Act like an adult.

Omaha Hi/Lo is one of my favorite forms of poker, but c'mon murdahc. PokerStars has your feedback. I even agree with the point you're trying to make, but you're being ridiculous. Chances are pretty high they'll add them. If not, then be happy getting 4+ running on another site at the same time.

(All that being said I'd be very happy if there was a PLO8 or preferably NLO8 MTT besides the $5 Change Up daily, something around 30-60 dollar buy in.)

Feel bad for Dylan that he has to sift through this crap.

We get it, two guys in NJ like Omaha H/L SNGs....

What's the word, Mr. Jones? Or did you forget about us already? I hope you don't consider PokerStarDylan's colleague, who is in control of NJ Sit & Gos, an expert.

well, i love 08 for what it's worth. it's my second best game. i only play mostly lhe cause i'm stronger than almost all although have encountered some impressive players on njps as of late.

Comical response. Only Omaha Heads-up are listed in the sit n go lobby. How the heck didn't you press your colleague for a better response? Or maybe you've never even opened up the PokerStarsNJ lobby ever in your life and The Imp called this bull crap from the start.
Imp got his rewards cut from 80% rb to 30%. Did he expect that gravy train to last?

I don't know why ur so obsessed with 08 sngs. I only play the tourneys which run nightly and cash. Maybe man up and learn cash? I recommend "plo8 revealed" he's a little tight but obvious reasons why 08 is good are pointed out: lower variance and more action leading to easy 10bb/100 wrs

Fair enough. Our posts will get deleted if we don't stay on topic but i'm sure you were getting over 30% rb which is current nj sne.

I've said it a bunch times but you have to make breakeven grinders losers. That's the only way to sustain a poker economy these days and why bovada is the second most popular site worldwide(pokerscout is obv bs)

I play limit holdem on bovada and the only reason i make good money is cause my grinder friends can not possibly win with no rakeback. so they quit.

So the future is 98% rec 2 % pro.

This is confusing to me considering I only see Omaha HEADS-UP sit n gos in the lobby. I never asked for Omaha hi/lo heads up sit n gos, I asked for Omaha hi lo 6 man or 9 man tables. I see you guys added a $100 Omaha hi/lo tourney for Sundays. The $500 GTD Omaha hi/lo tourney seems to do well. Like I said before, 888 o8 sit n gos run regularly. You guys are supposed to be the best in town, but you got somebody who seems incompetent at his job running the sit n go schedule. Is there a email you can provide so I can put in a complaint? I mean, how the heck does the clown running the sng schedule not even know Omaha hi lo sit n gos are much more popular than Omaha sit n gos? Seems like the complaints about the new Pokerstars I see made by the ROW players seem pretty legit. You clowns don't have a god damn clue what you're doing. How the heck does somebody screw up the time zone? How didn't you guys catch onto the sound issues before you rolled out the software? One word; frauds. Now give me an email address so I can put in a complaint.

They probably will add them eventually, this is only week 3. It's not the same on stars though as they do not want any traffic to spins eaten up by sngs. Spins are their biggest marketed game and most profitable for them.

Despite stars being the best, you might actually be the exception player who finds much better action on the other nj sites.

support@pokerstarsnj.com. I passed on your feedback about Omaha H/L being more popular than regular Omaha on other NJ sites.

Yes, Spin & Go popularity has an impact on Sit & Go demand and a lot of promotional/advertising efforts highlight the appeal of Spin & Gos. We're aware there's a segment of players that do not like playing the format, but that segment does not represent all players.

Unfortunately I don't think there's any more constructive dialogue to be had on this subject.

Dylan

The (main) issue with Amaya isn't rakeback. My rb hasn't changed all that much (Gold/Platinum).

Agree with your second point entirely, that's the problem. They say every time that they're going to reinvest slashed rewards/increased rake into promotions and marketing, it never happens. We're into April and promotions have been lacklustre, the only marketing you'll see is for Sports or Spin & Go's (the highest raked game).

Amaya borrowed billions to buy Stars brand, that's where the increased revenue goes. They don't care about poker, the Amaya CEO is on record saying that we aren't poker players, we are "consumers" who will play whatever he wants us to.

I've skipped the WSOP $200 $30K before just because it starts at 4, and I do this for a living. If you make the final table and you work a regular job then take the $2000+ you make and suck up losing some sleep for the next day (or just call out of work).

Point 3: I agree with this one. A couple weeks ago I played the $50 turbo at 10PM and came back a minute late from break. My time bank was now at 0 seconds and no time was ever added back so I had about 10 seconds on every decision while multi tabling, which forced me to pay a ton of attention to the turbo. I was lucky enough to go deep but that also had me notice that you never get more time added to time bank in that turbo. I like that your time bank starts gets started up more quickly in a turbo but gotta put some time bank on that clock as the tourney goes on.

Point 4: Putting 20% of the buy in towards a knockout is really pointless and I've never liked this format. In fact I really am not a fan of KO tourneys unless they're progressive KOs; winning half a buy in or 20% of a buy in late in a tournament when it's completely irrelevant compared to the payouts has always seemed ridiculous to me. Just take all that money and put it in the prize pool. The progressives were such a great invention because late in the tournament the KOs are still relevant compared to what you're playing for and should slightly affect your decisions. Yesterday with 3 left in the $250 progressive I called off a shove in a spot where I was looking at a $500 pay jump and a $760 bounty if I were to win the pot. If it was a standard KO it'd be a $50 or $116 bounty and all I'd be able to think about is how I was playing for less money than I would have had all the money been put into the prize pool.

Point 3: We changed the timebank rule this week for all tournaments to address this issue. For example, the $50 Turbo used to have a 60 second timebank for the entire tournament. Now, you start the tournament with a 30 second timebank but receive an additional 10 seconds every 5 levels and and additional 60 seconds for the final table.

8-game isn't available on any of our Mobile apps. The reason is that there are challenges with offering Draw on mobile. HORSE, on the other hand, is offered on ROW Mobile.

Please don't add them for stakes any higher than this. The 9 handed tables at higher limits are 100% exclusively used for players to aggressively bumhunt. Honestly, even at 1/2 bumhunt ing is the primary use of the 9 handed tables

So let me get this straight...you've been posting on 2p2 for over 4 years, and in that time you've made 60 posts and nearly every one of them is relating to heads up games. Not only that, but you're against koth, and against seemingly any change that benefits recreational players and the economy.

Sooooooo, which blood sucking bumhunting reg are you??

Yourdoom??
04-07-2016 , 01:16 PM
Any update on points from FTP being transferred over? I understand you're going to say "not yet".

But are we talking days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia?
04-07-2016 , 01:22 PM
So the satellite that was added for the 250 KO is a 50 dollar satellite. I feel like it'd be better for 30 or 40 dollars, as it doesn't seem to get enough players to run now.

I hope that's just because not enough people have noticed it yet, but I am also not a fan of 1 in 5 satellites.

Dylan,

WSOP already offers non-us residents that are staying in NJ the ability to play in their website. They don't need to submit a SSN, only their passport copies.

Any ideia if PS is planning to offer the same and when this would happen?

Great investigative work you should be commended. I enjoy playing heads up games didn't say in this forum that I was against koth format. I was against it in the past, but have since changed my stance. Please do not accuse me of being a bumhunter if you do not know who I am. Every poker player who is successful has to use table selection of some sort or they are losing major EV or could go broke. Because you think your some sort of ambassador for the games in NJ doesn't mean we all have to accept your agenda of what you think is good for everyone.

My personal opinion is that I like to play heads up cash nl holdem. I think it is a fun fast moving format that I have had some success in the past. Obviously I can't make them add games they don't want, but I can campaign to see them added without players taking what the company's say as gospel in regards that they are bad for the game. How can you be so sure they are bad for recs without seeing the data. They might not work in a ROW environment but they worked pretty well in past US environments and are good on Bovada.

Alas I like to see some more discussion and look forward to debate my points in the future.
