Don't worry, that won't be the case.

Yesterday isn't seen as a negative. We smashes guarantee in almost every tournament. The $109 got more runners than the $215, we just need to tweak some stuff there. There was also a live party poker tournament yesterday (Montreal Millions which for $5.7m prizepool) and had a lot of runners who would have definitely played/Z fired multiple bullets.

We will continue to run (often overlayed and basically rake free or better) satalites throughout the week and will be putting a lot of social media emphasis.

Improving clock, removing other tournaments around it, pushing it even further on social media, work of mouth marketing etc will hopefully improve the performance for next week, but let's see.

Again, really refreshing to see people concerned about a site having overlays and wanting to make sure they survive.

I think there was so many amazing tournaments yesterday in the site, I imagine most "regs" had multiple party tables loaded up all day and hopefully will continue doing so for the next 2 weeks.

I don't think that matters so much considering time required to finish, as it has 1st level as 200/400/40. Because it has so huge amount of players those extra levels and 20 min levels at the end of tournament (+ as said, the fact that blinds stop at 1,6M/3,2M/320k, when there's 75bb avg. left when guaranteed is reached).

And yeah, if you want large amount of re-entries then you really should aim late reg to stop around 10bb deep. Now it is almost 20bb deep when late reg finishes. Some quick fixes would be to make starting stack 50k, introduce 150/300/30 level and make 20 min levels 15 min instead (or 18, even that would reduce running time by about one hour, with starting stack change doing another hour - additional re-entries).

In addition to satellites, quick ad hoc-promotion like awarding 215$ tickets to Sunday tournament for Powerfest-players could also be a nice answer. Like "play 30 Powerfest-tournaments this week - receive 215$ ticket to Sunday event".

Still I think something needs to change. If next weeks is the same structure as this weeks, that would be enough reason not to play that event.

This way, had the gtd been reached, the heads up after 16.5 hours would have played with an avg stack of 75bb. I think even if you'd have a break after 9 hours of play, day two would still be very/too long.

Please make it a phase with a second day next time this was painful

17 hours when most of us started playing 6 hours before, is a slog. Im sure the final 3 didnt care but its too long.

Also nice for railbirds to log in and see the FT, can build social media promo around that. Maybe record and stick it on youtube or whatever with someone on comms.

Reason why that 215 took so long

-trippled starting stack
-added even a few levels to an already deep structure
-increased the level times

I'm hopeful they will fix at least one of those things next sunday. I fully agree this running time is too long for a 1-day tournament.

Yea, it just continues to baffle me how people have been requesting 2-day tournaments for these 15hr+ marathons, yet Party doesn't manage to deliver series after series. :/

I quit my session about when tournie was down to 40 players and it was 12 hours in. If it really took another 5 hours then there's definitely need for day two. Could you answer Colette why is Party taking such a strong stance against 2-day events, even though 2-day (or even 3) are more than market standard in 2017?


With faster structures busted people would've probably fired more of those re-entries, so I'm guessing overall runtime would've stayed about the same?

And kinda have to agree on hiring the pro players when I saw Dmitry Urbanovich added to roster... I mean didn't he have his hot run years ago and has been pretty absent ever since?

Also check how many ppl are railing big PokerStars FTs, and getting excited to play in the next edition with the hopes of final tabling. I doubt Party achieves same kind of observer exposure when their biggest tournaments conclude like Monday 11-12am?

Sucks because these changes are GOOD things!

They could probably even make a 2 day manually no?

Hi everyone:

I'm thinking of buying this special HUD for tournaments https://www.pokerhuds.com/mtt-hud-ho...r-2-notecaddy/

It use Hm2 and Notecaddy, is it against the rules on Party?

Also Patrick or Colette do you have news of future restrictions to HUDs and 3rd party softwares? ty

Excellent and useful addition here <3

I think the low staked powerfests structures are fine! Good Job. I went deep in one yesterday. Maybe could make blind levels longer on final table? I busted just before final table but noticed the final table went really really quick.

I don't get people are complaining about overlays. The high guarantees attract more.players to the site. And essentially, the people who are playing from the start benefit from the extra money added to the prize pool.

Win win for us

No update with further ecology changes to share - sorry

yeah its great and free value/money but its also really bad long term if powerfest is a $215 $50k guarantee next year and not a milly

i really want party to do well, and there getting close, i do think the biggest leak you guys have is your software, i have no idea how these things work but if you can afford a 300k overlay surely you can afford someone to change the eye cancer that is the client and tables

with regards to the shedule it has some gaps in the $55 and below were i have to supplement with tables from other sites if u guys made some other mtts (il get to this after powerfest) the i could see my self playing only on party

good job on most things just some tweeks needed to be that extra level

We hope to improve schedule after powerfest. I think, looking at how all the 22s have been smashing the guaranteeds lately, there's a lot of untapped potential in the low/midstakes.

yeah like every single one of these bowl $22 1.5k guarantees inbetween contender and brawl 2 could be 5k+ and every human on party would fire them, more rake for them, more people staying on party and not having to go elsewere have no idea why they have 4-5 22 and 5 mtts with 500-2k guara at peak time these would be must plays if didnt gave $400 ftw

I'm going to throw this out there again.

Re: 6-max turbo mtt's.

I play almost every one of these $5.50 & 22's. I understand the reasonably small gtd's on the majority, but PLEASE, make one a daily major. Maybe 1.5hrs after jab/contender/uppercut, start and put a $5k on the $22 and maybe $2k on the $5.50.

Not every single one needs to be a generally withered gtd.

party poker no longer takes argentinians new players? its about to close here in arg?

the players playing them were also targets of very big marketing campaign to recruit new players to the site. many players got free tickets through the post.

Hopefully we can successful retain them.

I have no info on this.

Collete maybe?

Party Rep, I'm really liking your increased micro-low stakes schedule. It's a huge improvement from before. I'm in Asia and I have lots of MTTs to grind all night whereas before they were all concentrated in a small 3-4 hour window. The added pkos are great for variety and the phases are good too. I'd like to see more phases in the future. You must be doing something right because I'm seeing a lot more rec. players than before. Keep up the good work!

I've always felt that every set of instructions should be subject to a Kid Test. Show the display to an intelligent 10 year old who understands the subject (in the case of poker, probably someone who has watched a relative play online and understands how how everything works.) If the kid can't understand the instructions they need to be rewritten.

I thought it was cool when I got the physical tickets in the post. Also hopefully brings back some lapsed players.
New structures are much much better, for my liking a tiny bit quick towards the end but much smoother overall
