The Monster Series schedule is very disappointing w/o any PLO / PLO8 / Stud

Hi guys, tomorrow I'm going to post one of the most exciting things I've had to post on this thread, big big news. Hopefully not overselling it and hope you guys will like it as much as myself. Check back here tomorrow and I'll hopefully have dropped it.


Hey, again, most of these points are for the internet poker board thread, notes/etc.

I'm not sure, I think we generally go with 100bb starting stacks and make the tournament feel playable in terms of lots of action always rather than getting heaps of chips. In the main schedule I don't really see the possibility of 1r1a for the moment.

my man.


hah I've never thought of that before, I guess it just isn't really different too much from 8/7 handed and tech are probably better spending their time on the current client/table. New software releases will be coming soon!

There is plans for full new PLO schedule/emphasis on different game than NL, tomorrows news has been in the works for a while, I think this will be the next bigger thing.

It's not that 8 max is more popular or less popular than 6 max, its about making each day feel different to the day before. I think it does a great job of this. Players have really supported. Today is a Wednesday and there was over 500 runners in the 215. After tomorrows news this should increase even further.

The early schedule will continued to be improved and monitored.

ok i post in other thread (i had also post same post 1-2 times before there too)

btw if this thread is only mtts you should rename it to MTT and other threat SOFTWARE like stars threads are

This thread literally has MTT in its title ???

hey re8uz mate, you should sleep at night instead of posting

With the news that stars are increasing rake on $22 and under MTT's, surely this presents an opportunity for Party to attract attract some players over from PS with some sort of promotion/advertisement?

James Ward-Prowse has started eating weetabix for breakfast which makes him a certainty to be in the team at the World Cup.

Not overselling it at all

I have been negative in this thread before but I will say that the schedule you got now looks quite impressive, the only thing lacking is the players I guess, but in time they will come, maybe especially now that amaya crapped the bed once again

I still don't like that the lobby sizing is not customizable, for example in windows 7 if you put almost any window to the side of the screen, it will automatically be half-full screen if you know what I mean.. Doesn't work with PP lobby.
It's not a big thing maybe but still annoying

Also the filters doesn't work properly.. I excluded all PSKOs in the schedule (because FU to those) but I can still see the PSKOs that have re-entry, don't know how to remove them.

Also this rakeback system you got.. Is it possible to let players choose if they want it weekly or monthly or something?
Some weeks I don't have time/energy to put in too much volume and I get 0 rakeback for the few tournaments I played during that week.

Also probably not a big thing and probably wont get changed but it's the small things that make the big picture perfect imo

Can you please answer whether there are any plans to implement the 8-10-12 structure

Yes it has but when i read titles of threads

Official partypoker/bwin Thread

And

Official partypoker/bwin 2.0 MTT Discussion Thread

My understanding from titles is that 2.0 is same as first + discusion about new MTT schedule , not that this thread is only for mtts and other is for other issues/software i am pretty sure others think the same too thats why they are a ton of posts about software issues here

Re8uZ,

*actually concur with blakkman (facepalm)*

Its all good. Do you understand now though? Feel free to PM just about any person here and we can assist you. Good luck!

Re8uz has a good point actually. Pads heads the MTT team, but now we know there's a separate team for satellites and another team for PLO tournaments. Maybe leaderboard has its own team that's a part of marketing? Would be nice if some of the other teams dropped in on the thread.

Confused, all the live chat talks about is that they are sorry about the outage and are refunding my money -- I was just pointing out an error in a running tournament right after I busted -- anybody had outages about 45 minutes ago ?

Hey Pads really like the new schedule and started playing at Partypoker a few days ago.
Still have to play 80% of my schedule at Stars as a sng-satellite player, i know its the wrong thread but maybe there will be some sng-sattelites at party in the near future? especially those sngregs got fcked the most by the rakebackchanges and i think a lot of them would play a decent portion of their volume at party.

To the Mtt-schedule i think its a good mix but one format i am missing what about 6Max-Hyperturbo-MTTs? I think they would fit in very good after the turbos(00:00-02:00CET) and in the early one(13:00-17:00CET)

Regs like to add them in their schedule but i think they are also a good thing for recs as they dont want to play for 5hours+ everytime sometimes they just want to play 1hour max. some action packed hypers

Keep up the good work,
D.

Some software stuff that defo needs correcting imo.

Blinds still being left in front of players right until the end of a hand, instead of being added to the pot of chips before any flop. Same as the chips left over in a hand say when someone shoves a bigger stack over someone all in, then when everyone else folds and it's a HU AIPF, the deficit chips that he should drag back before any flop is dealt, they're currently still on the table confusing the **** out of your vision til the end of the hand.

Also flops are dealt far too fast, smashed to the table in 0.00000000000001 secs after hands have been turned over. I don't mind how fast flop, turn and river come out, I like that to be fast, but a split second or two to at least see wtf we both have before the cards are dealt and I'm violently booted out the casino and have to look at the replayer to see wtf just happened...would be nice.

Chat box should be coloured text for players instead of same colour as all other text. The amount of chat that could get missed cuz it didn't catch your eye sucks.

100k starting stacks are stupid, it just confuses things even more when multi-siting on other sites which start with a more normal 10k stack, I mean in real casinos that massive starting stack is only really reserved for high rollers.

Hey,

Firstly, we changed some more clocks, the Main Event went from 14 to 12 minute clock and hit.

The BIG news.

We have decided to add something that we believe will change higher stakes games forever whilst giving more people a chance of big money from small amounts of money.

We have added the following:

Sundays:

$11 buy in,250 $109 tickets
$22 buy in, 250 x $215 tickets
$55 buy in, 100 x $530 tickets
$109 buy in, 50 x $1050 tickets

EVERY DAY:

$11 buy in, 100 x $109 tickets
$22 buy in, 100 x $215 tickets
$55 buy in, 50 x $530 tickets
$109 buy in, 25 x $1050 tickets

Obviously these guarantees are gigantic and there will be a lot of value. We could have went for 1/5 and doubled the buy in, but we don't want people who play the target event to play the sats, it should be bringing NEW players into each game. It is currently adding around 25% to the prizepools, we expect all of our bigger prizepools to grow even more.

We will add the SMOOTH structure, this means blinds go up very small (example, 800/1600, 875/1750, 950/1900) this means that in the sats people don't get completely demolished from the blinds going up.

All tickets will have a 7 day expiry, if you aren't looking to play for the next 7 days then you should wait later to play these sats.

Each satellite will have feeder satellites, running before to give everybody a chance.

We believe this will be a game changer for us, prizepools will grow, there will be a lot of stories of players satelliting in for small amounts of money and winning huge amounts. We saw last week in the Irish open a player satelliting in for $0.01 and winning over $100k, we love this.

Good stuff!

Looks good, but how are you planing to make them launch better than current sats which get cancelled often? You need to have feeders which finish before target satellite that guaranteed enough seats for those to launch (and make sure those small sats launch as well).

We have plans to make sure they launch. If they don't run on any days at all we will be very disappointed. They should run every day, if they start not to run for whatever reason, we'll add more options to get in and make sure they fill.

I play on party almost every day.

Love What you have done with schedule and all the improvements, Guarantees, etc. but 1 thing that I dont like is those super long tournaments, like 14+ hours etc even for 55$, dont see how it is good for getting traffic from recreationals, who just wants to play some tourney with bigish 1st prize for max 8h not 15+ or something like that in all those 215$ and even in 55$ with 14 min levels.

I think you can easily change levels to 12 for the longest and deepest ones and 10, 8, 6 even maybe hypers with 3, because the blind structures with all those many levels will still compensate that tourneys will be deepstacked enough.

Now its like 150bb deep in the end and its hard to play if you grind for 5-10h and then make deeprun in last tourney after 12h+ making final table and playing it 5+h more

I get that there is very deep structures for all those 550+ buy in, but I dont see that its good for lower 1s. Also yes if you plan to have 215 sunday million in future it will still run like 12+h even with 10 min levels or 12.

Other option is to make a lot 2 day tourneys with are with deeper structures.

But main point that I would like to see is regular tourneys with run time max 8, maaaybe sometimes 10h (on Sundays its cool) but not like 20h tourneys. Now its almost like in ACR where average run time is 15h

And of course i get that to maintain the big guarantees you need long late reg period, but still maybe there is some option to do it differently, because its totally enough to have this veeery steady blind structure.

Thanks for reading!

Said my peace.

Overall cool job PARTY!

Ola amigo

4pm $22 bounty hunter - 8 hours
5pm $55 warm up - 7 hours
6pm $22 Daily Major - running 6 hiours 30 and 13 left (estimated 8 hours)
7pm $55 main event - running 5 hours 30, 20 left (estimated 8 hours)

On Sunday theres only one in the lobby, but the $55 2197 runner tournament at 7pm finished in 9 hours.

In general we're decreasing clocks all of the time.

Even the 3pm 14 minute slow tournament (its important we offer at least one of these to customers) started at 3pm and finished at midnight.

We listening to the feedback and reducing the clocks at much as possible, but most of them are very decent I think atm.

Looks like a great addition, specially when alot of sats on most sites have poor structures when it comes to satting into online tournaments.

Hopefully the feeder sats are also priced correctly like the big gtd sats have been.

Would like to see a sunday major turbo that isnt 6 max sometime in the future or maybe some turbo theme tournaments that can run every few hours as table fillers like hots

Plus 1

bam gg i ll be in those every session

Great for high stakes players indeed.... for the rest of players i hope u keep
the 0.5+2$ to 22$ or have a plan to get a 5$to55$ (the one always missing). Otherwise it s just air for most bankrolls between 0-3000$ (i reckon in % most of your clients)
