Stop with the re-entries. Just stop. Its the one last thing that was keeping me from putting most of my volume over to party.

Re entry at mistakes specifically are an absolute disaster for recs as the top tier guys will destroy those games.

You have absolutely ruined the marathon by making it re entry. That game will be absurdly tough as a daily MTT with re entry. Thanks.

I was happy to see you bring back the hotter/biggers, but to have them as re-entry is a mistake imo

And also, rip sunday marathon, which was one of my favorite tournaments.. Well who knows, maybe the gtd will make 60k+ anyways now that's its re-entry (lol)....

You guys keep dissapointing when I think it's not possible anymore, gz

- daily 55$ marathon should start at least 1h-1:30h earlier

+1
Having Big44 and Marathon55 in same time slot is nonsense imo...
All games on winamax are 1x reentry,and they have great success,there is no need for 2x ...

Great changes for me personally but I doubt all the extra re entries will be great for the ecosystem. Loving the 2k weekly and 530 daily, looks like party finally forced you to do something about the highstakes offering

Nah, even the marathon is rebuy after tomorrow

Luke, I will not play any* of your tournaments which are re-entry.







*possibly the Sunday million, but that's it...

+1 to this. think adding re-entries would have been fine up to a point where regs/recs might have used it somewhat equally. Sub 22 Bigs/Hots maybe. But this could very likely be the death penalty for most non-featured +44s. To be fair non-featured non-PKOs above 44 have been pretty much dead before anyway afaik. So not 100% sure how serious this is going to be in reality.



- i actually like the re-implementation of bigger/hotter tag , also i think having minis/originals starting at same time is kind of a good move. especially regarding the ton of ppl complaining about the mini million starting too late.

- rebrand old 320$ 6max to new daily 6max (215$) in blue, similar to your daily 500
- make daily 500, bb hr 500, 2.1k sunday SHR all 8max
- move the triple threat 1.15h later, in supersonic slot -> 3handed zoom needs a lot of focus and its a bit too early for most regs, might get better turnout like this. move h215 around if needs be. also this has 3h latereg atm, this has to be a mistake.
- slap some exciting gtds on everything new for once, take a ****ing risk man.
- limit to 1x reentry your blue/red specials. stars has a bigger pool than rest of the sites who need reentries to compete. also they have all the regs which will make this games really hard for the recs. also leave the games that were doing good freezeout ( marathon, monday and friday specials ), and put 1x reentry on the games that were declining ( bigs )

all in all, some good changes, some bad changes, don`t agree with the 2x re-entries strat, especially in anything upto 200$. slapping re-entries on HS is fine, but in small and mid stakes this games will just get very hard for the recs & midstakes regs.

i think "we’re going to let the dust settle on these many changes before making any big updates" strategy @ luke is wrong, a lot of the changes here are inspired from what people posted in this topic the last 1-2 years. being faster in implementing changes is the way to do it nowadays. some of your changes are just wrong, and small tweaks to start times, structures, reentries # and format would make them great.

this post was my first in the last year or so in this topic, i used to post much more and i`m not the only onre for sure. but if amaya had a change of heart in how they want to run things, i`m sure people will start posting again. i, for one, only posted because i don`t 100% dislike this new changes, so there`s a bit of hope. but not acting fast on what your players want will lose this small credibility you earned instantly, and we`ll go back to helping @partypoker

cheers

Triple threat showing as late reg for 3 hours. This cant be correct. Imagine regging after 2.5 hours and you have 1BB. Lol.

Also dont move the start time of this tourney later. If anything move it 1 hour earlier

reason for moving it earlier? earlier is basically still peakhours

Looks a lot like a last effort to collect as much money as possible. I already thought changing the 4/180s to on demand seemed weired because it would attract a lot of regs and the games would suffer. I played them 2-3 sessions and checked fts on other days and it was like expect: lots of microregs grinding them. Its somehow good news for the other networks because these regs will mainly stay on stars since they can fill their screen with this stuff and the other networks remain good for grinding up bankrolls.

Will the bigger and hotter have longer blind levels like previously or is it literally just a name change?

^^ The original Bigger / Hotter MTTs had 2 x Gtd. on Sundays.
Obv. this will not be reinvented, would be a bit too much of nostalgia I guess...

its all tailored for recs. they have made a mistake with reentry. don't blame luke its prob amaya. End of day this is online poker not a proper legal situation where we can lobby, get a union and make progress. Let them dig their own grave and move to other sites where they actually listen to players.

Lol at 2p2 warriors thinking they know more about how re-entries affect tournament performance than the people whose jobs it is to literally know exactly that. Like people said, if you're a reg this will help you anyways, so just take the win and move on. New schedule looks pretty cool, Luke!

what was wrong with the 2-7 single draw tournies? how do you expect your usual clients to play them when you change your offering to either 7am or 1am???

brainless decisions


balance withdrawn, boycotting pokerstars until further notice

LOL, so they just renamed them bigger and hotter put 2x reentry and already feeling the nostalgia.
So standard for Amaya to take something good and reinvent it worse then is it now.
10 mins then 12 mins we already have now without being reentry.
Back in the days Biggers were with 12 min levels and Bigs just with 10 mins.

love how they made it bigger/hotter wihout actually mentioning anything about bigger gtds. Just as I proposed, but I can't remember saying anything about re-entries :I

It's like your favourite sort of ice cream with a kick in the nuts.
