I assume that daily challenges, except Tuesday Challenge, are aimed at recreational players. Therefore, it might be risky to move the starting time of daily challenges because recreational players will have less chances to satellite for these tournaments.

It might be worth to consider removing 700/1400, 900/1800, 2250/4500, 3500/7000, 4500/9000, 7000/140000 and 9000/180000 levels to daily challenges with 15 minute blind levels. If 888poker does not want to remove levels then 15 minute levels could be changed into 12 minute levels. Such structure should ensure that these tournaments finishes at a more friendly time to European players who have full time job.

Slightly radical idea about the new format of Monday Twins could be: starting stack increased to 5000 chips, 10 minute levels and one 2nd chance rebuy. It should allow to boost the GTD to 15k.

If there is going to be a change I think this is a good suggestion. And I think dropping these levels is a better then shortening level time.

Hey 888 rep,

how about those antes in 10k startingstack MTTs from 50/100?
Also some structures can use a bit of tweaking anyway.

For example quarterback misses 250/500, 2k/4k. I don't mind that much if you don't want to add them. It's deep enough. But then go from 3k 4k 5k instead of 3k 3,5k 5k levels. really weird jumps imo. (20m level tournament)

And for example Octopus has these in between levels and even 25m levels. Much better structured. Why? For both 215$ MTT.

Imo change this tournament too 20m levels and give Vulcano the 25m levels. It's quite shallow for your biggest weekly MTT. Esp with antes from 100/200. Then you flipping really fast.

Sunday Turbo can use a structure boost aswell imo. Give it Croc struc starting in 25/50. It's a bit too fast imo for your only big weekly turbo.

I could see a weekly whale. But it might be overdoing it. Maybe change each week between 300$ and 600$ and call it the dolphin or something when it's 300$ . you'l figure it out.

bye

The 35$ Friday Challenge doesn't have a break it seems. Is this on purpose or a bug?

+1 whale every week.

888rep, any plans to add any special HS NLHE tourney on mondays, wednesdays or fridays?
GTD dosens need to be huge from start. We just need something exciting to open up 888 on these days.

Hey Guys,
Is the issue with the Sync breaks still going on? Could you give me some more information like when the breaks are occurring instead of the expected time? Is this happening on all tournaments or just some? Any other information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Yesterday at least three tournaments ($2 The Two, $5 Deep Stack, 5$ Step 5) were suddenly stopped and cards were not dealt for a few minutes. After the resumption, these tournaments did not go to the break 55 minutes after an hour. In $2 Daily Two it was not possible to rebuy anymore. $5 Deep Stack 2k GTD went on break at :45 (start time 19.45 EET).

Great job, The Breeze froze for a few minutes before the break and when the break came it unfroze. Obviously no break for us.
