OK I know that this has been mentioned before, but I think it's pretty important... When you run out of timebank it is really difficult to tell exactly when your hand will be folded. Last night when I was deep in a tournament, and had somehow run out my timebank, I was somewhat panicked in my decisions because I was afraid my hand would be folded at any moment. This is also a problem early when you have put no money in the pot.

Bottom line There needs to be a visual cue as to when exactly your hand will be folded, I hate to always compare to FTP, but they do this very well and it is extremely clear when the hand will be folded

just a small thing thats been irking me for a while:

in the tournament lobby, the lower left corner has a spread sheet of table number, players, largest stack, and smallest stack.

just seems like we should be able to click on the title of the column and sort it. it particularly helps in shootouts to be able to see the amount of players at each table.

yes!

Bryan - can you do anything about the $1r turbo $1k guarantee? the prize pool tonight is nearly $14k. this is still the funnest (word?) tourney ever, however a $1k guar is a little silly unless its guaranteeing how much i am going to be in for

pls remove the 5/10 blind levels from the big ante tournaments. Its pointless with a 3k starting stack

keep it for the freezeout big ante tournaments, but get rid of it for the $50 rebuy turbo big ante. that tourney needs a faster rebuy period to encourage some more action.

probably been mentioned a million times already, but a turbo night once a week would just be so cool

Bryan,

Is there a reason why the daily 30K ($11) has such a cool payout structure and none of the other low/micro ones do? The first payout included a couple of hundred of players. Played the 30K and $5 20k this weekend(both about 7K runners) and the payout is so different. The 20k has like $1 jumps where the 30K between 5 and 10.

Thanks.

I understand why it could happen, but seating all late registrants together *seems* like a mistake to me. Is there not a way to siphon players off other tables to ensure a random table composition? Again maybe it doesn't matter, but seems off.

How are the blinds still 10/20?

how about a $20-30 tournament at some point between 14:00ET and 16:00ET similar to ftp. Your big $20fo starts very early at 12:00 and your midstakes tourns at euro peak time are all 360caps and big ante stuff which doesn't attract big fields. There isn't really anything decent between the $11 and the $50 price range for big field stuff at this time and i feel a $20 with a 20k guarantee would be easy to reach.

dont know if it was mentioned before...

plz let your "new tourneys" start a bit later.
for example if i play the daily 30k and the daily 80k, the 80k starts when there is still about 2-3min of the break from the 30k left.
so i have basically the choice between having a very short break or missing the first few hands of the 80k.

Would be reeally nice if the Wed 1/4mill had antes sooner. Somewhere around 50/100 would be nice. Also agree with all the timebank stuff.

It will say "Players are on break, tournament will resume within 1 minute". The blinds will be displayed as the starting blind level for the tournament, in this case 10/20. Whilst your table thinks its on break, all other tables are running. When your table starts the blinds go to what they should be.
