You can. Quote from lobby: You can enter as many Day 1's as you wish. Should you get 2 stacks through, only the largest stack will go through to Day 2

All,

We have planned poker maintenance - Wednesday 3rd August between 05:00 CET and 06:30 CET (11pm EDT and 12:30 EDT)
This will impact ALL of our services - cash games,SNGs, fastforward and MTTs.

Our poker team will be updating our tournament schedule to ensure no tournaments will commence between downtime and you will notice a reduced schedule prior to the event
*You may also notice some changes to our HR clock for tonight only*

We hope to be up and running before 06:30CET

Please note this maitenance is essential and we will also be updating our lobby
Highlights to note >> Our new bet slider will be implemented, general lobby improvements including improved display for our flighted tourneys, some small waitlist changes and some general bug fixes

Thanks all,

Colette

Hey Colette,
Any plans to run a 2-3 week HS powerfest series during September? it will be massive with WCOOP going on!

Also please, if you don't want to add these extra blind levels deep in all tourneys, make it happen in the Series atleast, they are meant to be a bit more special and I think everyone would prefer room to play when you're deep in tourney with massive prizepools.

I remember last series average stack were less than 25bb (final 2 tables) in a $530 event , should be atleast 40bb+ average during the whole tourney imo.

Thanks!

I guess no Creed tonight? Wasn't even in lobby.

Good for me though, need more sleep after last night small bink.

Also: High Roller blind levels had been changed from 20 mins to 18 mins, maybe next time a warning

I don't see any reasonable way to make HS tournament with having 40bb+ avg. stack which doesn't last many days. ICM just doesn't allow it unless people play it very badly (in other words, bust too easily).

Generally speaking I would think that making some kind of escalator (shorter blind levels in the beginning, longer in the end) might help a long way. 12 min for first 12 levels, 18 min for next 12, 24 min for next X levels and 30 mins for the Final Table? Playing for some huge 109$+ event for over 100k$ guaranteed as a special event it might work a long way without making it overly long for players.

The Creed was cancelled as per the planned maintenance
Also this is the reason the blinds in the HR changed - as per my post >>

Thanks for the feedback

+1 to the above, bet slider is infinitely better, nice surprise when opening up my first table this morning!
Also very happy to see a powerfest schedule for September! Super excited for that, great work!
08-03-2016 , 03:36 AM
The custom bet sizes work brilliantly for post flop however they are greyed out when I try to use them preflop.
08-03-2016 , 03:46 AM
Yeah I'm having the same problem as above.
08-03-2016 , 03:53 AM
Looking forward to Powerfest, I do think you should mix it up a bit. Add some rebuys, some reg speed 6 max, 6 max rebuys, Deepstack tourneys etc etc. I love the fact you have loads of reg speed freezeouts but I think their is just too many of them which stops any one particular event standing out. Especially because they are mostly replacing the regular schedule (which is understandable).

Hello, i appreciate when sites create a series of tournaments as they are almost always a big success and good for poker.

However, yet again i see the same tournaments day after day, 9 handed nl holdem with same structure/format for almost every event. I really struggle to see why its so difficult to add more variety to the schedule?

And what is the deal with partypoker having the buy ins range from $5 straight to $22? Seriously why can't you add some more $11 freezouts, rebuys, etc?

Its just the same games over and over, don't you agree this could become tedious?

You really have to sort out the daily schedule also, all you have is the same tournament offered every other hour with a 6 max turbo now and then.

sorry for so much criticism but its just frustrating to never see a change.

Our new bet slider has been introduced today with some great new features to enhance play on our tables
You can now customize your bet options to suit your play, we have improved our custom bet options and introduced a modern interface with a larger font

Simply head to the Options tab in the lobby and select Bet Slider
Select your preferred options and Save
You can customize buttons 2,3 and 4 to accommodate your style of play
Choose between Pre Flop and Post Flop options and configure bet buttons based on percentage of pot and number of big blinds

Hope that’s all clear - feedback appreciated as always Check out the images below >>

+1 for series being ultra boring.

Guaranteeds are generally great though. I hope there's good satellites (including rebuy) to those. And some LB promotion.

new bet slider looks very good! pretty impressed you guys pulled that off. another step in the right direction

cant try new bet slider atm but looking forward to it.
However this is such a huge point and +1000
why is the site so infinit static in everyhting? way too little varying formats/buyins etc. we need more 11R/162/215/1050 FOs , seems like you wont be able to catch up with competition if you will never leave the comfort zone. I log onto your site and i see the same tourneys every day, what type of exitement is this supposed to create? I just dont understand how there is so little progress in this from your site for such a relativly easy matter to handle. you dont nwed to overthrow the satellite system bc you add a few new buyins.

that being said recent developments have been positiv but way too slow which is frustrating bc you leave out clear opportunities to grow.

Is there anything like leaderboard promos planned?

During summer is bad time to implement new stuff and try it because field always going to be low and withered. Collete posted itt that once the season is finished the team will make variations to the schedule and optimist it. Now there is better software and online app working great numbers should increase and allow better variation of tournaments.

Have you looked at the gtd's on the latest series? They are certainly not withered and will bring in big numbers, this series will run post summer season yet they have still decided to make every event the same.

still cant use it preflop (% are grey), only post flop it works

It looks like registration problems are back. I register just prior late reg closes -> software does not respond and after latereg clock goes to next level "sorry, late registration just closed" pops up.
