I will check and feedback before I answer as I do not want to give you the incorrect info


On another note - following feedback - we have reinstated NL full ring games in the lobby due to popular request for $2/$4

Can you change the how the FT bubble works, there is always one more hand dealt when the 10th player busts and if one table takes forever playing this hand then hands keep getting dealt at the other. Should the two tables not merge when 10th player is gone.

Also really enjoyed the powerfest series, keep it up.

Hi Colette,

Congrats on running a successful Powerfest.

Do you have any updates to share on a better PLO8 schedule? Also, is it possible to post a rough schedule before you implement it? There are some on 2+2 members that would be able to provide feedback.

Cheers,
James

Please keep the rebuys like they are now without the 10bb latereggers. Powerfest was great!

I can see why. Four out of six rebuys overlayed today. More than half of these does, while for one week with "latereggers" they didn't overlay almost at all even when people didn't know about the change.

Good for overlay-hunters (short term), bad for Party if they want to make money if they keep this structure instead of great 12/12 one. Adding it to 109+r for Sunday with larger stacks (maybe 4k / 10k) would help to grow it as well.

Not sure if Colette noticed this but it'd be great if you could check this as well although end of the week is still long way to go. I think it does work with starting time (meaning all tournaments that start before 04.00 EST in Su/Mo night counts to earlier week) but would be good to know for sure

Just a question about this rule: "$1 Million Summer Giveaway Leaderboard runs from Monday (04:00 EST/ 10.00CET) and ends on the following Monday (03:59 EST / 09.59CET)" Does it count tournaments that start before Monday 4 am EST but finish after deadline to which week?
Some rebuy-sats to those 109 / 530 events would be great as well

the 5k structure was again too fast
why do you still keep the average highroller structure for a special series in a 5k

Play our $109 Uppercut $50K GTD @8pm CET and grab leaderboard points for Punta Cana:

Where are rebuys? I came home earlier just to play them and they are gone. Could you maintain your schedule for some time and not change it every few days?
05-25-2016 , 01:57 PM
What happened to the 109 super ko?

Yup also noticed they were gone, Colette, I really hope you'll not take them away permanently, those are great games, please give them the chanse to grow! What about starting them 1 hr earlier/later? Or replace 10/20 with a 15$ with a bigger gtd? Sure people will play this if gtd was biggger :-)

Thanks!

Very sad here. I don't understand what Party is doing, they just deliberately killed rebuys again. Even though it was clear that they would thrive in their previous form.

WP re-entrylovers. It would be interesting to see how other tournaments fare during summer, but I guess that I won't be around to see them any more. 888, MPN, Stars.fr, iPoker and other smaller sites and networks certainly thank for new players you decided to send them.
05-25-2016 , 05:41 PM
Good move to delete the rebuys, there is a zero chance that those would survive the summer, even during Powerfest they overlayed.
Would be lovely to see some freezeout with decent Prizepool in exchange.
17:00CET is empty, would supprt an 22FO with 5k
19:00CET 109KO with 10k back pls

Sunday100r needs to be gone too

Nice Promo with your caribean, but i just dont get it, why you give 60k weekly to the best players on your site, makes no sense at all.

You should use those 60k and give them to rec players to make them play more. Could easily make challenges play 5x 22$ and get 1 ticket for free.
This is just a waste of marketing resources, as only a few player gonna fire more games .
Could make the109$ 50k and 22$ 15k special days, Mo, We, Fri, those days, when overlay is likely and give the first 9 Players something special, added ticket for sunday major for example. This would make players play more, 60k weekly will achieve pretty much nothing.

So people don't like overlays? A lot of players played them just because of it at the same time adding some freezouts, turbos etc. so it was good for overall traffic. Rebuys overlayed during Powerfest because there was plenty other options to play so traffic was divided etc. The big issue are constant changes of schedule, timeslotes, structures. It is hard to keep up with everything so people may be discouraged and would eventually stop playing.

These have been removed due to summer season cuts
They will likely return in Sep

Again - removed from the schedule due to summer season cuts however we are currently reviewing feedback regarding this tourney in particular
05-26-2016 , 08:00 AM
[QUOTE=Party_Rep;50081494]I will check and feedback before I answer as I do not want to give you the incorrect info

I can confirm - Re-entries will be counted separately for each individual entry made and total points will be the sum of all the re-entries made.

I can confirm the decision has been made to reinstate this to the schedule with a lower GTD of $12,500K

Further to this - our 19:00 CET knockouts are all now Super Knockouts
Please see below:

$11 – Featherweight: $2,000 GTD Knockout has become “Featherweight: $2,000 Super Knockout” – it now issues $5 bounties instead $2

$55 – Middleweight: $7,500 GTD Knockout has become “Middlewieght: $7,500 Super Knockout” – it now issues $25 bounties instead of $10

Thanks

Colette

Hi Colette,

Rake is way too high in those super KO's, 5 dollar rake while only 25$ goes to the prizepool is unreal (in those 55 dollars), please concider change this to a lower number... I'll skip those games when rake is '20 percent'

Thanks
05-26-2016 , 08:59 AM
Have to agree somewhat. 109 is borderline but 55 is def too much for sko. Should be 54 tops
05-26-2016 , 08:59 AM
But thanks for reinstalling the 109

Even 4$ is too much, this game was also running till 6 months ago, buy in was 27.5+25+2.5 rake
05-26-2016 , 09:09 AM
Now that powerfest is finished, any feedback on adding some more off peak tourneys? 11 rebuys, 11 freezeouts, 5 rebuys? Anything really

Cheers!

Thank you so much for this.

I was just going to type up requesting that you add super KO's in the $11-$55 buy ins as it appears that the $109 version seemed popular.

I used to play the $55 super KO back when it was on Sunday's and it was by far my favorite MTT.

Thanks. Also, I agree with other re rake. Could this be looked at.
