*** Bryan's Official Party Poker MTT Thread *** - Page 6 - MTT Poker Strategy

Hey Bryan,

Care to shed some light on why aren't the Powerfest Sunday mains 2-day events? Only the 10k and 25k highrollers are, so it can't be no longer an issue that software wouldn't support it. These events tend to run around 17-18 hours.

If there's an actual reason like "our data shows more recreational players prefer 1-day events, which in turn attract weaker pros as well, resulting in overall bigger prize pools" then I'd be ok with, even though I personally dislike 1-day events. However the general feedback at least around 2+2 is that vast majority would prefer these as 2-day events.

17-18 hour tournaments are unfriendly to recs who have real life commitments. For instance, in $215 ME European players will have 3k-4k locked up when day at work starts. IMHO, it makes little sense to risk losing job for such a small amount of money. Of course, a lot of recs will have no idea how long this tournament will last... but still...

If you want $215 ME as one day event then make structures faster. 15/20 minute levels is a way too much.

If you're at risk of losing your job for taking one day off on zero notice, it's probably the kind of ****ty job that 3/4k is more than enough to let you quit.

I mean maybe don't stay up all night playing poker if you're going to fly a plane tomorrow, but McDonalds will survive if you fake having the flu.

Please give us some more variety of games during the series. Some more 6-max and even some 6-max freezout PLO, PLO8 and FLO8.

Imo it helps a lot to carry new people that you offer more of this different formats/games. And not only with "PKO" idea which begins to bet a bit boring.

New client shows $215 and $1050 as multiday, even though official schedule don't mention so (yet). A welcomed change! Kudos!

Thanks for the updates, software is MUCH better... still needs a few tweaks as others have mentioned but looking good.

Is there anyway way you guys can incorporate something similar to micro millions? I think your mtt schedule is the most important right now with the lack of options...we need something asap. There just isn't enough to play for micro/ low stakes players. you guys seem to be doing good things for poker so Let's do something to bring them in?

really don't understand why you had to replace all 109 freezes during peak time with 5-10k gtd pko's. Nothing to play before uppercut

Is the new software available for Bwin?
I think not, but just to be sure. Since the company is Bwin Party do u know when the new software will be on Bwin? For rakeback do I need to opted it on Bwin?

There's no equivalent of partypoker's cashback on bwin - confirmed to me by support. No choice but change to party.

Think bwin was the first site where i registered when i started playing poker. It's a shame they don't keep up in the poker dept. I wouldn't have left if their offering was on par with party's.

Dear Bryan,

Why do you hate so much any form of Omaha? It seems Party wants us to play the same game until death. So depressing.

They could get a fat guarantee if rebuys weren't raked or were raked a lot less.
