Wsop never used to have big limit holdem. i asked bill years ago to add bigger limit as well as plo over 5-10 and he did. I am not sure why they got rid of the bigger limit and even got rid of the bigger nl games (they used to have 50-100 and 200-400 and i saw both run a few times). I have played a lot of 15-30 30-60 on wsop and can say that limit is dead. For the first week we had 5-10 and 10-20 that seemed promising and now nothing. During the series theres been the occasional game bigger and im assuming you may be the guy who played 100-200 with me a bit over the summer
In general wsop is missing the mark hard with a lot of things. The tournament schedule is horrible. The times are all off. There used to be a 3 hour period in NV where a bunch of tournaments were running. Even on weekends the saturday schedule used to be much better. They no longer have the 30 rebuy 6 max that was good. I also don't get why they have these all in sattelites for mtt tickets and not just run a daily 100 buy in hu shootout clearly the software has that ability.
I am still doing a giant writeup of all the issues with wsop that needs to be changed. Right now some of the key points are:
More lammer sattys: step sngs didnt work but can def run 10 dollar and 25 dollar mtts nonstop for 1k lammers
Better mtt schedule: more plo tourneys, hu mtt shootouts, more nl tourneys in general bc its lacking hard. Also raise the guarantees to reflect what its actually hitting. They dont realize that if a tourney has a 7k gtd and hits 12k every night well make it 10k gtd now more people play it bc its bigger next thing you know 15k prize pool. Some of these mtt structures are also absurd. During their tourney week they had 1 turbo you could come in with like .8 bb or something insane.
Tourney tickets for winning satellites: No satellite should be a must enter. You should get tickets. If people can stock up tickets they will fire more and more satelites making those go from giving away 2 seats to now 6. Also make it so you can use tickets for rebuys/reentries/addons it only makes the prize pools bigger.
RSA tokens. For the love of god give people the option to have better security. RSA tokens have been around for ages. I know 2 people with 6 figures on there because of the 25-50 plo if i was in their shoes id be stressed knowing how horrible customer service is. I still am waiting for a 100 refund from when the geolocation issue happened site wide and still nothing.
Bring back full ring nl tables. They claim they did it in order to help the games last but it did the opposite. I have met a ton of people live who literally stopped playing bc they play 2-5 or 5-10 nl 9 handed live and they want to do the same online. They want to just relax 1 table full ring. The 2-5 nl on wsop used to be amazing and when they got rid of those games they assumed those guys would shift to 6 max and theyd make more in rake. Problem is a lot of those guys quit or went all the way to 25-50 cent nl. They offer full ring limit and full ring plo but not nl.
The rake at hu sngs: For some reason the rake is identical at hu sngs for hypers as the nonturbo (only other option). Im sort of torn on this one because knowing our luck they will keep the hyper the same and raise the nonturbo.
random software glitches: I will randomly have tablets where i cant click the replayer or open lobby buttons at all. Its quite annoying in a cash game to not be able to look at the replayer. Only way to fix it is to restart that table and if its a cash game well maybe you just lost your seat. Another big issue is peoples rakeback is giving errors when they click on that tab. Mine finally works but i know a few with issue still.
Also wtf is going on with total rewards. I hit 7 star from grinding soley on wsop and because i have 0 action in the pitts they won't guarantee me free rooms anymore. I also lost my 500 celebration dinner everyone gets for hitting 7 star. I talked to 2 other people and they are having the same issue. They should prefer people like me who just give them 6 figures a year in rake. A whale who bets big in blackjack who loses 100k in a year can occasional beat them one year. Im pure profit to them. They really need to figure that out as its not fair that they offer 7 star but you don't get all the perks of being 7 star.
I know a lot of issues are limited as long as wsop keeps using 888s software. Hopefully wsop sees the longgame and is working on building its own software. Right now everyone wants horse, mixed, chinese, etc and unless 888 decides to add that to their client (never gonna happen) we wont't get it.
This was just a rough thing i wrote while multitabling so excuse the spelling grammar and just utter mess. If anyone has anything that should be included in this email to wsop post it here. Really hoping that if its written well enough and enough people tweet/email them they may care. A lot of people are telling me im wasting my time but its worth a shot
