Any plans to expand this to mtts?

Sure i read somewhere a year ago that party was fully banning huds then nothing came of it.

I don't understand why names would be anonymous in hand histories. It makes sense to have cash games anon in real time if you're trying to prevent bumhunting and predatory behaviour, but it doesn't really make sense to hide player ids after the fact. Collection of hand histories has been the single best method to discover bot rings and player collusion. In the history of online poker players have been responsible for finding a large portion of these. You've now taken this ability away from your players.

To stop data mining i imagine.

Its gonna be pretty tilting if the schedule, specially micro/low stakes isnt improved in the next couple of months.

Also will ask again any info to improve multi tabling on mac because i only have a mac to play on and current can only 1 table because of problems with tables not popping up.

And can we please have some $11 sats to your weekly $109 main, or at least 1 $11 deadline sat on sundays .

Everyone is asking stars to run a mid stake series, maybe you can act first

You guys quickly went from undisputed #2 to clear 4th Place in terms of fav site to play on this month. Your 55$ mtts plain suck, you over rake skos (while they overlay, granted), your majors all needed to be 2-day but werent. There's so many good suggestions in this very thread which is likely next to pads the only reason party made a surge to #2 in the first place that now have been getting ignored for months all the while 888 has been listening and popped out a series that while only a single week long beat yours by a land slide (for myself as a 80$ avg buyin player on both sites anyway)
It of course is up to you guys what you do with our feedback but imo you dropped the ball quite heavily through this summer, the grad prix being the one great thing you did since May this year

No plans to expand for now
We never planned to fully remove HUDs - we announced planned ecology changes and the upcoming plans on the 5th follow on from changes made late in 2015


Feedback regarding our current scheudle has been shared with the team for review

Thanks

You read articles that had misleading headlines as clickbaits and content written by authors who (on purpose) misundestood the proposed changes.
09-28-2016 , 08:47 AM
Def need more variety going forward. The $5.50, $22, $109 approach needs some changing. Def need an $11 in there and maybe even a $16.50 also.

The fact that all MTTs have practically the same structure also doesn't help. It gets very boring very quickly.

Also, been mentioned 100 times that satellites are terrible. They are all 6max despite most if not all majors are full ring. Then there are no major seat sats to $109s+ as mentioned above.

MTTs in general take too long as well and you should consider 2 days especially on weekends. At the very least trial it out and see.
09-28-2016 , 10:34 AM
+1 on some 9 handed $11 and $16.50 MTTs.
09-28-2016 , 12:22 PM
I think the most important thing about micro/low stakes (talking here about $5.5 tournaments since I don't know how $22 plays out) is to fix the structure.

By fixing structure I mean adding some inbetween blind levels - I always get shocked when I see a 24bb average stack in the Jab with 20-100 people left... its a pattern I see in the other featherweight tournaments as well.

You already have great turbo tournaments, why don't you make this structure deeper instead of it being a somewhat semi turbo. The duration of the blind levels is fine, just that the jumps need to be smaller.

Happy to see satellites for the 2017 Irish Open already, however the daily $22 feeder to the $109 final is scheduled at 03:00 CET, which seems kind of odd given it's mainly targeted towards European players. I think 22:00 CET would be a good time slot for this one.
09-29-2016 , 06:55 AM
Any chance you will lower amount of minimum five players back to three in $55 Caribbean Poker Party satellite to $530? You ran this sat three times every day, but there is very rarely five players from the start. Pretty much all satellites are cancelled. I understand that you want to avoid collusions, but minimum of 5 players is just too high for off-peak hours. Can you have a look at it, please? Thanks.

Well played.
09-29-2016 , 06:30 PM
Very nice. I'd focus some time and energy on making the 55 counter punch one of the better mtts on the site.
09-29-2016 , 06:39 PM
Agree. That thing neeeds to be 25k on weekends
09-29-2016 , 06:54 PM
There's room for more tournaments for sure. Especially for Sundays. Probably would change starting time for Counterpunch, there's currently too many vanilla tournaments starting at exactly same time: 20:00 CET. 1 hour change to either direction would be improvement imo.

By the way, now would also be a good time to re-introduce full table PLO8 / PLO tournaments since Stars did make virtually all their PLO / PLO8 MTTs 6-max and there's lots of players who just hate them. Just add few midstakes ones to daily program and I think re-introducing 22+r PLO8 with like 10 levels rebuy/latereg time would nail 5k guaranteed with current boosted MTT offering in Party. 50$ re-entry would probably make it as well, but you could make it Saturday tournament imo.

And rebuys, we want rebuys! With no rake from rebuys/add-ons you have a great advantage to take people both from PokerStars and iPoker network.
09-29-2016 , 07:48 PM
11$ buy in
33$ buy in

would be great succes. also just one daily decent rebuy could work too. could try a 33r with decent gtd. atm no site has really a big daily rebuy anymore, this could be your niche if you slap a big gtd on it, thing could be massive.

how theyre not raking more in that with higher traffic than they are now with like 1/4 of regs or more abbandoned the site is beyond me
to like x 2 throughout the day that was the best schedule

you have the worst software and customer service, you should at least combat that by giving the people what they want in a nice euro MTT schedule were other sites are lacking, before 888 eats up even more of your custom than it already has, hate being so negative cos i used to love your site but uve littrely raped it and then threw it in a bush.......then went back and shat in the bush then set it on fire.....then put the fire out with your own piss

nows your chance to rise like a pheonix from the ashes 1 x party
More or less in the same boat. Every once in awhile I check this thread to see if there's talk of bringing back the awesome r schedule. I seem to remember something about looking at it after the summer was over?
