Is it possible to add a $33 any time between 1am and 7am GMT? Don't mind if reg/turbo or hyper.

Wanna spend my gold tokens on tickets but nothing in SEA timezone. If it were possible to buy 55s/109s that would also be cool, but iirc only 5.5/16.5/33 available.

Cheers

You can turn off the avatars in the settings. Makes it a little cleaner and easier to see cards but I agree, it is really tough to see where the action is. The cards are so small above the player names

Hello , i play poker in the microstakes on your site. I got 30$ in *bonus balance*, and i get that i have to wager a certain amount to be aligible to cash that money out. My question is, how is it not wagering ? I mean the wagering bar is the same no matter how much i play. Does NL10 not contribute to the wager ? Thank you in advanced

Why change the structure of the 33 big fish at 17.30pm cet? Used to be the flagship tournament of your site with perfect amount of play, almost always hit GTD and now you ruined it and turned it into a turbo like the later big fish. 50k starting stack change is fine but atleast add a few levels so we dont have to play 5-15bb poker on the final table. Please change this, lot´s of customers want normal structure on this tourney.

forgive me if im being stupid, but what happened to the the tournaments above 109 on 888? i cant seem to find them anymore, i believe they were the 215 KO and a 320 whale tournament.

888rep you should explain this, what is the reasoning behind random structure changes which just make the tournaments worse?

I have already said this but your tournament structures are so inconsistent, you have some micro mtts which have much better structures than your "flagships" like big fish series and pko's, can you please explain why this is? The tournaments with 30k and 50k starting stacks have horrible structures, as the post above mentions, 50k is fine but they really need more blind levels added. I don't play your tournaments purely because of the structures, its a really simple fix, i am only asking you to add a few more blind levels, some of your tournaments literally have the blind levels i'm asking for, please just add them to more of your tournaments.

Just looking at the lobby now, you have a $2 rebuy $500gtd with a great structure, but then your flagship $33 $15kgtd is horrible?

These are just some of the micro mtts that have better structures

$5 turbo $800gtd
$2.20 rebuy 1kgtd
$3.30 mini swordfish
$5 1k deepstack
$11 ko 1.5k
$2.20 ko

lol you even have a 10 cent buy in that has a better structure than your majors, wtf?

why does the 16.50 big fish have a bigger gtd than the 33 big fish

for 6m tournaments, you need to make the ft 7 handed so final two tables are even

youre the only site that doesnt have 1st/2nd the same in pskos

allow tickets to be used for rebuys... when buying in with a ticket dont auto highlight cash first (auto take ticket or at least highlight ticket first)

Very dissapointed with the change of $30 The Late Night Swordfish 3.000 GTD for the $55 Classic PKO. This was the first game I played daily and now if I happen to start my grind a few minutes later for any reason can't reg it as it's not optimal to late reg PKOs by too much. Also the no rebuy thing makes it quite annoying if you bust your stack on the first couple hands.

Doubt you'll do anything based on this post alone and you probably had your reasons for the switch but yea, had to put it out there.

PLEASE sort your absolute aids of a site out.

Before you introduced these new look tables out not once did the site crash - now I have it crash at the very least 5 times per session.

This has been going on for so long and I know it's not just me - I have a great PC, as do many of my friends who also have this issue. Probably just cost me about $400 in TeV when it disconnects in a CL pot on a river with 13 left forcing me into folding. This is a complete and utter farce, its a daily occurance but you clearly think it's more important that the tables are slightly more pleasing on the eye than whether your customers lose money or not because of it.

Agree.Sad to see Late Night Swordfish removed ,it was one of the best tournaments of the night.

I have a few suggestions for after the series is over:

1.Add a daily Mini Mega Deep ($22 10k gtd? )
2.I like the Classic concept but you need to guarantee at least 50 people for normal tournaments and 100 for pko or they won't last.I see you already removed the $100 Classic 21 GMT.My suggestion is to try $50 3K gtd at 21 GMT and change $50 pko from 23 GMT to $25 3k gtd ;see if it works ,if not you can go down up to 2k gtds and would still be better than now.
3.I feel like Late Mega Deep and Late Monsoon are not great tournaments anymore ; maybe they are too close to each other and one bigger tournament would be better.Have a $55 5k gtd Late Mega Deep instead.Add 2 sats with 5 seats gtd. each -one $5 and one $12 and will hit the gtd easy.
4.Bring back Late Night Swordfish ! If you remove Late Monsoon as I suggested that would be a great spot (01 GMT), if not - why not the old spot (23 GMT ).Even with 2.5k or 2K gtd would still be a great tournament.
5.General suggestions:
You really should implement the show chips in big blinds option like every other site has right now.
You should get back to the old bonus policy or sth reasonable ;because right now people feel like they are getting scammed and is one of the reason your games are not as good as it used to be.

Good points. Especially the bonus policy. Must be hurting your business.

I played it.
This was my last hand (just before the bubble):

888Poker, Hold'em No Limit - 2,000/4,000 (500 ante) - 9 players
Replay this hand on CardsChat

UTG: 57,201 (14 bb)
UTG+1: 39,781 (10 bb)
MP: 3,534 (1 bb)
MP+1: 127,202 (32 bb)
LP: 48,094 (12 bb)
CO: 48,862 (12 bb)
BU: 36,322 (9 bb)
SB: 57,123 (14 bb)
BB (Hero): 29,181 (7 bb)

Pre-Flop: (10,500) Hero is BB with J J
3 players fold, MP+1 raises to 10,000, 4 players fold, Hero 3-bets to 28,681 (all-in), MP+1 calls 18,681

Flop: (63,862) T K T (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (63,862) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (63,862) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: 63,862

Showdown:
BB (Hero) shows J J (a full house, Tens full of Jacks)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 72%, Flop: 11%, Turn: 5%, River: 0%)

MP+1 shows K 9 (a full house, Tens full of Kings)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 28%, Flop: 89%, Turn: 95%, River: 100%)

MP+1 wins 63,862

Should I have folded and eventually secure a min cash?
The guy raising was a spew monkey so I knew I probably was ahead but was afraid that the guy would get lucky.

Just a coincidence that the guy getting most lucky and winning the tournament was a 888 poker team? But i´ll guess its just skill when you hit quads on the flop with JJ vs AA etc.
Is 888 getting a share of their poker ambassadors winnings?

really wish you would just add more blind levels to some of your tournaments to make them more playable. For some reason you have good structures in some tournaments and poor structures in others. The PKO tournaments have terrible structures, but then you have some random micro stakes with great structures? It's like you just deploy a new tournament without giving much thought to the structure.

The whole lobby and tournament schedule needs a revamp, it's just a mess at the moment.

It makes me really really sad to see you not dealing with the bots seriously... Just the other day a whole 10% of the 88 PKO field were suspect bots. This sunday 1 suspect bot took 13000 dollars out of the players pool.

The bots are programmed to attack weak player tendencies and they crush recreationals right away. In a matter of 2-3 years there will be more bots if you dont do anything against the issue, waaaay less recs because they lost their money and as a result of that the regs leave= no rake for 888 poker. This is not sustainable for the ecosystem so please do something before its too late...
