I am talking about the Heads Up Superturbos.

First of all a different blind structure and a different stack size to begin with. A 10/20 blind level and 500 starting chips. Exactly like PokerStars has now(Full Tilt had the same). On 888 you start off with 300 chips on 15/30 - that's basically 10 big blinds and there's absolutely no room to maneuvre;only all in play.

Secondly the rake is too high for these games. I mean even if I'd beat the player pool - which is tough because edges are thin, I still wouldn't be able to make profits and beat the rake. Anybody slightly aware of the Nash/Chubukov/Sage charts can beat the game but in the long run they will have 0% ROI at best. The rake should be cut to almost 50% in order to make this game profitable. I'm sure this way there will be plenty of action.

And once there will be action I will come back asking for more superturbo lobbies

strange thing happened when i edited my favorites



now i can't even delete this empty view...

Just a curious fact, I know it might sound ******ed. Why do russian players never answer in chat and why do they always take ~3 secs for every decision?

Who cares, they suck hard .

This pic says 300

HU was 500 and not 300??

By superturbos I refer to the heads up sng games(not the 9-seater) since Pacific network does not have 9-man SNGs with superturbo structure. If you check the sng lobbies you'll see new heads up games written in bold font. those are the superturbos

It's true that FT initially had 300 chips but players made a campaign that changed the structure from 300 starting chips to 500. That's what I'm trying to suggest here as well, I'm sure it will be profitable for everybody. There will still be enough all in action and short games for the recreational players, enough edge and room to maneuvre for regular grinders and plenty of rake to generate for the card room. The way superturbos are now on Pacific completely eliminate the skill from the game.

you gotta edit your player note in the documents folders. delete most of it. make sure not to delete your notes tho.
Documents> 888poker>UsernameFolder>playersNotes in win7. not sure about other operating system

thanks, that helped. much appreciated!

While I understans what youre saying, these games are very popular at the moment, and I can understand why they dont want to fix something that is not broken. The turbo games are a good altenative though if you are looking for more of a skill game.

How much MGR do you need to rake to get silver level?

Silver: 500 Status Points which are 250$ if I remember right

Do 888 think only males play on their software??

"Player X has activated his timebank."

Dear 888rep

I would like 888 to introduce a feature similar to the Pocket Cards Manager on the Microgaming network; where each position is categorised (UTG, EP, MP, HJ, CO, BTN, SB, BB), and each position presents a grid of all possible hole cards in which you can choose which ones are to be automactially folded. I strongly think that this would greatly benefit mutli-tablers as they don't have to keep manually folding or accidently timing out and can concentrate more on hands they want to play.

^ No thanks. Right now is the perfect balance between recreational players and grinders. Introducing anything too extreme will ruin what they have.

Dear 888,

Beside some new freerolls, what's the difference between bronze status and the new ones, inferior to bronze?

I think this is because most of them do not know English.

Why do you say that?

-1

why don't you increase the rake to 1+0.4 for Sngs and get Ipokers Bots to run on 888 as well?

Maybe you could give awaysome superuser-accounts as first prize in a bronze freeroll?

Well at least I expect some of them to curse. In whichever language they want...like ukrainans for instance. I was just paranoid that I was always playing bots. Also they all take ~2-3 secs before every standard decision.

pls insert a captcha that you have to enter once in a while to prevent botting



and make it changeable that you only display your BigBlinds instead of your money and chips in cashgames and tournaments

Is there a bonus code each month for redepositing,its been awhile since I've played on 888.

Looks to me like they're changing the loyalty scheme a bit by dividing what used to be bronze (which was a huge range, from 10 to 500 FPPs per month). Seems like bronze will be moved up to 100 FPPs/ month, with copper at 50 FPPs, chrome at 25 FPPs, and iron at 10 FPPs. They've introduced all of the new freerolls already, and I guess that they'll let everyone keep bronze until the end of this month, and then move people to the new (mainly lower) levels. Probably aiming to provide more of an incentive to play more for all of the micro stakes players, lots of whom realistically were always going to hit 10FPPs, but never have a chance of going above 100FPPs or so.

Hi...just wondering what it means when a player has a 888 logo instead of a country flag next to their name?

It means that he didn't specify the country from where he is.
