first of all, wpwp 888!

break is fine as it is imho for the reasons u stated, way more important is the timebank and stacking issue which currently prevents me from playing more than 2x 888 tables at the same time.
also do an "XL" series as addition to the "XXL" series (more midstakes, lets say 11-109 BI range+ 215main) and deploy them every ~2months, changing between xxl and xl (like mini ftops, then u have 3x xxl and 3xl series/year which hardly is too much), start w xxl series during scoop (this is a huge opportunity for u guys, i hope u realise that)

decent ~22$ daily w 10k gua would be nice too

keep up the good worK! way more motivated to post here where suggestions actually are considered than in the stars thread where feedback doesnt seem to matter much)

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.
thank you for a response, i understand you don't want long breaks like 8-10 minutes, but surely you can see the breaks are too short with most mtts going well into a break before a hands complete, sundays especially this is a big problem because of bigger fields and less time for us to do things we can when playing on stars.
agreed their breaks can run too long but im sure you can come up with some way that is best for recs and regs

Just make breaks 6 minutes. As they are now, even if you're 1 tabling you're usually dealt into a hand when the break starts. This way most of the field will still get 5 minutes and recs wont really mind waiting one more minute.

You could even still call them 5 minute breaks. Just put a "the break will start shortly" message on the table and stop dealing at :55. Start the timer at :56

You already start most of your tournaments at :05 anyways. I wish all the sites did that

just realised this lol what a donk i am

24 4k still only one that needs them imo

wp 888

also i think the 27 turbo isnt getting its full potential cos of the 2k gurantee i open it most days and it has 400-500 ftw thats not worth space on most grinders screens even if u put it to 5k guara i think youd see it get alot more love these are the most popular games on stars 27 turbs/kos/psko

as soon as people see something with 1k+ for the win there more likely to play it

and more players = more rake so win win

yeah I just reg the 27$ KO to help it grow, it's weird that all KOs on this site are withered. maybe promote them more or just try to up a grtd and see if it rolls...

maybe making it a super KO will help? ppl love to be able and bust 2 guys to breakeven.

Just wanted to say, kudos to the recent work being put in. Admittedly, I play most my poker on stars, but I think it's a really nice touch that whenever I do deposit, there is a bonus that I can redeem. I certainly feel like a valued customer.

Candidates for early antee structure...

24 4k
22 deepstakcs (3k, 2k, 2k)
35 deepstack 3.5k
every 35 turbo
55 kos
35 6max turbo 3k
every 11 freezout
every rebuy (4rebuys, 5rebuy, 11r5k)

basically every tournament that has a guarantee above 1k...

Also there needs to be a special KO daily tournament with a big guarantee. Tsunami knockout someone suggested, 55 super ko 5k -10k guarantee. Please add it to the daily high roller scheduale. And consider bumping guarntees of the 55 kos.

Add it to where the lightening use to be, perfect time slot to fit in a 55

Any reason the smaller ones should be left out?

No absolutely not, its just a matter of priority. Every single mtt should have the new structure.

Especially anything deep stack, it takes like 1.30 to reach antees.

the 55KOs are 25+25+5. why would people play a tourney that is raked 20% ?

although i dont think this is the issue haha. i see many regs playing that thing and i bet they dont know they are charged 20%.

Here are a list of the Kos in the schedule..
11 750
27 2k
22 400
55 1k
55 1.250
11 400
5.50 700
4.40 700
209 mega knockout sunday 5k LOL

and probably a few other lower buyins (under 4) kos with tiny guarantees. What a joke. Please consider bumping up some of the KOS.

Really?
And i wouldn't bother complaining about rake 888 is a site that would NEVER lower rake in any given format.

the$ 27 turb kos on stars reach 50k+ about 6-7 times a day they are usualy 30k guara or round abouts i realise that this isnt what you should do but 5k guara and i will personaly give up all my rakeback to the site to the amount that it overlays, its in a great time slot, just not getting the love cos of the small guarantee and subsequent 500<> for the win

There is a small 11r after twister but ideally a 25fo 5k gtd would be awesome 1 hr after twister. Maybe even max it 6 max for some variety

We are continuing to add the early ante structure to more and more tournaments and we will implement it on almost all of our MTT offering in the upcoming weeks.

As a token of appreciation for the great feedback here, we will run a freeroll awarding 10 $55 tournament tickets. The tournament will be held at 18:01 GMT next Tuesday (28.4), will have 60 minutes of late registration, and will be restricted by password (Oh, and it will have the new early ante structure ). You can find it under the restricted tab, Its named: "TwoPlusTwo MTT discussion thread freeroll". I will update this thread with the password a couple of hour before the tournament starts.

Keep sending us your feedback. We will not always be able to be swift with implementation of changes as we have been recently, but I can guarantee that MTT improvement is a top priority of ours and your suggestions are being taken seriously, and very much appreciated.
