Of note:
#11 Sat 11/15
5:00pm No Limit Hold'em Doublestack 7 Max
$25,000 Guarantee $350

Is this really a 7-Max MTT? If true, that's the first 7 max MTT I've seen that's not NL 2-7 or WSOP's 8-game...

$350 mixed events are $300+50 and skip $250/500 and never go longer than 30 mins.

Main event looks way worse than hpt that just ran there. 20k chips vs 30k, only 40 min levels throughout until ft. And plays out in two days instead of three for same Buyin.

I know you can do better.

You really need to stop trolling. Not everyone wants a super deepstack structure. Especially in LA where a lot of people have jobs and don't want to play a single tourny for 4-5 days

Std is three days for a $1600. Commerce has proven how successful that format was with last several hpts.

Mixed events will still finish in two days without skipping levels. 30mins throughout is bad enough. No need to compound that by skipping levels.

Not trolling. Youre the one trolling me with nonsense you cant back up with numbers.

They've gone to don't ask don't tell advertising. Just the full price of the tournaments is listed in their advertising. Nothing about fees or deductions. They went from having one of the most clear and concise advertising to one of the most vague.

The magazine ads listed no fees whatsoever. Jeffrey king redid the ads after I brought it up. Great response.

Maybe time to adjust your style...

More of a sample size- only my fifth tournament over that same period.

Although I agree I should probably reconsider my strategy: busted 15 mins into Day 2
