Why are you looking at your 109$ tournament? The problem lies with the 22$ and lower stuff. It's fine to have good structures when playing for a ****load of money, it sucks to be 27 left at 3:23am in a 5$ tournament that's been going for 6 hours. The next person to bust will win 22.92$. I will admit the problems aren't as big during weekdays with smaller fields but come on. Someone who just clicked a 5$ tournament to have some fun on a mondaynight may now sit for 4-6 hours and cash between 0 and 4 buyins. That's not a happy experience. At least if you cash for 400$ in a 109 you made more than minimum wage.

exactly this. pads you are missing the problem.

Its 315am uK right now, all the low stakes stuff is still running.
- 6pm Bounty still has 8 runners
- 7pm ME Low has 7 runners
- 8pm low major has 13 runners
- 9pm fast, 2 left and will likely finish before the others.

I doubt any of the first 3 finish before 415am. For bowl comps this is overkill. They run an hour too long, at least.

Anything with good payouts in the top 5 positions can finish as late as you like.

This Pads guy is awesome .First it was pathetic but now i can smile it is a comedy . Everything that Soepgroente say . Pads build the schedule for us but im not sure he is clicked ever on the buy -in range tab medium and low .

Everybody agrees, but THEY CAN T READ OR MORE LIKELEY DON T WANT TO LISTEN. around 30 posts saying 1-22$ is priority to change to 8-10-12 (like bfr haha another turn back)

You start to have overlay in half of the low buy ins now. Recs are already bored to play that long

Was making a note of the upcoming KO series MTT's I wan't to play in the schedule and am puzzled by something...

I know what fast, slow, turbo, 6-max etc..are all about but, WTF is [smooth] all about?!

Have never seen a [smooth] labelled MTT before now and on first glance it looks like any other regular MTT.

Can someone please enlighten me?

it s new concept :P

4PM : register
4.30PM : double up
5PM : pick up the kids at school
5.30PM : buy groceries
6PM : start to cook dinner
7PM : eat dinner
8PM : go back to the tourney , HEY YOU STILL HAVE 100bb :P !!!

Party poker targets a new market, the single parents

hahahaha

Also be sure to sell action beforehand for the full Phil Hellmuth effect

Btw glad to see satellites for next week and are up and running quite well.

Guys, again, please wait till March 5th before the tirade of comments, its still a couple of weeks away. Have trust until then and then slaughter me.

Remember that I've taken every single tournament out to restructure the whole tournament schedule. It is not complete yet, we're dripping in tournaments for data and will be fully complete with tonnes of tournaments that finish in reasonable time.

In terms of people evaluating vs stars and saying $109s should finish after $22s etc, stars 215 finished 5:20am yesterday and the $22 finished at 7am.

There will be adjustments made to the schedule and structure, I believe the final product is going to be very, very sick and I believe in it, but please just don't rant about the clocks right now, there are brands that haven't even been implemented yet that should be there by March 5th.

Have fait this time!

Hey Pads, could u comment on the fact that you beeing one of the owners of the biggest, or one of the biggest, stables in the world, now have access to a gigantic amount of information about player tendencies and stuff like that. We obviously dont know , but i assume if u want you could easitly gain access to all the player data regarding population tendencies e.g. flop fold%, turn 2nd barrel, bb 3bet% etc pp. I just feel this is a bit weird and what stops u from using this information for your stable?

Im pretty sure ure not doing this, or you might not even have access to this kind of data, but still, to me there is a grain of salt.

Anyways, thx for your good work regarding the new structures and all. Keep it up

Check previous thread or maybe first page on this one. He's commented on this issue once, twice maybe 400 times.

No time to check 17 or more Pages and read every comment.. Can u link me to the response? Thx!

Hi, sorry not sure what you are suggesting.. That the second biggest poker site in world is committing huge fraud and supplying player data and information with somebody because they help make a logical schedule? You are correct in assuming "pretty sure you're not doing this".

That's fine, but this is once again a 180° turn from your previous post addressing comments saying "everything seems fine to me". It's things like these that makes the decision making at party poker seem schizophrenic from day to day, even though I (and I think most people here) like the general direction things are going in the broader picture.

I'm still hoping someone will actually be able to tell me what a [Smooth] labelled MTT is, that can be found in the upcoming KO series...

It's a serious question as, I have no idea what it is or what it means in relation/comparison to other MTT's such as slow, fast. turbo, 6 max etc...

I think I've mentioned throughout we will add more games and optimise clocks.

Will be working close with the schedule over the next weeks, there is big KO series next week that I'm not working closely with, so I'll let you guys enjoy that and see you just before March 5th!

So anyone else noticing some newish russian accounts that play like they're running a sim? Just midstakes and below. Same thing happened on sit and go hero a while back - gradual influx of solid playing accounts.

Wrong....still the same absurd step1/2/3/4 till u get a ticket to a 215$ event
what we request all is

a 2.2$ sat for DIRECT ACCESS to a 22$ event (or22T$ same thing)
a 5.5 sat for DIRECT ACCESS to a 55$ event (or55T$)
a 11$ sat for DIRECT ACCESS to a 109$ event (or109T$)
a 22$ sat for DIRECT ACCESS to a 215$ event (or215T$)

It s hilarious the T$ is still in the lobby for 2 years and no T$ are given for ages helloooooo

Not true...T$ are still being given and used to this very day. I've been given T$ on a couple of occasions over the last few weeks, currently have T$ in my account and have been using T$ to register for MTT's...

Won't derail the thread with this but all im noticing is a guy down $1k or $2k at an ABI <10 is minraising pre and correctly cbetting like 24-27% on dry ace high flops etc....


Just keep an eye out for funny stuff from 5th March onwards

I'd agree it could be handled better though - for powerfest you could win a $5k ticket and have to wait 3 weeks for it to be converted into tournament dollars... a point that's buried in the terms and conditions.

I assume the whole thing is being overhauled once the live tournament dollars are implemented

hello,
excuse me for my still bad english.

the guys who speak here always ab the blindlevel for micros are to Long etc.-
- this is in my eyes very...i miss the english word for it...i call it now "ignorant" ...
...you are Players who Play bigger buy ins...and the micros for fun...(this is my thinking)...but there are Players who dont want or can Play as Standard 11 22 or 55 buy ins...they Play 1, 2 or 5...and maybe at the Weekend a 11 or 22...so what i mean is they should have the same rights for skill tournaments- what they now have-and thats good!!

one Thing to this and the (my,lol) 8max/9handed question...-the Long tournaments ( i always/mostly speak ab 1-11 buy ins) are good BUT its true they are loooong.

here we come again to the 9handed/8max Thing: a Long tournament is good and nice but with 8max Format you must always have your eyes at the table..no time for things like going to the kitchen for a Cola etc...and THIS over MANY hours...eyes on the computer-permanent Action. with 9 handed it would be much more relaxt and compatible with the 12min and 16min structure...8max is a good Thing yes-but only for Turbos till 8min. blinds

you are the specialist yes- this is only my thinking. and this is no attack ok!!!

btw.- for this small pocket Players partypoker should bring sattelites for 11,22,55...this is normaly a must be at a site like partypoker!and People asking for it a lot

best wishes

Please never change <3

This made me LOL and is the best reason for wanting a change that i've come across in the thread thus far

That excuse is bull****. Party sharing their hhs isnt a fraud if you are working with their security department. YOU taking their hhs for your personal advantage is a fraud. I dont want to throw oil into the fire but wtf is this response
