Bovada doesn't sync up their breaks. So, I don't give them business because of it. I think that's a terrible way to treat paying customers. Making it difficult to use the restroom??? Really?? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of in online poker history. Betonline does the same thing with non-synced breaks. So, I boycott them, as well. At this point, sites should be having synchronized meal breaks for MTT players of 20-30 minutes. They've been having a lot of technical difficulties lately according to their players in their thread, as well. That makes it even more unappealing.
WPN's software has been solid lately. The only problem I can think of was one client crash last night while playing 6 cash game tables, but I was able to return to my tables without any issues. I wouldn't even play in the $11 MTT's I'm requesting as I hate the structures. I just want more new players on the site in cash games and small tournaments are the way you attract them to the site. It attracts more fish to the site when you have big guarantees with small buy ins. It gives them bank rolls when they bink final tables and then they come lose them in low/mid-stakes cash games where I play. This increases profits for low/mid-stakes players. I don't even really play MTT's anymore (from time to time) because of how terrible these structures are on WPN. There's not enough money in the prize pool for me to be motivated to sit there for 10-12 hours. 15K
Compare to the structures to Pokerstars in 2009. You could play in $3,$5, and $10 rebuys that had $50-60K in the pot and only took 9 hours to complete. These structures on WPN force you to sit there for 10-12 hours for $10-20K and buy in for $10-30. Those are terrible stuctures. These structures chased away a lot of MTT regs from the pre-Black Friday days. That's why we don't play MTT's on WPN. We hate the structures. It's not the government's fault that WPN chased away a lot of MTT regs from the pre-Black Friday Pokerstars days. That's WPN's fault. These structures on WPN actually TILT me before the first card is dealt. The quality of my MTT play declined on WPN cuz I so tilted by their horrible structures and small guarantees for higher buy ins.
Pokerstars days in 2009= Pre-flop pushing early on with post flop play in the late stages.
WPN structures in 2017= A lot of post flop play in the early stages with nothing, but pre-flop pushes in the late stages.
WPN has it backwards. The post flop play should be taking place in the later stages of the tournament and that's not what happens.
I've been banned from Carbon...I think. I can't log into my account there anymore, at least. Even when resetting my password. Been a year, or so since I've tried to log in there. Plus, they're too small for MTT's these days. They ruined themselves by banning players and taking too long process cash outs. Which, is a shame because they had the best software easily.
