How about the non turbo 8-handed NLC8 SNGs you spoke about:

Based on earlier experience I am convinced it would run 24/7 if it was 24-handed, non turbo and especially if we could register multiple tournaments. Courchevel is such a great game Courchevel players will be the heaviest users you'll get.

The 6 mans PLC8 fills up slower than the 48 mans NLC8,
Which in turn fills much faster than comparable NLO8 SNGs.
If you had 8, 16 or 24 mans NLC8 they would run 24/7 and become very popular.
Especially, I can't stress that enough, if you let us multiregister them (talking from 6 years of experience).

In this thread we are discussing NLC8:

PokerStars, could we please play No Limit Courchevel 8 all day?

thank you so much. I cant wait to try it out

Also, is there any possibility of adding a bb25000 level in the 180s. The only game it would be practical is the 3r, but I certainly feel like its worthy of being added.

Hello all,

Just wanted to inform you that the 'I'm ready' button should be available for all STTs.

Thanks,

Hi

I would suggest super ko mtt sngs, 90/180/360

based pretty much on 3 rebuys blind structure, but with 5k start stack,

Limits:
.50c/.50c+ whatever standard rake in ts, increasing to 1/2/4/8/16 etc, it combats the high variance in the turbo games and in theory should attract a whole new player pool, def just pay standard payouts, ie pay 10% of field, probably been mentioned a thousand times before but just thought id mention it, haven't really thought of the cons but am sure there are plenty..

Hey Baard,

I'd really appreciate it if you could show the number of VPPs gained per MTTSNG in the info popup of the lobby, in line with single table sngs.

I know the calculation, but it would be helpful all the same!

Thanks!

Not only is this info already available, it's in exactly the same place for MTTSNGs as it is for STTs and scheduled tourneys

Hey Baard what do you mean by this? 'Im ready' button for single table tournaments? Are there breaks in STTs? Are there any plans for adding the 'Im ready' button for 180man final tables?

Hello all,

Just a few matters to attend to:

In this thread we are discussing NLC8:

I would not mind trying out a $1.50 NLC8 6 Max tournament and see how it is received. The reason we prefer 6 Max over 8 Max is that it is consistent with the other Omaha games.

I’ll let you know when the tournaments are deployed.

Since the MTT offering is not my responsibility I will forward this request to the appropriate people. In the future, you can direct such suggestions to the MTT thread.

We are in the process of considering converting one of the current 90 man tournaments into a progressive KO tournament. It will most likely be with the same blind structures as the other 90 man tournaments of the same speed.

The STTs don’t have breaks, but the players can use this functionality to skip the initial pause between getting seated and the first hand being dealt. We will introduce this button on final tables of MTT SNGs very soon.

Thanks,
Baard

I dont know if this was asked before if it is the case i appologize. First, why there isnt a MTTSNGs leaderboard for 45+? Those games are really popular. And seconddly, why not deploying a multiple registration feature for 45s/90s/180s like you have on the STTs format? Like in hypers, you can registered up to for 4 6Max hypers tables at the same time for EACH BUY IN, imagine been able to register for 4x $3r turbos 180s at the same time or 4x $15 turbos 45s, that will fill those games a lot faster and recreational player will be a lot more willing to register for a game that is about to start, something like this for 45/90/180 (both turbos and non turbos)

No, it really won't fill them faster

Firing off of these games is driven by a lot of regs playing them, and only the remaining spots are filled by the casual player, who might only be playing maybe only one or two tables. The regs would obviously be in all of the open lobbies, but the randoms would choose different lobbies, because they don't know where the other randoms are, spreading them thinner and delaying the action.

This has been done before ITT

im sure im not the only one who is very curious about this

Hello all,

From today, all MTT SNGs with Sync Breaks have the I'm ready button on the final table so that players can jointly agree to skip the breaks.

Thanks,
Baard

The MTTSNG blind structure is so outdated.

The 100, 150 and 200 levels are absolutely useless. There is no room for play, just being nitty and boring.

Please add 10% antes to all these levels. Regs always want antes and recs will enjoy having more action as opposed to the current foldfest.

So your solution to "no room for play" is to make there less room for play? Are you mad?

If what you actually want is a shovefest, go play hypers.

-1 all day.

wtf are you talking about? SNGs are always a shovefest, regardless if there are or aren't antes. You are aware the average stack at those levels is 12-13 BB, right?

I don't understand by what sort of crazy logic you end up at "antes give less room for play".

Antes make it so it's correct to play more hands, so there will be more play.
