I havn't tried the structures yet, but can I get a comparison, because deep there seem to be way less in between levels.

The structures seemed perfect to me; the only tweak we all agreed on was to go back to bigger antes. You do everything to generate more play; 8 handed and stuff but antes still only 10%. At least HRs need 12,5% or bigger.

pads low-mid stakes are still a thing please look and tell me it isn't mostly turbo, maybe i'm missing something

That's not correct, structures have pretty much remained the same, in fact there are a few extra levels for now (bb9k-90k). We actually were thinking of making antes bigger for the highrollers yeah.

What do you mean? I've watched the jab at numerous occassions the past couple of days for example and haven't seen average drop below 30 big blinds. I think that's fine.

most low stakes tourneys in the lobby except from jab and brawl now say turbo and have 6 minute blinds? Same with mid stakes except from contender and counterpunch

Surely not every $22 needs to be an 8 max turbo

I'm assuming something has gone horribly wrong here. I'm trying to get this fixed as quick as possible.

Some suggestions

The $55 Counterpunch I skip with a $10k guarantee. However it got 375 entries last night, could this support a $20k guarantee?

The $55 Brawl at 5pm UK time has $20k, the 8pm version $10k. Any scope to increase the guarantee? (for some reason the 8pm version disappears from the lobby when complete I think)

Not sure if I saw suggested here or elsewhere, but think adding a PKO element to satellites would be very good. Problem with satellites is players not incentivised to call shoves as stack preservation more important. Having a PKO element somewhere between 10% and 25% of the buy-in would make sense.

New structures - reserving judgment for now but definitely feel late reg should not last for over 4 hours.

WTF why is every tournament a turbo 8max

WTFWTFWTF

Either you guys are ****ing idiots or this is yet another glitch in your ancient terrible software

For the love of God go back to the way it was before and maybe sprinkle in some variety instead. Add a few turbo's etc.

And also, bring back at least a couple 6-max mtt's. I literally played every single one of these when logged in.

Make a daily 6-max major, powerfest proved it was popular.

Variety variety variety. You guys don't have any of it.

Just gonna throw this great on-point tweet from Apo:


Looks like at least today is part 2 of this conversation, which might have looked like:
#1: How many 22$ tournaments do we need?
#2: Two every hour?
#1: Alright, and how many types to make it fun for recreationals?
#2: 2?
#1: Seems a lot, just make them both turbos.


Lowstakes schedule overall was already very boring for amateurs, now once you made it turbo it's less attractive for regs as well. How tough could it be to invent daily lowstakes series (like Bigs and Hots on Stars) and throw a couple of bigger gtd tournaments every day? You can do better than Contender 1/2 + Jab 1/2 + Brawl 1/2/3.

I'm assuming all the turbos is just a irresponsible individual mistake and schedule will go back to freezouts, but it's still not sort of schedule that recreational players look for in my opinion.



On bright side, compliments for Monster-Micro series! Exactly that sort of variety that we need. Looks like Bryan's hand on this one, keep that direction please!

I really hope this is a mistake.
10-05-2017 , 12:18 PM
Hahahahaha. Just got confirmation from Colette this is not a mistake. They literally just randomly changed all their tournaments for turbos and told no one. The only conclusion one can draw here is that they have a paid shill from Stars working inside the company trying to chase away customers. I don't know how else you can explain the endless string of godawful decisions by these morons. Out of all those this definitely takes the cake though.

I can confirm this will be rectified and every lowstakes regspeed will go back to 8 mins and turbos remain at 6 min.

Ok and what about the 6-Max turbos that ran at :30. These are getting reinstated too right?

Calm yourselves - PartyPoker turbos still have VERY slow structures compared to the industry norm for turbos (especially with all the new levels).

Obviously all this deepstack mtt stuff is great but its also nice to have a few mtts that dont go on for 5+ hours (especially when it comes to bringing recs in). These 'turbos' all use to be 6-max and people have been asking for some 8/9-max turbos for ages so don't see the problem. Agree a bit of variety would'nt hurt though ...

My post/comment was correct at the time I posted - however - following feedback ....
From tomorrow all tourneys will revert from turbo- the blinds have changed and we will have 6 min Turbos and 8 min events in the lobby - all with 20 min late registration

Decision was made earlier today
I have now been updated and sharing the changes as per above...
Hope that is all clear

Sorry for any confusion

haha wow, incredible running of a daily schedule, lets just make everything identical, amazing
10-05-2017 , 03:33 PM
how about adding some more $11s and $33s,big gap between $5-$20 and $20-$55 the way it is now..them 6 max turbos been replaced by 8 max can only be a good thing i think
10-05-2017 , 06:30 PM
I heard Pads wanted a change to all hyper-turbos but he was talked out of it.

While adding in some 8-max turbos is a fantastic addition, there were a lot of us who really enjoyed the 6-max and I don't see why it needs to be one or the other.

Colette,

Why not run a 6-max turbo 1 hour, then 1 hour later run a 8-max turbo and rotate. This way it's not the same over and over and some variety have been added which should please everyone.

Terribbly much PKO. Now on :30 PKO every tour and on :00 regular .BUT BRAWLS running on :00 so more than half of the tournaments is PKO absurd . Who said Party tournamenst contains less PKO than PS? It is absurd what is going on

That was too much that everyTurbo is 6max but now the site offer 0 6max tournament? Please make a schedule which is similar Bryans Monster series it is simply not exciting to play here. I want to play here more but until the schedule is so boring i will teach some poker on Ipoker and on Micro etc.
