I like the 1 max re entry idea. Doesn't comproimse the tournament, but allows ACR to keep higher guarantees.

Understand the ROW starting time issue. Just sucks that there was a Satty almost complete to forfill the minimum

looks like the $88 streak getting canceled as well

love what the site is doing with the new schedule. But very dissapointing saturday for sure

+1 to one reentry
I thought you were the one that hated overlays and tried to help them save money? No doubt this format goal is way too high but they wont last forever so just take advantage of it before it gets adjusted.

Click prize structure, it's a SKO so half the buy in. $150 KO

Please make the Thursday $320 that used to be a KO a KO again too, please.

I'm a working professional with kids who spends 45-50 hours a week at my job. I play when I can but I just don't have the time to enter a tournament with 5 hour late reg that will play 12+ hours on any day other than Sunday and even though I take that into consideration once it gets to around 3PM. I'd love to donate in these during the week as well but that's just not possible.

I will say I've only been on the site a few months and I do love seeing the big prize pools again. I've been playing online since 2005 and hearing of these prizepools did bring me to the site and playing again after Black Friday. Hell, I may not be who you are catering trying to get to play at all, but I make a decent living and have the recreational funds to donk away in some MTT's, but I need them to last 8 hours if I get lucky and not 12.

+1 to more tournaments with an hour or two of late reg

what do we gotta do to get some satellites into the warm up today? what is happening to all the satellites?
01-21-2018 , 12:06 PM
If you win two MDS satalites in the same week what happens with the second win if you are already registered? t$? real $? ticket to any mds? or second entry only usable on that weeks mds thus not really worth trying to obtain a second?

PLaying on a MAC

does anyone else have an issue where you click time bank (I have the setting to auto engage it) but it still mucks your hand at countdown?

is this a known issue?

You get tourney bucks that can be used for anything.

Mac software is barely playable, download a program to run Windows until the new software that is browser based. I tried to play on the Mac software 1 time and 1 time only, worst poker software I'd ever seen in my life.

Big10 1k FLHE has the blind/betting structure all messed up again. x5 betting
I'm guessing the tourney will be gone tomorrow anyways.

This is an issue I reported within a month of the Mac client being released back in October 2015, and apparently it is still yet to be fixed. What's especially annoying is that it doesn't always not work, but sometimes comes and gos between or even within tournaments!

Never thought I'd say there is too many new tournaments/higher gtds but there is.
01-21-2018 , 08:58 PM

Yeah overlay all 3 times. Many other overlays everyday. They pumped in too much supply without the necessary daily demand.

Except it got more than last week? They also missed a 100 seat sat from last night.

The problem with the entire schedule is the sats. You can't just throw a ton of big buy ins onto a network that hasn't really had them and expect not to get overlay. Fix the sats, fix a lot of the problems.

It's also the first full week of a new schedule, it'll be fine.

I also think the bigger guarantees need to be differentiated better in the lobby. The cage is blue, the million stuff is the awful eye crushing red, the sats green, and then everything is just black. With the OD's and sats in the same lobby as the MTTs it makes it very, very hard to see what's going on. The OD's are especially obnoxious considering the filter doesn't work to take them out, which is absurd.

I agree the satellite schedule is a mess and should be simplified yet added to. Every event over ~$20 should have multiple satellites. Offer a couple with a 5+ seat gtd. Also, single/2-3 table sitngos should be offered for these events instead of all the hypers that hardly run.

I still think they added a few too many new events all at once instead of phasing them in and letting folks get used to them a couple at a time. Its always exciting when a new event shows up on the schedule but when something like 10 new events show up its a bit overwhelming.

People are also going to go broke a lot faster and although crypto is gaining more popularity, most recs still aren't literate in it or don't know about it and with the high fees and multiple steps you have to take, most are not going to reload over and over.

Why is the Warm Up 12 min levels? With the GTD at 200k now you'd think 15 would be the norm. The play with 50 left was so shallow for everyone. Only a few people had 40bb

Agreed. I checked the tournament lobby out over the weekend, and it took me a few minutes to find the tournaments I would be interested in. It's terribly unorganized and extremely off putting to anyone who isn't used to it.

+1

It's kind of silly that some of the micro buy ins have better structures than some of the bigger buy ins. I get having a faster structure early, but you gotta adjust the blind jumps deep. Even if you left it at 12 minutes, which I'm fine with, the jumps deep are just crazy. BParis, who has over 10 million dollars in tournament cashes won it yesterday on Twitch and had nothing but bad things to say the entire time.
01-22-2018 , 11:08 PM
What is the reason for not having antes at the early levels? By not having antes from lvl1 (or at least when starting stack is 100bbs), you are missing out on a big number of entries imo.

I asked about 15 people, ages about 20-40, what they knew about Bitcoin. The top answer was, "What's Bitcoin?" When I explained it, many of them responded with, "Is it legal?"

Poker Cliff you mention you like deep stack tournaments. First off, in that example you gave... busting 7th place after 6 hours for over 3000 players in a tournament... that is not a deepstack tournament. That tournament you played probably lasted 8 hours or just a bit more. Most tournaments should not last longer than 8 hours. If a tournament has 3000 players and lasts 8 hours, thats pretty decent.


If you want a good example of a deepstack tournament... imagine a tournament that lasts 10 hours... and has say 500 players or less. That is a REAL DEEPSTACK TOURNAMENT. I give you a good example. I know you can't play on 888poker but they have these 22 dollar 5000 dollar deepstack tournament... 30 dollar 5k deepstack and a 12 dollar 5000 dollar deepstack tournament... these are like 300 players, 250 players and like 500 players etc. These last close to 10 hours. The ones on WPN with those 5 hour late reg are basically deep stacks because look at how long it last. I mean 5 hour late reg... i mean so it takes 6.5 hours to make the money in these?


However i notice the tournaments that have late reg for 3 hours... well those aren't that bad. But obviously it takes longer to make it ITM than say a tournament on stars or partypoker etc. Im also pretty sure bodog tournaments didnt take long to make the money as well. So thats why most ppl do not like playing deep stack tournaments. When they have those tournament series... with long levels, those are basically deep stack since well they take 2 days to finish. There isn't anything wrong with having a few deepstack tournametns on the schedule but the thing is most would not be in favor of it.
02-04-2018 , 05:13 PM
Is tabletamer the only software that can be used with WPN if they want something similar to like tableoptimizer on stars?


Also can someone tell me what are the benefits of playing on wpn compared to stars/partypoker etc? I havent played on wpn mainly because many tournaments they have seem to be 5 hour late reg... but the others are 3 hour late reg which are more reasonable... but sites like stars dont have anywhere close to 3 hour late reg unless its a big event etc. Seems to take much longer to be ITM on WPN tournaments than stars orr party etc.
