All the changes are amazing so far.
Auto timebank and deal option would be nice too.
Also some 55$ buy-in tournament between Twister and Breeze looks to be a good option. 109$ is a bit too high, as all players playing higher stakes are mostly starting later. 55$ will be just fine, and i think will obv smash like 5-6k guarantee.

Really great that you're improving things and taking ideas from the thread but the top 3 software changes on this list far outweigh any tournament tinkering imo. 888 still so hard to mix tables in.
Guess that's because changing antes is by far easier than implementing synced breaks and stuff.

I am glad to see we are all on the same page with the software changes URGENTLY NEEDED.

Please make the auto-timebank activation the number one priority. It is a huge frustration that limits regulars from playing more volume.

You will see a dramatic increase of regulars at the tables and that is guaranteed.

Also,

The sit out next hand function needs to be fixed.

Currently, when you click it, you don't instantly sit out (like on Stars and FTP).
You have to wait one more full hand and then the hand after that you are finally sitting out.

It is an annoyance for the sychronized breaks.

A suggestion.

Add cash bonuses and tournament tickets in the rewards shop (just like it is on Winamax and other rooms). Because now if you have less than 1.7k points or so, you can't do anything with it (you can only convert it to cash after you reach enough points).

I'd like to update you about a few quick fixes:

I have a few more suggestions:

1. Make the starting stack 5000 chips as a standard for all your deepstack tournaments. the $4 deepstack at 15:30 BST and $22 deepstack at 15:00 both have 3000 chips and dont quite play as a deepstack. The $35 deepstacks also need both the 120 minute late reg and 12.5% antes which you may have missed.


2. Some freezeout tournaments also have a 2000 or 2500 chip starting stack, which should be changed to the minimum 3000, examples of this are the $6 $1000 at 19:15 BST.

3. The $25 $1000 6max at 20:30 also could do with an extra 15-20 minutes of late registration which will also help to boost the prizepool (I believe it used to be $1500 but is slowly decreasing).

<3
15:30 BST $5 - changed to 5k chips + new blind structure
15:00 BST $22 - ditto
$35 Deepstack (2 tournies) - fixed

19:15 BST $6 - fixed

$25 6-max at 20:25 - latereg increased


Guys, thanks (again!) for all of your constructive feedback. We will gradually address your suggestions as applicable.

Enjoy the weekend!

Lol at least be realistic, it has a 1k guarntee that barely get's beat. 5k should be the end goal for this gimmicky tournament, and even that is pushing it imo.

And 888 i find it disgusting that you place an add during the break of the 2.50 snap tournaments. I mean we already pay rake....

You should also def make the Sunday guarantees bigger of all the highroller events. The monsoon gets more than half it's guarantee as first prize, and I m sure it could do much better but I personally just skip the Sunday tornado and such because of their lousy 8k guarantees. Put 20k on them and I m always playing I m sure there's at least 100 guys thinking exactly the same
this a hundred times, i remember checking the tornando almost every sunday and skipping it bcz of no people playing it

Please fix the structures on the micros/low stakes to start with earlier antes.

Hi,
We are not ignoring this. It's just a bit more complicated than other requests that we can easily implement.
First of all, we are not convinced that the suggested solution is one that we like since we want to avoid very long breaks (sometimes as long as 8-10 minutes), especially in large tournaments, where the vast majority of the players are recreationals, and for many of them, even the 5-min is too long.
Weighing the discomfort of some players (a mobile device can help in some cases…) versus the enthusiasm to play of thousands of recreational players, the decision is not straightforward.
We will continue discussing this internally as well as consider other possibilities and we will let you know once we have a decision.

Eventually. In the meantime, let us know if you have specific requests.
