More PKO bounties please! Both NL/PLO.
Also, why is it that the $22 9:30p PLO bounty mtt randomly gets unlisted several times a week?

Good luck
nice effort sir ! the 215 seems better and deeper now. starting to find the way to more poker less hyper party..
the 109 main on sunday, should get an even better structure. since it will be flagship of your room.

some of the daily 55$ , the higher gtd one for ex, should have the new structure too.
if some lower stakes players start asking, we could evaluete for the other levels too..
the sats for the 525 should be improved.

the nightly 11r , runs pretty decent. could u guys try for ex a 3.3r , 33 or 44r same hour ?

during the day, at afternoon for ex, u running the 5$ 109's earlier. so u could add some more rebuys too so ppl can have more volume.

what about some leaderboard? it cold get expensive ok, but u could mae a leaderboard, 3 tiers, and u pay in tickets for your events for ex. that would be an extra income for the players.

once per month u could bring a special 109. for ex, 109 pko , 109 pko turbo edition, 109r with monster stack structure. stuff likfe that.

phase mtt. one for testing. running like daily for ex. 22$ 20k or something. with nice strucutre. and keep adjusting . ppl would add it daily and try to sat etc etc.

ppl keeps asking for more pko mtts. i personaly dont like but i know they are amazing for the pools. some months ago, u ran a promotion for some mtts with ko. 2 or 3 days. all the guarantees were like the triple in the end.. so it means something.

prob a dificult one, but pretty important for regs. stacks in bbs. we grind 5 6 rooms with stacks in bbs. that would be a very nice change too.

for the late night, some hyper mosnter stacks would fit well. up to 55, all the ppl playing the 109's 22's 55's would play them as well.

regarding the rebuys, the addon need to have more value i guess. it shoulld give more bigblinds for the price u pay.

the 109 main ( sunday ) , pays too many ppl. i guess the recs point but at least the one should pay less people. and higher prizes. personal opinion too.

gratz on the series!

tks a lot and keep us updated pls

a 109 NLHE PKO for the Sunday schedule would be nice.

Think a the better structure needs worked in all the way down to the $55s.

Max late reg should be somewhere in the 12-15 bb range.

Thank you for fixing the time bank.
Made my day,
05-09-2020 , 07:11 PM
adding more boost bounty tournaments those were fun maybe with higher buyins too
05-10-2020 , 07:50 AM
Really good stuff keep your ideas and suggestions coming please.

Many thanks

did you just cancelled the 22 & 33$ sunday specials?
05-13-2020 , 03:57 PM
Second to the boost bounty tournament - thought the event on Sunday was great, would be a nice addition to the schedule to have a $11-$33 bounty boost.
05-14-2020 , 03:55 PM
Hey Mike-

Loving the direction Betonline is going as it is slowly becoming one of my favorites sites to play on, with that being said all companies have room for improvement.

You guys needs to to take a closer look at the structures of the higher buyins on the site. The 109s 215s and 530s should not have the same blind structure as the lower BI events. The fact that i can max late reg a 530 with 4bbs is a bit insane,as the tournaments are already shallow and average is around 15bbs by the end of LR. This is bad for the game as it turns into a bingo who was deep pockets fest lol.

thanks

Hey Mike - any chance we're going to see some of the new events last Sunday stick around? Would love to have the Sunday Second Chance ($109) 60K GTD stay as well as some of the bigger midstakes events. Would be nice to have a bigger GTD turbo event between 6-9PM EST too. Thanks!

Hi 97 hearts,

We have changed the structure recently of the tournaments you mentioned, and we had pretty positive feedback.
This was a trial and I believe it has been successful and will hopefully be implemented asap.
I also know that we are looking into changing lots of our structures to make improvements for everybody.

Please keep giving me this feed back

Kind regards

Mike

Hi Aes,

I really hope so, one of the tournaments for Sunday was my idea and we also have a new one for this Sunday.......

I am hoping for something like *This really is your last chance"
Maybe a hyper turbo, format? what do you think?


Many thanks

Mike

Haha I like the name! I personally prefer turbos to hyper turbos but definitely wouldn't mind seeing a hyper added to the schedule. Appreciate the work you and the team have done improving the schedule, feel like it's come a long way since the fall!

One other idea for the next series - have you guys considered giving trophies or some other physical prize to event winners? It seems like a great additional incentive to play these events and is low cost marketing for BetOnline. I imagine any winners would have them proudly on display in their home games and for friends and family to see.

that's a good ideia obv. turbo or hyper seems ok. u will have volume even if u make both.

calculating for ex a period where the players have less tables or deep runs, and adding those would be a nice improvement.

nice to see the 109ko again and the 11$ 2k ko. i guess it could be 5k for ex. ppl really like the ko format.

again, the highroller is good but should offer better satelites experience for that one.

the new sunday rebuys would be amazing also. some 44r before the 55r on sunday or the 109 second chance mixing with 66r second chance weekly . something like that.

the saturday 55r should have like 2h late reg only. makes no sense to start the addon if u lose on last hand and having like 10k chips plsu 20k addon. 30k total, for 2500 blind level. makes zero sense =)

keep up the good work guys.

stacks in BBS PLS !

Scanning over the Saturday MTT schedule....where are the knockout tournaments?!?!


Maybe I'm missing some, but I see ZERO knockout tournaments between 12pm-6:45pm (EST) for less than $100.

I find the $109 10k gtd monster event at 9am PST / Noon EST very confusing.

First off, the lobby says starting stack is 7,500, but then the info tab says starting stack is 10,000. So you just have to guess which it is before registering?

Also, the structure has 10 min levels. The $55 and $22 tourneys that start at the exact same time have 12 minute levels. How is it possible that the 55 and 22s have a better structure than the 109?

Nothing makes sense.

Also, the lobby says late registration goes thru level 18. It just closed after 17.

Hi theczar,

I am not sure what has happened, but thanks for reporting this. I hope its just a visual error that needs to be corrected.

Kind regards

I just started playing on this site, I'm assuming this has come up before and I'm late to the party. But the payouts on this site are a joke. In the 150k today 22% get paid, less than 12% for first and pay jump from 3 to 2 is bigger than jump from 2 to 1 lol

totally agree.
the main event paying like 360 players.. it should pay like 30k at least for first. and pls guys.. weekly main event, the cl last 20 had 35 bbs,
the cl ft had like 30 or less bbs. its really bad.

look at all the tips we gave pls. the site was growing but need improvements.. take our opinion in consideration pls..
why cut the 109 second chance ? dont wantto make it 60k, ok, make it 30k gtd or somethin..

where is the hyper or turbo last last chance»?

tks guys.

215 40k had 44 paid with 4 off the money with a few mins left of late reg and some small overlay. Right before reg closes, 20-30 people jump in and all of a sudden it jumps from 44 paid to 71 paid with 75 left (18% of field to 27%?!). Ofc this unfairly advantages the late reggers/short stacks and hurts people with chips

Agree, this has come up many times, they are kinda yolo about it. (the structures in all majors used to be great) I guess we could try requesting for more rebuy/addon MTTS. Those seem like best value to me. The rest are kind of garbage. The "deep" structures are decent 5k start chips ones.
