Why has the 30r at 3pm BST had it's guarantee lowered again?

it very rarely didn't meet the 6k guarantee and was lowered to 5k and I haven't seen it not make the 5k, today it is 4k

this is one of my favourite tourneys but it isn't really worth playing anymore

ah right ok

by how much?

I must confess that wednesday is the day I play least on due to football commitments, so if it misses every wednesday that'd be why i haven't noticed it at both 6k and 5k

seems a big drop off 5k to 4k, why not try 4.5k?

They seem to have reduced guarantees across a wide range of MTT's i play $5 to $20 and many been reduced i have had to start playing 888 again to fill schedule.

Always had good success on Party but seems be heading only one way and that is down!!

Been waiting on the software update for a long time and just less and less fun to play on Party!

Yep same, now in the process of withdrawing and depositing on ipoker again.

Just need to decide if i'm going to keep some sort of roll on party and play a more selective schedule across both or withdraw it all.

I'm having to play across 4 sites at the moment. I try and keep 8-12 tables up between ipoker, ft, stars and party. I played solely on Party till last month. Thinking about adding 888 and winamax to the schedule. Has anyone played on winamax? Is it worth the extra rake?!

I added 888, Winamax and Pokerstars.fr all are very soft and have several MTT's worth the extra rake, worth adding in one or two.

Will still play on Party as still couple of MTT's i really like but is getting worrying over things happening at Party.

they're going to get the poker room they want. smaller, less grinders, same number of recreational players. It's probably a more sustainable poker ecosystem if they don't believe they can compete with Pokerstars. The environment will be more fun for a lot of casual players, less profitable for a lot of grinders, and the smaller infrastructure with less needy customers will cost less to run behind the scenes.

They'll probably increase margins while decreasing their gross. It's probably a short term losing strategy that they hope will allow them to maintain a more steady income in the long run as other rooms come and go.

I think it's very possibly a smart business decision on their part. Unfortunately for the people that frequent 2p2 it runs directly counter to our best interests. So obviously people posting in these threads aren't going to be happy. But for casual players that found the predatory nature of cash games on party to be offensive this will likely make for a more enjoyable environment. Possibly this could be accomplished in ways that wouldn't have driven away so many of their clients and killed midstakes games, but this method will certainly accomplish their larger goals.

I guess it sucks for us, but I understand their reasoning.

Which skin do you play on?? On Party Poker I can't see it and I had it confirmed by couple of my friends. Heard that it is still avaliable on WPT but I am not sure if thats correct. They don't even bother to inform us if it is a glitch or they get rid of it/plan to get rid of it

I use the normal partypoker client.

Just click on the "Bonuses & Entries" button (DON'T click on the Bonuses Dropdown)

This will show all bonuses and tournament entries available.

Then sort or filter as the regular store items

1k bonus is there for me under bonus and entries but it's not linear and you have to go to the 2nd page to see it. Definitely there tho.

I think they actually checked the accounts of a bunch of regs for their partypoints and noticed a ton of them were about to get 20k, so they conveniently dropped that bonus. Nice timing. Now me and several others have to lose over $1k in rb before we escape from this disgusting place

Actually cant believe they stoop to this level, realize they are collapsing and make sure to scrape every penny they can from the regs before the regs inevitably leave the site in the coming months. This will be remembered, you wont get a penny in rake from me again (after I clear my bonus ) along with anyone else who sees you for what you are, scammers.
