Been playing on and off on the network for 4 years. great while in USA , but outside clearly better / more structured / better bonus sites out there. Here's my list of obv changes that would not only make me play daily , but favor players greatly.

1. Decrease tourney levels to 10 mins. 15 makes them too long.

2. Fix the time issue with breaks , sometimes its not a full 5 mins.

3. Ridic long late reg times. 3 hours plus+ , lol? so silly when your playing for 3 hours only have to have a 10bb stack fill up your table.

4. Ridic spread out prize structure of the tourney. ex the big10k . 1st place was only 2k 2nd was 1k. than 63 places paid just so Joe Shmoe can feel like he accomplished something in 62nd with a profit of 14$. make it more top heavy.

5. Run it twice option for PLO or NL. (without double racked pots)

6. Ability to See mucked/loosing players hole cards at showdown

I will respond on your points here:

1) We have many mtts in the new schedule running daily with 10 min blinds and 2 hr LR.

2) The breaks are a full 5 minutes, it just shows less time if a hand is taking longer to finish when the client clock reaches 55 past the hour.

3) 3 Hour late reg is something we need currently to reach the bigger guarantees.

4) The payout structure is flatter to keep money flowing in the poker economy.

5) Run it twice is something we also want but is way down the list in priorities.

6) This will be changed very very soon.

In my experience the breaks last from the end of the last hand to the top of the hour. So if I am in a hand that lasts until 9:57am, play will resume at 10:00am, giving me a three minute break.

I'm ok with that BTW, just wanted to clarify.

Being able to change the timezone that my lobby/mtt start times is in would be great.

Winning_TD,

I had an idea. For players who are heads up at the end of a MTT, what about giving them both the option to disable the hourly break (if software permits)? I know 5 minutes doesn't seem like a lot, and it's certainly best to get up, stretch and walk around at least 5 minutes per hour of sitting. However, after 5 minutes of not playing, I seem to always come back to heads up feeling out of the game far more so than coming back to 4/6/9-handed.

Of course, it might just be that I need more HU practice!

Why is everything that would be a positive change or update always come with the tag, way down priority list? Apparently what we want as players is less your priority.

What about tracking problems with sharkscope and pocketfives, I know it ain't them it's gotta be you guys? Can you explain why my sharkscope finally updated to only include one significant cash out of about 15 in the last 5 days?

Or is that priority at the bottom too?

skipping the break would be a great option, and a chop on certain tourney's would be nice too, sometimes when we are down to 4 id just assume taking a chop then playing another 2 or 3 hours after just playing 4+ hours with the late reg

It would be nice to have all SNGs using the same blind structure, with just the level times varying for Regular, Turbo, and Hyper Turbo. This would facilitate mixing game types and chasing Sit&Crush. Use the current blinds from hypers/ODs, 10% antes, and level times of 8 minutes for Regular, 4 minutes for Turbo, and 2 minutes for Hyper Turbo (3 minutes for 3-max Hypers).

Antes from level 1, preferably.



Thanks!
