Theee games need to be adjusted bigtime. Im a winning tourney reg and really dislike them, because i feel its a waste of time.

I feel like putting up a buy in, where the majority of the time i either lose my buy in, or breakeven. the small amount of times i actually FT It will make it worth it obv but i feel like im investing so much time to breakeven at best.

IF you guys made the mincash like 4x the buy in i would like it alot more

Just played the 10K Guaranteed Streak Tournament. It was terrible. I min.cashed then I just went super aggressive... for obvious reasons,lost for obvious reasons. The tournament said 8max but was 9 person tables. The tournament overlayed for more than $8,000 dollars from what I recall. IMO garbage tournament. More MORE Omaha,6-max,Short Stack,hyper turbo,turbo,Super KO,KO,Max entrants tournaments around $5-$35. Just copy pokerstars progressive KO's.

More Sats. Also

So I "cashed" winning a $22 tourney ticket. When and where can I use this ticket? I don't see another streak tournament in the lobby.

Someone is going to win $8,259 from $22 in the $30k Streak. Can't see how someone can complain about that.

And you say you play tournaments for a living?

If you don't like a tournament you don't have to play. The complaints for these are absurd

How about this complaint? They were announced a week ago and talked about since then I still don't know wtf these things are. Some say it's a satty then you got dude with a gun in his avy talking about you can win $8k from it. I'm not gonna study up on some new tourney type and I doubt many recs like me will either. I'm just as confused as my grandparents staring at a computer screen in the 90s.


It's like these days you have to study up on any new type of tourney/sng that they put out and I'm just like **** that noise I'll stick to cash. I'd say make it easier to figure out what these things are about. At this point I have no clue what these tourneys are about with the conflicting info I'm getting and I'm not gonna go read some **** on a site to figure it out, I wait for you fine people to tell me the what's going on and the info I'm reading isn't clearing it up.

lol yeah stick to cash game. leave this format for players with real skills that dont need bankroll to supplement.

but yeah its just a freezeout tournament thats top heavy payout to be short

would be nice to navigate through 1500+ players which was the goal instead of 500 players x 3 buyins each. these games would be really nice if they pick up.

Ok I think that clears it up a bit, I thought these were just satties until I guess this morning lol. Thanks!

firstly i want to clarify this: I AM A DIE HARD WPN FAN. this is the ONLY place i tell everyone to play. i tell all my us based friends **** ignition boycott their **** network come play wpn etc. i love the network and everyone i've met and dealt with at the live stops. this is not just madkid FUD, because i love the network.


i think these things could actually possibly get off the ground if they were approached from a better standpoint. it seems like the meeting that took place regarding them only happened with management who doesn't actually play mttz / without enough input from regulars in the mtt community.
i think they should only be tried / introduced / experimented on at lower buy in levels with lower guarantees. this prevents the network from stomaching huge massive overlays (like happened yesterday). it also gives some time for the playerpool to familiarize themselves with the new format, and they can then provide feedback regarding it. i also think the flat payouts need to be AT LEAST buy in back + 20% or something along those lines. like if it's a 265, make the min cash be a 265 ticket AND like 55 tourney bucks. or 100. or literally anything that allows the players who 'make the money' to actually make some money. this provides incentive to actually register these things. it would be a negligible amount to shave off the top 8. 63% for the top 8 is actually remarkably standard, there's nothing top heavy about that as an event that had 4000 runners will still pay ~53% out to the top 8 players, and a tournament with 500 people would pay out ~58-60% under most current pay out structures on the network. can check the structure in the lobby adjusting how many entrants and adding up the %, almost every event (even on-demand sngz) that i could find will pay at the minimum 53% to the top 8.

it is an immensely beneficial idea for the network, you are using cash (that you could withdraw) in order to register for these tournaments. when you invariably cash for break even (even top regs only FT something like 1-5% of the time) you now have effectively converted that cash into a network bound restrictive mtt ticket. you can't cash out tournament tickets. from a business standpoint, this looks really good. accepting deposits, not processing withdrawals (because now a bunch of the networks marketcap is reserved for mtt tickets) people go 'ooh, ahh' at the big pay outs (which aren't big actually.) personally i think T$ is a vastly superior option as you can't cash them out either kinda like Tethers and they're still only available to use on MTTz. the idea being htat these tickets will eventually clog a players cashier and they'll effectively have no choice other than to register an exactly priced event later on. also compartmentalizing that players bankroll into specific bullets thereby limiting the amount of games they could conceivably play elsewhere, paying rake (think daily guarantees and cash games, didn't mean elsewhere as a diff network) this is even less friendly towards recreational players, and an annoying inconvenience for every-day regs. plus, there is literally no incentive to play these events. i think even the top pros would struggle to get an ROI over like 10% or 20% in these things sustainably. 2% (or less for rec's and bad regs) of the time you register it you FT and profit, 50-60% (or more for rec's and bad regs) you get 00z, and the other 35% you actually cash the event, you break even. getting obliterated on your hourly. but it's not breaking even, because you can't use that cash for ANYTHING other than another same priced event. you can't take the 265$ you win and fire some 55s (rake) and some .25/.50 cash games (more rake), like many might do. guarantee that sustainable ROI in these things is a fraction of what it would be in regular structured mttz where you actually can win 10 buy ins for getting 15th and 3 buy ins for getting 80th etc etc etc etc. literally where is the incentive to play that from the players perspective? i can identify like 10 incentives beneficial for the network and nothing but lame inconveniences for the players.

i think these could work out maybe, but you just can't start doing them in something like the absolute biggest events you plan to run. that 265 200k yesterday would easily have run and broken the guarantee (imo) if it was a regular structured event. i personally would have fired at least two bullets at it, and my main horse would have as well.

When and for what tournaments can I use my $22 streak ticket from this past Saturday?
01-11-2018 , 01:56 PM
There will be the same one on Saturday and they will be starting Monday.
They have been the biggest pain in the world.. We are close however to fixing them all
01-11-2018 , 02:03 PM
So I just pick when to play using my ticket? I don’t have to play this Saturday, right?
01-11-2018 , 02:23 PM
That is correct.

Would you consider the following...

Award T$ that can be used on anything or sold

Create a (in cashier) T$ converter so people can sell t$ back and charge a small % the house can then make a small fee by offering the service to its players

It could be more profitable for the site. Certain players could generate more rake then $ that is GTD if they wait and play the target

Another example if player spins into a event that does not POP you could award them T$ instead of cash

Long term players selling the T$ money back and playing more events rather then waiting for the tagerts could be profitable

BTW saturday was awesome

So I played the $5.5/$10K Streak tournament and won a ticket. I saw that it automatically registered me for the $5.5/$10K on Sunday afternoon so I unregistered and was issued $5.5 in tournament dollars. I then logged in today and see that my ticket/tournament dollars is gone. It says I used it during tournament number 8219292. Anyway to get that refunded to me?

Winning_TD i won a ticket to the 22$ tuesday streak. Is it possible to convert this ticket so i can play another 22$ streak, e.g the 8k guard which is running today?
01-17-2018 , 12:06 PM
If you get a ticket you can unreg from the next day and use them for something else yes
01-17-2018 , 02:09 PM
These are a sic vaule if you play poker to win! Dont be scared to lose a buy in

If you have a bankroll and you do not play these then you are a pusssy
