Player Feedback for NEW MTT schedule 2016!! Player Feedback for NEW MTT schedule 2016!!

Playing the 20k six pack for the 1st time and the levels just went from 150bb to 160bb. 10k starting stacks. 12 minute levels. I edited because I thought we were 15 min levels. Still these jumps in levels are so small. Make a turbo with super small level jumps and it would play out like a slightly fast mtt and it would be unique. I used to love the old school full tilt structure compared to stars with shorter levels but smaller jumps. I think a lot of online players would agree.

Your satellites to the 10k Saturday start too late because the 10k starts an hour early on Saturdays. You didn't adjust the satellite schedule....

Good thing im drinking dank beers today. My favorite level increase after 5 ****ing hours of play in the 20k is the 400/800 (80 ante) to the 450/900 (90 ante). Can you guys stop this crap. Its 4pm pst and I would like to go out for dinner tonight, I started at 11am and 5 hours deep we are not itm, and doing the 800bb to the 900bb bologne. Enough is enough....................

To me there are a few major things that kill the schedule.

1. 15 min levels
2. Some early levels are meeningless increases
3. 1 and 2 combined create the problem of not enough people being knocked out in the early stages which is less re entries and shorter stacks later on.
4. So many different structures. For instance I am thoroughly confused why the 6.6 rebuy and the 3.3 rebuy have different structures


Did someone put a gun to your head and force you to play?

You should run a new promotion, the, "miss your happy hour, join our tedious mini blind structure increase happy hour."

This is the best statement of the entire thread.

I actually got some chips in the 20k barely itm. Going to get my monthly pedicure, grab some food to make for dinner, prep the food for said dinner, make said dinner, let it set for a while, go to my favorite bar and try a few new ipa's, come back, finish creating my dinner, then play my 30bb stack in the 20k.

i could be wrong but i have a feeling we are bitching at WPN TD, but i don't think he can't do anything anyway. i get the feeling like he wants to help us, wants to implement changes suggested by us, improve the schedule, but he's being micromanaged to hell & makes no decisions himself. maybe i'm wrong, but i think his boss stomps out any changes he suggests.

so let's direct our anger at whoever is his boss, who clearly can't manage a company that has a near monopoly on US-based online poker. i realize that times have changed and WPN will NEVER be what FTP/stars was in pre-BF US poker, but they could easily be at least 2x as big... they just never will with such an incompetent person at the helm.

Seems like a lot of people hate BIG guarantees in this thread.
03-28-2016 , 01:32 PM
Just dropping in to point out that although PokerStars NJ has shorter registration and levels on average, on their bigger MTTs (Sundays) they have 2.5 and 3 hour late registration.

In fact, and this needs to be addressed, they had a tournament that ended registration because it hit ITM. (obviously a mistake.) Anyway I just wanted to point out that, given a restricted player pool, even PokerStars think it needs long registration. (FWIW, at least on week one, they made it over GTDs fairly fast, but who knows what it will look like in a couple months.)

I'm looking forward to the day when states start regulating poker. Pokerstars will wipe out all these sub-par sites. Bovada has tourneys but I hate anonymous tables and non-synchronized breaks. Having breaks all over the place is a slap in the face to a tourney player. WPN is afraid to make any real changes because they blow so much money on the milly gtd. They can't even fix the basics, ex. hand for hand, broken tourney lobbies, payout info when late reg closes, and fixing the payout structure. No wonder the CEO stop going on twitch. A poker site of this size with all their screw ups is an embarrassment.

through talking to him several times. I can 100% say that you are correct.

How about some Million OD Satties that arn't r/a. The 44 1 seats, have like 10 to start it.

Also can we get a Mega Bounty Turbo/Non Turbo 3k starting 6 max BI from 22-109(I know the higher BIs don't fare so well from past results). Something fun like this later in the schedule would be nice.

you're also looking forward to a day where you play poker against only those in your state. think they'll have multi-state pacts? possibly, but NJ, NV have been around for a couple years, and they STILL haven't linked up.

you're also looking forward to a day where we're stuck with whatever licensed operators there are in your state, and if a small entity wanted to challenge them and start offering online poker, they wouldn't be able to due to the large licensing fees. sure, other casino operators in your state would be allowed to open their doors to online poker, but few will.

the best days were the unregulated days, and i think you're blind if you can't see that. pre-BF online poker in the US will never, ever return. thanks DOJ.

edit: also, if multi-state pacts ever expanded to the point where larger states like CA were linked up with other states offering online poker, it would still take YEARS for this to happen. so you're talking about something in the next decade at best.

Did the 6 dollar rebuy have the add on before late registration ended? lol who came up with that? I'm sure the people who bought in after the add on were pissed. Then when I went busto I couldn't rebuy during the late reg period. The prizepool missed the guarantee because of this exact reason. The new structure was a better change, but the add on/ registration timing was just dumb and confusing.
03-28-2016 , 09:24 PM
The new structure in the 3+r and 6+r is awesome. Better just the bug that didnt let you add on.
03-28-2016 , 09:39 PM
It did let me addd on, but it was before the end of late registration level 9 or something .So people could buy in late with 1500 chips. I'm unaware if the new entrants were able to rebuy 1500 more chips or get the 4k add on once they registered.

The description said 90 mins of late reg, and the lobby showed it like there was 2 hours. The add on happened after 90 minutes, but people could still reg for the 2 hours. Someone just missed something somewhere when they changed the structure.

The structure is far better, especially late, but it seemed like all the people who regged it at the last second were doing that today, and only getting 1500 chips. It will probably take a few days for them to adjust to 90 mins of registration, but once they do it should always hit the guarantee.

Well ok Mr. Negativity. I never stated that regulation would be anytime soon. I'm well aware of the state of ipoker in the US, so keep your lectures to yourself.
03-29-2016 , 08:28 PM
New 3.3 and 6.6 structures are good. 3.3 worked well today but looks like the 6.6 Add on started one level to early. We just did add on before level 9 started and there is still on level left of late reg
03-29-2016 , 08:44 PM
I love the structure on the rebuys, but there must have been a glitch. 11 people regged after the add on, which came early. I used to skip the 6r most nights because of the structure. Now I'll be playing it.
03-30-2016 , 01:31 AM
Payouts need to get changed soon. No reason to play for 8 hours in a mid stakes tourney and fizzle out in 7th for an amount that will make players wanna never play an mtt again on your sight.

The new structure of the 3+r and 6+r seems to be failing for some reason.
