But wait!! I'll just check the hand history... wait... what? No hand history in tournaments!?

Great, I saw one card, know if I won or lost the hand (cuz i can see dem chips), and can see the strength of his had (i.e. pair, straight) as it states under his name. Fun.



I'ts kind of important to be able to see the tabled cards. Can we make them always visible/make the resize buttons transparent or move them?

Can we please have chat/dealer viewable at 4 or 6 or 12 tiled tables? Please.

Hand histories at least in-game for tournaments? Please.

thanks
+1, 6 tabling can't see hole cards at showdown in upper left.

I am on a 17 inch laptop running my display at 1600 X 900 in landscape mode and I have no problem 12 tabling and seeing all cards, chat and everything else. (But in all fairness I am wearing reading glasses at 1.5 magnification)
02-25-2018 , 12:49 PM
yeah, same here. just tile it correctly and you're good
02-25-2018 , 03:17 PM
Wait, what? Once mine goes above 6 tables in tile mode it gets far too small, and basically impossible. What do you mean by “tile it correctly..?”
02-25-2018 , 03:57 PM
Really need downloadable hand histories. I don't care if my opponents names are randomized.
02-25-2018 , 08:16 PM
Can you guys please give us some 10k stack tourneys??? I do not even know why I have to ask for them, they should be there
02-26-2018 , 03:52 PM
am i correctly reading the schedule / tournament descriptions properly to assume there are no synchronized breaks for guaranteed events?

do events that start on the hour (eg 12:00) always start breaks at :55 ?


really hoping i'm wrong but seems like they run like bovada/ignition and each event has it's own specific timer?
02-26-2018 , 06:06 PM
If satellites could end once the target number of places reach tickets...

example: prize pool = places 1-5 get tournament ticket.

Once there are 5 players left, just immediately end the tournament to avoid confusion. A lot of players have been asking questions in those spots.

unless they snych'd em recently which I've not seen or heard about then you are correct, that's the way they have always been.

Even if they had the same start time of on the hr and started breaks 55 mins into the game and every hr after that for the bigger games they'd still stagger somewhat because break cant start until all tables finish action so it always adds a minute or 3 each break, I think. I've not played many on here so i dont really know, I should just stop typing.

this may have been reported before but I dont think so, but similar to a previous reported programming error.

I was playing stts tonite, and in a 9man 4 players left, Im 3rd in chips with ~4bbs and to my left is a player with less than one and the overwhelming CL to his left. So the utg fella and I fold, shorty calls off for/completes less than 1bb preflop and the cl in the bb somehow is able to fold and the pot goes to sb who had less than 1bb to start the hand. This happened 3x n a row. I did manage to mincash and would have goten 2nd but my kk<Ax.

that's a software error that needs to be fixed.

edit - the guy who was 2nd n chips who complained in chat before i did wound up getting 4th, he called off from the btn the CL's utg shove with AJ (giant icm mistake) and wound up losing. Im sure that "rec" player was more unhappy than I was that the bb was allowed to fold pre those 3x when the sb had less than 1bb.

Thanks, this is something that is definitely on the list to amend.

Are 10k stack tourneys on yalls list?

The other night I was playing a pot where there was a bet on the river, I hit call, but the villains cards mucked and the pot went to him. When I pulled up the hand replay, it said I folded but I swear I hit call. I contacted support but they just said I must have folded.

Last night I was playing with someone who had the same issue. He had the nuts on the river in a giant pot, hit call and yet it folded on him. He was pretty upset (naturally). Not sure if you should even be able to fold the nuts...

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else, if it's a glitch in the software or with the browser, but thought I'd mention it here.

The Sunday Scrimage $40k GTD has 10k starting stacks. I don't think it is the norm, and I don't know that it will become the norm, but it is offered.

Yikes, yeah that is no good for sure. I haven't bumped into it myself, but for sure will keep an eye out.

Is it possible you timed out before you hit call? I have had a couple of close spots where I was debating the call and then it folded me because I wasn't paying attention to my time.

Other than that I don't know if it would be worth it to you to record the sessions. It would be difficult for support to see the video of what happened and then be able to say "Nope, you folded" when clearly you didn't. Again, not sure it is worth that hassle.
03-01-2018 , 05:29 PM
No, definitely not timed out. Both mine and the other dudes were pretty much insta calls. I only play max two tables also.

Yeah, I guess screen capture is a good idea. It's only happened the once though out of about 2 or 3 k hands there so who knows. Just thought I'd put it here in case anyone else had the same thing happen.

No argument here. I would be fine with seeing some deeper tournaments. But I also can see why they prefer the shorter "shove fests" as you call them. I live on the East Coast, and playing until 4am is not an option for me. As it won't be for many other players, especially the recs you want to have in the games you play.

So do I increase my variance because of these short stacks? Yep. But skill still wins out in the end, and I am okay with that too.

Heads up sit and gos would be great.

give us the option to turn off the annoying "would you like to keep playing" hourly prompt on ring games
03-04-2018 , 08:36 AM
It is frustrating when you want to sit down and play and can only start out with one MTT.

Add some 27 to 45 man SNG's please. I think in the $3.30 to $11.00 range would fill up and give players additional options

Some legal requirement that they need to show that

Thanks matt hirschhorn,

Just to clarify the start stack or a tournament doesn't really dictate the structure of the tournament. EG we could make a 10k start stack tournament and start with blinds of 1,000/2,000 which wouldn't really be what you are after.

Presuming you are looking at deep tournaments then yes it is something we are looking at.

We constantly review our tournament structures to find things that our players are interested in.

Your comments have been noted and will be included in further considerations around tournament structures.

Thanks

In the interest of transparency, it is unlikely these will be provided anytime soon.

Thanks
