We don't have many of the important details yet like payout structure (effective rake and payout variance), blind-level structure (potential edge), SNC points (effective rakeback), or how registration will occur (table selection and collusion issues). Perhaps most importantly, we don't know the impact on traffic.

I'm just an observer though. (popcorn)

what happend to the $360 and $600 HUSNGs

did they disappear? please bring them back!

Can we get some consistency with On Demand respawn times? Games used to respawn every 12 minutes and things ran pretty smoothly. Then one day (I think following an update?) $3's started spawning instantly and $5's got bumped to 20 minutes. It's been a couple weeks since that happened and now I see that the $3's are taking ~33 minutes to respawn and $5's are still around 20 minutes.

33 minutes is just ridiculous because late reg for these games is only 30 minutes. So currently a $3 goes off, has 30 minutes of late reg, late reg closes, followed by a 3 minute period of nothing available in the lobby. This has to be a mistake right?

Am I missing something but I dont get why there is milly ods still in the lobby? Would it not be a good idea to start having wsop ods now instead of a tourney that is over?

Probably because 1) They haven't made the switch yet or 2) There is another milly coming up in April.

Agree, why not re-spawn nearly instantly and allow everyone to get more volume in..?

they don't respawn instantly bc it allows more players to reg in the currently ongoing sng. i think the 3 dollars could instantly respawn bc they take a while to fill up to the 12 players needed. the 5 dollars should be about 15 minutes to respawn though. those fill up in less than a minute and you would have like 8 simultaneous $5 sngs with 10-12 people...lame

I don't get why that would be lame.

Yea I'm lost as to how 8 sngs with 10-12 people would be a bad thing. When they let the ODs respawn instantly I was nearing 40 tables and even with a giant wall of $3 & $5 ODs in the lobby they still got stragglers late regging most if not all of the games. They should remove the massive multiplier from ODs and let them respawn like any other game and that would solve all these problems. No one wants to be playing a fastest finger contest (even though I've probably benefited as much/or more than anyone from the current OD format).

I apologize if this question has been answered before or if It seems naive. I was wondering if there is any software/ table ninja that works with WPN that will auto register you for open Sit and go tournaments with parameters that you can specify?

For example. If I want to continually play 8 tables of 20 Dollar HU 6 Max for 4 hours...something that would help me continually register for the next open tournament when one of my initial 8 are over instead of my having to go back and constantly search for new tables manually while also trying to keep up with the poker action. Such that I will always have close to 8 tables going at all times. Thanks for your help in advanced.

Is it just me or has SNG volume been significantly lower the last couple weeks for turbo 9 mans and OD's? During happy hours I used to get more tables than I could handle (20+) now i'm lucky to get 6-7 going at a time during HH even when I add DON's. Did everyone move up or something?

^^^ - Everything is filling slower imo not sure why people are just not playing as much or whatever it might be.

That's a shame and hopefully it's just a short-term reduction in volume. I've noticed 3-4 high volume regs missing recently, hopefully they're just on spring break or something.

Thought the 2.5k should have been spread a bit as there's not much incentive for players to move up unless they're going for top 10.




Edit: Also, not everyone has time or wants to play the SNC MTT. They would be better off converting some of those seats into cash prizes.

how do the husng bots sitting algorithm work? won 3 flips a few days ago vs mfg and now he doesn't sit me anymore. maybe just a coincidence and hes been running bad or something

Do you want to 8 table $20 HUSNGs, mix hu and 6max, or play hu on 6max tables...I couldn't for the life of me figure it out

But for real no there is no sng-sensei like tool for WPN. Best thing I've come up with is to have one of my mouse buttons function as the enter key within the client to handle all the pop-up/prompts when regging.

regged a HU hyper, popup said no money in my account, checked my cashier the buyin for the hyper was taken. called support and they are looking into it.

havent played in a bit, hows the SNG traffic going now?

WPN CEO announced that DONs will be removed after Jackpots are launched (sometime next week).

weee, great news

So is the regular SNG traffic affected by the new Jackpot poker games? Have ppl not been able to get as many games going?

It's a combination of things from the elimination of the SNC reloaded added money, no more DONs, and the 9 man traffic was just dying slowly even before these things went away.

Jackpot Poker could help revive the traffic of 6 and 9 man sngs once it contributes to SNC because if the amount is worthwhile people might play many of those over Jackpot Poker SNGs if they don't care for those so both Jackpot Poker and other SNGs could thrive.

Quite on the contrary, grinders will discover that JPs are the fastest SnC point generators and they'll have fewer chances to top SnC if they mix traditional SnGs in, so they'll start loading JPs only. Besides, recreationals will flee to JPs even faster because they like the gamble.

At all the sites where lottery SnGs have appeared, they've made the traffic of other SnGs both smaller and less soft.
