im asking about the SnG and cash leaderboards or are these only offered to some players???

Hi Poutine, it may be found when you log into poker, click on the my contest and select the weekly leaderboard.



Kind regards

Mike

I only had $30bonus if i rake $300 , last week and this week, which would be 5x less than with the regular sngo lb, as well as being forced to rake 300 or i get nothing, Yet this promotion is touting 5x more money being given out

Mike, its not there...

I'm not showing a sng leaderboard in my challenges either. I thought the ads on 2p2 were stale, but kinda messed up if it still exists but only shows for some

last week my contest was the $7500 rake points leaderboard..
this week there are two:
1)top 20 SLOTS players get a $109 tourney ticket (ive never played slots or casino there)
2) $300 in rake gets me $30

why are some people being offered rake leaderboard and others are not? i checked every day last 2 weeks and ive gotten nothing???

I do not see this happening. You might want to post in the "New Tournament Director" thread. I am in favor of the deep structures being the base mtts (1 hour and 50 minutes) as opposed to everything becoming 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hour late regs.

They still have the temporary mtt schedule atm. 10 bb starting stack with 6 minute levels. Wtf?!?!?

the tournaments w. 50k starting stack which are running right now are pretty nice! would love to see more in that format

Fyi

Mike or Dan, when do you expect the full, regular schedule up and running? Also, will the haunted TOT freeroll be up and running for next Monday? Haven't been able to opt-in yet.

10bbs for 10% rake...

What tournament is this, many of their tournaments do no have 10% rake.

The normal guaranteed ones, that is correct, are less than 10%. $20.50+$1.50 for example.

But these temporary freezouts they're running are all 10%. $20+$2, $10+$1, etc.

Ah, I see, have not played the freeze outs, they start with 10 bbs as well?

Will be back tonight with the guarantees.

50,000 starting chips at 5,000/10,000. So 50 bbs. Levels go up fast too. Level 7 is 30,000/60,000. There's antes from the start too. And the antes are bigger than the normal 10% of the bb like they were in the older structures for the guaranteed ones.

Tbh, this temporary schedule they have is lame. They say they're doing it in case they go down again so that it's easier to sort out refunds and would inconvenience less players. Yet, the email they sent says that the new infrastructure they have in place will prevent these attacks going forward. Which is it then?

I feel they don't want to pay out a lot of overlays on guaranteed MTT's is why they haven't added the normal schedule back.

what is the appeal of the monster starting stacks along with the 1st level being 200/400 or 400/800? its just a ****in headache looking at that mountain of chips. take a few zeroes off and just put together a normally structured tourney for once without a super long late reg period.

stack in bb.. ASAP

I think biggest problem, from what I am reading here(them wanting to remove the normal Freezouts) is the biggest problem. I am not sure about you guys timezone, I already play pretty late hours (up to like 4am central European time) but if normal Freezouts are removed this leaves me with no MTTs to play at all pretty much. So I would suggest to please not remove them. Instead put up a couple MTTs with Guarantees during early US time. It does not have to be a high GDT, just highlight it to attract players. And then please make it more than 50BB Stating Stack, and more than 6 min. levels. not like the Freezouts. Right now it feels like "blah, let's just throw something into the lobby and be happy when it's over".
To add on this, and this is absolutely no offense (please really do not take it like that), but if you put "nonsense" in the lobby please make it at least more frequent. You could put up these micro- and lowstakes Freezouts pretty much every hour or every other hour at the very least. They would be played I am sure. And additionally it would help SNG players like me to get up more than 8 tables once in a while. I would surely play them, if they existed.

Just played a couple MTTs, good job on removing the Freezouts. The structure of the Rebuys and Bounty MTTs is really good - leaves more than enough time and room for "playing", while the tourneys don't take a huge amount of time.
However the schedule should be filled a little more. For example $1-$11 tourneys between 11:30am EST and 3.30pm EST there is not a single tourney starting from what I can see, neither Rebuy, Bounty... etc.
I am sure you could get them to run on a decent field size. Please fill these gaps with some tourneys, put a small guarantee, they will run. The $5.50 and the $11 Bounty starting at 11:30am EST both reached more than double the guarantee.

Cross posting bc it's relevant in here as well.

Thanks, to be honest, this $5 1K GDT didn't even appear in my lobby, because I had "other" turned off in my filter. Looks like a cool tourney, but definitely a bug to take care of.

I still think the schedule could be filled a little more. Looking at early-morning hours EU time I am somewhat jealous. I understand that main traffic at Chico is US players, but me as european player wouldn't say that traffic is bad during EU-friendly times either, so I would appreciate if there wouldn't be such big gaps of no tournaments starting and for a couple more tourneys being put into the schedule for early-evening EU time (which is where almost nothing is going, despite the tourneys that do run just prior get really good traffic considering the guarantee). That being said, even during night-time US/morning-noon EU time there is more running.

Other than this, well done on the schedule and from what I played today, also well done on the structure.

Down to 13 in the $5.50 $1k guaranteed w 80 minutes late registration

Impressions:
- Bubble was much smoother
- Avg stack w 13 left is ~24 bb's with chip lead at ~37.5 bb's.
- Overall I liked this structure. Tournament is almost 4 hours in and almost at final table
- Would love to see more of these at various buy-ins ($3.30, $5.50, $11, $22)
- Made FT. Not sure why this one is 8-handed but not much of a difference. 25 bb avg at FT.
- Liked the inclusion of the 17.5k/35k and 35k/70k levels

Thanks Dan!

Hi guys,

I wanted to make this poll to see clearly what your thoughts are regarding blind times.

I see alot of comments saying you prefer the 10, 12 min clock.
I honestly have no problem making structures with 10 or 12 min blind levels but if you want a good smooth structure and a tournament to be over in 5 hours then the faster clock is the best option. If you want to play tournaments that take 8 hours to finish it doesnt really affect me but I figure for the future more, quicker tournaments with capped entries is a better overall experience.

I also want to ask about the starting stack. To be honest with you I can make all starting stacks any amount and adjust the blinds. In reality the starting stack is just a number.
