Do not get rid of the 24 pleaaaaaaase. Just bump up the 30 30-45 minutes later or so.

Also does anyone feel that the new payouts are to flat?

yeah but you added instead a 27tko 2k gtd
for guys wanting to play a 109fo/30r or over have to wait till tornado if they bust the croco, but there's plenty of 20fos from swordfish to thunder timeslot

a 30r/50r makes sense since you already have 11r and 20r
the lightning timeslot would fit good since party have removed their well performing 50r ( same structure w/ 3k+3k+6k w/ 90 min rebuy period would work smoothly covering a decent prizepool and will not incentivise ppl to just 1rebuy1addon it )

that would help players busting the croco/monsoon jump in another game too

you should also try promote the 11r 5k and 20r 2k with some sort of label or rebuy tier/promotion. they are attractive tourneys and perfom ok for their buyin/prizepool range

tbh 888 is the nicest site atm to open and play plenty of normal poker tournaments that are not turbo/super turbo and have nice GTDs too

I dont like the fact that Crocodrile and Mega Deep start at exact same time on Sunday. You might move the Mega an hour later and this would also be more in line with most sites' majors.

Also, I know Summer season started but lowering the Croco to 20k on a Sunday seems too much.

mega deep lasts too long to put it later imo

Then it's not a bad idea to move the Crocodrile 1 hour later for Sundays and weekdays as it is the site's daily major.

mega deep a hour earlier works as well.

Seems unlikely they will move their flagship mtt on second thoughts. Maybe put the croc 1 hour back.

Mega Deep lasts foreverrrr don't move it later than it is.

Need shorter rego, or add in more blind levels in the new catfish tourney. its still got 10 mins rego.. 36 get paid, there is only 42 people left.. its been running for 2 hrs 20 mins.. people can literally register last minute and only have to play one hand to make the money.

Would it be possible to put a 5k starting stack on the $25 2.5k gtd at 16:30 UK time?
thanks

Yeah 5k starting stacks on the newly labelled deep-stacks would be nice

If you have already won a WSOP package, what happens if you win a 2nd package. Do 888 pay out $13k in cash for the 2nd one?

You will not receive cash if you win a 2nd package. Players may transfer their package providing the transferee is an existing 888poker player who has made at least one deposit to their member account and who is at least 21 years old.

The fee on the 25+25 and the 10+10 KO tournaments has been lowered in order to see if this will increase popularity of these tournaments... The late night (European time) ones have also been amended to have 6 minute blinds instead of 10

WP on the reduction on SKO fees. Not sure you'll see a huge immediate impact, but it'll grow the tourney over time. I personally am much more likely to play them now.

Pls make the $66 Breeze a 10k guarantee. There are a number of reasons why this would raise the number of participants. Among the most important factors would be any tournament in a Triple crown needing a 10k prizepool as one of its qualifying parameters. Secondly, many regs including myself will overlook anything below a 10k guarantee because it just isn't worth the screen space. If that guarantee which is currently at $8k is increased slightly, the number of players will certainly increase along with it. Cheers.

wow, sigh! 15 min levels, 5k starting stack and early antes also! amazing!

pitty we didnt have the chance to play it in the old timeslot

i am curious why do you think it will do better in this timeslot if it didnt manage to gather ppl at peak hour

pretty disappointed about this one

can you at least confirm that MTT staff is still reviewing the replacement tourney in the lightning timeslot ? i remember you saying the 27koT is a temporary replacement

It doesn't show 6 next to it in lobby, looks like a full ring tournament.

I don't know if it will do better in this timeslot but it's worth the shot. The old timeslot was crowded with similar tournaments and I think a 6-Max at peak hours is tough for players. Hopefully the deep structure and long late reg will allow more players to join this tournament for the earlier slot of their session. At the moment there is not a plan to add an additional tournament in the old time slot, but suggestions are always welcome for us to consider.
