Hi,

Our Poker Room management team do consider all feedback on the schedule. To clarify, the main issue is not enough standard highstakes MTTs?

Thanks,
Paul

@FreshPrince :Have had the same problem.Please try again if it still does not work remove the software from your computer and download it again,but give the new software a new directory on your computer by giving it for example a number after the example from partypoker shows up. A simple number gives the software a new directory and it should work again. Only thing is that you lose all your notes...


@Party_Rep : More $20 , $30 and $50 regular tournaments please.With 15 min levels. Miss them...

Yes, mid and highstakes MTTs with 15 min blind levels (or even 10-12 would do) that have a guarantee (so they are actually running). I play on Asian time (12h difference with American Eastern Time), and the MTT schedule is simply uninviting (I use to play 20 MTTs/day on Party which I had to cut down to 1 in January). Some low-mid level Hi/Lo Omaha tournaments would be interesting as well, like 20$ FO or 5$ Rebuys.

Hi

Could you make it possible so that you can play more than 4 tables of Fast Forward?, so 4 tables @ 10nl, 4 tables @ 25 etc like FTP/Stars does.

Thanks

Table 'Asau' at 200nl HU is broken and no one can join it. It's been like it now for almost a week. Do you plan on ever fixing it?

This is not about party poker, but WPT poker.

My account is locked for 8 days after they closed it because of inappropriate nickname. I should've send 3 new nicknames, what I did and since then there 's no answer on multiple mails.

What to do?

Thanks

this is in reference to tournaments 100+,30rebuy and higher
-get rid of the turbo/hyper turbos - I dont mind a turbo here and there but you have 3 or 4 turbo/hypers a day that I dont care to play
-add more MTTs on Sundays - Party use to have 3-4 more HSMTTs on Sundays and now their schedule lacks.....alot of players might not even play on Party if theres only 1 or 2 mtts they wish to play that day
-the payout structures are terrible - I noticed yesterday the daily 10k 109 was paying around top 10% while the 50r was paying over 20% - its as if someone slapped random pay structures to these tournaments without any consideration.....make the high stake games your standard pay structure(15% paid) and keep the 20%+ payouts to lower games....the casual players aren't playing 50 rebuys and 200 dollar tournaments so keep the flat payouts to lower stakes - a bigger first place prize will also attract more players

Pretty much this
With 15 minute levels (with $200 plus/high rollers with 20 minute levels)

What's terribly important, and can't be stressed enough, is that you need STABLE software and servers.
All the promos and tournaments in the world are useless if the gaming site lacks in stability.
You have lost so many players to constant software glitches and server crashes.

People like to be confident that the tournament they plan to buy into will actually run start to finish !

There are plenty of other 'broken' heads up tables too... it's pretty frustrating...

Hangzhou, Machu Picchu and Chengdu at NL50 have been in a similar state for days too. There could well be other tables at other limits. This has happened previously, but not for this length of time.

Please can you ensure the Poker Team are aware and sort this quickly? I think it's likely to be something quick and easy to resolve.

This is being investigated as we speak. I'll let you know once it's been resolved.

Hi again,

There will be some maintenance being conducted on the network that will result in intermittent issues across our cash games for a period of 30-45 minutes. This will take place in approximately the next ten minutes (09:20 ET / 15:20 CET).

Apologies for any inconvenience. I'll advise when normal service has resumed.

Thanks,
Paul

Does BWIN have private tables? I usually play on WTP, but yesterday i decided to login on my old bwin account and saw that they had 2-3 more nl400 tables running. And I couldnt find them from the WTP lobby.. How does that work?

the 100$ 10k hasnt payed out 10% anyday in the past few months, so not sure when you saw that but i play it every single day and it always pays 13-27 players, typically its 18.

the 'standard' pay structure of 15% isnt necessarily a good thing, just because it was adopted by 1 major site and others followed suit. back in the day ftp and stars payed 10%, then stars switched to 15%, everyone moaned about it for a while, and now somehow 15% is considered 'standard'. there are positives and negatives to the 20% structure. not going to list them all here but if you think about why it helps the hs regs and recs a like, some of the benefits are more long term.

i do agree with you on the hyper turbo/turbo thing as there is way too many at the higher buyins, its kind of like party just saying 'lets see how quick we can rake you down'

Today party have decimated their satellite schedule for the $200k.

They have cancelled the 340 430 645 810 920 1035 1145 1255 1445 1620, plus the ones they cancelled previously, that is another 80+ seats per week cancelled, and added a few TURBO games in the evening. This follows a number of cancellations in January, both tournaments and satellites, when Party went turbo.

Anyone want to bet on the $100k Sunday becoming the norm before this time next year?

So daytime in Europe is now close to dead for any game with a guarantee (unless you want to play 10 cent $25 grt tourneys - plenty of those )

Whoever encouraged these people to use turbo structure in more games needs shooting. Party look to have tipped over onto a very slippery slope.



The snake is swallowing its own tail.

Agreed, I dont play MTTs that much, but I know many players who are satisfied with this. And I personally like the turbo MTTs, so I like the current state. Only the schedule could be better, but thats different topic.

Party Rep - there are still almost zero 50$ MTTs. Jumping from 20 to 100 buyins is huge. What the hell?

Checking Points balance for previous month on BWin Website is still not fixed. I adressed this issue since 2+ month. Please fix it. I wanna check my rakeback and points accumulation for previous months. Its not possible! Failure or feature?!

https://www.bwin.com/en/loyalty/account/accruals
clicking on second site for previous month brings: "No transactions found."

would be cool if party took that 100 at 8 est called "regular" and slapped a small guarantee on it like they do on sundays....they use to have a 109 nightly at 7 est but it dissapeared....make it a 4 or 5k guarentee and see how it goes
