Do you really expect Pads to directly respond to every question and criticism in this thread? Hes the most involved rep of any poker site on 2p2 and is a great liaison between the players and party poker management.

Dude you are just beyond insufferable to read, please just leave these forums you arent a valued member here. If you want someone to complain about for being lazy go visit luke in the pokerstars mtt thread.

I will say that dachimp is not the worst of the bunch but I will agree that bashing reps of the one and only sire actually trying to give people a better product in 2018 is ridiculously stupid behavior. Go lick Luke’s balls if this is your honest response

Blakk I have (had) respect for you, but you and fml can lick lead paint for all I care.

I asked, as have others, legit Qs that were merely blown off as same old *****.

Obv both of you have reading comprehension issues as I have given Patrick props. But Im fair and firm, not easily detracted by shiny things.

I understand he is busy, but do not come in here and blow off legit questions. Hell, dont mention previous posts at all. Have Collette answer them. I dont care... I care about blowing off customers legit questions.

IRL If any customer facing rep does this, they (and the company) will receive more than just a 2p2 rant.

Pads, please keep up the great work. But expect customers to continue to give feedback and ask questions... its part of the territory.

The sooner you realize you arent special to pads and party management the better off you'll be. You are just one of the many low stakes scrubs in here who is overly loud and obnoxious without actually posting anything of substance or value. Keep posting away dachimp, but no need to get all upset when you don't get a special, personalized response by your poker idol Pads

u see i did say this to start my post i m generally saying that in ayn walk of life if u want other people who dont owe you anythign to do something for you u will be much better off rpesenting your points in a manner thats constructive is all. and by you i mean everybody posting feedback here. this is literally the one point i wanna get across that seems to fall on deaf ears in this thread over and over

Regarding the 6 max PSKOs:
I think they're great but don't really understand the argument that the pko format needs to be fast AND 6-max or why this type of structure is the future for the KO format. IMO they play fine 8/9 handed and given how much 6-max there is all of a sudden anyways really don't see the need to make virtually all PKOs 6-max aswell.

On a sidenote the new timebank is terrible and it would be great if this was sorted asap so we can actually see how much time we have left

Any chance of bringing back the old 109 100k tuesdays/thursday uppercut specials that you guys ran few months back for awhile? These 215 100ks have been performing very well but a little something special couple times a week to spice up the daily 109 50k to 80-100k gtd would compliment the new schedule quite nicely and dont think it would be cannibalizing the flagship 215s.

Stars are upping the rake under 20$ next monday.
Make a special week where every tornament upto 11$ have 0$ rake? Will cost you a lot less than overlays u take in huge tornaments.
Spread the word NO RAKE IS BETTER


I do not play any tornaments under 22$ on partypoker, so dont read this as i'm thinking only about myself, please.

Hey guys,

Relax and don't argue with each other, you're all on the same side

I just meant I'm trying to relay important updates as and when I can and instead of quoting 10 messages about satellites can just give an update instead. I actually was going to quote dachimp but he was saying how much he was loving the site or something to that effect and I didn't want it to look like "quoting only the good messages"

Some member in the thread was asking 2p2 to ban me for not replying to every message and just didn't want my post to be a post and not reply to anybody and not explain why.

I'll purposely go through every unanswered message now but lot of it is repetitive or in the wrong thread etc, but if thats what the people want... Definitely don't want you guys to argue/be negative to each other, like I always say, I was on your side of the fence once, fighting wars with reps/other players/mods etc, its a lot more effective if you're all on the same page.

Hey, I understand your opinion/preference, right now we're going to stick with this way, but I understand why it doesn't feel "special" to you anymore. For a recreational playing 2-3x/week it will feel v special still. No offence but catering to you or I for this isn't necessary the desired reason.

I think 100k is easier to work out generally than 50k, its a little smoother too.

I think the 100k works pretty well, but agree it can get stupid if keep increasing. No more increases!


Hey, please post in the internet poker thread or ask support. I can't help with this unfortunately.

Smooth structures generally mean a lower increase in CPR (cost per round) the blinds jump up quicker but in far smaller incrementals. we will mix between 50bb and 100bb starting stacks. I think every tournament should be like this ideally, why have 10 minutes and 500/1k, 600/1.2, 800/1600 when you can have 6 minutes and 500/1k, 550/1.1k, etc? Live I get it, but this is online.

Hi, nothing announced yet, but I believe there will be a leaderboard yes. When have info will post it.

Yeah, hence the name "smooth" as the increases are less.




Hey, there will be a new approach to satellites focused on optimisation. Should see this shortly. Satellites are a very important part of our model if we want it to be successful.

Hey there is a 11am every day (the early grind) $2.20, $11, $55

Go your side.

The 6max games are generally spread out decently well. 5pm, 7pm, 9pm, in-between you have normal games, or bounty hunters, afterwards turbos etc. I think these days have actually been pretty successful so far and the "normal" games also flourish. I think the $109 yesterday had 600 runners at 6pm, we never used to get 3-400 not long ago in the same tournament.

Things aren't really supposed to trick you at all, everything is pretty clearly labelled. Of course you are welcome to register click click on 888 rather than pp, there will always be people who prefer a schedule more on one site than another. We do our best to get large amount of runners in tournaments and to make our site bigger and bigger each week, we're confident in our approach but also understanding it won't be 100% of players cup of tea and then there is competition. There should never be a monopoly of poker sites, everybody should be trying new innovative things and attracting all sorts of different players. I'm sure there are loyal players on stars, 888 and party who only want to play on that one site, our goal is to bring over as many people as possible to try party and hopefully enjoy it and stay.

Hey, this is only for MTTs, please post in the internet poker thread and the team will help you, they likely know the answer already to most questions like me over here with MTTs. Hope you don't think this is me shrugging you off and if you don't get a satisfactory answer dm me and I'll investigate little further.

There is $55 at 11am. I think a 109 soon would be good too. Lets see.

The plan is to just add for a little variety, we definitely want rebuys to be part of a long term plan for the site.

I believe so, no 4max for you Jambo amigo unfortunately, when the site is bigger and can support daily big 4max tournaments I would be very happy! 2P2 might break my neck for another short handed tournament though!

Not sure what to respond without sounding sarcastic. Your feedback is genuinely listened to as everybody's is. Almost every change that has been asked for on this thread has either directly been changed, is in the process of being changed or been explained why it won't be changed. I try to be the most active "rep" on here and be as reactive to peoples comments as I can.

#dontbanpads would be my advice, I'm trying my best for everybody here.

Yeh, we we're thinking about changing the name to FASTER from FAST, what do you think?

Numbers were great, Sunday was great.

Thanks amigo.

FBI Howard.



1- I genuinely don't know yet.

2- We can if there is a demand, I think right now 2-7 tournaments probably shouldnt be the priority, in a longer term vision sure

3- I can't do this, I'm unsure if Colette can. I'm sure she will let you know.

I won't take credit for these! But the live team are amazing and do great job imo.

We experimented with different buy in amounts for this series. Lets see how it does.

There will be a new approach to sats, will see from Sunday. It literally had progress since I last replied about sats before I even posted this

Again, won't matter anymore moving forward.


The feedback for these days have been really popular so far. We actually took data analysing 6max vs normal PKOs during lot of different series and even at the lower buy ins the 6max PKO games are very popular, which is actually common sense now we think about it. PKO games are supposed to be about gambling, action etc, why should they ever be 9 handed except for the fact that regs can't multi table a lot of them, I think catering for the amateur player is good as long as its not OTT like 4 max. Lets see how the feedback is for them over the next month or so. What themes would you have instead of 6max nights? Its important for our methodology to have a theme every night, if we can think of something new then I would be more than happy to entertain it. But just saying don't do 6max, do 8max instead I can't do much with.

Yep, lets see.

Not all PKOs are 6max. We have daily Bounty Hunters that are 8 handed and very popular and important to our schedule. I think in general for amateur players who are attracted to PKO's it needs to be fast action, lots of chances for getting knockouts and fun.

Its tough because the schedule is so big right now, but the goal is to have these 109 100ks for sure. Powerfest has just been created and theres some monster monster guarantees, we can start to drip into the normal schedule soon too.

I shouldn't really comment on that change.

53 minutes, I <3 you all! Good night guys.

Can you please comment on whether 8-10-12 minute blind structures (which at least 5 different people have mentioned) will be implemented in the near future? The biggest issue on the site is the length of time it takes to get ITM yet this has not really been addressed.

you dint answer my questions
im gona try it again:

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 what is the reasoning for structure being the way it is (for feeders/sats) and would this be changed for next live stops/online milions and we will have normal sats structure or this will continue to be as it is???
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)




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


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 )

Thx man. I know you're taking on a lot to make Party better, definitely not a small task.

I, like others, occasionally feel frustration but WE (poker community) should not attack or troll but rather try to be constructive... Frustration is a common emotion during change (read any book on Change Management). So I apologize to the thread for any negativity I've expressed, even toward the FML troll account.

Im looking forward to the satellite changes and the updated PowerFest schedule.

Is there any market for the 1r1a format to make a comeback? The 11 and 8 1R1A tournys on stars before they broke the schedule were must plays for me.

These points/requests need to be posted in the other 'general' PP thread.

We we're reminded recently that, this thread deals with things to do with the MTT schedule only and anything that isn't to do with the MTT schedule needs to be addressed in the other thread.

Pad's deals with the MTT schedule in this thread and Colette deals with pretty much 'everything else' in the other thread.

Other PP thread can be found here: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...index1388.html

1 - What? well 10k is smooth also.

2 - The jumps in buy in's are still way too big.

3 - Why must every tournament have a big field?

4 - You talk like party are just a start up company with 1k players on the site, why not remove one of the repetitive tournaments and try this, again why does every tourney need to be a "special" with a ton of runners. I am also very sure that 180 mans would be a hit.

5 - Tourneys are def taking too long to reach itm.

6 - Yeah these look good, thanks, hopefully we can see some of these in the daily sched.

7 - So why do you need a theme every night? Make a 4-max night if so or maybe heads up.

How about a 7max theme night. Don't think any site has ever had 7max.
Tables would be symmetrical around the centre seat too, what's not to like.

Our Monster Series roars into action 29th April - 6th May

With $2.7 Million GTD across various events and buys in suitable for all, it's certainly going to be one for your poker diary!!

Cant wait to grind party all summer long one my degree is out of the way! Some great work from Pads, Colette et al

Hopefully by summer all the creases will be ironed out and I will be able to grow a bankroll on a site that shows loyalty and shows that customers are at the fore-front unlike other sites that I won't name!

ROLL ON THE SUMMER!

Gg m8, gg

Different buy ins looks fine but you missed the main question, why there is no single PLO or PLO8 tournament in your second series in a row?

Why you dont have any weekly PLO/PLO8 specials?
Why you dont have any PKO PLO/PLO8 tournaments, you can at least make some of them PKO on your PKO days.

What makes you guys think that all those 6max wouldnt perform better as 8handed tournaments?

I ask that because there are a few tournaments i dont play at ur site everyday cause of them beeing 6max (way tougher to multi table) and most of ur pool come from guys that multi tabble...

One freezeout in the morning schedule really doesn't feel like enough, I appreciate you've added the 11am Early Grind with 2/11/55, how about a 1/5.5/22 at 9am "Rise and Grind"?

The Monster Series schedule is the nuts!!! Very much looking forward to playing
