+1, would definitely play something like this if it was a decent buy in/ guarantee.

1. Late Reg levels ex.21lvl are idiotic. The tourney drags out like a mofo
2. Pocket Jacks are Playing with Fire. Busted two tourneys with it today to higher pocket pair QQ and AA .... JJ Never Win, When i play live i dont usually run into higher pocket pair as frequently as ive seen on ACR
3.So far ACR MTT's are decent the buy ins are big for the prize compared to other sites Feels like Absolute Poker in a way. Lots of Sharks..... or bots cant tell

I really like the addition of NLO8 tournaments to the schedule. Played one last night, didn't even cash, still had a great time. NLO8 hypers are very popular on Pokerstars so good to see you've brought them to America.

These turbo deadline structures have to be the worst thing I've ever seen on any site.

It doesn't seem possible that I pick 15 spots a day to shove into AA VS maniacs, but it apparently is. Variance sucks, get a bong.

for some reason the payouts are not showing up under the places paid in the tournament lobby. I cant see the payouts in any tournament

The $10 7.5k gtd that starts at 7:45 pm for Extreme Tuesday and Phat Thursday, why not run that tourney every night? Make it a 10k gtd for Tuesday and Thursday night.

Also please add a $10 Sunday special tourney. I mean you have a $10 10k gtd that runs Friday afternoon but you can't run one Sunday afternoon?

Was at FT of $30 Big10 GTD last night and I was final three with two players with identical names and a string of numbers following them. Seemed to be bots.

Does ACR care at all about collusion and/or bots? Have reported the most obvious cases of collusion where players are from the same location and chip dumping countless times, and ACR never responds to anything.

You will have to be more specific about their names, because there used to be a sports betting skin that gave away the usernames automatically. Did they start with bkr?

If they were bots, do you really think they would have identical names? There is a lot of dumb cheaters out there, but being that dumb would be hard to do.

You'd be surprised just how stupid / naive / self entitled the average online poker player is.

Having $10 tournaments that apply to 95% of depositors is too logical for this site. This company isn't interested in making money.

The next plan is to have a super high roller $5,000 buy in $50K guarantee that will attract 8 whole new players to the site. We'll probably see that daily before a $10 $10K GTD daily. WPN only focuses on 5% of the market. That's been their business plan from day 1 and they don't seem to steer away from it.

You have to understand. The online poker industry is an industry run by ******s who have no clue what they're doing. From Pokerstars down to the small companies like WPN. The small companies follow the big companies and when the big company screws something up, it screws up the small companies like WPN.

Pokerstars just now caught on to the fact that they screwed up their MTT schedule in 2016 by eliminating a lot of their premier tournaments from 2009-2010 in the micro-stakes range. Tournaments that attracted the masses and occupied their time so their deposits lasted longer. Pokerstars is just now starting to repair their tournament schedule in 2016 after it was ruined by Black Friday. They are finally making it a priority to improve the MICRO-STAKES MTT schedule. That was one of their main goals for 2016. The MTT schedule on Pokerstars for micro-stakes players in 2016 is now far more closely resembling the MTT schedule in that price range from 2009-2010 in the golden years.

Since doing this, player deposits have started LASTING LONGER. Like the were in 2009-2010. It's time for WPN to follow Pokerstars and focus on the Micro-stakes MTT schedule. This company has been neglecting it for too long just as Pokerstars did.

I’ve created a new thread so that I can request to have the title and OP updated. I’d like to keep track of my current posts so they can be easily referenced.

So, what did we do in 2015?
  • Introduced Bounty Builders, our daily progressive knockout series.
  • Reduced the size of the main tournament schedule by over 25%.
  • Reduced the volume and improved targeting of tournament messages.
  • Gave all non-satellite tournaments guarantees.
  • Reduced the volume of MTT satellites while substantially increasing guarantees and the overall effectiveness of new satellites.
  • Adopted new approach for setting guarantees in daily tournaments. Guarantees now vary by day of week rather than being set according to the lowest performing day.
That said, there is much work to do in 2016:
  • A main schedule “reformat”. The schedule is still too large. It will be further simplified and altered in 2016.
  • The implementation of dynamic structures. I am seriously excited about the implications of this functionality! Imagine a typical freezeout but the levels are eight minutes in length, then 10 minutes once the money is reached, 12 minutes at the final three tables, and 15 minutes at the final table. The ability to lengthen the excitement of going deep in a tournament in a dynamic way has a lot of potential.
  • A focus on micro-stakes players. This is tied into the first bullet, but overall I believe this stakes level needs particular attention. This does not translate to additional promotions or branded tournaments, but simply a commitment to considering these players in more main tournament schedule decisions. This began with the updates to the Bigs/Hots and the addition of Bounty Builders.

I look forward to another year of debate and discussion with all of you!

Thanks,

Luke
Notice how this Luke guy acts as if HE was the one who thought the micro-stakes price range needed attention. Forget all about the fact the PLAYERS were complaining about it for years. He just thought of this all on his own. Doucher.

Yesterday while waiting for a pokerstars homegame to start and decided to review some of my hand histories and opened flopzilla and suddenly i message came across the screen, EITHER CLOSE FLOPZILLA or CLOSE POKERSTARS, It kind of caught me off guard esp since I have pokerstars.net only and wasnt even playing.

Would these kind of dectectations help some of the problems that people bring about use on non allowed software (bots etc) or are there easy ways around this type of detection

I guess Im wondering is pokerstars that far ahead in security and stuff or is this a smoke screen and the people are getting around it. As a player it made me think, hmm why cant the american sites do this too as for some reason It made feel the field is more level on pokerstars. I dont know, cause if it just gets people like me who open up the software while not playing and just had the client open while others get around it, then thats kind of false security

but i was impressed!

What are some good MTT to play on ACR? It seems like Bovada/Ignition have better tourneys all around. I'd like to start playing MTT on ACR but I am not sure which ones get the most action and are popular.

LOL. Your post demonstrates how much money this company has cost itself by neglecting the MTT schedule. Your post represents millions and millions of dollars in lost revenue for this company.

Tues and Thursdays have some good tournies:

$30 buy in $20K GTD

$66 buy in $30K GTD

Those tournaments SHOULD BE ON THE SCHEDULE EVERY DAY. That $30K is commonly hitting $45K with a $9,000 first prize on TUESDAY. Why in the phck is this tourney not on the schedule ON SATURDAY. If it can hit the guarantee on Tuesdays it can do it 7 days a week guys. Like, WTF?!



Nightly $10K GTD $30 buy in

Saturday has a $20K GTD $30 buy in

Night $15K GTD $100 buy and $50 buy in

Some $50K GTD during the week, as well.

Then all the bigger tournaments on Sundays.


This company makes bizarre decisions that nobody understands. Their tournament schedule should have about a dozen more daily options by now in the $10K+ range, but they are SLOW at adding new good tournaments. Most of their additions over the past 2 years have been HIGHER stakes tournaments that don't really apply to the masses and attract only a FEW PLAYERS to the site. None of the people who work for this company understand this fact.

Bovada/Ignition has the better MICROSTAKES schedule and that's why everyone plays there over ACR. MTT players get far better value on Ignition. They can play 3 $10K tournaments on Ignition for the price of 1 on ACR.

Minimum deposit with a debit card on Ignition: $20

Minimum deposit on ACR with a debit card: $50

So, Ignition can handle $10 tournaments by allowing people to access the site for less money. People don't want to deposit $50 on ACR for a $10 tournament. ACR has been terribly run the past few years and ignores the average player when it comes to scheduling tournaments. Most of their schedule revolves around higher stakes buy ins while only a few small stakes options exist. Making the site totally unappealing to the average tournament player.

Bitcoin is changing the game, though. Minimum deposits with Bitcoin are $10 on ACR and $20 on Ignition. So, ACR makes it cheaper to access the site with that. They just need to accommodate this aspect of the site with a larger MTT schedule for players depositing that amount of money.

Anyone that deposits $50 to play into a $10 MTT is a rec player and the minority of the traffic at ACR. I was skeptical about the whole Bovada/Ignition change and had taken my funds off Bovada last year due to the VIP bennies at ACR and made my first deposit last night of the buy in to the Heads Up event of the GSPO.

According to Pokerstars 95% of depositors only deposit $20 at a time.

If rec players are "the minority" of the traffic then ACR's business model is a failure.

Some guarantee boosts are in order. Plenty of tourneys are crushing their GTDs and the GTD is not increasing. WPN is growing and GTD boosts will keep it that way.

The GTDs don't need to be raised too much, but at least a little for the tourneys that would never overlay with a slightly larger GTD.

$33 5k BIG10 - Make it a 6k gtd
$33 10k BIG10 - Make it a 12.5k gtd
$21 1k hyper - Make it a 1.5k gtd, this is geting 80+ players most every time and 100+ too.
$66 4k - Make it a 5k gtd
$22 1k gtd - Make it a 1.5k gtd
$44 4k 8-max - Make it a 5k gtd
$22 1.2k turbo - Make it a 1.5k gtd
$10.75 $400 gtd turbo KO - Make it a $500 gtd
Early $5.50 1k BIG10 - Make it a 1.2k gtd
$10.50 1k hyper - Make it a 1.5k gtd this tourney has been hitting 200+ players on the reg.
Early $11 2k - Make it a 2.5k gtd
$11 2k NEW - Make it a 2.5k gtd
$5.50 150gtd - Make it a 300gtd

Hopefully see the $11 7.5k turn into an $11 10k soon.

I'd say remove anything less than $5K and replace it with $5-10K's. It's just silly having $500-$1,000 on a site ranked #6 in the world.

Nobody wants to play in anything less than $5K for an $11 buy in.

$5K $11 Re-entry NOON every day

$10K $11 Re-entry 6:00 EST every day

You could probably do the $11 $10K Re-entry every day at 2:00 EST, as well.

That way the average player has 3 solid options throughout the day at various times catering to multiple player pools around the world.

Yea, when the min deposit is $50 on debit cards it's impossible for it to be even remotely similar.

At least they have $10 min Bitcoin deposits...
10-29-2016 , 05:26 PM
if I worked for the site - nee

I'm pretty sure you do work for the site. Because, you don't know anything about online poker.

No poker player would ever argue against the addition of more tournaments on the schedule that could provide them with equity. Which, leads me to believe you actually DO work for the company and it explains your desire to defend the schedule so irrationally.

A real poker player would be all about additions to the schedule, but not you...

IS that you Winning-TD? lmao!

I think I just found TD alt account on the forum. Funny.
