Does not all the changes required are so obvious that everyone with a brain should feel a bit shy to repeat those things 100+ times? (Look at: T500, Minis, etc).
But if you wish:
- Don't treat micro- and low-stakes guys like brainless monkeys.
We love the game of poker and we want to play the game of poker. Nothing else. Why on the earth low-stakers does not have reg-speed freezout MTTs now at all?
Only 15 MTTs during 7 hours, only TWO reg-speed FO with 10 min levels. Surreal.
In addition 3 interesting Bounty Builders which cannot be counted as good-old reg-speed FOs tho.
Overall, 4 Deep Stacks (10 min lvls lol) during the whole day and THAT'S IT!
(Funniest thing is that there's 4 Ante Ups in addition, which get cancelled, just replace them with some good stuff, ffs)
As a consequence:
- Increase levels in new 8-max's up to 10 minutes.
- Add several $7.50, $11 8-max during the peak time.
- Add some $2.20+R or some $4.40+R.
- Add several regular speed multi-table tournaments $3.30-$11.
Moreover,
- Make low-mid Bigs playable.
It seems like Bounty Builders have OK-ish stacks late, but the Bigs are total joke now.
There was a lot of talks on VLT. The most obvious and really great decision is: to make it 8/10/12. How it could be possible that 4-digit payouts are the subjects of the pure gambling?
Today's Big $33 final table lasts no longer than 40 minutes, with avg stacks 15-20BBs on it. How it could be possible that flagship daily series becomes crapshoot when it comes to really big money?
Then, sattys.
Why do you get rid of Turbo, Deep format for Bigs?
There's some Bigs that still has those, but mostly it was turned into hypers.
Now, if we look at the whole Big's satellite offering, it's pretty obvious that it is almost does not exist.
I hope this is some sort of a mistake, since it's unbelievable, every Big now has not more than 3 sats.
So,
- Add more Turbo, Deep and rebuy sats letting low-stakes guys to play at least something now at your site.
That's it.
Last year I've played like ~6000 MTTs at PS with ABI $8.
Now I highly doubt I will open PS again ever after the SCOOP.
I never thought, I ever make it but... Yestreday I've downloaded PartyPoker client.
