How about enabling the option for us to play HU MTT's with our points as we can already do for the Sunday Storm/sunday mill etc tickets in the VIP store???

I have emailed them about this already as well, those 10bb + antes HU hyper MTTs are so awful.

i think theres some valid points in here, but I don`t like a lot of the `skin the fish for as much as we can` type thinking. I think we do deserve more promotions and adverts to the fish, and chopping buttons just make too much sense. I don`t think challenge player, add anopther table box, etc are good for the game tho and to me just seem predatory. Prompted to write this as we sit around playing with our winks again as another bull**** cash player promotion shuts down the site for everyone. wp stars, wp.

I think that simply having a leaderboard and adverts for HUSNGs would be so massively beneficial. Rarely someone who is new to online poker is even aware of husngs never mind tries them but when reading things like PG&C threads its always the same old story that they started off playing 6 max or FR but decided to try a husng and instantly fell in love with them. Getting new players into husngs, even if they only start playing micro stakes, will bring a lot more action to higher stakes as the money filters up through time imo.

I wanna see a promo like this, you cash in some $ and get a husng ticket.
A lot of players would cash in and try husngs, without the promo they would maybe never try this.

And I hate this fu**** cashgame promos.

just a little thing to add: the add a table feature could avoid being predatory by making it double blind, ie you click the "I want to add a table" button, but villain isn't notified at all--the table only pops up if villain also has the "I want to add a table" button clicked. I do think that some recreational players would enjoy being able to multitable if it were easy and double blind, and might somewhat increase reg vs reg action. Seems like +EV for everyone involved.

its survival of the fittest... and a massive rake machine for stars - so they wont change it anyway.

Please don't do anything that makes HUSNG lobbies resemble HU cash lobbies with a bunch of bumhunting ******s sitting out all day.

Didn't see this approach here, apologies if its a repeat - a variation on the "open more tables against same opponents" - what about an option for two players to sign up to multiple games (single table) - a 3, 5, maybe 7 game series played in succession?

also on the leaderboards - for the players that can't get high volume in might work to have a leaderboard based on win rate (still need a min volume) for the month - i'd never be on the radar on a leaderboard based on volume, but would like a shot at something....

great thread, look forward to some action from PS

Definitely an option to add more table, sometimes we both want to add tables, but the lobbies are jammed and it's not possible.

Speaking of which, what about adding more slots? They fill within less than a sec now (no exaggeration), impossible to get a lobby seat. I understand the fear of becoming something like cash HU table when there is a 100 tables and everyone waits for the fish, but what would be the harm in having 5-6 slots instead of 2? 2 is just not enough.

Fill in within less than a second? I guess you are playing 15s hypers or lower. True is that the traffic there is crazy. I just started playing 60s and you wait even 30-60s sometimes to get a person to sit you. Obviously sometimes it is a matter of couple seconds. I think that adding 1 slot to all hypers/turbos/regs would be enough.

oh, ok, my bad ... this one is right. Also it happens a lot, that regs sit each other because of lack of space

it takes long enough to get a game there if u have a lobby. more lobbies mean more time for a fish to join u and more bumhunting. so pls dont change anything with the lobbies at 200+
