Give it a rest. Calm down.

The old schedule was full of bowls with 2k gtds that no body played. Why would you want that again?

There have been more buyin level added which I think is a great move. Would like some turbos through the day but I'm happy to wait, as I see good things are happening. Just be patient and don't throw your toys out the pram like a child.

Huge well done on the PSKO rake.

Agree with littlegoliath and buffyslayer's last posts. Also nice to hear the psko news, now let's get some SKO or psko 6max hyper turbo sngs going to try to draw some more sng traffic to the site....seems a great time to promote it!

Was pleasantly surprised the last time I logged in and saw that the software had improved some more

Partypoker marketing got an upgrade. Pokerstars raise tournament rake squarely for low/midstakes grinders so Party reduce the rake on most popular format. Yesterday they signed Elky who taken some nice pops at Stars as he left them - nicely done

I read about Party joining the .FR .ES market
Will it be possible to play on Party.com and Party.fres at the same time?
Will Bwin.fr join this new market? @bwinrep @bwin_rep

Great changes. Fair and transparent rake.

You will not be able to use both pp.fr/es and pp.com
Players should play from the market they reside
Without relevant info you can not create a new account on either or .fr or .es channels - for .fr you need a valid address and ID and for .es you need a NIE/DNI number to regsiter and access

Regarding bwin.fr - yes likely however Ill ask the bwin rep to confirm and feedback

Thanks

I really like Pads' rationale behind this rake decrease. I never liked this format due to rake and realized in advance that they are good for the operators and hurt the players.
Softer fields are only due to extra marketing.

Amazing news! Great change

Thanks Pads, great news. Will continue to support Partypoker!

**** yes Patrick!

Good news about PKO rake, although I don't too much like NL Hold'em PKOs and only play them when I have to.

Still wondering if there'll be any promotions for Monster Series?

not raking pko should be a game changer , just hope it doesnt turn into a bait and switch down the line

To be fair they were extremely transparent about this.
If players support the offering then the lower rake stays in place permanently.
It's really up to us.

sorry for being so negative

just super hard to trust poker sites in the current climate

party will def be the first site to gain my trust if they keep making changes like this

I would have rather seen all players get some rakeback. Impossible for casual mtt players to get anything under the current format.

I should probably know better than to reply to someone who writes entire sentences in caps and can't find the apostrophe key, but here goes.

This is a stupid metaphor, more accurately party has the choice between offering 15 decent or 5 great menus. Offering a wide variety of decent menus sucks, because we can just go to burger king or 10 other places for that.

Look around this thread, you're pretty much alone in this sentiment. As far as I can tell your 50% is an outright fabrication to try to strengthen your point. They had a bigger number of tournaments in the schedule a while ago and their 109$ 5k tournaments struggled to make the guarantees and were full of the same regs going for the leaderboard. There are so many websites, there are more tournaments available than you can play. Considering we are oversaturated in terms of volume, improving the quality of the tournaments is much more appealing. When their player base triples maybe they can add 50% more tournaments or something.

great news w the rakes. also, big up for the new satellite system.

Is there any way to find out ticket expiration time for other tickets than just the first similar one expiring?

I suppose that software also understands to use oldest ticket first? Software still shows up expiration date of 1st ticket though I used it to register to a tournament @ Monday.

Adding my +1 for all recent changes. Since new schedule was released I am even more excited to play on party. Really like the new variety of buyins, satellite system and of course rake changes on PKOs. Keep going

Bravo Patrick, rousing speech. Hopefully Party find an effectively way to get the message out to the Stars player base then anyone with half a brain cell would surely switch at least their PKO volume.

Bring back the 11am Early Grinds. Sure the replacement rebuys may be hitting GTDs (superiorly?) but the Early Grinds had more unique entrants which to my eye seems healthier for the ecosystem.

@Bwin_rep (3rd time) software updates??
You guys you like the schedule really what stakes do you play??
PP manage to destroy even the Sunday for low-mid stakes.
Most of the day tours are 55-16.5-3.3-0.55.(HUGE gaps between them) and also
1 44$ tour 1 33$ (early) 2 27.5$ and only 1 11$.
If indeed you like today's **** fine by me.Imo much better schedule 1 year ago.
+1 for people ask more tours.We want to move our volume,we can help each other.
+1 psko rake (even though i don't like the format) and sats
GL to the grind everyone!!

THIS^^

Good work Party Poker .

+1 this. Casuals and most recs just don't have the time to put in enough volume to get anything back, and not everyone wants to play cash games.

Patrick has shown he could be given some benefit of the doubt and will probably address it some time in the future. Maybe rb that scales somehow with rake paid and averages out at current 40% total.
