zoom 180s. What is the current state of play there? Like ZOOM On Demand 180s perhaps. Do think the format needs late reg to ensure a good mix of players

+1 On Demand sngs would be huge, or even just zoom sngs

In before Zoom 180 man spin and go hypers replacing regular 180's.

PS:
Was just kidding in the first place, but would be amazing.
27 paid for 2/3rd of the buy-ins just half of the time, instead of 3 of 4, and only up to 100x prizepool max, since more would scare recreationals too much to make sense for the Amaya-ecosystem...
Even SnG regs would love this format, given how dead 180's are nowadays, I guess.

Why are they doing this ?

nah, it used to be 60k. You must be new

it's just that people love getting raked for rebuys.

Sunday Splash @ 6.30 ET - 10k$ gtd was Sunday Spark w 30k gtd at 4 ET earlier
Saturday Splash with 15k$ gtd was 80k$ earlier

180 Turbo Zooms would definitely be a lot of fun, with exact same structure.

Full Tilt had it back in the day it may have been 135 man, and it was fun playing the structure. FT used to be deep.

zoom 180s sounds terrible to me

to give sngs a boost just do the golden sngs again or some type of sng promo that isn't complete crap

zoom 180s would prob just kill all other turbo 180s completely D:

Is Luke alive? I know I have been hard on him.

C'mon Luke self-resuscitate, rub some dirt in it- and help us fix this schedule, pls.

We need more micro MTTs still, same issue since day 1. Let's gogogogogogo!

Just can't have that much money at a final table. It would be uncalled for.

Wow pretty big divide on zoom 180s. Someone mind writing a definitive pros/cons list so I can make a more informed decision?

Please no zoom 180 mans it will just turn into zoom hyper 180 mans with zero other zoom/180 man options. Amaya clearly just wants $$$$ under any cause they don't care about the future of poker this is a bad idea imo.

did FR just remove their biggest weekly tournament, the 400euro psko on thursdays? it made the guarantee last week, why cancel it, it was by far the most fun tournament every week, a big buyin psko 6max, whyyyy

Also never understood why FR had this tourney and ROW stars didn't. A 530 (or 320) 100k psko 6max on ROW stars on one weekday would crush. If i were running the schedule I'd just put it on thursdays with the thrill, when all the highstakes guys are already on. Just trial it for a week or two, don't even put a guarantee on it if u don't wanna take any risk at all. So far adding tournaments around your 1ks w/the minis has been a giant success agreed?

Regarding Zoom 180's:
Grinders would hate it (hard to multi-table), recreationals would love it (not much waiting when single-tabling), I guess.
I currently make the transition from reg to rec...
