888Rep, could you add PKO tab in the lobby? It would help players to find the new games.
The new $1.1 PKO should be in yellow bold like other PKOs. Players might miss it since it is not in bold.

like changing the thunder into 6max pko.
you should also consider changing the sunday challenge into a pko since got withered more and more. also perfect timeslot to have a huge 109 running. could even run it daily!
Also pls consider NOT to RAKE bounties like partypoker does! wondering why this havent come up here yet!!!

Think you should turn one of the off peak 55s and the 22 turbo into PKOs both are pretty withered. 22 6 max a much better tournament since the change!

There are a lot of intermediate levels missing, so ofc it's not the same.
You better not run a poker room my friend
For example today 72 players left in the Mega deep (144 entrants) the avg is 22x. This sucks.
Give us the old structures plz

Thank you adding PKO tab in the lobby. I would like to note that $1.1 PKO at 19:00 GMT is not under this tab.

19:00 GMT $1.1 PKO has 5k starting stack and has a of early levels skipped which gives much less play early. I would suggest to give to this PKO 30k staring stack, the same blind levels as $2.2 PKO and 8 minute lvl. Such kind of tournament in yellow should grow to 1k gtd.

I have not made any suggestions to Mega Deep. I usually make suggestions to stakes I play (micro/low).

Really dislike structure of $1.1 PKO. After 1 hour players have just 12bb with starting stack, it is way too short. With 75 minute LR and such fast structure you will have much less entries than with 30k starting stack and 8 minute lvl.

Please reform your MTT satellite tree because $5 and $30 games are no longer attractive. For instance, your biggest $5 is 1,5k gtd while biggest $30 is 3k gtd. At the same time you have $5.5 10k gtd bigfish and $33 25k gtd bigfish. Suggestion would be to reform your tree as follows: $1-$5.5-$33. After all remaining $5 and $30 tickets will expire upgrade all remaining $5 and $30 buyins to $5.5 and $33 respectively.
$1.1 PKO at 19:00 GMT deserves at least $750 gtd.

Vote for NLO8 hyper PKO from here. It's great action format for that, NLO8 PKO with 10 min blinds is far too slow imo.

There is just not a whole lot to play for low stakes (<$12) between 6-8pm uk time. After the $7.50 pko at 6pm there is literally nothing else until 7pm except a $1.5 turbo rebuy, even then it is only a $2.20 pko at 7pm. The next low stakes game is not until the $5.50 big fish at 7.30pm.

+1 either change the structure or add a Hyper NLO8 PKO, the current one is way too slow, much slower than Stars ones.

Exactly, and imagine i don`t have PKO`s at all so after 6pm i don`t have anything to play <12$...

Did you remove the $55 typhoon? If you have you could have replaced it with something.

@888rep could you at least consider adding 3-4 levels in the new structures?
They really lack playability: the avg stack is often under 25 bigs since mid stage.
I think adding t700, t1400, t 3000, and t 14000 would make a great adjust

888Rep, your new $5.5 PKO at 12:00 GMT might cannibalize $8.8 deepstack 8-8-8 at 12:15 GMT. My suggestion would be to move deepstack 8-8-8 some 15-45 minutes later. Likewise your new $33 PKO at 12:00 GMT and $22 Early Starfish at 12:45 could also be too close together and it might reasonable to move Early Starfish slightly further. Your $5.5 PKO at 20:30 GMT and $5 turbo deep at 20:45 GMT are within 15 minutes too.

Could you add some extra levels or longer clock to $5.5 5k Big Fish at 14:00 GMT? It is an early game and it could benefit from deeper structure (slightly longer LR and more entries). I personally skip it if I can't start my session before 15:00 GMT. Deeper structure would mean that I would play it more other.

Your have cut the gtd of $5 turbo deep at 16:00 GMT multiple times and I don't think it can recover. Since there are no regspeed micro tourneys ($1-$5.5) from 15:00 GMT to 16:30 GMT you could replace this turbo deep with $4.4 PKO (30k starting stack and 12 minute lvl).

I really dislike these 30k/50k starting stacks. Don't understand why you copy this fetish from Party and didn't copy no rake on bounties for example. All these PKOs (and other MTTs with 30k/50k) are just pathetic turbo tournaments with ridiculous rake and small fields. IDK how you can think this is sustainable long term.

I re-posted this from Internet Poker forum. I think this belongs in this thread rather then Internet forum thread.

Yeah liking that you added new tournaments but the structures are not good, even with 12min levels.


Also does every single tournament realllllllly have to be re-entry?

I think that PKO structures should be faster than structures of regular speed tournaments. However, a few additional levels (t700, t1400, t7000, t14000) could make sense. They would not prolong tournaments too much and more playability would be worth it.

However, they should not put 30k/50k structures in non-PKO tournaments. Deepstacks/regspeeds should be kept as they are because their structures are great. For instance, I really dislike that 4k Mini Great 8 has 30k starting stack and it is too fast now.

Did you just removed $30 14:00 Swordfish and added another withered PKO instead ???

PS: At least make some tournaments Sunday edition like you did last Sunday.

Keep getting mini-D/Cs every 3-4 mins on 888, all other sites no problems. Has been ongoing for a few weeks so I took a break from 888, back on and it's still a problem.

Anyone else having this issue?
