Can you tell us which hotel the wsop Europe package winners are staying as I have been back and forth with support who inform me to just check in at kings but that I won't be staying there but at one of their partner hotels. If is some distance from where the tournament is being held it would be nice to plan for it. Thanks.

Its not as bad as it sounds. They essentially have several rooms in little Rozvadov. And worse case scenario, you will be just across the border in Germany and KINGS will run a shuttle to get you. But plan ahead for the shuttle as it be picking up lots of others.... rental car would be best regardless.

This is the reply I received to your query:

The qualifiers will be allocated a hotel at the check in at the Casino. Unfortunately we don’t know exactly which hotel they will allocate to which member.

Please see below their FAQ with regards to the hotel:

“I booked a hotel room. Where do I check in?

If you ordered a hotel room at King’s Casino please come to the casino reception first. Your key will be ready there. Don’t go to the hotel directly.”

The member can also contact directly Kings Casino and they will provide him all the info:

I was for 3k - 6k stacks in rebuys before they put them in, but now i actually think its better to have 2k - 5k because it creates more action and more rebuys which is healthier for the format

Wow,there was indeed no time bank all the way through!I guess who needs time bank at a final table, not like there's going to be any tough decisions to be made, right?
The standards poker sites are setting recently are getting lower and lower with every passing minute.

There was a timebank. You can still see it in the tournament lobby. Click tournament info and on the rightmost column next to the structure you can see the timebank and its refresh rate.

Played one of your 8,88$ tournaments yesterday.
Around 550 players and play time was 8,5 hours...is it just me or is this a little bit too long for a relatively small tournament?


For how long you play these really big tournaments? 24 hours?

+1. Most larger non-turbo tournaments are far too long so I don't simply play them. Late registration helps, but if major tournaments starts like 9 pm EET, late reg closes at 1 AM and tournament finishes around 6 AM or even later I am simply not going to play them.

Shorter levels at least for start and remove some useless levels too. At later stage of tournament it's okay to get a bit longer levels like 8 min / 10 min / 12 min.

Just make sure u dont reg the $8 or $5 deepstacks, they average around 10 hours with less than 500 runners and around $500 first.Just too damn deep to consider playing.

Maybe I am blind or this 'feedback' don't come from 2+2. Majority of poeople are literally begging for better structures e.g. Party, PS threads. I really don't get why weekly majors can' have decent structure like on other sites.
You removed some random levels which lead to worse structure then your daily freeze-outs. What a fun to play with five 15Bigs players on your left. So much fun and game-play. Maybe there is a reason that DeepStack Swordfish is so popular despite early starting time.
Obviously I am not saying we should make every tournament super deep 10 hours+ marathon, I am just saying that at least non-turbo weekly majors should get decent structures.
And people who complain about 5$ DeepStack playing too long and with 1st place getting over 100 buy-ins can't be taken seriously.

hint: Play bigger buy-ins if you think that 500$ for 5$ is bad.

You call 10 hours a marathon yourself, so why should any non major take so long with such a small field.

The mini marathon on stars has double starting stack, 5k players and 5x first prize and takes 12 hours vs 888 $5 deep 500 player 5 first taking 10 hours.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Although the information was available in the lobby, this was a configuration mistake. We have fixed it for future reference.

You are probably right. I wasn't talking about this tourney specifically, maybe 12min levels would be better for this one.
Just don't skip important blind levels e.g. Challenges etc. Don't go from 600/1200 to 800/1600 to 1000/2000...
Smoother level jumps with shorter intervals are imo better then huge level jumps with larger intervals.
