As others have said perhaps you're not as good at MTT offering as you think you are. You run a good stable, you're a very capable player but perhaps the running of a schedule isn't for you. Perhaps you should step aside.

It seems to me that PSBryan was run off the site as Party objected to his satellite program which is the core of any great series.

Question to users:

Would you prefer PSBryan running the MTT schedule or Pads?
Jesus. I think these posts are a little unhelpful but it says a lot about how dumb the leaderboard is (three million btw) when participants are calling for resignations.

4am tournaments included? Check. Buy-ins up to $5k? Check. Virtually 0% chance for a rec to prevail? You betcha.

It's irrelevant who players would prefer to see running the MTT schedule, whether it be PSBryan (who for the record, I held in high regard) or anyone else. The fact of the matter is that, Patrick is currently in charge and although some may not like that fact for various reasons, it is what it is and unlikely to change anytime soon.

I think we'd be better served focusing on how best to get our ideas for change across to Pad's in a way that, he's more likely to take them on board and implement them, rather than waste our time talking about who else we'd like to see running the schedule - especially considering PSBryan isn't even an option (he's been, gone and there's pretty much 0% chance of him returning).

Can you leave some of the off peak ones at 12 minute blinds please. Every single mtt after the peak ones seem very fast. Theres plenty of players from Canada, Oceania/ Asia/Russians that want to be able to play some proper structured mtts at the off peak times.

I think 10 minutes blinds with 2 hours of late reg are the sweet spot.
12 min feels generally too slow and 8 minutes feels fast + less time-bank and less time to act.

Sorry dude not possible, all tournaments at a certain time needs to have the same structure.
Dont forget rule number 2: NL tournament starting time is always on the hour mark!

Having a leaderboard that only includes certain MTT's running during a certain time of the day would restrict a number of players from taking part. It's important to remember that, PP is a worldwide site and 4am could in fact be 4pm depending on a players country and timezone.

For example: A chunk of what Pad's considers to be the current MTT schedule's 'Peak' time and when most good MTT's are running, is actually my 'off peak' time and when most people are fast asleep in my country (hence my wanting some 'decent off peak' MTT's to play - when I actually have my eyes open).

Sorry should have specified I've always been pro unrestricted leaderboards as regards time - but they should be done in 24hr segments or less. Party itself has run 4hr leaderboards for SNGs that were fantastic - regs played a ton but recreationals could also win. It also gives players with weak ROIs in the high-rollers etc. a decent shot

Btw its interesting that the satellite team also converted many tournaments to 6max even though it's run independently of the MTT team. Presumably means 6max is proving quite popular.

This. I'm a rec playing a limited amount of tournaments per week. How do I stand a chance against the grinders ?

As it is, this leaderboard will likely pay the same people over and over. And it would be okay for a normal leaderboard, but it's weird when this promotion is supposed to spread tickets to a tournament that is likely to overlay.

IMO the leaderboards should only take into account the top 10 results in a week for the weekly, top 20-30 in a month for the monthly. This would give everyone a chance.

Thanks everybody for such an amazing performance again.

Some examples of how our numbers have improved due to decannabalisation.

9pm - $55 - 400 runners

9pm $11 - 1000 runners

9pm $2.2 - 1250 runners

9pm 215 - 170 runners

Last week they were 10k/5k/1k, this week we got to 20k/10k/2k.

Our main events

$215 - 485 runners
$55 - 982 runners
$11 - 2280 runners
$2.20 - 2789 runners
$1050 - 106 runners!

Fields are just amazing and over performing even vs our initial positive expectations.

Can this keep up?? I don't know but we are ecstatic here.

I spoke to satellite team who apparently revamping and changing the satellite system in the near future, next week agreed to sit down with PLO team and make exciting schedule with daily special tournaments and buy ins from $0-$1050, I expect to make the $5k PLO $10k from Monday.

Remember tomorrow is Super Sunday and some of the biggest prize pools we could imagine.

Enjoy.

Smooth saturday kickoff seems like a tournament to skip currently, not ft yet and running 11 hours.

Can tech team fix the mac issue of when table pops up and its ur turn to act the table doesnt stay in focus if ur multi tabling, as other tables will pop up in front if you have tables stacked or overlapping.

+1 too much 6 max, a bit less please
+1 to sat ticket expiry situation

Did you consider having a tlb like stars for monthly and yearly?

1. Low stakes nightmare goes on :

Smooth Saturday early 2pmCET 11$ : 8h16
Smooth Saturday early 2pmCET 2.2$ : 9h15

Smooth Saturday KICK OFF 4pmCET 11$ : 14hrs !!!!
Smooth Saturday KICK OFF 4pmCET 2.2$ : 14hrs10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smooth Saturday WARM UP 6pmCET 11$ : 10hrs23
Smooth Saturday WARM UP 6pmCET 2.2$ : 9hrs49

Smooth Saturday MAIN 8pmCET 11$ : 9hrs53

Smooth Saturday 2ndCh 10pmCET 11$ 7hrs02
Smooth Saturday 2ndCh 10pmCET 2.2$ : 6hrs48

Seeing the tricky structure i didn t play any. It was easy to see it was a fake 7/10/7/7/5mins scenario because the blinds almost don t increase from a level to another.
So #smooth# is more like a 14/20/14/14/14mins schedule, even at low stakes

I m sorry again but it s unhealthy, tilting, and boring. The only one that seems playable is the last one that lasted 7hrs with about 1000players in.

2. Besides :

Monday : KO DAY
Tuesday : NORMAL
Wednesday : 6-MAX
Thursday : NORMAL
Friday : KO DAY
Saturday : KO DAY (tricky tricky play smooth but it s KO)
Sunday : KO DAY ? or just this week because the crash ???

Adding the bounty hunter standard (fast are good-turbos are just ok) to play all day long, it s a 70% bounty oriented program with still relatively long clocks for that format at peak time. I m scratching my head.

Anything in the loop ?

Indeed, as i can t launch any low tourney anymore !
And the irony of everything is that i made 1000$ this week, doubled the bankroll. But not because i m good , mainly because the sats were so badly imagined the tickets were almost given away with 40% overlay ( Still have 2 to use tonight for the huge 1M GTD 3am)
Then a good run in a 109$ and here we go.

It doesn t mean it s great, was just at the good place the right time, but as Pad s says they already give up these sats that way because it s rertaded to pay so much overlay every single hour.

All what I and other ask is a normal sat schedule , and not being forced to play 109$and215$ vs a better field each time i qualify. tickets for 22$ and 55$ would be enough

I want to complain since i was bit of scammed by party poker. I played 8$ subsatellite to 44$ for WSOPC in rozvadov .. there was literally written that target tournament start at 19:00 CET 44$ satellite to 215$... But after finishing that 8$ i was directly seated to 44$ which started at 17:00 with 10bbs in the end of latereg. So what the ... is this supposed to mean ? Another great party scam feature.. Instead of having chance to play i was seated to gamble lottery for 10bbs...

So i'd like to hear any explanation why this happened!

why are some mtts capped with players ? i mean you gtd 20k and only 5k can register for 2.20$ buyin, thats make no sense because you overlay 10k

also the 50k gtd 11$ Bounty was capped to 5k players

I would just comment that most of the pros play pretty good volume and are very active on the site and you can play every night against a lot of them at most stake levels.

In terms of software, of course I try my very best to help there. Before every new release I try it out, report all bugs I can find, give my strong suggestions on how to improve everything, every night theres a problem I will report it. A lot of the other pros doing the same, trust me everybody in the company wants the software to be as good as possible as soon as possible.
^this
i was refering to this in context of investing $$ into software>>>>> the sponsoring anyone and having ****y software

you dint answer the question about satellite/feeders structures (109$=> barsa 1k) i post about this issue couple of times and no one has answered it yet
while we are at satellites i think is prety good/cool idea to make it some kind of ko/pko=>when sat finish all players left win their own bounty $$$ they have on their head atm the sat finish (this will help with collusion/team/soft play issues)

how can u do this in party caption????? idk why is not working for me?
i have it clicked like this

You can see that everybody has basically killed rebuys on all sites, my favourite tournaments were always rebuys, I would rebuy, gamble, play -ev to have a bit of fun, but unfortunately its 2018, regs want to keep their edge and thus it doesn't work as a format. When I first signed a deal with partypoker one of the conditions was they had to try $22/$109r tournaments to make them successful, people just always late reg + addon and the bosses still give me fun stick about it to this day!
why dont you try NOT TO RAKE rebuys and add ons and make rebuy period to last 2x times longer then late reg (for ex 1-1.5hour late reg 2-3hours rebuy period) i am prety confident this format will be popular

x x x

about notes=> can you make it to auto save what you type so we dont need to click save all the time (i have it covered with hud so i need to turn hud off on the table in order to save note)

about table background/table felt=> can we have option to have/change different table backrground or felt w/e for different MTT type

filters for MTT buy in amount in lobby (as you have for sng) => i really would like to have buy in filters ASAP so i wont by mistake reg 5k or 1k

about rake back points => i think is very reasonable to change the timing when points start/end counting to smth like 6am-8am CET time Monday (this is very important for MTT players )
