If NLHE is getting overlays in Big MTT series how do you expect NLO8, PLO8 and the likes to do?
I actually wasn't trying to get them to add non-holdems to their Powerfest series. I was using the ratio of non-holdem events during SCOOP as an example of what should be available on their weekly schedule.
To be honest, I don't play on PartyPoker because last time I checked, they little to zero PLO8 and NLO8 tournaments on their daily schedule. They continue to be ignorant on the subject that they've "experimented" with non-holdem and they've failed. Yet, pretty much any site that runs them properly has succeeded. I'm not asking for a full high stakes schedule. I think that in terms of # of tournaments, having even 1/20 of what Stars offers would be reasonable given the differences in population between the two rooms. They currently don't even offer 1/100 of what Pokerstars offers for O8.

FLO8 is not a very popular event for our players - hence why we currently do not offer it
We have tried mixed games before and found we simply do not have the player base so opt to focus on the more popular games
Thanks
What kind of experiments have you guys made to determine that you don't have the player base?
Just to give you an idea, Bodog/Bovada has about 30 O8 tournaments during the course of a day and they are getting decent fields.
I feel like I've provided a lot of examples/reasons why O8 would be successful on PartyPoker. What will it take for you guys to change your mind?
With all the negative reaction to Pokerstars' rake changes, do you think you guys would be interested in adding a couple of smaller tournaments to the daily schedule to see how they perform?
A daily $22, $11 and a few $<10 events would be a great way to get players to try a new game.
As always, thanks for reading.
