I met a party rep at borgata yesterday during the wpt. We talked about some things quickly that I thought were wrong or bad with party. They are aware of twoplustwo but didn't really bother reading through everything. Its not the same person who is "party_rep" on here. Its a different person who said they will look at this thread and I can hand them the link in person and they will push it up the chain etc.

So post suggestions in this thread on ways to improve party. Tournament structures, payouts, starting times, schedule, whatever you think will improve the site and grind. I think we shouldn't clog this thread with deposit and geolocatiom issues and instead keep it to poker specific problems and solutions.

Do not try to unify the program in one window. Let things like settings and rewards pop up in separate windows, its pretty standard and expected behavior. Plus for some reason the program seems really clunky when switching between different sections like lobby/rewards/account/settings.

Payouts seem to be super flat also.

Reduce rake to make it competitive with WSOP/888

Add more(or any) GTD tournaments from the $20-$100 range. This is really puzzling why you have zero of these stakes in the schedule.

Be more specific. What times or tournament types would you like to see? How should the payout structure change?

A $50 $5k gtd would fit nicely at 7pm. $7.5k gtd would be ideal but I'm not greedy. $35, $70 should also find their way somewhere in the mix.

and here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...1&postcount=10

also, there was an announcement that the $200 50k on sundays would be moving to 5:30, yet it's still sitting in the lobby at 7:30...when is it moving?

Please change sng payouts from 60/40 to 70/30

WSOP has a nightly $27.5 R&A 10K gtd and $11 R&A 5K gtd every day with good structure. Party MTTs suck, they need more guarantee tournament with decent structure and lower buyin. I know there is one 5K guarantee on most days (not on holidays) but that is all i can see. The other one $100 with 10K guarantee is not worth the time.

Here is my wish list,
$10 R&A at 7pm 5K guarantee
$25 R&A at 8pm 10K guarantee
$50 at 9pm 20K guarantee

I like what Gags had to say along with others. I have asked that the 50k be earlier. WHY NOT 4pm. Most of us are used to playing pre BF so we all played the stars/FTP majors that started at 1, 2, 3pm Why start so late. I have to be honest. I'm a rec grinder, but don't play the 50k every week cause I have to work at 8am mondays. I had the FT a few weeks ago and finished 4th busting at 4am. Yesterday's FT didn't chop until 6:30am and they said there was at least an hours play still.

The other thing if you PROMISED / announced all kinds of Sat & Sun majors in November..... Where are all these other tourneys?

While the 6 man sng traffic is not overwhelming, I think there is enough to introduce 9 man sngs and maybe even begin trying multi table sngs, at least 18 mans to start. I would love to see those being offered, given right now it is only 6 man and heads up. Someone also mentioned wanting to see heads up hypers, which I think would also be a good idea.

How about he shows some ****ing interest in his product and customer base and reads the threads in a sub-forum THAT IS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TO HIS PRODUCT.

It's not the same party_rep who does the twoplustwo posting. The point of this thread is to hopefully get a word out and make it easier to follow suggestions.

top 3 changes, coming from someone raking 5k+/month

1. need a higher tier level for rakeback, there needs to be a 35% effective rb tier at least if not in the 40-50% range. also ridiculous that cash rb is 10% while you can buy sng tickets at 16% rb, just annoying that I have to play sngs to get full value.

this is coming from someone 4-8tbling 200-400nl, treat your best customers right seriously. one of me is worth dozens of micro grinders

2. tournaments need to start earlier blah blah competitive rake blah blah

3. rake on HU sngs is comically high, lower it to a competitive level

other than that can't complain. easy to get in games and start games, like the lack of waitlists. love the fish and mediocre/bad regs. keep up the marketing its working, just try to take care of the grinders.

Cash lobby should be changed to show individual tables at a given stake, how many players are seated, hands/hr, avg pot size, etc. At the very least, show the individual tables and players seated. Very annoying to get seated and see only 1, or 2, players there.

Also in cash, please expose players' cards immediately when all who are in the hand are all in. Ai preflop and having to wait for the whole board to be dealt before the result is known is very tilting.

I agree with pretty much everything in this thread. Overall I like the site a lot for being in its early stages and understand there is a learning curve to all of this. Some of these changes would make a huge difference in the user experience and help the company grow. These players and myself have put in some of the most hours out of anyone actually using this software and others over the years, so really can offer some good advice to help improve everything. Some of my issues/suggestions are:

-Fixing the issue with the client crashing all the time. I usually do preventative shut downs about once an hour so I don't get caught in a big hand and loose what I have invested. It seems to happen more often with more tables added, but happens eventually with even just one table. I've lost a lot of money due to this. There are a lot of other people in other threads having the same issue.

-More midstakes MTTS/less flat payout structure. Like stated earlier, there isn't really anything good in this range, where a lot of people would like to play. Also, the payout structure being so flat makes it hard to get excited to play these tournaments. I think a lot of casual players would be more excited to play if they knew they could play a $20-$30 MTT and win $1000+. The sng payouts are really flat too, its almost like a half regular sng and half double or nothing. It takes away from people wanting to go for the win. But I think having a higher 1st place for MTTs would really be appealing to all players, help bring them into your site and help keep them. The reason people play MTTs is for the possibility of winning big, even if they get lucky.

-Hyper turbos/mtt sngs. Personally, I really like hyper turbos and they seem to bring a lot of excitement to the casual player too. Having some 6 max and heads up hypers would be great. I understand its a balance though between adding too many games and having enough players though (the same with mtt sngs). Although, if you did run mtt sngs eventually, maybe adding it in the main lobby like Full Tilt used to do would help bring a couple more players to the games.

-Small issues with the client that make it harder to play. The filter seems a little tough to use. I always register for the wrong game. Like the WPT qualifier sng still shows when I'm trying to filter to 6max. There isn't a way to look for hyper turbo mtts. Its also slow and unresponsive some times. It would be nice to be able to have preset tournament filters that the player sets up, and can just click them to have them show up. And be able to click multiple preset tournament filters at once to show all the games you want to register for. Also, the tournament announcement pop-ups make things difficult. I'm sure this helps bring some players to tournaments which is great, but there has to be another way other than blocking the current action on the table for 10 seconds, which makes people get behind in all their hands and even time out on some tables.

-Heads up rake. I have played a lot of $50-$100 heads ups lately. There is not many people playing and its probably because of the rake. I know you can charge what you want, but I think more people would play them if the rake wasn't so high.

That's all I can think of, hope it helps.

Posting the posts gags linked

I agree with all of this. My one suggestion to you nowhere2be is maybe you should stop playing on that site? So the sngs are softer again for me?

try to get him to play more 200nl for me, I miss him at my tables

+1

Also definitely make the sunday major finish earlier, even if that means starting it earlier. I got 2nd one night at 6:30 am and then 14th the following week at 3:30 am. Kind of sucks when I'm really there to play Borgata mtts and therefore have to skip or register super late.

I would also like to see a lot more live tournament satellites onto the site. I don't know what tourneys you sponsor, but throw as many satellites you can to all sorts of buyins USA-wide from $300 to $10,000 if possible. I think most of the value in these sites for most people is just the bigger stuff, so if you could generate huge first places (such as the 5k for the borgata package, or even $400 for a $20 satellite), you might get more traffic and more rake.

Also stop being stupid and make everything normal rake. $100+9 instead of $91+9 is literally only costing you guys overlay. I'd say there are 0 people that would rather pay $100 with $9 rake instead of $109 with $9 rake to play your flagship tournament.

came in to basically post the same thing. please offer some more sng options!

Lots of good suggestions so far. I agree with everything.

those are good points though more sattys into live events would be great, would need to partner with various WPT stops since I would imagine you won't see sattys to wsopc obviously. also there has been tons of overlay in most of their sattys with one 6k fallsview package gtd so until they are hitting that small gtd I doubt they are going to go crazy with it.

Sunday needs alot more tournaments. Its the biggest day for every site and partys schedule is really weak. Right now it is loaded with hyper sattelites to ensure the 50k hits the guarantee.

All tourneys listed here have been "coming soon" since november. Time to add them and let them build up even if there is overlay in the beginning. People will start flocking once there is more than 2 tournaments worth playing and the overlay will disappear quickly.

Maybe a 30$ 3k to go along with the 100$ 10k everyday. There used to be a 10$ rebuy but its been replaced as a 20$ now. Im guessing cause there was alot of overlay always. Add the 10$ rebuy back and lower the guarantee. People will play it. But part of all this scheduling and not reaching overlays has to do with payout structure which has been addressed already in this thread.

cliffs- add more worthwhile tourneys within the 20-100$ level.
