It's fine but how is changing blinds going to stop it in any game/levels? Seating should be random. You guys are trying to change something that is impossible to change. I find is super annoying as well, I think it's rude and bad sportsmanship. Until you get rid of players that stall, what's the solution? I mean they have every right to use timebank to stall, It's just -EV IMO.

You could look at it the other way and realize stallers aren't very good players for the most part and adjust. Stallers and AFK people are easy to pick on. I don't want to go into too much strategy, but the AFK's are more of a problem than stallers if you are SS.

I don't understand about re-seating, are you saying put all the stalling players on one table? I mean i have no clue how you are going to get software to 'identify' stallers and move them. Not that it does any good anyways, if you are on the money bubble it's HfH.

The only thing stalling affects at that point is playing less hands per blind level, but there is no advantage/disadvantage to any one player.

Changed/add blinds levels, do what they want with it. Longer/slower blind levels means AFK people last longer.

hows about just re establishing some of the sats they had before the schedule change...

I dunno what's going on really, hard to follow all the flipping things around. RIP Smaller player pool games. Games don't run now that use to run daily.

There's way more value going around now than last year. They just lack some $1k-$5k daily buy ins. $1k-$5k would be high enough to keep the nits out but low enough for the low ballers to take shots. I think the site is ready to jump up to a higher level and bring in some super high rollers. Would be nice to get a daily shark rally going. That way we can put on a show for the low ballers.

So really not going to have sats to a $320 buy in? lol ffs........

It's no wonder they have been burning money all week, the incompetence is real.

Just when i thought you had turned a new leaf...

If only you knew what is going on you might actually be impressed.

I mean, is pointing out that you should have sats the entire day for your biggest buy in of the day negative? Plenty of us would grind them all day long, but they are never there until right before the target starts. I'll be playing regardless, but it'd be nice to get some fish in them.

I hope something good is happening with the sats, because you guys are seriously missing the boat the way you're doing it now.

Have been loving the schedule though, great work.

I'm OK with this, I just don't want to be left in the dust because they close all the smaller games and all we have to play is $20+ NLHE

Since I started playing in 2005 I've watched the parade of gimmicks that sites come up with in poker tournaments: ante-only, jackpots, SNGs of different sizes and at least 10 others I could think of if I wanted to take a minute to make a list.

A lot of poker players are always looking for shiny new toy, whether it's Bitcoin deposits, hyperturbos, or whatever else the cool kids will be doing next week. I've seen players in these forums jump right into the newest thing, then start a forum thread to try to figure out how it works--which of course is entirely backwards and definitely -EV.

Also, some of the new things aren't even new. For example, how is a 180-player SNG different than an MTT freezeout with about the same amount of players?

I just looked through the whole midstakes schedule and didn't see a single two hour LR that wasn't a turbo.

About 100% certain there isn't any besides the streak. They always put in little buy ins with no guarantee and no advertising and wonder why no one plays them.

Can we get some ante up tournaments in the new schedule at the $27-55 buyin level?

So the $100k GTD overlayed by ~$50k today, Millions are overlaying, as are numerous other tournaments... at some point doesn't this give some cause for concern?

No

Poker sites make lots and lots of money. Despite punting like $300K+ between a few mtts this week, would venture to guess they aren't losing much if any money. Even if it cuts into profit or goes slightly negative for a few weeks, what better advertising can you get? People will hear about the overlay and come play here that normally wouldn't takes a little time.

Milly barely overlayed when factoring in rake, btw.

Sighaments

This was with 8 mins to go btw

97 with 3 mins until 2:15 and they kill it, come on.

WHat just happened to the $265 $200k

Min 100 players to start. at 11:11am there were 97 players and it canceled the tournament. There was a satty already in progress that guaranteed 4 seats!

Why did it not wait til 1115 to cancel the tournament. Not a good move.

Right me and a few others were hawking the lobby sweating it, extra lame.

I was just about to click register at 2:12 as the 98th and the lobby closed on me before I could get in, haha

just so damn annoying when the cancel the Marque tournament of the day. Didn't make plans today so that I could grind this schedule.

Throws a big wrench in it when the biggest tournament of the day is cancelled.

Like cancelling the Sunday main event

I did not kill it or cancel it you will see these tournaments for the 265 will close reg a few minutes before starting as it shows in the above screenshot.. I did not cancel it.

Not insinuating that at all.

Just wondering WHY it cancels 3 mins prior to it starting? There was a satty w 13 players left and 4 getting seats that would have met the 100 person minimum

May i suggest for the bigger buy in streaks (which i like) they start LATER in the schedule. For example I was starting my schedule today with the $265. I was pre regged so didnt affect me. But someone else doing the same, if they are 5 minutes late. You get my point

in the above example, if this streak started 45 mins later, The sat would have been finished and the minimum would have been met.

Feel these tournaments starting a bit later in the schedule will help them run more often

the reason i made them this early in the first place was so that ROW would also like the time they started even though our player base is the US mainly i tried to put it at a good time for everyone. I think its definitely something i need to look at making it 1 hour later minimum. At the moment i am working because as of monday they will allow 1 re entry. For now only the 265 and i will work on the rest later

I guess I'm confused why every other tournament I've seen on the site cancels with a minute or so to go, but this one 3.

+1 to one reentry

You will see that in the 265's . Cant go in to too much detail but they will close reg slightly earlier than 1 minute before
