Luke, any updates on Game of the Week promo idea? And when will you be making changes to the non-nlhe(draw/mixed games) schedule? I hope you haven't forgotten those comments made by some mixed/draw games regs earlier this year :P Some of those comments came from players like Adam Owen(2p2 id Tentacle), Benny Glaser (Hero_value) - these guys are true mixed game players and they were hugely disappointed with the new non-nlhe schedule.

And why has there not been a stud and draw week promo this year yet? This is what you had commented regarding stud/draw week promo earlier this year
Quote:
Stud and Draw week was considered a success. If you have suggestions to make it better, feel free to leave them here. There is a higher chance of repeating that promotion with some improvements than coming up with a new mixed game promotion. That is purely speculation on my end, though.

Hey Luke. Pls make the 109 4k at 17.25 ET a prsko. You could snap increase the gtd to 10k and it will make it a far better tournament. The 109 daily bounty builder is one of the best in the schedule and demand for more 55+ Prsko's is huge.

Also on Sunday after the Sunday wrap up pls add a 109 prsko wrap up and an $82 turbo prsko. These would be good Sunday saver tourneys. We don't have any turbo prsko's that are 9 max and those used to be a lot of fun. I remember the 27 prsko turbo being huge everyday. I think if a 109 bb started at the same time or 30 mins after the Sunday wrap up it would garner a large player pool. Also now that re-entries are possible in prsko's, add it to this 109. A 109 re-entry bounty builder would be great late on a Sunday and would be huge with everyone chasing a score.

Either way we need something more to accompany the Sunday wrap up. The 162 bb starts an hour and a half later and there is a gap before it to add some more stuff.

Cheers Luke

Hey come on, the 1$R 3x-Turbo at 14.15 ET was 60k two years ago. You can't expect a 100$ tourney to have more than that.

3x MTTs are a totally different animal. They killed it with the new rake system (splash crap)

I have a complaint about the 530 EPT sattelite. The late registration period is too long and changes the way it should be approached. For example, today it had a payout structure of 1st getting a 7k package, 2-7 1k and 8th ~300. At this point mincashing is both pretty likely and very relevant and you sort of base your last hour of play around. Now late registration dinked it to two packages and third cashing 900 at the last minute. Thus fundementally altering how the tournament should be played.

Now I know you can anticipate this etc but its pretty hard to geussimate when you're not minutes away from the registration deadline. Also I have a bunch of other tables up and its pretty tiring to have to do lobby projections all the time.

Please don't do this. There are barely any normal tourneys on the schedule as it is, so sick of gimmicks.

i dont think bubble rush tourneys are popular enough as it planned.

something like this format would do better:
regular turbo at the start (5min blind levels till 10% remaining of total runners, then 12minutes and 15min for FT so blind level change are not depending on ITM, but the important thing is that whole tourney would only pay 5% of participations).
with one reentry.

did u change the payout of the 162 ultra deep? 71 players and 7 cashes, would be very bad to play for 6h that tournament reach the FT and not even cashing... something like 12,5%-15% of the field and a bigger difference between 1st and 3rd places (like old 109quads used to be) would be the nuts imo

@Luke

For the $2.20 PL Badugis, could you please consider:

- Adding in the missing blind levels (15/30, 25/50, 60/120, 125/250 etc.)
- Making them NOT PSKO. It does not suit this game type at all and the prizepools end up absurdly top heavy.

Yup Badugi's payout needs to be looked at. PSKO makes it way too top heavy.

So maybe they're slowly changing it, because they reactivated old accounts.

I received an email from WH (and Paddypower too) a few months ago saying "We're now accepting players from your country again, come back to play" or something similar.

That was shortly after Partypoker did the same.

Just quoting Luke from the 10th of this month

I'm going to be looking at guarantees this week. As I've said before, I'm not going to aggressively increase guarantees during our major series. Last week was the first week post-WCOOP; therefore, I'll be adjusting guarantees this week.

Hows the above going, or are you on holidays again, perhaps you need someone to help you manage guarantees?

Edit - just seen you have increased the offpeak big 11 from 7.5k to 8k next week (it was 8k a little bit ago iirc) you do know it got over 11k on a friday right? Sick boost there.

yeah i'm pretty much done posting in here, i do see he has increased some guarantees after i made that post, but it's something that continually needs to be monitored, i'ts mind boggling that the biggest poker site in the world appears to have exactly one person managing there mtt schedule.
