I think this would be "good for the game"

http://bonuscodepoker.com/amaya-comb...ts-into-fucoop

Payouts would obv have to be flattened even further... to something like 10% though.

Then it'd be good for the game.

Have been seeing reports of William Hill possibly merging with Amaya.. if this happens mtts will take a big hit since William Hill doesn't accept Brazilians, Belgians, Bulgarians, Indians (huge market). I hope this doesn't happen or else there won't be sunday million in the future

Added tickets - e.g. $215 tickets which could be advertised mainly as 'Sunday Million' tickets, but actually be available to use for any $215 tourney so people in particular timezones don't have to stay up all night for it.
Obviously the particular tickets given out would increase in size depending on the buy-in of the Big - about five times value of the buy-in perhaps.
Also, as I strongly dislike having 140 minutes late registration, I would have the tickets awarded to a random table after 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes. This would also encourage more recs to enter

brazil's pbb the single largest nation to provide players, so would def leave a big hole in the playerpool.

edit: come to think of it, it pbb wont interfere w the poker aspect of Amaya and the merge will mainly focus on their betting ventures and casino games. but who knows what will happen if the merge will even happen at all.

Don't log in for a few days and get more great new offerings thanks.

8 re entries on a "major" good one. Care to elaborate when vanilla mtts will be totally eliminated from the schedule?

"I don't want a deeper structure in the Bigs because they already last quite a long time. In most cases, they already have larger guarantees."

Too many things to go into with that statement but I'll give it a go.

In the past didn't better structure and increased pp's work for weekends and rec players?

Also the keyword in your sentence is "I".
Does I mean that I don't want.... and forget what the customer is asking for?
Haven't the GTD's been dropping on the Bigs since the Amaya "good for the game" changes been implemented?

I know we're gonna comfort ourselves and pass the blame (so we can sleep easy at night wrapped in our failure) to summer, sporting events, possible coming storms, different countries, full moons, global climate change, Brexit voters or Chocolate factory Oompa Loompa Midgets but maybe it's something else?

And lastly, Maybe your customer base isn't the gambling poo slinging monkeys that some think they are and don't want to play a tournament that pays 13%-14% ish up top.

Maybe they've done something silly and broke out a calculator and applied some 3rd grade math and have found out that this is horrid to their ROI?

As a customer i would prefer to keep the structures in the Bigs as they are.

Do you guys really believe rec EU players like to play biggers till 7a.m?

it's a "fun" hyper-turbo 8-themed tournament, I see no issue here.

Thanks Luke!

If you further remove the 60/120 level the structure would be close to equivalent to the one of the other Omania High Rollers (analogue to 8game structure)

If you compare re-entries per entry it shows that the number for LO8 is still too low (all numbers taken from this week).
0.41 LO8
0.63 PLO8
0.47 PLO
0.57 5cPLO

The play towards end of late reg is quite 'splashy', but this is the nature of all 320s.
With more total entries you might be able to raise the Gtd in the future and hopefully more people join early on.
Same story last week:
0.4 LO8
0.63 PLO8
0.53 PLO
0.72 5cPLO
0.62 NLO8

Removing 60/120 would help to get that number closer to the others.

William Hill does accept Brazilian players.

It had a "blackout period" in the past, but earlier this year most of the UK sites who have closed doors to the gray markets have re-opened them.
