List of 8-Game fixes so far that everybody seems to agree on. I haven't had one person say they disagree, both in this thread and just talking to other regs in the games. This needs to be fixed at 20/40+ ASAP! Might as well add the changes to all of the limits, but high stakes really needs this. This will make the games more fun, and induce more action. It also prevents people from short stacking the big bet games. Stars agrees short stacking is terrible for the games (they made CAP tables, and raised the minimum buyin on other games).
1). Make the minimum buy-in 50BB in NLHE/PLO games.
2). Switch the order of the games.
3). Add antes to the NL/PLO rounds.
4). Make the antes slightly larger in the Stud rounds (Razz/Stud Hi/Stud 8).
I've e-mailed Stars and I hope everyone who sees this does the same . Just link them to this thread and add in your own thoughts (or just copy/paste this post). Hopefully a rep sees this and takes care of it ASAP.
these are mostly good suggestions, however on big bet sizes you're simply going to get the limit players saying the opposite and nothing is going to be accomplished (this sub-forum isn't really the right place to discuss imo.)
I think there are two solutions, either min/max caps or higher blind cap games. At present you have 30bb min for PLO and 40bb for NL cash (which is confusing) and there should be a cap of 100bb per pot as limit players always complain their results are mainly determined by a few large big bet pots, and at some point stacks do get deep and become disproportionate forcing them to sitout or leave. Alternatively, lets just have bigger bets but make it cap as the bellagio games used to be, so if youre plaing 100/200 FL then instead of 25/50 nl/plo have 50/100 with 30bb cap and everyone can feel happy to gambool a bit more. You guys probably hate these ideas obviously.
On the other points:
- definitely switch the order of games (think FTP did that?)
- NL should def have antes, not sure about plo
- 10 game is way more fun than 8 game
- antes are rarely more than 10% of bb anywhere, could maybe have them be 1/8 of big bet so $25 at $100/200
- HU tables pls, grinding mix games against regs is very boring.
- def do baucey/badacey too
Anyway, this should probably be moved to a better forum (internet poker?) and used as the suggestion thread for what we want to see on FTP when it returns as many of the ideas already existed there and they will be more open to change/experimentation. We can also then add additional requests like baducey/badacey and custom mix game tables (since most live games seem to be determined by the players) if a simple solution can be created to determine what games are played.
