Can't see this one. Just an old 20$ with same guaranteed.

Would like to see some more 10$+50$ Omaha Hi-Los spread through 19-24 GMT. Since there's just 2 tournaments now it doesn't justify opening Party Poker (software is simply worst known in online poker nowadays, please make it more stable and give us option to hide those stupid achievements).

lol noticed this as well. So annoying. WTF is the point of the pre flop buttons?
2x and 3x button results in 6x preflop

Well, just revisited the MTT schedule today (after trying the new structure today and hating it), and as expected, there is only 4 tournaments that I will keep in my schedule, meaning cashing out most of my BR from Party.

Party used to be known for great promotions but, as we all know, that was removed in May. Still, as far as MTTs were concerned, Party still had a great structure, making me keep most of my action on here. The 15 min blind levels were great, especially with rebuys involved, making it a deep, skill-friendly grind. You cancelled all of the three 11$ rebuys, the PL08 6$ rebuy and the 33$R in between 2:15-10:00 replacing them with a series of donk-fest turbos, some micro buyins PLO, PL08, limit holdem and Pot-holdem without [B]guarantees![B]. Hell, loving all these forms of poker, I would probably still play a 2$R PL08 even if it was a 500$ Guarantee! But now, no one will. Not for a total prize pool of 12$ (that LHE 22$ freezeout a couple of years back use to back one of my favorites).

Well, I am done with my ranting on this thread (as far as this subject is concerned). But I do have 2 serious questions that I want answered :

- How greedy can you be? Changing the structures, cancelling the rebuys, is all a way to primo have a high variance/luck friendly game and

secondo to ultimately increase the speed of the tournaments, hence the rake.

- Why do you even bother to keep/pay for this thread? You obviously do not listen to any of us, and Party Rep sparsely shows up to promote a new rip off while neglecting to answer our questions/concerns.

End of rant. Goodbye thread.

Congrats Party to MTT suicide. Today disapeared even some tournaments, which I judged yesterday as playable for me. You can not be serious with these changes.

Its all ready for zynga plus. People on there just arent going to play tourneys with 15 min blinds. Cheap, quick, is the name of the game.

Hi,

We are listening. I'll be checking the thread daily this week and collecting feedback. There have been lots of great suggestions already and we'll be making adjustments to the schedule where we can to take these in to account.

Thanks,
Paul

Since you never answer on the nj thread and it somewhat applies here, when do you Plan to implement the payout structure changes? Paying way too many in the Mtt fields and having a 60/40 payout structure on sngs is rediculous.

I actually like the tighter payouts. Any way to reduce mtt variance is welcome but i do think too many are being paid.

Right now the 1k 50$ bi is running. Reg closed at 10 people in the tournament so really nice overlay and 6 of those 10 are paid... Obv this is awesome but 60% of the field being paid is silly. Who set up the payout percentages?! Tell them that they are a bit simple/slow. This is a very basic thing and anyone who can think at least slightly cognitively would know that.

+1 yesterday in an mtt with 200 players 54 got paid? That's like 25% of the field, seems too much and unnecesary. If you'd reduce it to like 15-17%, the payouts could be even more flat and it will increase the first price (which attract fish imho)

Ok a bit less grumpy 3rd final table in a row.

Yeah me to.

Also the overlay is still juicy. I would still like those $2 plo rebuy back but I'll adjust again as usual.

What about returning No Limit Double Holdem Rep ? with some NLDH mtt along with it as was promised in the past ?

Some feedback:

From 14:00-16:00 eastern there used to be a bunch of tournies, from the 6R, 11R, the 165FO 50R, 22R, 54FO, and a couple of others. It seems now this is basically a dead zone in the schedule, comparatively, with far fewer offerings. There are a decent number of regular tournies in the 2-3 hours before that (less than before though), but this time in particular is pretty dead in the schedule for a non turbo player. Please consider adding in a few tournies at the 10R/25FO level that aren't turbos or hypers in that period.

In general I feel like 1 or 2 of the tournies could be convereted back from a turbo to a regular. It seems like too much of the schedule is devoted to hypers and turbos.

I like the payout changes to being more flat, but I think they are a little too flat, 15% is fine but when they go flatter the top prizes all of a sudden don't look very juicy.

Consider adding in some new levels if you are going to switch to 10 minutes, right now the blinds go up too quickly later in the tournament. Or find a good middle ground with 12 minute levels.

The video is about 3 years old, but he says if you can send proof that you're a high VIP level on another site, PartyPoker will automatically boost you to a higher VIP level. Is this true?

If link doesn't work above, use link below and skip to 4:45.

well even if you get to higher VIP level, you will still have same rb-% as you always make partypoints with the same multiplier

only thing that changes is that you can buy bigger bonuses(=bigger rb%) when you have higher VIP level, but you'll need to rake to make the points anyway.

if you already have some points on party, then it might make a difference

That was a month after Black Friday, it was true at that time, Party was helping ex stars and FTP players move over. A VIP amnesty. Not sure if it's true now, I'd bet money on no.

But more importantly Party has gutted its VIP system since then, bonus sizes dropped and you need to rake ~90% of the bonus cost again to even clear it, so why would you want to move over if you have a high VIP status elsewhere?

Edit: oh you're already on Party, the original promo was aimed at new players moving over afaik

i think the new tournies on party are awesome for mid-stakes players.

ok thanks for the answers, seemed like it wouldn't be true. but would like to hear an official answer from the party rep.

$13T magically appeared in my account

Thx I'll use them immediately.

Oh it was my 50 seat frenzy ticket, thought that was $15.
Qualifier freeroll pays 8 places a ticket, and the tickets are worth $20 from now on. (love this freeroll but usually sleep when it's on)
Also client freeze crash while trying to scout the mtt lobby's. But that's no surprise.
