So the micro millions finished as always enjoyed it a lot few deep runs still waiting for my first win ,, all I would say to improve a great schedule is make the knockouts deeper starting with 2500 is a pain in the ars.e and make a deepstacked tourny with 15min blinds early an mid stages an 20latestages even if as to be a 2day event would be really good to have in the micro millions schedule

With better structure for the 55$ FO, you mean early antes right? If this is the case, thanks a lot.

some great changes in the last post bryan. good to see you are listening

+1

+2

good to see some positive news

Bryan?

Nice. Also it would be great if you add one $11 Deep Non Turbo like the ones we had during wcoop.

more satties to alllllll its good for everybody

FWIW this isn't the worst spot on the schedule to have 2 midstake deepstacks. This is pretty much smack bang at the start of peak hour which is the perfect place for them. They may even compliment eachother and boost their fields. I would also love to see a $109 deepstack starting around the 265 ko.

Nice post, Bryan!

Very pleased to read this post, Bryan. Thank you

yeah these would be great, whether you want to do $5.50, $7.50, $11 or even $16.50 I'm sure some of us would play a ton of them

thanks for the feedback bryan

Bryan, did you have a chance to look at smoothing out the hyper MTT structure to balance out some of the recent rake increases?

I agree with your rationale for adding the $82s for non-holdem games. However, the offerings for these games at steps below $82 is quite poor; mainly due how unpopular these games were 5+ years ago.

Is it time to standardized the game offerings for Razz, Stud 8, 8-game, NL2-7, 2-7 Triple Draw, Limit O8 to something similar to what the HORSE MTT ecology currently looks like? Consolidate some of the non-guarantee tournaments that start around the same time, add a small guarantee and give it 60 mins late reg and these will be fine.

It's kinda a joke how badly 8-game, NL2-7, 2-7TD are misrepresented in the MTT lobby. These games are not unpopular, the tournaments that are offered are just subpar.

If you're going to keep the $82s the way they are, can you at least make two changes?
1) Swap the times of the $82 PLO8 (Saturday at 12:00) and $82 NLO8 (Sunday at 12:30). You will almost certainly cannibalize the $55 PLO8 (Saturday at 13:15) and the $82 NLO8 PKO (Sunday at 13:15).

By swapping, you at least separate the two games so that there is some differentiation.

2) Modify structure of $82 PLO8 and $82 PLO to the Omania structure.

-The biggest reason these two tournaments didn't get as many runners was because the structure was too fast. Changing from 3k to 5k won't have a huge affect on the speed of play, it'll be about the same.
-Please look at the NLO8 at level 8 (last level for late reg) and compare it to the PLO/PLO8.
NLO8 level 8 is 60/120 while the PLOs is 200/400.

-----------

Lastly (sorry for the long post), it looks like a few NLO8 tournaments were reverted back to PLO8. Can you provide the reasoning behind this? The $11 turbo rebuy at 21:05 seemed to run 80-85% of the time. By changing it to PLO8, it's going to run at a much lower rate. It seems like the team responsible for making changes do not play poker at all. There have been several reasonable "quick fix" solutions suggested for O8 and they've been ignored.

Sounds good if you're bringing them back soon enough so players who still plays those $215 don't decide to drop O8 from the game program due to "no offering" any more.

I hope they'll be back in 1-2 weeks. That should also give you small sample of how new 82$ tournaments start to get people without them and after that with them. You could have just lowered 215$ guaranteeds a bit while still keeping them.

For me main reason I don't really play O8 tournaments any more is that I like to concentrate on playing 1 format at a time (mainly either Texas NL or O8) and there's simply not enough tournaments nowadays to play just O8 even 4-6 tables at a time. Especially with larger buy-ins (22$+) in weekends, with Full Tilt and most other sites which have removed their O8 tournaments. It just doesn't make sense grinding some 4,4$ tournaments alongside 215$ or even 82$ tournaments.

Also, I'd like to note that I don't play NLTX tournaments in Stars. So if I play in Stars.eu, it's either good O8 session or almost nothing at all. Last months I've been playing around 90+% of my games elsewhere.

Any progress on this please Bryan? I replied already but 8game/Thurs/either is good and other people like the idea too.

Hope the 215s can return at some point soon after this experinment and we have a three tier system of 82s, 215s and 500-1ks. Gl to everyone in the 82s in my absence ;-) thanks

Thank you for listening and having a dialogue here on 2+2.

the 11$ turbo run well for the 82$ PSKO nlo8.
but i the 7,50$ deep
could you put some 11$ deep in aswell?

and 8.40 hyper turbo deep but not if theres even a hint of ****ING re entry bull****!!!!!!

Introduce something like sharkscope just did, http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...-deck-1489917/


People love those badges, seems very easy to implement and will be a lot of fun for recreationals/pros.

lovin the cheapskate badge lol

Just make sure you charge an exorbitant amount for it too.

Bryan. after smashing the guarentee buy 10k can we have at least the NL08 $215 back this weekend please.

Also the $7.50 hyper runs at 4am uk any chance of a similar one in the middle of the day for uk players.

Also one more Progressive knockout 08 mtt around 20.00 - 11.00 WET would be great or an $11r as there is no decent mtts in the 5$-$15 range bar the ante up near the $27 Omania

*The structure in the $13.50 ko at 12.05 WET could also be increased to 2500-3000 chips as it is such a luckbox mtt.

I +1 this.

+ 100?

Bring them back.

+1 even so i won it last week more starting chips would be nice!
