I wish WPN actually offered tournament poker. 3 hours late registration/reentry is not a tournament, it's like some kind of bastardized cash game/tourney mutant hybrid. And every single tournament offered is like this, you don't even offer a single pure freezeout. In my day if you were late to the dance you didn't deserve to get the girl.

damn, I had no idea Saved By the Bell was so intense....

^LMAO hahahaha

+1

Honestly I almost refuse to play anything but a turbo MTT because 3 hour late reggy is just way too long.

Also WTB Freezeout MTT

theres schedule a 215$ for tomorrow main event with 150k gtd

A daily 215 would be quite nice

also mini cages of 500$


this fr real ?or a mistake?

Currently playing mostly cash games on Carbon, I want to move back to tourney play, is there enough volume for a low stakes players (and a decent rake structure) to make the switch to WPN?

What do they got for HU SNG's? Turbos, non turbos, Etc?

regular, turbo and hypers

No.

I'd be playing some cash on WPN though for the rakeback

They have a brand new tournament schedule next month, so we shall see what happens. Currently there isn't enough to only play WPN tournaments.

when you get DDOS'd or w/e by this hacker extortion group during the $1mm tourney do you have a plan in place to pause the tournament if a significant # of players have connection issues?

Tilts me that you don't have final table skins for your guaranteed tournaments. Come on man that's bush league. I mean just render it a different color or something for gods sake haha.

Is there a way to sort the SnG's? I can't tell which ones I signed up for because they keep moving around...

Apparently you can't edit so here's another question, do SNG HUs not count for the Sit and Crush?

No to both questions.

From what I hear there is no reason to get excited about the new tournament schedule, it sucks too.

Thanks for the constructive criticism.

Anyone that i have sent the schedule to i have clearly stated it isnt finished yet and just to get some feedback.

@Winning_TD
I play tourneys on there all the time. What you guys really need is some better software, its really bad.
not necessarily in order, here are some things that would dramatically improve the gaming experience for both pro and recreational players:

-clean up your final table bubbles, sometimes an FT bubble breaks (10 players becomes 9 players) and still 2-3 hands are played before the tables converge!

-make lobbies adjustable in size, and also maybe make them remember where to pop up, nothing is more tilting than a lobby popping up right smack in the middle of my screen.

-the tournament tab opens up a whole new main lobby when I click it, so when Im done selecting tournaments I have to minimize 2 main lobbies instead of 1.

-When I double click on a tournament in the lobby, before the register popup comes there is a time delay that ranges from 3-30 seconds, please do something about that.

-river showdown rules are awful.
The way it is on winning- if there is no action on the turn or river, the best hand shows down first, regardless of position or last aggression. If there is action on the turn, and none on the river, the last aggressor shows down first, regardless of position. No other place in the world follows this method, I am pretty sure it is a programming issue that has just been ignored or at least un-noticed. I have even had some weird glitches in 3way pots where I end up showing the worst hand when there was no action on turn or river, this makes absolutely no sense and is unfair.
The way it should be- There are 2 general standards for river showdown rules. (correct me if i am not perfect on these, either imperfect rule would be better than what currently stands on winning)
A. (WSOP rules and widely used) If there is no action on the river, then the last aggressor shows first, regardless of position.
B. (not as common) If there is no action on the river, then the earliest position in the hand shows first regardless of action on previous streets. {I am partial to A as I think it makes the most sense, but that is only my opinion}
[I have seen it go down in rare cases at live casinos (usually caused by a live dealer confusing rules A and B) where B is the standard where last aggressor shows first if there was action on the turn and not the river.]
There are merits to both A and B, but something really needs to be done on winning where the best hand shows first + there are glitches creating anomalies where the worst hand still shows. Quality of hand should never dictate showdown order, only last aggression (most fair in my opinion) or, in the
case of no action on rivers, position.

-The lobbies always only show how much Money 1st-18th will get, your site has grown and sometimes 50 players are cashing, you need to update the lobby to show all cash amounts, this is something many recreational players are likely turned off by, and also likely contributing to why there are still so few recreational players on site.

-I never play rebuys on winning poker network. Why? First off, you cannot rebuy b4 the start of play, however you CAN rebuy after the start. This creates many situations on the first hand that cause me to either play a hand, win a minimal amount
and not be able to rebuy after. Be assured that this is creating deficits in the rebuy prizepools. The way it should be is, if I ask for a rebuy during a hand in which my starting stack was below the maximum stack to be eligible for a rebuy, then regardless of any result on that hand, my rebuy chips be purchased and added to the total stack at the end of the hand. also there is no autorebuy/autoaddon option, that sucks because sometimes when I want to rebuy, I miss it and I cannot enter the tournament again, this is also creating deficits in your rebuy prizepools.

-deposit limits, $150????!!!! please!!!! Increase this limit! I have a pro friend who took MONTHS away from the site becasue he could not deposit enough to buyin to the $215, think how bad that is! How do you expect recreational players to get into the action if you dont even allow them enough space to buyin to the 215 on an impulse? Are you trying to protect them from gambling on your website? The minimum starting depo limit should be at least $600 with the first increase being to $1200. The $150 daily deposit limit is abysmal and needs to be adjusted if you want to get more recreatinal players involved in this site.

OK I think that about covers everything. I prolly forgot to say something as I've gotten used to the worst poker software on the internet. I think this site has potential but I also think that a schedule change will not help as much as increasing limits and streamlining software. Bovada is still kinda bad but feels like pokerstars compared to your site, thats bad man.

I don't understand the showdown rules on this site... why can't I see what they had at showdown?

@winning_TD

Also, your bet bar is atrocious, I misclick the buttons often times when im trying to reach the slider bar. Have you ever tried to use the slider bar on your site? ever?
It needs to be in a better place and made bigger, I should not have to be a mouse sniper to find the bet bar.

I'm like 99% sure that if they had the last aggressive action and you call or check then you can see their hand. It's very likely there's more to it than that, but I'm pretty sure that at very least is true. FWIW they are working on changing the software so you can see mucked hands at showdown.

The rules on winning are like this.

In general, if you have a losing hand and the other person shows first, your cards are mucked and no hand history can be found containing the information of your hole cards.

If there is action on the turn (not checked down), the order of showdowns goes by the last aggressor first.

If the hand is checked on turn and river, the winning cards are turned over and the losing cards are mucked, regardless of position or last aggression. no information anywhere can be found regarding the mucked cards.

Please change this!

@Winning_TD
also 4max games have no preferred seat option.

also, sometimes when my timebank has 3-5 seconds left in it, my hand gets mucked. random times it happens i don't know what causes this, but its really tilting sometimes.


Another problem is stuff like this.

I posted the small blind of 250 and the big blind player was allin for 79, that is LESS than the amount of the small blind.
Why do I have an option to fold here? when it folds to me (which it did), I should automatically have my uncalled bet returned and have the big blind allin!
if i fold the big blind gets to double up for free while being allin which is unfair!
Yes of course im never going to fold here, not if im paying any attention, but maybe someone does not pay attention and folds there. It should be in the programming to auto return the bet to the sb and flip the cards.
