Putting it here as well just to be official. Please fix the lobby filters. I have zero desire to sit in an empty table. I much rather sign up for a waiting list for a table or be able to specify that I want to sit at a table with at least 4 other people (for example).

The current system of pressing play now and hoping to win the table lottery (actually sit at a full table) is just a waste of time. Time that I could be spending generating rake for you...

unless i am missing what you are asking, there is filter option to not show "Empty Tables" on top left

Right, but currently it lumps all tables together on the main page. Even if you don't "show" empty tables I find that more often than not I'm brought to one when I click on Play Now.

This is time wasted for me, I much rather put myself on a wait list at a full table (or tables!) then sit and wait for others to join an empty one.

Either allow us to see all tables, or create an option that lets us join a table with X number of people at it where X is user defined. (Just because I prefer to have at least 3 people already at a table doesn't mean everyone else does...)

Just thought of another big thing.

The fact that the remaining prize pool in satellites (so the dollar amount that is less than the buy in to the target tournament) is split 50/30/20 for next 3 spots is beyond stupid. Give all of it to the bubble. When $340 is in the for satty to $100 in $20 satty and we go 1-3 gets ticket, 4th gets $20, 5th gets $12 and 6th gets $8 it is beyond tilting. 4th should get $40 and make money from the tourney.

Bumping this with some good news. I recently got in touch with a different person at party and we spoke on the phone yesterday for a little bit. What I took from the conversation is that there will be alot of changes happening soon at party. He wanted to let everyone know that this thread is being read and the suggestions people have are being viewed and taken seriously. I cant say anything specifically what will be changed (as I dont know either) but I was happy with all that he was saying when we spoke. It seems within the next month or two that alot of suggestions in this thread and new changes are going to happen on partynj. One of the main ones that he said is the 10k is going to change to be like the 50k with a better structure, earlier start time, and adjusted payouts. Also it will be added on sunday.

The 50k changing and the 100k being added once are two things that are just the beginning of alot more to come. If anyone has more suggestions and anything regardless of how nitty, keep posting in this thread. It will get read and will get some thoughts about it.

I think having a large tourney every so often on a sunday is a good idea. Something like a $500 tourney that you can register with a steps ticket would be great. a $500 with a $100k guarantee in place of the $50k once a month or even once a quarter would be really cool.

Rakeback would be great i play 100 and 200 nl 20 hours a week and pay redic rake. They should do a program with rakeback for black card members only. A certain % for black label and a higher one for black label elite.

I have played on the site for about 8 weeks..136.59 hours...43,142 hands...and I have paid 3260$ in rake...2 months 3260$...12=19560$ in paid rake

the traditional sense of rakeback just isn't going to happen in today's poker world/economy.

if you're the higher rankings of hte VIP program you're getting a lot of points, and you get discounts on many items in the store...this is a form of rakeback and you can get some decent deals on cash bonuses and tournament tickets

well that dosnt sound like the rebel young buck you were making yourself out to be lol. I agree rakeback won't be as lucrative as in the past for the timebeing but even 10% is ok in my books.

I can't be the only one with this complaint...

I have a bunch of $2500 and $5000 freeroll tickets but all that ever runs are $500, $1000 or $1500. It would be nice to be able to use them.

I think these are attempts to maintain as much money as possible in hands as many players as possible. Same applies to payouts structures. Especially tournaments with great buy-ins. That way more players with average (often at most) skills are more tempted to play. Also greater part of funds circulates in hands of larger quantities of players. Turnaround level for funds is grater, hence casino's fees.
Business is business but - from what I've learned at many casino's, also offshore - great part of such funds is redistributed among players in form of bonuses, higher guarantees and freerolls... It - again - work for benefit of casino as much as all players. If only because more new players are willing to join and more unskilled ones are willing to stay.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Fair point. Payout structure could still be fixed though as suggested to me last night by cicakman...just give refunds. So $20 satty, $660 in prize pool for $200 seats, give 1-3 seats and 4-6 $20. The $30/$20/$10 is just annoying.

$5k & $2500 Giveaway

i got an email saying i can deposit and get a 100% deposit bonus, released in four parts. Promo code is NJ25. I get this same promo in the client, but it says it's released in only one part. So which is it?

I like the 100k sattelites. Would be nice if they can stay and be sattelites to the 50k every week. Mostly the 10r turbo (good structure) and the 20$ 2 seat guarantees are getting lots of players.

fix the bounty system. the current system is absolutely beyond obnoxious and everyone should boycott bounty tournaments until it's fixed

yea needs to pay out the person who actually knocks the person out. not the main pot.

example:

player 1 all in 500

player 2 all in 2000

player 3 calls 2000

main pot is 1500 and side pot is 3000. If player 3 beats player 2 in the side knocking him out but player 1 wins the main pot, then player 1 would get the bounty in the party software.

This is terribly wrong as player 3 SHOULD get player 2's bounty since he is the one who knocked him out for the larger chip amount.

I feel fastfoward doesn't run anymore ever since it's expansion. 05/.10 fastforward ran almost every night from 7-1 with a pool size of 8 - 40. It's almost non-existent with .01/.02 and .02/.05 being added. something i recently saw.

so what is needed to change?

There needs to be an auto add-on button and an auto-rebuy button that works. I've missed too many add ons while playing multiple tables because it gets hidden or theres not an alert or anything. Plus the rebuy timer is too long at 30 seconds. It adds up to alot of time wasted in the hypers and when people bust and arent going to rebuy there should be an option to leave tournament. Or when closing the table the timer goes away.

I'd probably stick to what was working before. Keep the .05/.10 and .10/.25 stakes.

I havent played fastforward so im not sure what would be best. What about a minimum of 2 tables per person to start? Instead of 1-4 itd be 2-4 or even add the option to play more tables. 6 or 8 or 10 max.

The bonus is 100% upto $25, is released in a single slab.
The requirements to release the bonus are earning loyalty points = 8 times the bonus amount within 14 days from date of issue. For further questions please contact Customer Care.

The payouts need a lot of work. It seems that the 100k this weekend had a glitch and caused it to cap at 72 places paid and made for a huge mincash. Below I made a table for what I think the 100k payouts should have looked like.

$145,410---108/786---13.74% paid

1st-$27,773.31--19.1%
2nd-$18,176.25--12.5%
3rd-$13,450.42--9.25%
4th-$10,614.93--7.3%
5th-$7,488.61--5.15%
6th-$6,034.51--4.15%
7th-$4,580.41--3.15%
8th-$3,213.56--2.21%
9th-$1,861.24--1.28%
10th-12th-$1,570.43--1.08%
13th-15th-$1,279.61--0.88%
16th-18th-$988.79--0.68%
19th-27th-$697.97--0.48%
28th-36th-$610.72--0.42%
37th-45th-$538.01--0.37%
46th-54th-$479.85--0.33%
55th-63nd-$436.23--0.30%
64th-72nd-$407.15--0.28%
73rd-81st-$378.06--0.26%
82nd-90th-$348.98--0.24%
91st-99th-$319.90--0.22%
100th-108th-$305.36--0.21%

I would like a structure similar to this for all other guaranteed tournaments also. There are 3 main things I'd like to see changed for the new structure.
-pay out somehwere between 11-15% of the field with 15% as MAX.
-pay out around 1.5x buyin for mincash always.
-add extra places between 10th and 18th. No where does it anymore where they pay 10-18 the same. Its too crucial of a time and causes longer bubbles. Pay out 10-12, 13-15, and 16-18 different amounts. Sometimes the difference between 18th and 10th or 11th is a longgggg time and youre just screwing someone by not having it slightly different/more rewarding.

This will make more attractive payouts and more people will play. Most of the problem is no one wants to play such small tournaments with weak looking top prizes. Look at the 100k this weekend. 786 players coming out of hiding becuase of all the sattelites run and the larger payouts and better structure. Imagine you had 4-5 more sunday tournaments. They'd all fill up.
