[OFFICIAL] 888 2015 MTT Discussion Thread - Page 183 - MTT Poker Strategy

I can see you are trying almost as hard as PS to destroy your games. Congratz on destroying Big Fishes with this stupid stacks and structures. They were one of the greatest MTTs around and now you managed to make them flip-fests.

Hey 888,

The 'Please note that from now on all buy ins will be taken from your bonus balance...' pop up; while this is informative, maybe we only need to be reminded of this once/game or not at all. Also perhaps instead of 'My Account', this could link players to an existing page more easily located on the main lobby.

Many thanks

Any news on this after 1 month ? Thanks

what was the reason in changing structures there?

pretty disappointed (as usual) with you 888

I won a 16.5 Big Fish Ticket in your daily wheel of fortune (and I know they are valid only 7 days), and it told me it takes 48~72 hours to hit my account. I wanted to play it right away, but of course it was not there yet. The next day, it also was not there yet, so I scheduled this game for the end of the 7 day period. Now when I finally received the ticket, it was only valid for 5 days, not 7, as the time it took to get into my account was already deducted. wtf 888?

I sincerely want this to be fixed and the validation of the ticket be extended for another ~50 hours.

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

pls use smaller starting stacks.
up to 10K is perfect.
25 or 30K on Sunday or special versions
50K on XL series.
Also change place to players left/itm.Bottom left corner is totaly empty.

I played the $109 London qualifier yesterday night.
3000 starting, great old school structure, 10 min clock. Awesome.

Totally agree on this, the 30-50k stacks are such a bad move, they should be used only on Sundays and XL events. The structure also is so poor in this higher starting stacks, most of them are turbo in last 2-3 tables...

I agree that structures have become significantly worse since the implementation of 50k stacks. These weird blind jumps from like 2k/1k to 3k/1.5k are way too big and affect the smoothness of the games.

Does anybody have a clue how to solve this? When the software prompted for the recent update, it failed and deleted my 888poker client, when I tried to install it back with a clean install I get this message every time. There is almost no info online I could find with similar cases. And 888 support are notorious for not replying to e-mails.

We apologize for not being very communicative in the last couple of months.
There were some personnel changes within the department. We definitely care about all of the feedback here and plan to be more active in 2019.

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

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

We will consider adding a few lvls to make the structure slightly deeper even tho it is pretty successful overall. Meanwhile we still offer plenty of tournaments with deeper structures that you are welcome to play.

Some concrete suggestions:
1.) Move 19:00 GMT $1 1k Goldfish to earlier time slot (maybe to 16:00 or 17:00 GMT) and put $1.1 PKO at current Goldfish time slot. I am sure recs will love PKO with its faster structure at 19:00.
2.) $5 Mini Daily Challenge at 19:30 GMT is struggling. I personally always skip it because it is a bit too much to play $5 tournament with 12 minute lvl so late. It might be good to replace Mini Daily Challenge with $5.5 PKO. Maybe with 8 minute levels?
3.) Both of your $33 big fish tournaments have 15 minute lvl. However, 15:30 GMT tournament seems to work better than 18:30 GMT tournament. Probably 18:30 is a bit too late for such a deep structure. Maybe change $33 18:30 Big Fish to PKO?
4.) Please add $1/$1.5 sats to $7.5 PKO. Please increase the GTD of $7.5 PKO to 7-7.5k.
5.) You have $11 KO at 17:00 GMT, the same time as $7.5 PKO. It might be better to change this KO to $11/$12 PKO and put it with 8 or 6 min lvl at 20:00 GMT (like $55 PKO).

Good suggestions, most of this was done.

The new $1.1 PKO should be in yellow bold like other PKOs. Players might miss it since it is not in bold.

done.

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.

We are looking into this, will probably do it in the near future.
