would you explain a little more regarding the stealing part?

P


My mistake revot, I actually meant to quote Jamesons "so much fail/give more stuff away post"

I do agree giving away fewer/larger prizes in freerolls would help. I think wsop got it right on this one.

This was posted in the wrong thread, it should be the ROW one.
It was a disconnection compensation issue FYI guys.

I was playing the $1500 and got geo-located out. It was about 10:30pm est and the 2k highroller was starting in 5 minutes.

I attempted to unregister for the 2K while I rebooted just to be safe and the system wouldn't allow me because they couldn't verify I was in NJ. That's all kind of messed up!

If you guys geo-locate me, you have to unreg me too. Otherwise I'm taking a risk preregistering for any tournament on ur site? That's the lesson I've learned tonight.

I get that you don't want to players not re-registering when they get back in, but being that you don't refund players for geo-location problems that is borderline criminal. Do the right thing guys.

guess today is the last night they are running the 1k fall festival freerolls. wonder what's next..

Three 10k freerolls next weekend.

888Rep,

You guys were having 14 1k freerolls a week. After next weekend I'd much rather have 1 10k freeroll a week. You could save $4k a week and raise the amount you have to play each week to earn a ticket. I think you'd get more interest in freerolls, save money and make more rake.

Thanks for your feedback.

What? No. Are you kidding? You just want them to give us $4k less in rakeback? What are you thinking?

Lol can u believe this guy??

What I'm thinking is this...

A) The 1k freerolls are nice, but you have to make the final table to get more than a couple of dollars. A 10k would have better payouts.

B) I'm not playing both freerolls 5+ nights a week and I assume most others aren't either. If you are playing less than 10 of them a week then it's +EV for you to have one $10k tournament than be entered in 9 or less $1k tournaments.

Hopefully a level...(good one if so)....but we are in NJ...

1) I did play most of them every week.

2) They're so incredibly soft that two tourneys per night gives any decent player a really good chance of at least 1 deep run every couple of days.

3) Less tournaments = longer spells without cashing

4) You're legitimately telling them to take money AWAY from the players that they are willing to give to us.

1. You're probably in the minority, and I did say you'd have to play both 6 nights a week to make my idea a bad one for you.

2. That is true (even a donk like me won one of them) , but I don't think it will change that much.

3. As stated before, over the long run, it's better for you if you're currently playing 9 or less, not as good if you're playing 11 or more.

4. Again, that depends on when and how often you play.

I can't convince you that it's a good deal if you're playing them 6 nights a week, because it simply isn't, but if you play less than that it is.

Another reason that two per night is a better idea because of availability and conflicting schedules. I like the fact that if I miss the 7pm on a night, I can still catch the 9pm. If it was 1 10k tourney a week, there is SOOO much of a higher chance of any person missing it for one reason or another and you just lose the opportunity at free money for that week, which sucks when compared to the format that 888 currently gives us.

man those nightly 10k freerolls were the best.
the daily 5k a few months back were cool too. i think i remember them running like 2 2k + 2 1k + 2 .5k a night a while back too.

not too bad 888.

*just hope i get my new 10k tickets. during the last week of the most recent 1ks the tiks stopped coming for some reason.


//////////
888 improvements i would like:

i wish 888 would start raising Guarantees on MTTs. for example the nightly 400$G 5$ seems to always hit 600$+. so make it a 700-800$ G for month or so and see what happens. and same for a lot of other mtts(30$ 1kG, 25$ 1kG, 10$6max 500$G to name some).
baby steps. 30-50% increase on the G on Mtts that often go 10+++% over G. and advertise it/email blast that you are doing so.

that and i hate the jump in levels from 25/50 and 50/100 but i prefer slower structures. and perhaps im in the minority.

I'd like to see 888 add a knockout tournament at night to replace the canceled WSOP knightly knockout tourney.

Something like an $8+8 at 8pm (nice ring to it!).

those 1k freerolls were lame, i agree w/ FromACtoLV's suggestion.

Agreed. 888's smaller MTT structures are essentially terrible. Especially when compared to WSOP.com.

These freerolls were worth $2 or $3 each, right? (4-500 players I think)

They took place during the busiest time in the nightly mtt schedule across the sites, and offer such little value they would actually be negative ev for many regs to even bother with.

It's true micro stakes is important to maintain a healthy ecosystem, but $10k+ a week would be better spent attracting all the regs who are only playing on wsop and/or party-borgata and keeping the players who play a full schedule happy.




IMO, WSOP structures are by far the worst in NJ, especially the rebuys. You start wayyyy too deep then go into super turbo once in the money.

I don't see any issue with 888 structures though.

Yes yes yes... 1000 times yes!

Hi guys,

Your thoughts and suggestions have been relayed to the team for consideration.

Thanks

Yawn? 21:05 Start time for the Friday $10K? Not showing any late registration? Estimated runners? 3,000 maximum? 6 minute Turbo? What time do we expect it to end on Saturday morning?

Why not start earlier, say 19:05 with 10 minute levels to give the players a little more play, or a few more starting chips? How about a compromise, like the $750 GTD Turbo Deep with 6 minute levels with 5,000 starting chips?

Will the other two also start this late? Consider the time zone.

Poker Night in January at the Golden Nugget in AC? Thought 888 was in partnership with Caesars? Does this mean 888 is changing allegiance or no control where Poker Night goes?

Two questions. If you deposit via credit card are you still allowed to withdraw cash at a casino cage? Secondly can anyone comment on 100nl 6 Max games? Ratio of regs/fish would be great.

Im in Delaware and wondering if there are any bonus or rakeback deals on the DE poker client.

In the Golden Nugget AC thread someone posted that they are hosting "Poker Night In America" with satellites on 888.

This seems odd to me with 888 working under the Caesars license. Is there a change coming that you'll be affiliated with GN instead of Caesars? If so, will there be any noticeable changes for players?
