Today Borgata/Party eliminated the best morning and noon time tourneys apparently replacing them with qualifiers/satellite type tourneys called Levels and Exits. No explanation. No definitions. No more 1.5k in the a.m. Most of the 500 chip lunchtime tourneys are gone. Awful decision. They were great especially for those of us who like to play a little at lunch time. Bring 'em back now.

The new Party tournament schedule is a massive fail for anyone other than micromicrostakes players or people who only play at night.

Just like PokerStars/FTP, please allow tournament dollars to be transferred, sold, or redeemed for live events such as WPT 500.

partyrep, why doesnt the android mobile borgata app work AT ALL? also, why has it not yet been approved by google so that we can download it directly from the play store instead of having to download the .apk through the borgata website? a lot of people arent even going to know how to install it...you have to go into the settings and enable the ability to install untrusted apps. and then once you do, you cant even get on a table and play. it keeps saying that i need wi-fi to be enabled, which i do, but it still wont work.

None of the android devices work because android devices can't access enough wifis to verify geo location. Neither work for me borg or wsop I think they need to think of an alternative like phone numbers. Also there's no tournament option would be the only thing I would play on a phone or tablet.

I play on my nexus often

Do you live in the city?

No

When are these sng changes coming june 1st?

bring back 5/10n 6max. This has to be a glitch right?

Also, bring back 3/6 and 5/10 heads up, they were mistakenly eliminated from the lobby after the new update as well. thank you.

+1. These tables have been missing for 3 days now. Adding 10-20 and 25-50 HU would be nice also, if possible.

I think it's safe to assume they eliminated them due to the massive overlays they were having to pay out every single day.


I agree the rake needs to be adjusted in sngs, especially HUSNG.

As for SNG traffic, I think the it's pretty clear the reason they are going off as often as they are is due to the ability to use points to buy $20 sng tickets. This is by far the best option to quickly convert points to cash. (only 200 points for elite)

There are a group of casino degens that are racking up 6 figure point balances on a monthly basis. What do you think they all do after they bust their account? Reg for as many $20 sngs as possible. Until they have enough cash to go back to whatever it is they are really here for.

These are the players that party should be catering their structures to as it will benefit everyone.

I think changing to 7030 will not change much, but making them deeper overall would be a turn off to the guys that are online to get their gamble on.

If anything the party turbo structure is smoother and plays deeper, later than wsop. Why do wee need to start with 100 BBs average stack for 5 minutes in a turbo sng?


This statement makes the same amount of sense.

Not really sure what you are talking about. When you start shallower like the stack sizes are now it makes implied odds a lot worse which causes the games to be nittier which results in higher blinds later with more players remaining thus ruining the game flow of shortening the field as blinds increase. It is the exact opposite of smooth. Doesn't have to be 100 bb deep but to start 40 is just too shallow.

And what about my statement is wrong? The sole reason people play more on one site than the other is player pool not structure. The casual players you speak of will pay no attention to such details, so any altering or tinkering will go unnoticed from their perspective while improving it for everyone else.

Completely agree..having 25/50 6max and only up to 2/4 heads up makes 0 sense

I disagree with all of this, except that you don't need to start with 100 BBs.

I don't understand how one could conclude that starting with 100 BBs would result in players busting faster, earlier - resulting in deeper play later.

Party starts with 50 BBs (not 40), Wsop 100 BBs

Both sites start with 2000 chips, 5 minute levels and after 25 minutes hit 100/200 with anti.


I may have been generous when calling it a statement. It's not even a complete sentence.


I'm not saying the structures are perfect on Party/Borg. But If you're going to make a structure for a tourney that is rarely going to take more than 40 minutes from start to finish, 50BBs is more than enough to start with.

The only argument I can think of for 100 BBs is to trick the rec players into thinking they are getting more play.

Please add the following, thanks in advance...

When a satellite that awards 10 seats reaches the final 12, go hand for hand.
In addition, turn off the chat at this point.

These are necessary, fundamental changes to prevent excessive stalling and open collusion.

+1

Being forced to stall bc other table is doing it lowers my self esteem.

This please. the stalling ( forced stalling) is one thing but the open collusion is even more tilting.

ive seen guys talking about folding to the bb until other table short stack is out and **** like that.

BUMP

you guys HAVE to fix this

it's kind of sad this is still allowed to be such a problem

now that we have a weekly $500 tournament, can you add tournament tickets of this buyin to the rewards store?

Tournament tickets are the only things worth buying in that store, would be a great addition!

came in here to say this. i think if you made the 500 ticket cost a little less than 2 200s and 1 100 then more people would buy it to fill the tournament.

Here's an easy request....
Stop placing messages directly over the cards on the board. I'd like to be able to see the cards after the hand played out without having to pull up hand history.

Does any body play other games?

NLHE, the Cadillac of Poker, is the only game in town?

Granted there are now PLO, O8, Stud, Stud 8 and even FLHE tables set up at the site, but very few playing. No adventurous players? Not willing to try something new because it costs to much to learn?

They did run a couple of FLHE and Stud Tournaments in the beginning, but they went bye, bye. Run one occasionally.

There are not enough players to support these other games, but.....

What are we still missing? Draw? 2-7 Triple Draw? 2-7 Single Draw? HORSE? Razz? 8-Game Mix? Hold'em/Omaha Mix? Badugi? Pineapple? Cash and Tournaments.

A next logical step may be Hold'em/Omaha Mix tables. Maybe a HOSE Tournament.

None of the above will happen unless we get more states/countries.
