Thanks guys, just had a short conversation with my buddy who plays online on the NJ sites (and Live when he can) just to keep collected. Just gonna try to make the best decisions I can and hope I run just as good now as I ran bad this week Whatever happens I can handle it, and the fact that I won this seat means it wipes out a considerable amount of my downswing even if I don't make it to the Final two tables - as my ABI is around 40 and I'm freerolling this one.

Had a pretty brutal grind today too, including stone bubbling a few and then a total meltdown in the warmup for just a mincash when I was CL or top 5 for the majority of it.

Still in the positive for the day though, and still have the 10k hyper KO left. Didn't play the mill, closest I got was one of the $5 hyper 1 seats, but it ran past late reg. when Cs told me first would be issued TB, I began to not care and took 2nd for $165 cuZ I didn't want the TB

I managed to get it in bad and suck out! Still under average though haha. 43/75.

I've been watching the tourneys since I'm looking for a place to deposit. I'm not a player yet on the site, so I defer to Winning TD etc. when it comes to my assumptions below.

But how is it that Merge, a network that according to Pokerscout is maxing out at like 10% more players than WPN (could be off but these are the numbers I'm using) just had their tourney series and as an example with $11 tourneys, didn't offer more than one guarantee below $20k with most around 20-25k and a main $11 at $40k? As far as I saw these didn't offer any overlay either.

WPN, in their series that ran at about the same time was offering $10 tournies for $2,400, $3,000 maybe one $4,000.

Please don't take the above as any sort of attack, I'm genuinely looking to deposit at ACR over Carbon but how can I when I'm a tourney player and I see that difference with what seems like similar player pools. Sure, maybe Merge has a more tourney heavy player base, I'm not sure. But I don't think it could explain the discrepancy. It seems like WPN could offer so much more but just isn't.

The $2,500s, the $3,000s the $4,000s - guarantees around there should be part of a regular schedule not some sort of special series. Maybe I'm missing something. As I said above if anything like that existed regularly (especially turbos ) you can count another player ready to deposit and go.

Cash out speeds is one plus for WPN. Merge is running a month and 1/2 behind. I've seen some cash outs processed with WPN in 24 hours (Bitcoin/Debit Card).. the longest I've seen was a couple weeks for a check.

I think it's good to play on both networks to spread the risk around.. because as we learned on black friday the day can come at any moment that one of them gets shut down or goes insolvent al la Lock. I think it's best to go 1/3 bovada, 1/3 wpn, and 1/3 merge.. but maybe that's me being naive.

That said.. a lot of WPN tourneys go over their guarantees, so I wouldn't really judge it by the guarantee, but by the prize pool at the end of registration. You can see completed tournaments in the lobby at the bottom to compare.

33rd. Felt I played very solid but lost a few key spots during the last 5 or so tables.
02-27-2015 , 01:22 AM
I don't know if this has been asked before but how come the 6-max tournament prize structures are the same as full ring? Basically final 9 of a 6-max tournament is a final table, which it shouldn't.

98% of what I should say about WPN would be positive. Well managed, great tourneys, fishy players, etc....but I just have one issue with satellites. I was playing a semifinal satellite to get in the Milly and upon winning it, I was immediately whisked away to the final satellite. Only problem was is that we were already on level 3 or 4 and one guy had already tripled the starting stack! Will we not ever be given the option to choose which satellite to play instead of being forced into "late regging" into one that's already started? Again, not griping, just an inquiry.

Thanks for all you guys do, WPN is really turning out to be my home. Keep up the good work.

I keep trying to register for the $100 5k guaranteed.

All other tournaments are working fine for me, but when I try to register it just gets stuck on "Please wait... Taking you to a tournament"

in the recently finished series there was a 160 WarmUp event pretty early in the day, at like 1 or 2 PM.
as a euro player i enjoyed that tourney in that particular timeslot since i can only play the early 215major, wich is a nice tournament too.
do you think you can give it a try to run it outside the series too ? i see a decent amount of euros jumping in that 215 euro major too and was thinking that ppl would jump in the warmup too

cheers

this! The schedule is far too dry earlier on, prime-time is a poor-time to play on True.
03-03-2015 , 10:38 PM
Decided to play the 10k GTD 28+2 tonight for the first time in a while, noticed it has a prize pool of a little more than 15k.

I don't know if that's been happening regularly, but if so, can we get it increased to at least 12.5k again? A few other tournaments need increased GTDs as well.

Why do all of the 6-max tournaments payout as if they are full ring tournaments?

I don't play 6-max but I've been thinking about trying it, and I'm very interested in tournament structures. What do you think is wrong with 6-max payouts?

They payout exactly the same as a 9 max structure, meaning the top 9 all get pay jumps, it's the same with all of their tourneys including 4 max and all that.

more of the $17 satellites to the 8k $162 as it gets closer to the tournament would be cool
03-15-2015 , 08:36 PM
Please consider changing the nightly $150 to a turbo. You have ZERO high buyin turbos on your site, and as is this tourney is already struggling. I guarantee you the prizepool will easily be $10k plus on a nightly basis. Give it a try!
03-17-2015 , 12:28 PM
Once again the $150 had an overlay, and I know this will eventually lead to another cut in the guarantee. Clearly in its current format its not an appealing tournament for players. There is player demand for turbo tournaments. Can you give it a shot for a week and see what the turnout will be like.
03-18-2015 , 02:10 AM
I would play the 150 if it was a turbo.
03-19-2015 , 10:30 AM
I kinda like the structure in the 8k. 10 min blinds are good for us who have to work the following morning.
03-19-2015 , 10:46 AM
Not that I'd play it every night, but I prefer the 10 minute levels (on nights when I satellite in.)

IMO the schedule DOES need a mid-high stakes Turbo later at night. At the same time I question whether it even needs a 160 dollar nightly.
03-19-2015 , 11:15 AM
bring the 4k 22$ 6 max back

cut the 160$

bring more cheaper tourneys to the schedule to attrach people, I feel less and less players in the mtts

make the 15$ 25k a daily tourney

you gotta put some cheaper tourneys with bigger guarantees, plus the 10k starting chip shuld only exist in the 215 and higher events not in a 15$ torney
