I'll make a deposit and start playin if you add some Mixed game MTTs and SNG's, good to hear that's in the plans. (copy what Pokerstars does in that area HORSE, 8-game, Triple Stud imo, FTW)

can you do something about the tournament lobby. I would like to have more than one tournament window open. I hate have to keep going back and try to find the tourney i am in so i can see how many people are left.

9man STT KO structure. Stars/Carbon both have good versions to copy

I believe there will be a direct link to the tournament lobby in the table layout at some point and / or an info graphic with stats, for now there is also the pop up window in the main lobby under "Game Info" -> My Tournaments to get faster access.

Please change the antes if you haven't already. I played in 2 MTT's after the software update and it shouldn't take antes from each player one at a time, it's annoyingly slow.

Wednesdays 15k should at least be run Wednesday-Sunday.

More $12 fo 1k gtds

$50 10k should be run along with the nightly $25 10k

we need a nightly high roller event

dont start all tournaments at the top of the hour.

Varying buy ins for rebuy tournaments would be nice instead of only having $6 rebuys (and one random $4 rebuy in the AM).

I know 6max tournaments aren't super popular but sprinkling in a few of those per day would be cool as well.

- Link from the table to open tourney lobby

- More satellites, not just the $.50 and .90

- $500 Sunday major

- More tourney series(4 a year)

- Montly mtt leaderboard. Don't just reward cash game players

i currently can not play mtt's on bcp because of the combo of late reg. and everything being a rebuy/add on. and i'm not rolled online to consistently play the $11s/$22s+ that others ask for.

those micro buyin mtt's get hundreds of players on carbon, and even more on weekends.
+100 to all of this! ...and welcome!

With some improvements WPN can definitely become the number 1 US facing site. I truly believe it is already the most trusted.

I really agree with adding more lower buy ins. This is not good just for players with small bankrolls but it also helps midstakes and even highstakes players get in more volume.

I cant find any 2-3$ micro tourneys that's not a satellite anyway can you put up 3or 4t reg micro tourneys a day a lot people would play them .
07-31-2013 , 10:19 PM
Is there an estimated time table as to when we start to see some of these changes?

I have a hard time believe that the stt's will get too popular without improving the mtt schedule first. Just my opinion though

Point taken and not 100% disagreeing with you...
But it is alot easier to fix the stt's 1st then figure out a better schedule. As you could imagine its not the easiest thing in the world to fix a schedule that will be excellent..

There are still alot of improvements coming with the software and as ive said please be patient, we are working hard to improve everything..
08-01-2013 , 03:05 PM
Change something with the info in MTT satellites. I have no idea how to figure out which satellites are awarding entry to which events. Listing the ID number of the target MTT is useless if I have no way of finding an MTT by its ID #. If I'm missing something, please point me in the right direction.

Some possibilities:
-Have a direct link target MTT in the satellite MTT lobby.
-Include more specific info in satellite lobby i.e. "awards 3 seats to $20+2 $1.5k at xx:00 et"
-List ID #'s of tournaments in MTT lobby

I don't mean to sound rude. I enjoy playing on the site and haven't been critical of much. Without violating protocol, can you be a little more specific with your posts. I feel like I'm reading imjustShane responses from the lock thread. Super general and vague. I think it's great WPN is looking to change/improve. But until I get a general time frame (very soon is not a valid response) or outline, it's super tough to get excited about anything.

Can you help me get excited?

I have to disagree with this point. I find that enough of the sit n go players on WPN don't play many tourneys and some don't play any at all. I think the issue is that the sit n go players and mtt players are separate and improving the mtt schedule will just keep those mtt players further away from the sng lobby. I'm not sure how WPN is going to attract players to play SNGS when the player pool is so small. They simply need more players and in the environment we live in today with online poker that isn't going to be an easy task.

The Sit n go lobby could definitely use some changing and fixing though. For one, what happened, to the 9 man turbo sngs? They seemed to have disappeared and those are the only sngs I play for the most part. Also does the network no longer offer a sng promo every month? I remember when they started that but it seems to have ceased to exist?

They removed 10max tables thus I'd say this is very unlikely to happen.

When a tourney has a 1 - 2 hour late registration period, don't cancel the tourney when the "minimum" entrants isn't reached before the scheduled start time. This is killing the morning tourneys, which if they go off, never have a problem meeting the guarantees. I have been registered for several this week that got cancelled one player short of the min requirement.
