Yes, any explanations? It's one of the reasons I hesitate playing the sats, not always sure where I end up when winning a seat, and certainly have no control over it --

(Warning: wall of text with compliments and critiques)

Patrick, Sunday was smashing. Thank you. I particularly liked the sunday warm ups, but could use a minor tweak... see below

One item I still think needs addressed.

I am a serious rec, that has a full time job that supports my family. I have a great job and 6-fig salary so poker (as a hobby and sport) cannot interfere with that. But as a SERIOUS rec, I rarely miss Sundays and have been a long time customer of Party. I try to game select games that will give ample play, have best value, and reach ITM/finish at reasonable hour.

Yesterday I regged the early part of the Sunday majors. I brick 3 or 4 others as I build a stack in Super Sunday Warm Up - H. After 6hrs we neared the money, and as I made a deep run I get conflicted. The MTT payout is fine, $37k for 1st is nearly 4 months of salary. BUT... it becomes hard to stay focused as the time winds onward thinking about how this late running game is going to impact my work the next day. This MTT ended 05:39 CET (12.5hrs), roughly when I wake up to get ready for work.

Ok enough rambling... but I think if Party wants to encourage more recs to play these games then consider multiple solutions so we (recs) can better fit them in our schedule:

1) Have tournament day 1 end after 9hrs, and continue to play the next evening

2) Shorten blind levels just by 2 minutes (16 to 14), this MTT ended around level 40. That would have saved approx 80 min (~1.5hrs)

3) If this truly is a warm up, lets start this bigger gtd 1hr earlier.

If you incorporate #1 or #2 & #3 (combined), this ends around 2am and would give the working man a chance to take a nap prior to heading into work.

The counter argument: "If you win, take the day off."

Sounds GREAT in theory, but in the real world people count on other people in business. And a single win will not support my family should I randomly call in on Mondays for every deep run.

Pads please consider these tweaks IF the plan at Party IS to encourage more recs to play on your site.

+1 for Day 2 MTTs on Sunday when you use the same structure in the future plz

It s 2018 bro, at least half player have a basic understanding of PKO or ICM....

So after the donks bust first hour the tables are consolidated and stacks are often 300k-400k . blind 7K.

But as the ITM is not close , it s festival of raise-fold fold, nobody has interest to waste chip, any decent player sit on stack waiting premium so it s similar to a lame very tight cash game... at least from hour 3 to hour 5. The opposite of what the format should be.
I don t even mention the players who have to wake up early, they can t play.....
Day1-Day2 is aq possible option indeed

Love the look of the schedule today at mid/low. More MTTs, and level times have been reduced where appropriate.

And GTDs are up! Great work.

tables and schedule looking great. vwp guys

Yep - schedule looks nicer. Smooth style tournaments look set to take off - could they even give PKOs some competition?

Yep, have to admit things looking much better now with the adjusted structures/clocks. Hope the good trend continuous and you add more and more tournaments to the schedule.

P.S You know my opinion about the 2-day events but just one more time - YES, DO IT!!!

In love w/ this new schedule. You're doing great work Pads/Party, keep it up, please!

so many good tourneys but all 6max

Agree with the reduced clocks schedule is playable. Now i changed my opinion and the schedule planner should be Pads and Florian"Florianger" together.

I don't really understand, now on Tuesday you offer basically just fast/turbos format for low/mid stakes
Why no more variety?

Allways wondering, why in online Poker there is not such thing as a dinner break. For example every 6 hours 15 minutes break instead of 5. Now as almost every tournament lasts the whole day, maybe something like this would be worth to think about. Assuming almost noone prefers to play nonstop 10h+ sessions.

Found that the KO Monday Main Events 6max w 12min levels took too long.

FTs wont be reached after 8h, possibly (close to) 9h of play.

Would like to see 10min levels throughout or at least for the first 20 levels or so.

These mtts should be close to finishing up, not an hour away from only getting to the FT.

I really like your site. I play most of my volume now on Party. I also like the Live stops you created and how aggresive you're pushing the guarantees on them and the Powerfest series.

But some software updates would be nice.

I just checked and Patrick asked on this forum in april 2016! to PM him software fixes and most still aren't done.

I don't know who is in charge, because I asked for something trivial like getting yellow back as a colornote(that got approved by Patrick), which should take like 1 second to implement. But I feel like it's gonna take a month and me asking 3 times(how i felt posting in starstopic lol). At the start here it was just a couple of us and Collete and she seemed to be able to pull some strings. But anyway I'll post my ideas once more and hope for the best. People can add what they think; might forget a bunch.

1) I hope that after that servercrash; you've been working on a better system in case this happens again. Be able to pause the tournament immediatly and get an algorithm to do the calculations and email people how it's done and what their stack was.

2) Please the handhistories. Just revamp it
2.1) You can't see your hands when you move tables
2.2) If you click the HH box. You see the handnumber and not what your hand was; so your continously searching for the right HH.
2.3) If you bust you can't access your HHs anymore
2.4) Make people railing be able to see the HHs for a better railing experience.
2.5) While you're at it; add something like BOOMplayer.

3) Could you pleas at your table move the buy-in to the front. After that I don't care if you call the tournament Smooth Super Sunday Big Bounty Hunter HR Extravaganza Special Deluxe. But it's so tough too see what tournament you're playing esp if you keep some of them stacked.

4) On the topic of playing stacked. If just want to keep them stacked, not a stacking console(they resize and move to a different place if you click this button also). Would be nice to give an option to just stack the tables.
4.1) While playing stacked; seems to happen the most when i close the action. I defend my bb for example. I move to another table where I've the action and then suddenly the other tables pops over it again. That shouldn't happen. I think it happens @ least 10 times per session.

5) Sometimes my tables don't open when i've them registrered. And sometimes the client just crashes on me. Might be my problems, but just throwing it out there if it happens to more people. (doesn't happen on other sites)

6) I can't see anymore how many seconds somebodies timebank is. Only a full timer that's starts running at some unknown point.

7) Better filters for the lobby. Not only Low/Medium/High. But specific inputs would be nice. I want to play some 55s since they are part of the leaderboard now, but then I get so see a bunch more lower stuff
7.1) Better colors for the lobbies. These are really bad I feel at least. Or give me the option to customize myself.

8) a search function would be a nice addition.

Furthermore I like the structures, please don't shorten them. Finally a place where you can play some poker instead of the shovefests on Stars(bar a couple tournaments).

Thanks

Copy Paste habit.....who cares about off peak in the UK ?

At least now all the off peak tourneys 2.2/11 are playable so the most important is reached. The kick off has been down from 16min to 10 for low stakes, well done as well !

+1 for more clearness in the lobby. There are way too many awkward entries that are useless and create confusion. Give the possibility to clearly identify MTTs with a guaranteed prizepool by color-coding properly and/or giving proper filtering options.

There is no "scam"
It clearly states under Read More in the lobby the ticket winners will be auto feed into the next available event

Also the name of the event states it is a feeder event - WSOP-C Rozvadoz Mini Feeder

Okay, then its likely question for BWIN REP .. because in lobby it looks like this :

And even during satellite running when i clicked on btn: Target event there opened a lobby with satellite which starts at 7.00 CET ( not that one which was already running)
So maybe you have there message that there is feeder into next one... but i dont understand why this is happening that if i click on target event there is event at 7 pm and then suddenly i got into earlier one.

I wouldn't reg that 8$ sat if i knew that i will be sit down with 10bbs into 44$

Edit: And there is pretty much basic logic behind that : If you click on btn TARGET event and lobby open for tournament which starts at 7pm .. It's really hard to expect that you wont be seated into that TARGET event but to another sat

Sorry, but I agree with the player. "Next" implies the next event not currently running.

Example: Today is Tuesday 13 March. If I make an appointment for "NEXT" wednesday, what would the date be?

**hint: it would NOT be 14 March**

+1, SATS TEAM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP!!!

is it possible to request tournament summaries, or in some other way see nationality of the players in a finished tournament?

2) Please the handhistories. Just revamp it
2.1) You can't see your hands when you move tables
2.2) If you click the HH box. You see the handnumber and not what your hand was; so your continously searching for the right HH.
2.3) If you bust you can't access your HHs anymore
2.4) Make people railing be able to see the HHs for a better railing experience.
2.5) While you're at it; add something like BOOMplayer.


Plus 1. I really don't like this monster.
2.6) to me it is random where I get seated in the replayer
2.7) don't see notes, cant add notes
2.8) with a re-entry I loose last table
2.9) can't rail hands after I bust to see what villains do in later hands

Just played a tournament again, can see there have been software changes, but this area is very weak at best

I think "Smooth" is just another word for Ultra-Marathon. 8 hours for a supposed turbo with 5min levels is insane.

But I have to say if you reduce the tournament lengths and start to fill the :30 slots the schedule would be pretty nice

IMO, I can understand where both the players above are coming from (I also tend to agree with them) and feel that, these are both valid points that PP should really look at taking on board.

I myself would only ever enter a satellite to an event already running, if the satellite was something similar to a 'Last chance satellite' that was attached to some type of Main Event. Even then, those satellites are usually set-up in such a way that when the satellite finishes, you still have a decent playable starting stack in comparison to the rest of the field (due to the blind structure and timing of various things, such as exactly when each satellite takes place etc...).

I certainly wouldn't consider entering a satellite that fed into yet another satellite that, had been running for any substantial period of time and left me with very few blinds to play with. IMO, doing so would pretty much be a waste of time and equate to flushing your buy-in down the toilet.

If satellites (whether there 'feeders' or otherwise) are indeed being set-up in the way described by OP, then I think PP need to make adjustments to the timing of when each of these events take place or at the very least, stipulate 'exactly' which event the current satellite feeds into so, players can make informed decisions on whether or not to take part and get a fair crack at things.

For the record "Ticket winners will be automatically registered into the 'NEXT' feeder" say's to me that, I will be registered for an 'upcoming' feeder, not a feeder that's already started or running for any period of time whilst the current feeder is still playing out.

To me, it means, 'next to start - AFTER this current one has finsihed'.
