for the love of god, lower the rake in the new KO SNGs!

45c+45c+9c for a 500c 2m structure? What are you, Pokerstars??!


On a 2nd note, yes you are.

Structure is 100% the one of stars (25/50/10 then 50/100/20 ... )

Here's my professional take on it. Rake the BI part, not the KO part. Lower the rake as it is hyper. Lower the rake again as this is ultrahyper based on ante and starting blinds.

Here's a way better structue
46c+50c+4c

levels:

15/30/6
20/40/8
30/60/12
40/80/16
50/100/20
75/150/30
100/200/40
150/300/60
200/400/80
300/600/120
400/800/160
500/1000/200 last level (w 18man you have 9k chips in play so being HU with 4.5BB each is shallow enough imho)

1. The 15:30 $25 3K GTD deepstack has been changed to "The $5,000 Early 30". The Buy-in increased to $30 and guaranteed increased to $5K.

2. We have added a few new daily tournaments:

* "The $8,000 Evening 30" - Starting 18:05 GMT, $30 Buy-in, 3000 starting stack and 10 minute blind levels. Re-entries available for 90 minutes.

* "The $3,000 10-10-10-10" - Starting at 15:00 GMT, $10 Buy-in, 10 players per table, 10,000 starting stack and 10 minute blind levels. Re-entries available for 180 minutes.

* "Think Fast" - Running twice a day ($1 Buy-in at 18:00, $5 Buy-in at 19:00), In this tournament you have only 8 seconds to act with no timebank!

3. We have increased the GTD of a few Omaha tournaments, one example is the GTD of the 18:45 Omaha 2nd Chance ($300 to $750).


The GTD of the new tournaments isn't final, we plan to adjust it in the next few days depending on how they run.

Thank you very much for the great feedback, we are always looking to improve our tournament schedule so please keep it up!

Have fun at the tables!
Liking these new additions but the "The $3,000 10-10-10-10" tournament seems really bad. Nobody want to play a 10 handed tournament bad enough when you have to play 10 handed in a live tournament due to space but online you should never have too. I personally skipped this because it was 10 handed as I am presume a lot other players did too.

Just keeping a days worth of buyins on the site because of these issues. Not much point having tournaments that pay 100k+ for first when it seems you have some serious security issues, at least give us some kind of pin/phone verification for login while you work on RSA token.

Like the new tournaments, the 10-10-10-10 tournament seems a bit strange, its not very fun playing 300 bigs deep with no antes and 10 handed tables. Think it would be better of redone as a standard 10 rebuy.

Also think that the 55 8 max should be rebranded as part of the twister/typhoon/breeze series, no reason why it should be getting lower guarantees than the 2 earlier 55s. Also think it would be better off as 9 max.

I dont really understand why early 30 has been put later than the breeze, think you should move it back to around 14-14.30 GMT as its a bit dead their at that buyin level if you dont play turbos.

It doesn't and I suspect that quotation marks in the name of the tournament are at fault. 888rep, if you could implement a quick change and change names of those tournaments from "10-10-10-10" and "Early30" to 10-10-10-10 and Early30 (without " ) it would be very helpful. I noticed the HUD issue today and I certainly won't be playing them until it is fixed as they require more attention than I'm willing to give them. I doubt I'm the only one who thinks this way. In this case though, fixing it on your side is much easier than waiting for the response from tracker companies and it would instantly help those tournaments meet and surpass guarantees.

you can't unreg on 888 but that's the reason for the satellites and targets being way softer than stars.
For example I have a huge ROI in the 1->5$ satellites and managed to get that up to 30 and 160$ more than once, being able to play the crocodile on a ~20$ investment.

This issue is now fixed in the early 30, evening 30 and 4x 10. The HUD should work in all of them now.

Thanks!

not saying one single word on this reminds me of the pokerstars thread and how similar things are being handled there!

Google Authenticator? Making 6 min breaks (so you can have 5) will help if you want steal traffic from Pokerstars (Their new schedule is a disaster, lots of holes. Also rebuys raked). You can also put $15-$30 10-12-15 minutes FO on the times Pokerstars had them in the old schedule, they have nothing regular speed now!

right click on your opened table on the taskbar and hit maximize.

Hey Guys,
Regarding the security issues:

I understand there were a few cases of MTT player accounts hacked recently, and I can assure you that measures have and will be taken in order to avoid such recurrences as much as possible from our side. We are currently discussing the available options for Two Level Authentication and I am doing all I can for this to be given high priority. I hope to have some news on this front soon.

Regarding notifications when passwords/ emails are changed - There is an automatic notification system to emails when passwords change. There is not currently such a system when email is changed. I will request this as well as the 2 level authentication.

I understand the current cases have been resolved on the player front. If this is not the case please contact me with the details and I will personally make sure you are contacted for a speedy handling.

Thanks.

On another note, never reply with any personal information to email addresses that you have any doubt about. I understand this type of action was the source of at least a couple of the recent cases. The only official emails that will contact you in regards to information about your account are: operations@cassava.net and support@888poker.com

888 won't even load for me.

So I uninstalled it. After downloading it again and opening setup, I'm getting this message:
