maybe change the tornado into that? "The 88,8 Tornado" looks cool, it starts in a nice timeslot aswell... U could even keep Tornados structure but push it with satelites and as Agus said make it your daily tourney

even tho i like playing ur daily schedul there is no tournament that u can make lets say 100 buy-ins, maybe this 88$ could be it

Now that the "Late night crocodile" is a rebuy it ALWAYS reaches and exceeds its $6K GTD prizepool.

How about helping it grow by now making it a $8-10K GTD prizepool instead.

Also: Minimum entrants could easily be changed to 3-4 players now. Instead if the 5 players minimum requirement.

Thanks!

Played Monday Twins this week.
That's how were stacks deep at last 3 tables:



Amazing ~20BB deep stacked game. You can fold or 3Bet all-in. I am sure recs love these because they love to open 20% of UTG and then fold to 3Bet shove all the time.
Please make Challenges with same blind levels as Swordfishes. Ty!

Yes this is what i meant
It was totally unnecessary imho and it just make these "flagship" tournaments much worse then for example regular 22$ 2k guarantee DeepStack.

I played quite a bit on 888 poker the last days.
So here are some comments.

Why the tables open in different sizes without any logic...sometimes the smallest buyin has double the size from a big buyin table and sometimes vice versa. Not a big deal, but why?

Nearly every session i got a tilting problem. After timing out/connection problems on my side i click the "i am back" button and everything seems normal but then i still autofold. Pretty frustrating when you see your premium holdings folded automatically when other tables on 888 work fine. I need to close that specific table and reopen it. Its not happening after every disconnect but it was happening at least 10 times to me already.
Costs me already a lot of chips in tournaments.

Can you change the structure of the 12$ Smokin NLO8 tournament? It had yesterday under 8bb average on the final table. Is it even on purpose a turbo tournament? Your weekly 55$ Smokin O8 tournament as 15 minutes blinds instead to 6 minutes for this one. When you have two tournaments with the same branding i think there should be at least similar structures. Just add 1-2 turbo O8 tournaments and make this one a reg speed.

In general you can raise some guarantees in your daily schedule in the dark season, everything i play normally smashes the gtd pricepool.

Mixed feelings about your loyalty program. Its great for people with no bankroll. There is always a free tournament where you can win something and the daily spin is giving out something for everyone every day. But if you rake more, then you easily get under 1% rakeback which seems a little bit to less. Find some ways to give a little bit more back to the grinders. Leaderboards, races...make the daily grind a little bit more fun.

Don't make experiments with your structures. It reminds me worst practices of Party Poker. Your structures probably are/were the best in industry. There is no reason to delete levels from your flagship tournaments. If HS regs complained about length of Tornado then reduce level length, make it 12 min lvl tournament. Don't ruin the Monsoon, the Swordfish, for instance. Wednesday Challenge is ruined already, it has become much faster than bigs of Pokerstars; 10 min levels without T1400, T2400 etc. - WTF?

what are doing to some of the structures? now the $5 and $12 deepstacks have better structures than the daily special mtts. The mini mega deep structure is still very poor, this hasn't been changed and needs to have levels 3k, 4k, 6k 7k etc like you did with some other tourneys. Yeah Wednesday challenge is destroyed with removed blind levels and only 10 min levels. This is making things worse instead of better, you had basically the best structures online, don't ruin it for no reason. You need to improve the daily schedule a little, forget about messing around with blind levels

What happened was multiple people came in here complaining about not wanting to play all night in the challenges, so hence they made changes.

Went to check Saturday challenge today, still ridiculous 15 min blinds with far too many levels -> will last until morning. Although little better than earlier with ridiculous intermediate levels removed, still far too slow.

15 mins -> 12 mins or even 10 mins (then you could add those intermediate levels back to compensate) and maybe people who don't want to spend until morning playing it and finishing like 6th could even play it. Also make it and other challenges start like 1-2 hours earlier would surely help.

Saturday Challenge did not last forever yesterday, it finished at 4.30am CET. It was about 30bb average with two tables left and had a lot of shortstackers.

I have posted that Friday Challenge was a bit too long. But it is too much to delete 10 levels because late stages will suffer. IMHO, it would have been better to have 5k 12 min lvl and more levels.

Is there a way to receive my hand history from the $1050 XL Main Event?

Contacted the support and they've sent me some htm file, which I couldn't open (through the browsers by default).

I asked them to check if that's the correct attached file and they-ve sent me the same thing (which I opened through notepad and saw that it contained some javascript functions in it)

Then I explained what exactly they are sending me and what I need and now they're sending me history from my cashier transactions on that day

As mentioned by someone else here, please change the loyalty program. The only things the grinders get is the coins, or am I missing something?? I dont want free level-up tickets or that bull****

Average stack of Wednesday Challenge is 17-18bb with 90 people left. Please bring back levels or increase level duration to 12 or 15 minutes.
For reference, Turbo Catfish with 43 remaining currently have 18bb average.

The entire schedule just blew up.
Most of the tournaments are just not playable anymore, not even if they slightly overlay, because of the structures. Once 888 used to have the best late stages, now I'd save only a couple tournaments.
Just go back to 12/15 minutes and add all the levels you took off before it's too late.

If you're not planning on improving your software, can we at least get some new objects to throw? Like a shoe or a waterballoon or something.
