Maybe consider putting back the $215 on their original time slot and the $82 2 hours after that ?
We'll see how it plays out for a while, and then decide if any changes are necessary. As things are scheduled now, the very earliest one is set to start at 2pm UK / 3pm Central Europe, with late registration until 4pm/5pm... I tend to think that it'll be fine, but we'll continually evaluate them, I assure you.

Playing this KO-week and this $82 6 max progressive super-ko is an amazing tournament. Really need a tournament like this added to everydays schedule, 109 buyin would be perfect and would easily reach 60k+ gtd

250/500 (a50) has been inserted at Level 12 in the above mentioned tournaments.
Now please add it in all the other 15min late ante tours, such as $109 10k, $8.8r 12.5k, $55 7.5k, 22$1r1a 15k, $55 10k are the ones that currently cross my mind (all of the above are non-turbo). Also $8.81r1a 10k

I vote for a 82$ 9max with variable blind levels, don't think I've ever enjoyed a structure/mtt that much. Should be huge on sundays

PKOs are so good as 6max. A Sunday Major to that effect would be amazing.
12-10-2014 , 07:50 PM

12-10-2014 , 08:51 PM
The 109 turbo prog ko six max , could run everyday... such a sexy beast
12-10-2014 , 08:53 PM

I agree with this, but also need to generate more of a player pool in that time as well.

I'll take a look at the Omania structures for PLO and PLO8 and see if the Weekly $82s and $215s could benefit from using the Omania versions.

Edit: one issue there, of course, is that the Omania structure, while deeper... is meant to be played with 10-minute levels. If it's used in the $215s, with 15-minute levels, it could be interminably slow.
Bryan,

You are giving conflicting answers regarding the Omaha games. The $82 NLO8 currently uses the Omania structure with 15 minute levels. I had criticized the tournament for being too slow and suggested changing it to 12 minutes and giving the $215 a deeper 15 minutes because of the smaller field size.

When you replied, you strongly disagreed with my analysis/suggestion, yet you are saying the PLO and PLO8 should be played with 12 minutes? You need to be consistent with your stance and make both 15 or both 12.

I strongly believe making the $215s 15 and $82s 12 using the Omania structures would bring out more players to these games (especially the $215s). It also give players a platform to prepare for WCOOP/SCOOP where structures are the absolute nuts. The $82s would be similar to a SCOOP L/M while the $215s would be slightly worse than a WCOOP structure.

what?

New counter showing equity when all in. Came with the update and cant seem to be able to turn it off unless I cant find the button.

Im sure recreational players love it but def should be optional.

yeah I'm getting a popup telling me I can disable the allin equity thing but can't find it in the settings.

Also seems kind of strange that my playmoney balance appears to be more prominent than my cash balance in the new look cashier!

When I switch from favourites to main lobby I'm now taken straight to Spin N Go, lol. Subtle...

The option is in Settings --> Gameplay --> Show / Muck Hands --> Show Chances of Winning when All-In.

This feature is currently only in some clients at the moment, but is being rolled out to others as they're updated.

thanks Bryan. It'd make a lot more sense if it were in Settings > Table Appearance > Table Display though.
12-11-2014 , 12:30 PM
Hi Bryan,

Any reference to the red rebuys idea?

Also what about a weekly 50 or 100 cubed major with a nice guarntee, think monday is a good slot , Call it the MONDAY CUBED or somthing, would be nice to have a non turbo deepstacked major , structures on ftp are way better than ps for most reg speed mtts, (5k starting stacks etc)

Cheers. Assume this is for 7 though. Where abouts is it in 6?

I understand your point, but there really isn't a conflict here. The structures for PL and NL are different. As for whether or not the $82 NLO8 Weekly is too slow, we can talk about that, but it's not (necessarily) related to the PLO8 or PLO. (As it happens, by the way, the durations of the Weekly NLO8 tournaments are, by far, the longest of the Weekly $82s... so perhaps a switch to 12-minute levels is in order if they're to continue to use that structure.)

Edit: after some discussion, we've decided that for the Weeklies ($82 and $215), in Omaha, where we have an Omania structure to use (PL/NL), it makes sense and is consistent to use the Omania structure and go with 12-minute levels. Thanks for pointing this out, b_jia.
