But how about an increase on the regular rebuy guarantees?? Your nightly $10r is something like 15k, but a midday 10r RUSH gets 60k?? Not everyone wants to play rush all the time. Stars 11r is like 60k or 70k, and their 3r is like 50k or something, whereas yours is like 10k or something similar. The point is, it's much less, and I would much rather put in time in the Stars rebuys as of now. It's obvious you can make these guarantees bigger. Why not??

Why is it so incredibly difficult to understand for americans that there is a world outside the US?

Why is it so incredibly difficult for non-americans to understand there isn't?

I agree they'll probably never drop the MGR hit, but instant bonuses would be a big step in the right direction.

That's called acting. Anybody who believes that wasn't scripted is dumber than the chick in the video.

That is fine.

Just make them a better value then.

Also, mittman said this earlier ITT, but the Blackcard store pricing for electronics is like a 20-30% markup from what you can buy irl.

even the new electronics they added... included the table they just added. 30% markup and a bigger rb hit... doesn't make sense

And you have no idea what "most" people would do.

But I fail to see your point in any case.

there should be a button @ Last Hand to automatically copy a Rush hand history.
at regular tables (when using HM) you can see the last 3 hands and copy them from there. this option doesn't excist at Rush tables. so when i want to copy/paste a Rush hand history i have to click Last Hand, click on "[HH #]", select the text, copy it and paste it into Notepad. this is pretty hard when multitabling.

also, i think there should be a tournament filter for Black Card freerolls. it's very hard to find them without a filter. as a result of this, i missed every Black Card freeroll so far.

You cant have one rule for Tourney tickets then one for cash bonuses. If Tourney players had to clear the ticket imagine the outcry

And lets be honest PS has offered instant cash bonus for some time

I do agree with the current structure CB should never expire if purchased with FTP's

Is MGR hit is calulcate @ $0.005 per point spent in the FTP Store. Therefor a $26 tourney is 5800 points or a mgr hit of $29 which has been requested to be changed for ages that its not fair to hit your MGR for more than the product is worth.

However are you sure its $320 for 10 it doesnt compute I recently purchase 10 and was charged $290 I would take this up with your rakeback provider

Your point that it is now capped is correct.

wat? If I'm playing in a game w/ some mega fish and others for hours, I (and the others at the table) should have the option to change seats based on a seat change list, if I chose to before some dude who hasn't invested any time in the table can get the best seat at the table. Have you never played live before?

Let's hope they haven't updated them yet.

-1000 to this. playing 16 (or 8) days a month and buying 4 days should not make you ironman. it's ****ing absurd.

Yes base points. They changed the way they calculate them since the "big change". You earn base points 1.66666666666666 times faster now at 6 max.
3000(new points)/1.666=1800 old points

This is why clearing a bonus is now 4¢/point compared to the 6¢/point it used to be. And FR is, well......

What happened to the Iron Man bonus metals when they abolished the system in October. Were they added to your other metals. Were they disregarded completely? Something else?
