Just sat down at an Omaha table and gonna play the first freeroll just to test out the new stuff.

Didnt even know new stuff was going to be added. So far, the software upgrade seems worth. I notice still only holdem tourny's but whatever. Biggest thing for me is fixing the disconnect issues and bitcoin transfers.

Edit: Hell yeah no more BJ tables!!!!!

Can anyone confirm what was BOL biggest tourneys prior to this?

Any word of whether the 50k will be a regular thing?

The 50k is usually reserved for the last Sunday of the month. If the new software garners more interest in the site, maybe it will be a permanent Sunday fixture.

Does it usually cover the GTD? How's the structure? When does it usually begin/ end

Sorry can't help there. I only recently started playing the MTTs. The 20k last Sunday barely covered the guarantee after rebuys and addons (rebuys until break 1 and then an addon period). After about 4 hours of play we were nearly at the final table.

What's the buyin for the 20k? What time does it starT? Not home can't check.

Excited to try playing online again w a decent playing site. Hopefully it grows and can reach a 50-100k Sunday.

There's a $33 buyin 15k at 4PM EST and a $44 buyin 20k at 7PM EST on Sundays.

Blinds move super fast. 10 min. levels and you only start with 2k chips at 10/20.

The 50k on 7/31 is a $99 buyin and looks like it has the same quick structure.

It's possible, but I think a lot of the players are like me, cash players who are only in these MTTs to use up their VIP points so they don't mind if they are over in 5 hours. Maybe if the structures were better they'd attract more serious MTT players.

Seems like I've been credited part of my bonus according to POP points I had. Anyone else?

Is there a Rep from BetOnline here that we can talk about fixing the tournament structures? I for one, only play tournaments, and will only be depositing if they can fix the structures. The late structures are just horrid.

If it actually showed their location on the old software, then there was a 0% chance they were a casual player. You could reliably group them into either a LAG, nit, or regfish category. Probably more likely they were a bot too I suppose.
