nice touch giving the big fish tournaments different table layouts

Does anybody do the Sport Sweepstakes - I know this is not MTT, but it is part of my 888-poker account. I ran this daily but 888 has not updated these since April 13 - I have asked support but they honestly don't know and don't get me an answer. Everybody has the same lag in feedback/results ?

i think you guys need a decent turbo in the middle of the day

probably something in the $30 range, maybe $12r

Big fish tournaments look good. A few comments:
1.) Structure of $5.5 big fish at 3pm uk looks a bit fast because it is an early mtt and after a bit more than hour you get 25bb with starting stack. It would be better to run it with 12 minute lvl and with more intermediate levels such as T700, T1400, T1800 etc.
2.) $5 deepstacks at 3.30pm uk and 4.15pm will be cannibalized by big fish. I would suggest to merge these two deepstacks into one with higher gtd and probably brand it as "early deepstack blowfish" at 4pm or 4.30pm. If you will have "early deepstack blowfish" you could re-brand $5 deepstack at 5:45uk as "deepstack blowfish".
3.) Since you now have $5.5 and $33 buy-ins it might make sense to get rid of $5 and $30 buy-ins (probably after xl series) and change buy-ins of steps satellites accordingly.

+1

levels 700, 1400, 1800 for all the BIG Fish tournaments please.

+1, Big fish 5.5$ at 3 pm really needs 12 mins lvls

I really enjoy these Big Fish tournaments it would be awsome to see some special edition of them on Sundays, they have potential!

-1, its fine to have some 10 min games when you have plenty of deepstacks and super deep structures already on the site.

6.5 hours run time in today 5.50 big fish is great

nice ! the big fish tournaments are looking good . thank you for not removing too many tournaments , hope it stays that way.

Sad to see the rebuys removed though , I know didn't perform very well but 888 is the only site where you can still play some decent rebuys .Don't let the format die .5k catfish and 2.5k turbo catfish will still be good, but at least bring back one of them . I think 19-19:30 GMT is a better timeslot ,because it's not affected by the deepstack catfish and big fish 16.5 .

You do realize that $30 tournaments have lower rake ~ 9% (27.5+2.5).I think it's one of the reasons $30 tournaments always had great support on 888.Would rather keep the lower rake but can't really complain if it's not. Another option is $35(32+3) ,which worked out great in the friday challenge.

anyone else not getting security codes on time ?

can literally take hours before i get a working code after many that don't work (guess it's time to turn this **** off)

Hey guys,

The XL Inferno is starting today!
These are today's events (GMT time):

18:00 $109 100K gtd Opening Event
18:01 $12 20K gtd Mini Opening Event
20:00 $55 25K gtd Late Opening Event

Good luck!

It doesn't look like you are listening to what the player want 888

Me and a few others asked from more Rebuys. A few others disagreed with adding more... fine dont add more but don't ****ing get rid of all but two of your rebuys for peak UK/ROW players!

As for someone else comment about Rebuys "increasing the cost of playing too high" (or something to that affect, then have two of the $1.5 Rebuys at peak times for smaller stakes players, then the two $5r for "mid-stakes" and then two 12r for " higher stakes" with lowered guarantees like others suggested

Its only six Rebuys in total from like 4pm to 10pm which would be one every hour while mixing up small/medium/large with Slow/Turbo

All you have now is a Turbo $5r at 7.30 and then a Slow one at 10pm... great logic to have the turbo one earlier at night and the Slow one late at night!

Though new tournaments you added are great, really nice buyins and structure etc but they are exactly what we asked for less of... RE-ENTRY bull****.

If you are not going to remove re-entries then at least reduce the unlimited re-entry and/or the length of the late registration which makes running times too long and induces players to buy in for like 10 big blinds

The 33 Big Fish is missing a re-entry sign in the lobby

It's not a Re-Entry, it's a 2nd ( unlimited ) chance

pls deploys some more 1 to 12$ sats into the schedule. maybe make em 5m, 1 or 2 seats gtd

The 1/4 stack re entry in the quarterback tournament is just beyond a terrible idea. I'd be in for multiple bullets if its a clean re entry as would many other regs, but who wants to rebuy for a quarter of starting stack? I can't even begin to imagine how anyone ever thought that would be a good idea.

It’s a fun concept and u don’t pay rake on the small bullets. I personally like it and they have never struggled as a format

Too bad they just copy-paste the XL series schedule everytime, ofc the quarterback has been eliminated recently from the daily schedule.

How can u left 19:00 CEST slot without any mid-stakes tourney? Bring back $24 Deep-stack(4k Gtd) please? Don't let this slot empty.

Is this a mistake that you have $5 4k mega mirco at 20:30 cet and $5.5 15k big fish at 20:31 cet on sunday? Maybe you could re-brand 18:45 cet $5 deep stack as mega micro and run it on daily basis with deepstack structure (just like mega deep)?

This morning (European time) software ran an update on me and now the replayer is showing potsizes of zero - is that just me or everyone ?

Big Fish tournaments are one step in the right direction, thx for those!

Will betslider be available this year or in 2019?

Any chance of adding more Zoom tournies?

I would love to see some similar to what Stars offers but during the day eastern time zone (as they don't really have em then).

My suggestion would be $10-25 PKO deepstack with 7 minute blinds in the 11-3pm ET as Stars doesn't have any during that time frame.

Another good one you guys could add would be a Heads Up PKO zoom in the $20-30 range during 11-3pm ET as Stars has none during that time period.

These are very fun tournies that everyone loves for a variety of reasons, fast, bounties, low variance due to playing tons of hands.

You could even add an Omaha (regular or PKO) zoom for a bit higher than what you offer ($10-20) as Stars has nothing like that.

Just throwing it out there.

Another automated update this morning, but issue still apparent.

Hey guys,

We plan to add 2-3 more Big Fish tournaments to our schedule.
Which buy-ins would you like them to be? Which starting time? maybe a different format? (6-max, 8-max, R&A etc). Would love to hear some feedback about this and about the current Big Fish tournies as well.

Thanks and good luck at the tables

I would change the second $33 big fish into a $55 and remove the monsoon. It already cannibalizes the monsoon and the other 33 is close to it anyways.

You probably have room somewhere for a $44 turbo big fish, i think you guys need a flagship turbo somewhere during prime time anyways


a $12 r/a early in the schedule probably would work as a big fish
