Why are you only running nightly 162 crocodile 2 times per week?

I agree that tournaments with 15 minutes levels or more are fine the way they are but those with 10 ,12 minutes or less will be greatly improved in the early stages if you add T80 and T120. You don't even need to make it longer : you can remove T20 for T80 and T1400 / T1800 / T4500 for T120.

Question about upcoming Super XL Series: are the rebuys raked in the events like opening event ,turbo opening event or super turbo events ?

Is the only tournaments worth playing on 888 the special tournaments? Other tournaments that are not special have very very low guarantees.

the prizepools are higher than the guarantees.
example: 2,5k gtd deepstack (17:30- $25) gets 200 runners every day
they could easily make it 4k or 5k

Noticed that PLO8 55$ has 15 mins blinds and 10 000 chips starting stack. It's ridiculous! Make it 3 000 chips and 10 minutes, please.

We are increasing the guarantee of the "Smokin' Omaha Hi-Lo" to $2,000.
We will consider making the structure a little less deep.
More Smokin' Omaha tournaments coming soon so stay tuned!

Can you add some more NLO8 tourneys?
Also, will you re-consider adding some NLO8 hypers SNGs? This was requested a year ago and you added NLO hypers, which didn't do so well.

Thanks!

Thanks for adding this, however it is very deep. Maybe you could run it earlier instead of making it shallower?

Anychance of running a sunday high roller edition 215-320$ PLO8, im sure even without a guarentee it would get 20 runners to start

I think the high roller version would benefit from such a deep structure, but 55$ version should be far more shallow. Omaha Hi-Lo is action game where you get far more playable hands than in Texas Hold'em, and in general faster structure is far better than in NL Texas.

Some hyper NLO8 MTTs with 3 mins blinds and 3000 chips starting stacks (with antes) from 3$ to 33$ buy-in range would certainly be a hit. They're very popular in Stars, too. And also require around an hour to play from start to end -> one can play them without it taking whole evening.

Structures of MTTs of 888 Poker, especially daily challenges, have been discussed here many times before. I think that structures of MTTs with 10 or 12 minutes are excellent while 15 minute MTTs, especially Monday, Friday and Sunday Challenges, are too slow. Regarding added early levels - at most you could add them to Crocodile, Swordfish and Monsoon but not at the expense of T1400/T1800 because they still finish relatively early for European players and these levels are necessary in 10 - 12 minute MTTs.
I don't think it would be a good idea to add anything to $5, $12, $22, $24 freezouts/deepstacks and goldfish, the two etc. small stakes/mirco MTTs. I don't see any point in removing T20 because fun players loves to shove crap for 100bb-250bb in first levels .

Just run Quarterback every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with smaller GTD than on Thursday and see how it goes.

+1. You have enough players for making quarterback daily for sure. Just look at how fast Party grew when they added more HS tournaments. Just put it up there and people will come.


Also same for nightly 162 croc, no reason to not run it every night.

Saying it again, Adding T80 and T120 blind level would be a huge improvement, it would just allow so many more people lateregister 1hr in of the tourney (and still have enough BBs) and wont affect the lenght of the tournament..More people, bigger prizepools and a better playing experience is what we all want I assume.

You cannot add these levels to almost all mtts like 888 did with new structure thus messing up 15 min challenges, snap, cams, 4 max r&a etc. Which tournaments do you think will benefit from additional levels?

Lightning, Crocodile, Moonsoon, Breeze, Tornado, Hurricane are the 6 I can think of right now.

The challenges and special MTTs are different, they are already good as it is.. I just want to be able to lateregister tournaments 1hour and get more than 25bbs..(You can do this on all other sites except 888)

So do you really think this is a good argument? I clearly stated why adding those 2 blind levels would be a good improvement and not any downsides at all by adding these.

Whenever you start your session, there is always one tourney that has started 1 hour earlier. (facepalm)

Think all ur super turbo tournaments shouldnt be re entry
888 2015 MTT Discussion Thread Quote

I think the blind levels are too fast at the beginning of your turbo games; you get to 20bb within 30 minutes of play it seems which makes late regging virtually impossible and not enough deepish stacked play which Regs and Recs would like

Can you allow to filter up to $55 and not just $50 because you either miss out on the $55 games or have a bunch of $75-$100 games in the filter

Can we get a filter that allows to show only turbo games

And one that doesn't have satellites; i have deselected them but they still appear

Hey Guys,

As I’m sure you’re all aware, the Super XL Series is starting this Sunday!
We are kicking off with great value Opening Events with huge guarantees and massive fields created by many satellites and freerolls.
Some of the special events this Sunday will include:

• 19:35 - $215 – 25 Seat GTD satellite to the $1,000,000 Super XL Main Event ($1,050 buy-in)

Since we are expecting increased traffic, we have also increased the guarantees of some of our regular Sunday majors:

• Mega Deep (120k --> 150k)
• Turbo Mega Deep (50k --> 60k)
• Sunday Monsoon (40k --> 50k)
• Sunday Breeze (35k --> 40k)
• Sunday Lightning (20k --> 25k)
• Mega Micro - (3k --> 4k)
• Sunday Challenge (100k --> 115k)
• Tornado (10k --> 13k)
• Hurricane (8k --> 10k)

Hope to see you all there. Good Luck and have fun!

Is it possible to switch the timeslots for Thunder and the daily Challenges? So the Challenges take the timeslot of Thunder and Thunder takes their Timeslot? The challenges just last so long (some don't finish before 7AM CET), while the Thunder is a much smaller MTT, which could easily run w/o any problem if it starts an hour later.

Thank you for considering.
