i would prefer tickets or $T
As per all powerfest tickets - as long as a ticket has been used for the target event - multiple tickets will be converted to T$ post series

Are the powerfest championship events 1 or 2day event?

Just wondering because it doesn't say anything about a day 2 but with the structure they have to have a running time of at least 16 hours making them unplayable if you have to work on Monday

Those which are will say 2 DAY in the name when found in the lobby For example #329 is a 2 day event

Any plans to make the hand replayer the same as stars so can get a table open then look back at the hands that were played as a observer?

Guessing this might be to reduce data mining? While you are running these 100/200 plo games would be nice to be able to look back at some hands if leave the computer for 10 minutes.

Looking forward to Monday. Day off work is booked. In the right time zone for the 16 hour marathons. Lets go!!!

Really good way to get people onto the client but with no replayer it's really no fun to rail

+1

Specially with the high stakes action going on (5k, 10k, 25k powerfest events). Rail is no fun. You cant replay a hands, you cant chat and on mobile app you cant even open a running tournament.

Software is still absolutely awful, but don't worry everything is great as at least Fedor Holz & co are getting paid our rake!

Party were promising to substantially improve their software when I first made a 2p2 account. Thirteen years later still waiting!

Hi,
is the cashback on bwin and party the same? I play on bwin now and I saw a statement on their website saying that the higher status you have the higher value the points have in the 'market'. After getting to the white status I havent noticed any change though.

Currently you get the same amount of points per 1$ of rake paid, no matter what your status is. And you have to pay the same amount of points in the market for the tickets / T$. I calculated their benefits to be the equivalent of 4-5% rakeback.

I tried to get answers from the bwin support to understand what advantages I had being higher status when I attained one and they were unable to mention any. They gave me the same marketing BS "better rewards, better promotions", but were unable to point out what these rewards were.

The choice was clear for me - I'm playing on Party now.

Wow after people gave out about a weekly leaderboard you guys go and do a 10 day rake race.... Doesn't even reward good play just high raking.

edit: Party are obviously pretty clueless about the cheating that goes on at leaderboard - really braindead promotion.

can u put the size of the antes together with the blind level? In the lobby it says only the big and the small blind missing the ante
09-22-2017 , 06:06 PM
Quite sad if only promotion for great looking MTT series is a cash game rakerace. Doesn't really ring a bell... why?

E: Also schedule in website shows just buy-ins + guaranteeds, but doesn't even state what format tournaments are (PLO / NL Texas what-so-ever).

As much as I like the schedule of the series (loads of variety in buy ins with amounts of $2.20, $4.40.. Basically buy in amounts "inbetween", I don't understand at all why you'd have a FastForward race alongside this MTT series (especially with all the botting that seems to be going on on FastForward). Why not have a SNG promotion like that? That would be something MTT players would actually consider playing along with the series. Or something like a series-leaderboars with scores based on your results in the Moster Series events.
Pretty much everything you could have done would have been a FF race right now IMO, not only does this format stand in no relation to the monster series, but it's also a kick in the face for the grinders who keep reporting FF bots to you without seeing anything change in that aspect.

Yea have heard FF has plenty of bots. Will have a lot more for the week this challenge is run. My honest guess is the top 5 will have to either multi-account or use a bot to win.

Well I just got suprised that this phase 2 on the pp-powerfest essentially is a new tourney where new registrations are possible.

Yeah, this isn't OK in my opinion. I made it to day 2 and then I discover anyone can buy in on day 2. WTF,
09-24-2017 , 03:39 PM
$55 phase event structure is too fast. Needs more levels added I suspect
09-24-2017 , 05:18 PM
Structure is a joke in $11 championship event as well. Why can't you design something that keeps a 40BB structure the whole way through. 20BB shove tests are not exactly "championship"
09-24-2017 , 05:18 PM
the blinds slowing down when 90% of the field is busto is too late
