This has probably been discussed to death, but ability to filter for buy ins in the client. Very easy to miss tournaments while flicking through the lobbies.

You can do this via filters

How come there are turbo (5min blinds) 5usd buy-in WSOP sats, but there are no such 1usd buy-in sats?
Create some! It would be even better if the blinds would be 3-4 mins instead of 5 and late reg would not be longer than 40 mins!

would be cool if 888 added a bigger buy in mtt after 445 est(they have a 109 at this time) on Sundays.....maybe a 109 with a 5k guarentee would fill at say 6 or 7 EST

edit - I know they have a 75 dollar super turbo but I'm talking an actual poker tournament not a shovefest that can barely beat the rake

Mac user and mtt player here

Whenever I register a mtt, or the mtt that I've pre-regged pops, the table opens in full screen.

Obviously beyond tilting.

Anybody experienced this have a fix?

The Saturday R&A has now been given the Volcano structure (rather than the Mega Deep structure) which has a couple more levels later on. The Mega Deep is pretty much as deep as it should be IMO

ye mega deep is deep enough.

nothing better than a 11th place finish 12 hours in.

Please add 1 or 2 more levels to the mega turbo. Went deep in it yesterday and the average hovered around 8 bigs on the last 2 tables. More like a hyper tbh.

250/500
2000/4000 would be nice additions and just add a touch more play to a flagship major.

Thanks.

I would like to hear from 888 rep how they think their Fishn Chips mtts are going.

From what Ive seen, they have done well (meeting/exceeding most gtds). If 888 views this as a success, are there plans for additional games (between $5-$55 range)? Will we see an increase to guarantees after WSOP? Maybe more target satellites to their $12+ mtts in increase traffic (recs) and lower variance (regs).

Nice the extra levels in the Turbo.
Volcano needs this too (250/500 and 2k/4k level)

Edit: And antes from 50/100 maybe?

yeah those fish tournaments are great, a $40 or $50 version would be cool

With removal of 22+R in 23:15 EET and other few adjustment like changing add-on in 21:10 EET turbo rebuy to 2x there's really no special playable tournaments aside from Roller Coaster (which is occasionally cancelled) right now for me in prime time @888Poker daily. That's a shame.

I occasionally play 21:40 EET 11+R, but it's rather 50-50 if I even want to keep lobby open just for that. It's also very annoying trying to find real rebuy-tournaments as most of "rebuy" tournaments are actually 2nd chances

It's also very strange that you have some interesting midstakes rebuys like (22+R turbo starting 04:00 EET) during very strange times but ZERO of them during European primetime. Why is that? I am sure that they could easily get 5-figures prize pools if you'd make few 11+R and 22+R turbos, look at even Party Poker which currently has about half of your players are able to keep $10k 10+R turbo with 5x add-on in their schedule and lots of other tournaments.

How about a decent weekly 6max, 160$ would be fine so people can use their step tickets.

Thanks for making the Super Turbo Satellite to the Lightning 5$->109$ a 4.75+0.25$ and not 4.5+0.5$

I am sure you can keep that up! (for example super turbo sat to the monsoon which is 5+0.5$ but also labeled as turbo" (while the lighting super turbo isn't marked with the word turbo but only with the T-icon, so nvm)

Have to say after playing on just about every site over the past 10 years I had never played on 888 until a week or 2 ago. I love it. Very 'Stars' feel about it on the software front, with a decent amount of mtts and runners.

However.....no deal option?!?! Pretty mental. And without sound bitter (a 2nd and a 3rd in 3 days costing me $2k+) I really dont understand why you dont add this? Is there a reason? Must be the only major site that does not.

Better satties to Mega KO? a "x amount of seats GTD" would be good, especially as you can't use the step system to enter.
Early antes in the "15 seats GTD to 100k sunday challenge" at 17:41 BST please too

Also what about changing the dying $7 $400 gtd super turbo into 6max to differentiate it from your super turbo offerings in the fish n chip series? allowing a second chance as same as them could also help to increase tournament participation?

Playing the 25$ swamp today noticed two strange things. First; wtf raked rebuys. You're paying 22.80+2.20 for a 10/8/6bb starting stack. This is pretty insane. Last time I played it was just a freezeout. This format works great as a rebuy but don't rake the rebuys... or make it 24.20+0.80 and rake the rebuys. Did the field shrink and rebuys were added to compensate, or did the field shrink because it's now a rebuy?

Also, utg went all in for 700 and utg+1 can now raise to 800? That's ridiculous, he can raise much less though there's more action before him?
