and the fact that pads isn't even aware of this doesn't inspire confidence.

Why would I as a sponsored pro have any idea I'm sure Trickett and Boris don't know anything either, doesn't mean its true or not true.

Thankyou for structure changes. I am back playing $5.50s on party now

Guess because u have a stable and you are missing huge opportunity for profit??? Lol

Yea so is Boris.

Oh wait......

@the4bettingmonk hey i don't know did you understand my post correctly, i was being sarcastic. obv its just stupid to assume that if someone is sponsored pro he should be aware about ALL the things that are going on

Comon man don't go the I'm just a sponsored guy who doesn't know anything about the company route. Yet at the same time be intricately involved in other aspects of the company.

I like many just want a straight answer one way or the other and then I can make up my mind on whether or not I play satellites on Party due to the added risk of collusion.

Yea I know I was going for a joke and something must have been lost in translation Or it was just a bad joke

To be fair to Pads there have been a number of times where support on here was unaware of certain dealings for a while - for example the serbian tester issue on SNGs. I don't think we can expect a sponsored pro to be up to date on any unconventional affiliate deals.

Also DTD are running the Caribbean Classic with partypoker branding just fwiw. They were very pleasant to deal with I gotta say.

edit: In another thread Colette confirms she does not deal with affiliates either so not sure where you're gonna get an answer on this :P

A month ago he said he posted that he would look into it.
I don't care who answers the question but I feel all sites need to be accountable for their decisions. It seems that this issue is trying to be swept under the rug and that makes me nervous when I have money on the site.

Opened client at :50 today and closed it very quickly because you had only one regular speed game available at :50.
8/10/12 minute levels are fine. Make LR a bit longer than 2 hours.

Oh okay didn't know that.

I think there's a lot of shady stuff going on in the satellites fwiw. Played a $100 satty today and a guy with an ABI of $3 ran the table.

What do you mean by this?
