Hi Baard,

It has been almost one month since the NLO8 hypers were implemented at the $1.50, $3.50 and $7.00 levels and they seem to have taken off.

Seeing how the current PLO hypers are offered at $1.50, $3.50, $7.00, $15.00, $30.00 and $100.00 (and the ability to register for 3 tournaments at a time for all except the $100), do you think it's time to have similar offerings for the NLO8 variant?

I am confident that these will do well if offered at a $15 and $30 buyin and it doesn't hurt to have a $100 "high roller" one in there for those that want to play it. The $100 will not impact in liquidity of the games in any way, as the players who currently want to play this high are not playing the $7s long term anyways.

I'm sure others share the same sentiment that I do. If you need others to come in and express this, I'll be happy to get some O8 regulars to come in. The bottom line is, these games by far been more popular than PLO as PLO is more popular in a cash game format.

Thanks for reading!

How would you want tournament registration to be handled:
Option 1) Every time this automated system registers you for a SNG automatically, a pop-up asks you to confirm by clicking 'OK'.
Option 2) Once you have turned this automated system on, you are automatically registered for SNG based on your inputs without any interaction or confirmation. However, if your keyboard and mouse are both inactive for 3 minutes, the system is 'turned off'.

Keep in mind that there would be no refunds or goodwill credits issued if you were registered for SNG that you did not intend to register for.

b and 2 pls, or 1 with a turn off notification button.

i am pretty sure the ability to register at 3 tourneys of one buyin level would push the amount of o8-hypers played even further.

additional i am really missing the higher buyin levels. i even had to start playing PLO hypers because of that, which i d rather not (playing plo and nlo8 multitable can get pretty confusing).

yesterday i played 174 hypers of PLO and 162 hypers of nlO8. i always registered for ALL 7$ and 15$ buyin tourneys available and some 3,5$. so i get a lousy 12 PLO tourneys more even though i did register on 6! tourneys similar.
comparing PLO-hypers and nlO8-hypers it´s obvious the PLO-hypers are the sucker, barely able to compete, even with desperate o8 players grinding them. and still THEY get the higher buyins and THEY can register to more tourneys.

wtf is wrong with O8, why do we get treated like a ***** ugly insect hiding under a stone?

+1. The micro stakes are very popular - pretty sure that higher buy ins would be very popular too.

Cheers,

its not flat 25%.. you still need to rake 1k/month to get it, so casuals will have to settle for 10% or whatever you get at non-diamond status

http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/edge though you can add like 3-5% to it from points buying bonuses, and maybe some extra from happy hours and sng leaderboards. So i would recon regs will get like 32-35%

Oh, well that sucks.

I never played on Tilt. They had higher rake on SNGs also from what I've read OTF. Is this true?
