Hi all,

I spoke with our promo team regarding our upcoming offers and I have some great news!
From December 1st to December 31st we will run…. The Gladiator!

I don’t have all the details yet however I can confirm -

1) The promotion will run across all poker games so it doesn’t matter if you play cash games, SNGs or MTTs – everything counts towards your points target
2) Mobile game play will be included in the promo but you will have to opt-in via desktop first!
3) Win up to $4,000 cash

More information will be added on the website over the coming days and I will of course up date you all when I can.
For those of you who have been around for a few years - you will fondly remember our Gladiator promo - it certainly was one of the best!

Thanks

Colette

Hi Party_rep

Can u please lower the gtd seats for the $22 satellites to $109 tickets that run every hour on .00. They almost never run because to few entrants. Make the 20 seats gtd 10 seats gtd , and the 10 seats gtd 5 seats gtd.
For example today the one from 18.00 ,19.00 and 20.00 are not running. Such a shame. This is almost everyday

Thank you

It was not performing well
There are other $11 throughout the day available
For now this will not be replaced
11-26-2015 , 08:21 AM
hardly any 11$ tournaments on ur site that pay over 1k first

right hook is a great tournament, u shud keep it and just adjust the gtd a bit
11-26-2015 , 10:29 AM
Well, that was the last tournament I played, there's nothing to even remotely similar to that.. After Carl Froch promotion is over, I'll be gone.

E: You probably killed it yourself, as lots of players withdrawed (at least in our country) their money when you killed rebuy satellites and 3+r hyper rebuy.
11-26-2015 , 11:33 AM
@right hook
i think it was performing better with the 3k/15k structure.. maybe get back to that or just adjust the pricepool
I'm pretty sure many players who played the 3$r hyper, also played the right hook! so by getting rid of the 3$r hyper you also lost some players for the right hook!!!

Yeah, that's the issue. You can't like remove 8 of 10 good tournaments and except everyone who used to play 10 tournaments want to play just 2 tournaments any more.

Now there's just (regular) re-entries. Mindless raketraps which last for ages.

Hi Colette. Ive been grinding mtts at partypoker for last seven years. It always has been one of my favorie sites. But the schedule for now is by far the worst and thin schedule that you presented. I really dont get the reasoning behind it? I understand that mtt players arent priority number one, but you should really look over it. As I think many of CET players start grinding at 19.00. Ive found four mtts that has normal structure until 12oclock.

Example of mtts that would be good having:
15fo@20.00
5r@20.30
10r @21.30
20fo @22.00
Put in the right hook with less gtd. Try progressive, or normal knockouts, some lowstakes plenty day starting with me on sundays.

Having The Right Hook removed on top of all the other r+a games is brutal. I'm pretty sure it was performing fine before the changes when it wasn't called The Right Hook?

I'd echo what others have said about being extremely disappointed in the culling of the $5-$10 turbo r+a games. It is depressing to look at the rebuy filter and see a slew of 11 cent games in their place. Really hoping Party takes the feedback to heart and brings them back (along with the 3r that always performed).

I think the new tourney filters played into this. For alot of midstakes regs that one was the only 11$ tourney they would play on your site so with the new Buy-in filters people just forget to reg it(if they use only mid/high buy-in range filter to not clutter up the lobby). Was a great tourney sad to see it go.
11-26-2015 , 10:31 PM
Why was it not performing well?`
Did it had overlay? Where there not enough Players or what was the reason?
The Tourney is overall one of the best games for rec players on your site(like all turborebuygames including the 3+r hyper).
If it had overlay,
-reduce grt to 7,5k
-Change the label of this MTT, it was really confusing and i would guess some people didnt knew what it was.
- Change the structure. You created a structure where a ton of players are late-reging, cause the big Add-On made it pretty good to latereg, make the Addon smaler or latereg shorter, that player have more incentive to play earlier and use more rebuys ,Prizepool will get bigger.

There are so many options to do before just deleting this MTT.
It looks like your team watched some overlays and therefore they decided to delete this MTT, which is just a joke and lazy of your team.

As i mentioned before, you have install more smaller MTTs like 3+hyper more 5+ turbo to give more players a reason to play. All of your featured games will profit from this, cause player have some tables open and want to fire more tables. Right now its tough for most players to have more then 4 tables at the same time, thats just not enough. Instead of install some more games which support other games you even delete more Games, which is exact the opposite of what you should do. Feels like the tax curve and you missing the point where you at right now.

Instead of bring more Games to support you decrease your income due to deleting more games. Players are not playing more if less games are available, at least to a certain point, this point is by far not reached.



Your team was on a good way with this massiv increase in Guaranteed-MTT, bringing huge 100$ Games and so on. Now its the time to improve one more time and bring some more games.

I know i'm annoying but that's what everybody is thinking right now. And by everybody i mean your customer.

#daily50r
#10+ turbo 2k +2k +4k
# 3+hyper 5k
#more 5+ turbo 2-3k, after 100t 10k
# 20+ 1/2 rebuy turbo 3k, 2h after 100t

those where a first good addition

My best bet it that Party MTTs will come crashing down in 7th of December (when current MTT promotion ends). By end of the year guaranteeds will be under $1 million from current $1,6M until they fix their mistakes. Most small field tournaments are simply kept alive by players because of current promotion.

I don't agree with removing the big add-on. It was actually one critical feature that was making it big. But there should be some additonal 2k+2k+5k (prob better 3k+3k+9k) 5+r or 10+r turbo rebuys. Site as large as Party should AT LEAST have one of them running per hour. More regular rebuys needed as well.

But no, Party has decided. They want to make all their tournaments re-entry just to maximize their (short-sighted) rake. I have an idea for you, why not make then multi-entry while you're at it. Just copy nine lives (triple multi-entry, triple re-entry), it brings SO MUCH more rake for you.

Or wait. Wasn't Full Tilt 2nd largest online poker site by far? What happened after they slashed their VIP program and made about all tournaments re-entries or multi-entries or both? Party is doing it all again.

what is this? multiple posters already voiced opinions to bring back/add more turbo rebuys and you end up cutting the biggest one of the lot. Get it back and the 3r hyper, plus a few more 5r turbos later in the night.

I agree, the structure was perfectly good (as evidenced by its fine performance before the changes).

Hi all

Thanks

Colette

A bit disappointing there is nothing to play on party until 18.00 CET, especially on a sunday.

Just throw in a $109 warmup at around 16.00 and a $55 Kickoff at 14.00
11-29-2015 , 12:00 PM
Was gonna post the same, every Sunday that I start early there is nothing to play. Even the $20 satellite to the 200k is gone obv.

Hi all

Some feedback from the team for you -

-switch saturday 109 6max with the 109 turbo please - this is being considered, I still have no final decision
-50r daily + 1 highstakes games daily like 350$ - the 50r daily is again under consideration, it has been discussed and its with the guys at the moment to review the effect this could have on the daily Contender - ongoing
We still dont believe the $350 daily will get the support it needs - we are gathering some BI for the team to do a full analysis
-increase gtd of some games, atm its a very good chance for PartyPoker, just grab it!
- Do you have enough games in your schedule? At what point do you have too much Games in your Schedule that it hurt some grt of your featured games?
Tough question i guess, but i would try to improve you schedule slowly and see what happens to your games. Right now i would assume some more games would be good to even increase the Prizepools of your featured games. That been said, i would install for Highbuyins a daily 50r, increase PP of the 100t and earlay100FO. For low-midstakes you could install another 5+ Turbo @ 23:30CET with a smalish grt 2k. Even rec-player do play both of them, so they would benefit from each other. Bring a 20r 1/2rebuyturbo game at the end of your schedule, this will be good for your 50FO at the end, bring it @ 00:00 with a 3k grt. - for now we wont be adding any more games until our new schedule has had some time to run - we dont want to add new games and canabilize the current offering however you have raised valid concerns regarding low/mid stakes offering later in the evening I have asked this to be reviewed in full
-timebank in the 100t 10k is a bit to less, make timebank in between a regular turbo and the 109 50k - as the tournament is a turbo its using a turbo timebank
- Please give PLO8 and rebuys some care. These changes are simply killing them - we agree the selection is limited and needs some improvement however in the previous schedule the PL08 tournaments did not perform well.
-Are you ever gonna try improve the morning/early afternoon schedule? - this is currently under review
- the payout structure of the "new" main event is ****ed-up - room for improvement - the change has already been put in place and we will continue to work on improving our payout structures


Kind regards,

Colette
