Hi Schmette

Some feedback for you -

Suggestions so far:
- 50r 15k on a daily basis at the current timeslot

This is planned for Mon and Tues only - we will review performance before considering a daily slot

- decrease timebank in hypers, that not everybody is timebanking to reach the FT

I have raised this with tech team and poker manager for consideration

- Saturdayshedule is pretty bad, bring a 50r and the regular 109 1RE with a 20-25k and biuld smalish games around (200$ 10k.....) Bring the regular 5+ 10+ 18:30CET back, it makes no sense to make it on a saturday a freezeout.

We are confident the new schedule will sort out Saturday - we have a good range of tournaments from $2 buy ins to $350

-Structure-Change of the TurboMtts->5min into 6-7minutes to make the game slightly smoother.

This will be in place in the new schedule - turbo FO will be 6 mins and turbo RB will be 5mins

-1k on a tuesday (wouldn't change it now to a sunday as your 500$ game is working there so far)

This has been raised previously and we will continue to run this on Mondays and on Tuesdays offer the $350 buy in. We will continue to review performance but for now no plans to change this

Thanks

Colette

For various reasons we will not be sharing our new schedule before it goes live

Thanks,

sounds awesome

!!Please consider changing the 100+ turbos to 6 minutes levels if you aren't going to lower the rake or add more levels.

After 150min of play the blinds have reached 10k/20k, the 109 turbo on stars in the same timeslot reaches 2.8k/5.6k after 150min of play.

As per my above post I believe I answered this yesterday -


This will be in place in the new schedule - turbo FO will be 6 mins and turbo RB will be 5mins

[thin brags, I know]

Last 15 in this Pokerfest 109 75k GTD and average stack is 13bb.

structures are usually too fast in all of the tourneys near the endgame anyway

Yes I've grown to appreciate wasting time playing 400bb deep pre ante and flipping her up at the FT on Partypoker but even for a company with a figurative brain as obscure as Partypoker it seems totally nonsensical to me that their flagship series tournaments have significantly worse structures than the daily timbeys.

I like the promotions that offer MTT tickets for deposits. Those games are really much more soft than usually. Once in a time even PartyPoker does something right: also Pokerfest seems to be getting nice amount of players.

Pokerfest deposit offer -

pokerfest this evening showcases our NLH Triple chance events #46 - event#48

We are offering all players who deposit today a 100% release restricted bonus (min $10 Max $100) using code POKERFESTDAY9

Good luck!

How long time we have to release the bonus and how many points it require per part (how large chunks bonus releases)?

Asking one MTT player who wonders if I have any chance to clear any meaningful amount of bonus

The deposit is released in 10 x slabs - 10% per slab

For the minimum deposit of £10 - each slab would release $1 for 12 points.
(deposit +bonus x 0.6 = points required)

^^ is this partypoker only?
or also for bwin users?

partypoker only

Why is the 1k super highroller on a monday? Move it to tuesday and make it freeze out instead of re-entry. Seems like you guys don't realize tuesday is the biggest day of the week for high stakes tournament, zero pokerfest events on tuesday this week...

Great job with the promos for Pokerfest to get people to log in and some nice fields in the tournies. Just needs some of the structures tweaking (shallower and /or a few levels skipped at the start and a few levels added in the late game so it isn't a shovefest at the end) - Good job so far though guys, I've been logging into party every day during pokerfest when many days I skip it.

LOG from live chat support:

(asking about unused SATELLITE won tickets, NOT points store purchased one's)
(I edited out chat support rep's name to protect his/her privacy)

(chat support rep): at the moment there is no information whether unused tickets for the PokerFest will be converted into tournament dollars or will expire
(chat support rep): this will be decided by the promotions team at the end of the promo
(chat support rep): usually, they are converted
Steve: Pokerfest is almost over, and management is waiting untill its done to tell us, thats insane but not unexpected from Party, ok well....

Im sorry but Party *waiting* till the entire series is over to tell us if we get ANY rehimbursement for un-used event ticket's is kinda insane.

I could see for the smaller event's like $5 buyin's but for the bigger event's we need to know (in this case, i was asking about event #75 2K buyin) if we are geting rembursed with T $ for the ticket value's or abosutely getting zero dollars for it, we kinda need to know to make proper desicions about playing those event's or not.

Collette stated that they WILL be converted. I'm going by what she has said and am trusting that she's higher up then the general chat support agents, or has gotten that information from someone higher up.

I wanted to make this clear also as I have about $700 in total tickets but if some are left over I don't want to see them just vanish.

why are there so many turbo mtts on your site? I go to play a session and see 4 109 Turbos today - why not make one of these reg speed at the very least..

This has been discussed several times - for now we are happy with this and will continue to run this tournament on Mondays.

Thank you for the feedback.

As I stated previously -

If the ticket was purchased via the store it will not be converted post pokerfest
Post series tournament issued tickets will be converted. Bonus issued tickets will not be converted if unused as per our T&Cs
To be clear - If an entry ticket was awarded as a bonus/goodwill offer or comp - these will not be converted post series
Any tickets won via satellites or main tournaments will be converted

I will share your feedback with the relevant team - we have our new season schedule launching on the 9th and we feel we have a good offering for all

Thanks

Colette

** pokerfest daily update **

We are offering all players who deposit today a free $5 ticket to event #51 (5K GTD)
- min deposit $10 USD - using code POKERFESTDAY10

Good luck!

Pokerfest has indeed been good, well done.

And no 'server issues' this time. But theres also been no overlays in the big stuff...

Yes its been discussed but its such a bizarre decision that you have to expect people to keep asking for your reasoning. You are taking the risk of adding a high stakes tournament and then going about it in such a cak-handed manner.

I think there is def a market for a HS game on Mondays, but make it a 500/320 (re-entry if you must) and stick a HS freezeout with at least a 50k gtee on a Tuesday.

Run affordable sats so recs can play and promote it as something special. It will be very popular, it will be a flagship tournament (A withered 1k re-entry with 20 people does not create excitement for the vast majority of people), it will earn you more money, it will raise the profile of the party MTT schedule.

Your answers only ever seem to be you're 'happy with it' but why? Whats the reasoning lol? And has the person who decided on the schedule even played an online tournament in the last 3 years?

My advice would be to employ a current grinder or 3 (varying stakes) as consultants to review the schedule/structures/sats. Take what you will from it, but it will be relevant and up to date info/opinion. Not just some guy sat at a 9-5 job looking at field numbers and making poor choices not based on actual playing experience.

Stars did it by employing and ex-grinder to manage the tournament schedule but you have an advantage as you have proven you're willing to make changes/take chances without the endless bureaucracy of Stars.

LOADS of negative publicity surrounding Stars atm and now is the time to take some action to capitalise on it and sweep up some loyal players that are unhappy with them.

Honestly, I was one of the people who was very sceptical of the longevity of the tournament, esp on a Monday. However it has done very well hasn't it? Its not a withered 20 people, last night saw it double the guaranteed. Not every high stakes tourney has to be crammed into the Stars Super Tuesday slot, I think its actually a lot of fun to have a tournament like this on an offpeak day. I also think this makes the rec:reg ratio a lot better.

Thank you
Some valid feedback from both

I believe overkill with adding too many sats would ruin the high roller aspect of the tournament - the current player group are happy with the buy in and want to play with similar players - it is after all a unique tournament for this niche
The tournament has performed well over the last few months - and we stand by our decision for this to remain on Mondays

Regarding our current schedule - as the season ends we will see our new schedule kick off shortly and are confident it offers something for everyone.

Yeh but it won't when pokerfest/ipops aren't on i'd imagine.

Anyway im not saying get rid of it (Although think it would work better at 320/500) Just do something on a Tuesday as well to take advantage of the bump in people wanting to play high stakes on that day.

Just run another 1k or 500 fo on the Tuesday?
