Yes.

p.s.: Using 4k monitor

As far as I am aware the standard buy in for PLO tables is 100bb for everyone.
Recently I have noticed that some players are buying into the games with less bb, often 30 or 50. At most times during the evening there are also one or two people open sitting on high stakes tables with 30bb.
I am using the new client and I could not find a way to buy in with less than 100bb.
So are they abusing a bug or is there a legitimate way to buy in short?
I have no problem with it but I would also like to have the option in case its legit.

They are playing from old software.

Why are some skins not accepting Irish players?

RE the fish party birthday Bonana

A special Fish Party Jackpot will be seeded at €5,000 on July 15th and grow by €1,000 each day it is not won, maxing out at €25,000 on 4th August

If this is not won or claimed what happens?

Besides Swedish players any one else have rakeback missing?
I play on Betsafe baltics and rakeback for July is missing.

i played some hands on the new client for mac (betsson) and like to give some feedback:

- i'd really like to have hotkeys for basic actions like 'fold'. especially because i have to click the button twice if you clicked an action on an other table before.

- like a couple of others mentioned before the 'tile table' option makes my tables really really small. im using an ultrawide screen.

- i find it really confusing that my folded cards stay visible on the table. not only when multitabling but also when new cards are dealt and you didnt pay attention for a second. even though they are opaque, i think the opacity is way too low to distinguish from cards you are still holding. id like to have an option to fully muck the cards i folded. a mouseover would show them if needed.

- id like to have a four color deck in the replayer too. also id like to be able to change the theme to the simple one for the replayer.

- the cash game lobby build is a little strange. if you click see tables you see a numbered list of tables (often times mostly empty ones with more tables then players?) but you cant see how many players sit on each table. so you have to click on each table to see if there are players sitting, but you can only observe one table at a time so you have to go see tables, scroll, observe, close, see tables scroll, oberve and so on. i get it, you dont want people to bumhunt but this doesnt seem like the right way.

I'm guessing you are using the classic client? If so this is unfortunately a limitation of the way that client was developed - it was never designed for today's monitor sizes. In the new client, there is no maximum size for the table, it scales to any monitor size.

In general yes. Each poker room has it's own set of offers and promotions in addition to those offered by the network. Many of the poker rooms offer reload bonuses from time to time, although not in all markets (for example in Sweden, reload bonuses are not allowed).

This is in the new client? If so, the tile tables function is not working properly at the moment. We have a fix coming, I hope in v42.

For the time being, if you arrange the tables the way you like them, the client will automatically remember that layout for the future.

This is not a Microgaming decision, so unfortunately we don't have an answer. The poker rooms are independent businesses to whom we provide software and services, and for the most part they choose which countries they accept (there are a few exceptions, like Sweden and Switzerland, where we are required to block gameplay and do, but Ireland is not one of them).

Thanks for your feedback, it is noted and appreciated. On your last point - we didn't want to have any observation functionality in our cash games at all. Unfortunately, the Sweden regulated market requires that all cash games be observable and hence we implemented this minimal functionality to meet the requirements.

@MPN Alex

What is the exact name of the note and hand history file? Thank you.

There are none. Notes are stored server-side so you can't take them with you when moving sites and you can get handhistories only by e-mailing support.

so, any updates on this? this was posted by you 5 weeks ago and yet again we are just sitting here, waiting for info. One would think that fixing the software so that it's actually enjoyable instead of a burden for tournament players would be one of the highest priorities, but we're closing in on the 12 months mark very quickly now

Getting error message when opening Bettson:

"Unable to upgrade file...Retrying...

Upgrading file opperatorres.dll.qmup..."

I'm using the old client, this a forced upgrade that isn't working on the old client? Definitely not interested in using the new client.

Does this mean that a HUD will be available but with delayed data?

No Huds just Handhistories

SNG Changes as of 31st July 2019

After receiving a PM from a user on 2+2 regarding 6 handed SNGs, we decided to do a review of our SNG offerings on the MPN. Due to the outcome of this review, some changes have be made, which will hopefully increase the frequency of SNGs starting. The changes that we made will be monitored, and so may be modified at a later date.

We noticed that some players will be registered for certain SNGs for upwards of 1 hour, without them starting. This is not beneficial for anyone and simply puts players off of SNGs, which hurts them further.

Unsurprisingly, our Fish Party Progressive Jackpot SNGs are by far the most popular format of SNGs on the site, accounting for ~60% of the volume on any given day. For those who are unaware, Fish Party SNGs are the MPN’s version of the popular 3 handed jackpot SNGs. We have 5 different buy-in levels (€1, €5, €10, €20 & €50) and they are progressive, meaning that the jackpot amounts will increase until they are won. Should you get into a jackpot SNG, 1st place pays 50%, 2nd pays 30% and 3rd pay 20%. Currently you can play for your share of over €19,000 in a €1 Fish Party SNG and our €50 Fish Party SNGs have a massive €425,000 up for grabs (over €210,000 if you win!!!).

30% of all SNGs that are played on the MPN are €1 Fish Party SNGs. The next biggest subset of SNGs are Super Turbo Heads-Up, which account for ~27% of SNGs played. 6 handed SNGs account for well less than 10% of non-Fish Party SNGs, so this area was of most interest to look at, since they take up a good % of the SNG lobby real-estate. All formats and buy-in amounts were reviewed, and the following decisions were made:

Super Turbo Bounty 6 handed SNGS rarely kick off, so they are out.

Regular speed SNGs act in a similar way, so all are scrapped, apart from the €0.22 & €5.50 level, which we will trial as 4 handed.

Double Ups, Super Turbos & Turbo formats will be consolidated to their most popular buy-ins:

Double Ups: €0.12, €1.15 & €5.75 will remain - the rest will be removed
Super Turbos: €0.11 & €5.50s will remain - the rest will be removed
Turbos: €0.11 / €5.50 / €11 will remain - the rest will be removed

Should 4 handed prove to be popular we can look at moving a couple of other buy-ins to that too, maybe with the Super Turbo or Turbo formats also.

We are also removing the 5 Minute & 10 Minute Heads-Up SNGs.

The Phoenix SNGs are 12 man flips with a buy-in of just €0.01. 1st pays an €0.11 ticket and 2nd place gets their money back. Over 150 of these a day run, and so will be kept. We have actually added in both a €0.10 buy-in and a €1 buy-in of this format too.

While these changes will most likely not suit every SNG player, we feel that removing some options & formats will streamline players into more popular SNGs, which should allow them to kick off faster, and in turn become even more popular.

Any questions or comments, please let me know here or by PM!

Maybe your SNGs don't start because you charge triple the rake.

This is true in the new client but not the classic client. In the classic client you can find a notes file and hand history files stored in a subfolder of C:\Microgaming.

I will have more details to share soon, but the plan is indeed to do two smaller releases:

v42 is planned for late August and will include a new tournament info panel, improvements to tournament filtering, improvements to the speed of the tournament lobby load, and various other performance improvements. The new info panel will massively improve the tournament experience in the modern client.

v43 is planned for late September or early October and will include the full external Tournament Lobby.

We intentionally charge high rake in Double Up SNGs. More details here: https://mpn.poker/upcoming-changes-to-sngs-on-the-mpn/

Rake in other SNG types is much more competitive, especially if you factor in the rewards available on MPN.

A forced upgrade currently only occurs if you're in Sweden, or if you're a Mac user. Were you able to resolve this issue? If not, please would you send me your log files as detailed in the OP?

Can't blame you in being dishonest at least. "We don't like like the sng-s these people enjoy playing, so we will make them unbeatable and rake everyone to death. Enjoy getting phased out guys!"

Anyway I don't know what you consider competitive, but every turbo and hyper Hu i looked at, mpn charges at least 1.4-2x the rake party does (rewards aren't really a factor as they have 25-40% straight rb too and that's why I chose the example). For example a hyper at party 98.28+1.72 and mpn 106+4.

I don't really believe you have even considered looking at how competitive your rake really is considering you've been charging more for a 215€ tournament than a 320€ one for god knows how long (I know I posted about the ridiculous 215 one some half a year ago).



The consolidation thing won't work because this isn't a free facebook app where you can herd people like sheep to what you want to. It's a real money site with verified grown-up people, who are probably capable of understanding what sngs are the most likely to start and looking/registering to all of those and don't need options taken away.

But what 5€ reg would ever choose this site, if he has no way of ever moving up because the stakes don't exist. Is a guy who's been playing 1€ tourneys supposed to play 10cents or 5€s now? A guy who plays 20s and 10s and adds in 5s when action is slow, is definitely gone now.

What you really need is for 2-3-4 regs to sit at those games all the time, giving recreational players the hope it will start up without waiting too long. Best way to do that on a site where this particular type of game is dying is to have not somewhat competitive, but very good rake conditions. Look at your micro cash games, where rake is the best in the world probably and you have way more games running than a site your size normally would. I counted the same number of nl10 tables running right now on party and mpn and they are nearly 4 times bigger according to pokerscout.

wait, not even a $22 Turbo 6 man? Jesus, I get STT needed a overhaul and most of the games didn't run at all. But $11 highest 6 man is hella weak. Pls reconsider keeping $22 buy in. It's a lot more likely to get some action now that all the other clutter is gone. Even if the $11 does run, there's zero hope/motivation to move up in stake since it's impossible. It's nobody's goal to play $11 forever, just saying.

Think is a bad move

Gotta have some 22-33 games in there surely. Could we not have some 8 man sngs that used to work years ago 5-11-22-33. Cant remember the name of them but they used to run a fair amount 2K stack 5 mins -

Run a promotion around SNG - also could work

Term

8 man is probably not gonna happen, it would take too long to fill up. I agree STT lobby was overcrowded with games nobody plays, but you removed too much. I don't see the harm of keeping $22-33 6 man in there. I think most players would agree. I for one won't be playing any STT on MPN if there is zero chance to move above $11

The 22+ euro sngs has been pretty much dead for several months, maybe since the beginning of the year?


First of all, a lot of recs dont enjoy mtts as much as they enjoy sngs because of the amount of time it takes to finnish a tournament if they go deep. Also it does not help when the mtt field is 75% grinders who waits until the last second to make a decision. Yes i understand they are probably multitabling but im sure its frustrating for the recs.

Sng offer high-paced action and dosent last long. Perfect for recs. Why not invest resources in making the sng pool larger with bigger prizes? like a 5 wins in a row jackpot or something?

Im sure you can find ways for us swedish players to get a part of some extra money as well.

Alex, Turkish players who plays from Bets10 Turkey can't login to new software or old software since Monday.Right now we can only play from browser.

Bets10 Turkey support said we'r working with Microgaming to solve a problem but we still can't login to both software.Could you look at that problem?

Thanks for this - Bets10 had changed some configuration which caused the problem. The issue should now be resolved.
