That captcha is a really really good idea to prevent bots from just playing around the clock unattended. Didn't know stars was doing that.

Although, I feel like it would take ages upon ages for party to implement something like this.

Id re word some of your titles too.Such as the mini main event instead of the main event mini.Id also not include any weight class in the titles of your majors.It would make them stand out more and look cleaner.
The main event $215
The mini main event $11
mini warm ups should come in now, but with monster series its not good to cannabalize too much.

regarding wording, yeh will look into that, didn't mention it when I proposed, oversight.

The weigh classes shouldnt be there for much longer, agree it makes it visually tougher, but full screen lobby will be here soon.

These rarely run and I'm often kicked out at start because there aren't he minimum entires.

My suggestion, instead of starting these on the hour, please change it to :05 or :10 past the hour. Almost everyone is still on break as they are usually longer then 5 minutes, when these are suppose to start and will not be in front of the computer to get in last second. I feel this will greatly help these in particular and possibly others also.

they seem to actually be really popular, I haven't played them in the last few weeks because started session later, but people gave me very good feedback regarding them.

What do you think about starting the phase 1 hour later?

I think a lot of people are using party with mods that totally exit the chat altogether, so may be tough. In terms of bots etc, there is a sick good team working on it and they have already done really good job so far, there will be new software coming shortly that will make it very tough for ai/bots.

$55 6max 20% pko instead of the flailing 109 5k pko

$44 6max turbo early with regspeed timebank with about 5k guarantee

$33 6max hyper starting right after the clubber with turbo timebanks and 6k+ guaranteee

Literally any 6-max at this point will be better then current offerings but,

With the new structures, I think $22 and under are good for 6 min levels. Maybe $55+ Make them 8, maybe HR's make 10. You should definitely make a daily major out of these. A $5, 22, 55, etc with a decent gtd 1.5-2 hours after all the other daily majors start.

Your turbos are not turbos.Id like a few tournaments that are a bit quicker than 4-5 hours for 300 player fields that are titled turbo.5 min blinds or smaller starting stacks for some of the turbos please.
Some 1r1a tournaments would be nice too, $2/$5/$8/$11 and morning and early afternoon daily majors in the $11-$33 range.
10-16-2017 , 04:30 PM
I kinda disagree, those MTTs are pretty niche IMO

Add maybe 1 quicker turbo at midstakes with a nice GTD, but please keep all the current offerings as they are
10-16-2017 , 04:58 PM
I would like to see some 4 max mtt's in the schedule, possibly a few $4.40 4max rebuy's and some $7.50, $11 freezouts with 2k - 3k gtd. I would be happy if the price points in the monster series were used in the daily schedule, but add $7.50s and $16.50s.

I Would also like to see a $33 nightly special, give it a name, colour, a 10k gtd and players will flock to it. I think it's important to try and make as many mtt's unique from each other.

Perhaps the schedule could differ each day, having different stuff to play each session will keep things fun imo.

Apart from any "special" mtt's, please consider having a few different structures in the schedule, it would be nice just to play a freezout with 3k starting stacks and 10/20 blinds again. Just give me a ton of variety and i'm good.
10-16-2017 , 06:46 PM
Contender II, Uppercut II and counterpunch II as 6max would be amazing.
10-17-2017 , 05:11 AM
cool new tournaments, how about updating software now?
10-17-2017 , 12:23 PM
Hey, awesome changes so far!
Maybe it would be possible to introduce few rebuy tournaments in the schedule?
Few ideas :
* 17:00 [UK Time] - $33 [1R1A] [$7.5k GTD]
* 18:00 [UK Time] - $11+R [$10k GTD] -> Would be awesome to build this up like the old late $11R at stars. Decent prize pool would attract most players from across all the limits.
* 19:00 [UK Time] - $5.5+R 2x or 3x Turbo [$7.5k GTD] - Same logic as above, try to build up for a decent Gtd later on.
* 20:00 [UK Time] - $22 [1R1A] [$12k GTD]

Very interesting - assume it's done via preventing screen-scraping through obfuscation etc.

I've reported one player in particular in the sng's numerous times several months ago for being a bot and I'm sitting with them now again in the same SNG. Obv nothing has happened.

Colette, Pads please help me settle following satellite ticket affair w/ support.

It was last Powerfest day, I reg into $1050 2-day HR $1.5mln and into big satellite to this event as well.
Target event has started before satellite has finished so I regged for cash.

Later I`ve won ticket via satellite, but now support doesn`t want to convert ticket into $T saying they would only do it if I used another ticket originally to reg into event which seems nonsense (given you Colette said - if you play event and win satellite you get ticket converted into $T after powerfest).

What actually happened after I won satellite is I got registered to some random gimmick 1k satellite (to $25k SHR) scheduled on the next day after Powerfest finishes (impossible but I obviously had no intention to play it anyway).
So I`ve unregistered from it and written a letter to support asking to convert my ticket, they told they can`t do it right now but will arrange smth later.
Now they say they won`t convert it.

I can PM any additional info.

I made my first final table at PartyPoker yesterday, yay! Given it was only a micro tourney and I only got about $50 for my 5th place, but whatever it's nice to get used to the software before the mid-stakes series

But I still dislike that you can't do total full-screen on tables and the lobby

Man if you would accept Jivaro I would probably move at least 70% volume to party poker.
Got any plans for that maybe?
10-18-2017 , 11:36 AM
Dear Colette,

as i have already stated out party clearly ignores micro stake players and the micro mtt schedule is horrible, no 2$ 3$ 4$ and the structures in general are pretty much the same, guarentees are low.

but now the worst change of all has happened which proves that party clearly does not give a flying F about micro stake players. Partypoker has now decided to turn a part of the prize pool into title fight tickets? from non satelite mtt's, why on earth would you consider doing that? if people wanna play satelites they will play satelites from the money they win? why do you force tickets upon people and reduct it from the prize pool?

below two screenshots of these disgusting changes:

https://gyazo.com/62fab1b81e35d7e00e693e6ce10737ff

i will stop playing mtt's untill this crap is changed.
10-18-2017 , 12:32 PM
NO LIMIT OMAHA8orB

this is one of the most popular formats on stars, and i can't see why pp ignores this.

Agree it is ridiculous.

If their microstakes tournaments in Monster Series will be success then it is necessary to improve their micro stakes daily offering. Otherwise people will play Monster Series events and will not log in to Party afterwards. It is impossible to keep people interested with $1 100, $1 150 etc. It is necessary to have at least $3 1k-1,5k, $2 1k etc.

Wanted to play some $5 games in order re-familiarize with software. However, after seeing that every second $5 tournament is PKO with small guarantees decided not to log-in. It would be better to have less $5 PKOs but with larger guarantees (for instance, $5 5k gtd PKO at 19:00 CET). I was shocked to see that after $5 1,5k gtd at 16:00 CET the next regular speed non-PKO is the Jab at 20:00 CET. Is it a real life?
