Its probabaly a mistake in the tourney title.
"tournament info" window says nothing about re-entries.

There are several small turbos/hypers with this mistake.


Is it viable to increase gtd on daily $27 8-game?
It seems it becomes more popular and prize pool usually is 4x gtd recently.

any chance we can get a separate list for "qualifiers" or something for sattys to live events in the filters?

In my filters i have satties set to not show since there's 1500000 satties and I don't play too many of them. When I click live events it shows me nothing because all the sattys to live events are bundled in with the other ones (yes I understand it is a live satty, just think they should get their own.

yeah agree would be good to at least make the 8 game and horse at least 2k. As you say they are getting 3/4 k prizepools even at 1k gtd.

why the saturday 55d plo still isnt 6max

no I meant 4k.
making gtd at least 2k would ge great to make it more attractive.

you could legit turn this $55 plo hilo $1.5k (35 mins after b11) into an omania, maybe move the time around a little and make it $5k guarenteed. would be a huge improvement to the current daily plo offerings.
01-20-2015 , 06:07 PM
could the minimum entrants required for the $109 plo hilo (near big 162) be reduced by a small percentage? it seems to cancel alot but could be a nice comp if it got a little love
01-20-2015 , 07:04 PM
saturday 55d plo still not a 6max. cmon bryan you can do it.

yessss very good idea

It would 100% be a success.
01-21-2015 , 12:57 PM
^^I don't even play PLO8 myself, but am sure that an Omania of PLO8/NLO8 at euro-peak-time would really make sense.

Also would be great to add a 22$ 1R1A PLO Hi Omania, 1-2 hours after the 33$ Omania.
01-21-2015 , 05:54 PM
Courchevel $1r-3x turbo at 21:05 cet always get 1.5x gtd at least.
Maybe you could increase it or add another courchevel higher buy-in mtt like $2r($3r)-3x turbo, just $5r turbo or some 16.5fo.

Maybe you`ll consider adding daily red courchevel mtt.
01-21-2015 , 06:27 PM
How about adding a daily red PL 5 Card Omaha H/L?

ye, the early 55 saturday plo makes much more sense to be 6-max. And please bring in a least one omania higher than $33. <3
01-25-2015 , 01:14 PM
I dont even play the 55 plo anymore since its 9max and boring as fk,

A guarantees review is underway. It's possible that this one will increase, though I can't promise that right now, of course.

We're discussing it. I think it's likely that it will change to 6-Max.

(We're also discussing changing Omania to 6-Max overall, as previously mentioned.)

A minimum number of players of 9 is not unusual, really... and if a tourney can't even get that many to start, then it likely isn't a very viable tournament. It might be time for that tournament to simply go away... it's cancelled 11 out of the last 26 days and only averaged 25 players on the days that it has run... hmmm. We'll discuss this one...

That's an interesting idea, although $5K might be a bit ambitious given the usual prize pool for that tournament in its current time slot. Changing it to an Omania tournament will give it a boost, but I'm not sure that it will quite *triple* its normal figures. We'll discuss it...
01-27-2015 , 12:14 AM
the 8 game weekly $82 and horse 27 and weekly 82 I should also be increased gtd.

also all the other weekly 82's but especially the omaha's

Not all Omaha... considering it for Omania.

-1 to making the Omanias 6-max. I think field sizes would start to drop because 1) recreational players lose at a faster rate and 2) 6-max is more difficult to multi-table than 9-max.

I think when you threw out the idea a few weeks ago, there were mixed opinions and one of the alternative suggestions that was a compromise of the two options was making them 8-max.

I think both the $55 and $109 PLO8s are viable candidates to being turned into an Omania.

By changing a tournament to an Omania/Big, the field size will spike because of the deeper structure the tournament would receive, which also means 2 hours late registration. This extra hour of late registration makes a huge impact on the field size. Look at the # of players that late reg in the second hour of the existing Omanias, I'd ball park it at around 30% of the total participants.


If you don't think the $109 is worthy of being Omania, I would definitely not slash it from the schedule. Making it 6-max would positively affect the player field as the mid-high stakes players would prefer this format to 9-max.

This can also act as a stepping stone for those that want to eventually play the Weekly $530 (which is also 6-max). Right now, the only other 6-max PLO8 tournament on the schedule is the Saturday $55, which isn't even daily.
01-27-2015 , 09:10 PM
Please reconsider removing the $109 plo hilo. It just needs a little love and it will thrive! 6-max as suggested above sounds good. I think reducing minimum players to 6 would help if it remains 9 handed. When it runs, it always (or almost always) reaches the $2000 guarentee.
01-27-2015 , 10:07 PM
As I already explained, I'm also for keeping Omanias 9max, or maybe making them 8max.


An other thing:
Could we please get the Weekly 215$ HORSE and 8-Game back?
These two have proven to be very popular at the 27$ and 82$ stakes, and especially those players who just started to play these and do well should have something to aim for, imo.

Bryan, can you please have a look at $27 Daily 2-7sd structure? Because it has 25% antes from the very beginning, it becomes shove fest at later stage. Can you change its level time from 12 to 15 mins like the $5.50 has(12:50 ET) and may be change the structure of $5.50 from 15 to 12 or 10 mins - this will also led to more re entries.
