There's probably 4/5 tournaments worth playing a day there these days, $25 Mama Says knock you out (GTD looks small but doesn't include KO's), $25 $4k (debatable since it's gone down from $5k to $4k), $25 7.5k, Triceratops and the $10 one at 7pm GMT (changes on a day to day basis) is sometimes good. The $11 $4k super stack $4k is decent too.

Wish there was something special on a Saturday at $25, Sundays are ok with the Deuce and juiced up Ceratops plus the T25 to end the session with a boosted prizepool but Saturdays are kinda meh.

Shyam, what about a special $25 tournament, maybe boosting the one at Big 22 time and making a special Saturday tourney?

Ftp cud actually do some decent 8 game mtt s daily n get some decent pools together, that n some more mixed games, a 25 Omaha mtt Wud be cool. As would 2/7 triple draw . I no stars ain't rocked off but nth all the regs jus nl grind all the time

hey shyam,

possible for a daily 25k type tourney? was thinking along the lines of something similar to the double deuce, 3 entries etc or your miniFTOPs no 14 type tourney, $10 rush rebuy make it multientry to get the prize pool up? seems you can get the numbers when theres a prizepool worth playing for and people know about it.

Maybe run it for a month at a loss and see how many more people are logging in and playing it/ other games? the timeslot between the mega stack and triceratops looks good, surely a big daily tournament is a better way to spend marketing budget than the 100k freerolls or whatever didn't even bother looking :/

re the payout structure changes, plz don't do it when the prizepools are smallish as it is, surely more people will want to be playing for better top prizes not mincashes :P

p.s, worth bumping up the gte on the $5 double rush?

I agree, rush rebuys .

Could have done with another week off after SCOOP but I love this!

In before impending divorce though!

Not sure how they get a 13k evaluation... but f it. I'm in it to win it.
Finally Full Tilt has put together an incentive that will make me miss none of these. Well done.

Yeah 13k seems a bit much, 3k of that is for expenses and flights, but it's only a 4 night stay. Still, sounds like a good prize if your into UFC.

Shame the Series is all Hold'em again, surely a series like this and the added value would be a good chance to get other players to play something other than Hold'em.

i think fulltilt need to attack emerging markets super aggressively. the software is top notch so if u catch new players early they will stick with.

have the sickest sign up bonus of all time and u wall attract tonnes of newbies. like 300% upto 5k or something (willy hill have done something similar 2 months in a row (including for existing players).

otherwise gg full tilt. a lot of regs dnt even open up the client anymore, everything iswithered and regfested as f**k.

Def agree that some diversity would help. Furthermore I believe you need to win one of the tourneys to get to the next round. It seems to me that having a Points system based on the series would make sense. With the top winner of the low and high getting their tickets punched. This would force serious players to play every tourney and would help bolster numbers.

Totally agree - the prize package is sooooo appealing to a lot of people(rec and reg). I'm genuinely gutted that I'm afk with no internet for 3-4 of the days

I don't think 300% $5k sign up bonus' attract the type of players you want on the site. It's the guy who deposits x% of his weekly/monthly paycheck plays two-three days a week and rinse and repeats every time he gets paid that you want on the site. Offering huge sign up bonus' would just make the games more Reg infested imo.

Yeah you're dead right. Those kind of offers attract the people that "ruin" the experience of the recs. If a rec deposits $25 and loses it in 15 minutes first time round because the site is infested with regs you've lost him/her forever.

Finding a way to make the rinse/repeat enjoyable for that kind of player is what is going to make FT more successful as they need more of the lower level continuous depositor types.

But I like The Stack if only for the fact that ostensibly it offers the layman more "value" because the stack size is bigger when really it's just another tournament. And the package is pretty cool too.

Shyam, can you provide me the list of games eligible for gotw? It's urgent and I'm in dilemma whether to use my extra ticket for making a re-entry or should I save it for future? Also I thought I would be getting T$ in case I sattie into registered event but I get a gotw ticket , so pls let me know urgently if you are reading now, or anybody else who know this info?

Triceratops downs to $8k guarentee, grim

Shyam is it too late to add a player of the series for the stack? All series have this as a prize winner... any chance you can add UFC tickets for the player that can accomplish this. It guarantees full participation amongst all serious players. It doesn't have to be good seats or anything close to 13k in evaluation... just tickets and stratosphere hotel rooms will be fine.... ok a little better rooms than that but you get the jist.

I'd like it, but it requires development work we currently don't have the resources for. It's definitely on the list, though, and as soon as there's some breathing room I'll be pushing for it.

No plans at the moment (we simply don't have enough of a player base to support it), but I'd love to see as many non-Hold'em/non-PLO games succeed as possible.

Suffice it to say there is one, and it will start to emerge this Summer. I don't mean to sound cryptic, but we aren't ready to start laying out the plans just yet. It's where all of our focus is directed, though.

I agree there's a real appeal to making the top prize in a tournament as large as possible, but at this point we think it's more important to give as many players as possible a winning experience, and this will (slightly, marginally) help that.

I didn't make a post about it, but glad you found it anyway. The long term future of GotW is definitely in doubt, so unfortunately we shouldn't get too used to the new lineup.

There's a new 48 hour rule on intersite transfers that didn't used to be there. Basically, a bunch of players were trying to use the functionality to get around their deposit limits (depositing on Full Tilt and immediately transferring to Stars after maxing out their deposit limit on Stars).

It's unlikely. We only took away guarantees from the smaller tournaments that had very low guarantees and participation in the first place. I agree it's annoying that some of these tournaments hardly ever run without a guarantee, but we had too many $100 and $200 guarantees in the game just taking up space in the Guarantees lobby. Sorry about that.

Yeah, we can do a better job at "guessing" how long late reg will last (assuming breaks last 5 minutes, which isn't quite right, but good enough until we can be sure there won't be another break). It's down as a project, but has a pretty low priority.

We'll take a look.

I agree, it seems like too much. Then I found out what was included:

UFC Elite Experience
Reserved Seating in the P1 Floor
Event Program
Official UFC VIP Experience Gift Bag

Friday: Reserved Seat to the Fighter Q&A
Friday: Reserved seat to the weigh-in
Saturday: UFC Octagon Tour
Saturday: Photo opportunity with the Championship belt
Saturday: VIP Hospitality Party Venue Access
(Open: Doors- main event on Saturday)

Celebrity Fighter & Octagon Girl Appearances
Full Premium Bar
Gourmet Food Buffets

Hotel
Hotel: MGM Grand Las Vegas
Room: Grand King Room (2x Queen Beds)
Nights: 4 nights
(Check in on the 10th July)

Package Cost $4968 per person.

So I think that means there an extra $64 we'll give the winner of the package.

With only 8 days and just 1 event per day per stake band, there wasn't a ton of room for non-NLH games, sorry about that.

Sorry, there wasn't time to add something like this, but if we run a similar series in the future we'll definitely keep this feedback in mind, thanks.

Every day without PSKO is costing you money. It would be a good way to bring back players to your site. You should make it your top 1 priority

Hey shyam

You should add more flexibility regarding tournament tickets awarded via sattys.

I won a $250 FTOPS which has been sleeping for weeks given it cant be used anywhere (stack, majors, etc) except in FTOPS/MinFTOPS. No reason to place such restrictions IMO.

When are you gonna improve the structure of most tournaments? Its mostly fine until 2000/4000, but after that most tournaments have the levels too steep. Pokerstars started adding "The Big" structure to a lot of tournaments and its been great to play most of the non-red ones there.

On a second note there are a some levels in most tournaments which have super tiny antes. 140/280, 170/340 with 25 ?

no avatars for the stack events ?

Having seen stars turn tiny mtts into big ones just because of PSKO, I have to agree with this. If the brawl turned into PSKO you'd have the highest PSKO on a sunday and this certainly would attract some players. It would also make the brawl feel more like an actual brawl instead of a freezeout with some irrelevant bonuses when you happen to knock somebody out.

agreed, PSKOs are an absolute must

Yeah PSKO on the Sunday Brawl would be awesome but just in general I agree it is a great tournament format.

if you cant do PSKOs maybe try a SKO ... could make the turbo hundo or fiddy sko and move it earlier

+1

This should require no development?

Thanks Shyam for redeploying Nine Lives.
