Yes credit where credit is due, well done for this change, this will be a much more enjoyable tournament to play now. Now you gotta add some more low/mid stakes tournaments at peak times with various formats etc like you did in the summer series.

And please 888 rep can you respond to my previous comments.

Hi,

plz add 1-2 good tournaments before the Typhoon starts [which is doing great btw, pleasure to see it reaching more than 8k prizepool!! :-) ]

I'm aware that there aren't thaaaat many players online at that time.
However, it worked out really well for Stars, who seemed to believe only 109turbos/82$hypers were the best solution before they launched their new schedule, but now they have the big 33, BountyBuilder22, Big82, still have the Hot109 etc.etc. and those tourneys all reach guarantees of 5-15k constantly, so it absolutely is possible to get some good tournaments running then.
Ofc, Stars is bigger, but 888 seems to have a solid player base at that time, too, so please try to give them something decent to play!!

06:45 WET (07:45 CET) -> 30$ 1k Guarantee.
Seriously, what a horrible structure. Make it an early swordfish/Breakfast swordfish (30$, 11$Rebuy or a 55$ special that aligns well with Typhoon/Twister/EarlyMonsoon, ideally at the 8am CET spot), start with 2-3k Gtd, push it with deposit tickets or however you usually do that, and you might just have a well performing tournament quite soon.
I rly see no real argument against at least trying.

07:30 12$ 1,2k Gtd, same horrible structure, could also be replaced by something better or kicked while strengthening the 22$ Deepstack or the 5$ Rebuy.

Thanks for the good work overall and for considering many of the suggestions in this thread.

There is the $12 catfish at 02:00 but its a shame only turbos after that (big16 on stars starts at 03:00 gmt) so people will still play reg speeds then 3-12 price point (8max?) seems ideal

even a blue mtt would work imo
Added a $30 8-Max as of tonight at 03:00. Let's see how it goes. GL!

It should be very soon. A week, maybe two. But there can always be delays... I can try to get a Beta version for you Guys here to use even before if you are interested, but then you will have to give us feedback if there is any issue The sounds issue will also be resolved in this version.

I think instead of running some 1k freeroll at some point of the day you should increase the gtd by 1k of the tournament that's new.

See my previous post regarding auto TB. Break extension is planned but not in the upcoming version, probably the one after that. No current plans to add a new bet slider in the near future unfortunately as we have other developments prioritized higher.

You need to review your low stakes (buy-ins up to $12) MTT schedule during peak hours. You have too many turbo MTTs and too few regspeed/deepstack MTTs from 6 PM CET until 8 PM CET. $12 Turbo Deep at 7.30 PM CET and $12 Super Turbo Catfish at 8 PM CET with 1k and $800 GTDs are on serious decline and would have done much better if they were moved to other time slots and/or replaced with regspeed/deepstack MTTs. They also suffer from the competition from $5 7k GTD R&A turbo tournament at 8 PM CET. Therefore I would suggest:
1.) To move ST Catfish to 11 PM CET (an hour after Turbo Catfish). I personally never register for ST Catfish because it is difficult to play FT for small amount of money when I have other 10-12 tables running. ST Catfish would do much better later in the session.
2.) $12 Turbo Deep could be replaced with flagship daily $12 tournament at 8PM CET. Call it The Dozen and run it from Monday to Saturday with smaller GTD than Mega Dozen (3k-5k, for instance). You could make re-entry option to ensure it beats GTD.
3.) To add more levels to Mega Dozen (it has been suggested here a number of times by various users, including myself). Jump from 1250/2500/250 to 1750/3500/350 and 2500/5000/500 is too quick for tournament with 12 minute levels. Starting from third hour Mega Dozen feels like turbo tournament with a lot of short stacks, all-ins almost every hand etc.; chip leader on FT have 25bb quite often. Since Mega Dozen finishes relatively early for your Sunday majors (usually 3.30 AM CET) you afford to give players a bit more room for play. For instance, micros, such as, $3 Mega Micro and $ 1 Goldfish lasts longer...
Very good suggestions.
1. The ST Catfish has been moved to 23:30 GMT as of tomorrow.
2. The $12 Deepstack has been re-branded as The Dozen as of tomorrow and will have re-entries and 3k GTD (to start...).
3. The Mega Dozen has been given more levels as of the upcoming Sunday.

hey 888rep !

888 recently acquired a license for poker in my country ( romania ) and when this happened they made the soft in romanian language only ( this meaning no trackers work, or other softwares, also annoying as hell ) and they made the cashier in romanian currency ( which means we lose money in exchange rates, and also annoying as hell again because nobody uses different currencies than usd / euro in online poker )

i know this is your strategy for other countries that got regulated as well, when i was living in denmark they had the cashier in danish currency, but at least we could play in english there.

this is a huge pain in the ass for all your players, and might drive your playerpool away. can you talk to whoever is in charge of this and fix this?

Thank you for making changes, especially with regard to the structure of Mega Dozen. Looking forward to play The Dozen as well

For future reference please send this feedback on the internet poker thread of 888 and let's keep this one MTT issue only. Anyway, I have passed your feedback on to the relevant address. In the meanwhile, I would suggest talking to PT/ HM support as they would need to adapt their software to the Romanian client.

Good Suggestions. We have improved the structures for both tournaments you mentioned, raised the GTD's and made them blue, naming them "Pacific Swordfish" and "Pacific Catfish". Good Luck!

disappointing to see the 888rep reply to lots of comments but nothing still regarding my own comments and suggestions (there were lots of them) if you are not going to reply to me at least tell me?

Anyway, something in general that bothers me with 888 is the lobby and navigating to certain games. In my opinion the tournament lobbys are not very clear and seem clustered with satellite/steps/blue tournaments?

When you click on the satellites tab this lobby still does not show all the satellites, you have to then click on the small check box next the the "show" option, it just seems very clustered and probably confusing for new players to the site that have never used the software.

Another example, when you click on the "live events" tab under tournaments, it shows the "steps" tournaments, this is fine but why also have the steps tournaments in the main lobby?

The "Tournaments" > "All" tab show every single game on offer. There is no way just to show Gtd tournaments for example? Under "My Favourites" even if you uncheck the satellites box, it still shows satellites and step tournaments in the lobby.

Not really sure if i am going to get a reply anyway lol.
