1-table S&Gs - your feedback requested

what

[DannyOcean_]

I'm pretty sure you just skipped the whole freaking thread because the whole rake issue has been nit-analyzed a million times. Dale isnt out to get you, you just said something retarded.

46-4 or 41-3 would be about right imo.

Bryan, any comments from you would be more then welcome!!

any chance we could have some advance notice of server restarts? it probably only affects european players as it usually happens at like 4am EST but it's pretty annoying to sit down for a session and have no new tables opening

I'm here... reading and digesting. You folks are more than carrying the conversation at this point, so I thought I'd let it go on without interfering.

I'm definitely reading, though... fairly sure I'm not the only one.

As for the antes, based on this thread, the consensus seems clear and I thank all of you for sharing your thoughts on the feedback we'd received to remove them. As for the other feedback, I can't make any promises, however I have noted every bit of it, and passed it along as well.

One thing I can tell you is that the 150/300-25 level is likely to be added soon.

Further question, if you don't mind: what do you prefer, 9-handed or 10-handed... and why?


All the best,

Server resets are your friend. Watch the MTTs. When you don't see any new ones loading, a server reset is coming. Then about 30 min. before 4am, sign up for every single and multi-table STT anywhere near your price range--turbo and non. As long as one person is signed up, they won't go away and will fill eventually, generally with bad players. Now play your 20 tables, go bananas, profit.

What sucks is when the turbos end, and you die on everything except the $33, 27-man non-turbo, which could have an hour left. Decision time.

We generally put the message in the lobby around 3am EST, I believe. I see no reason why we couldn't put it up a bit sooner. I'll make a note to see to it that we do our best to give better notice in the future. Thanks for letting me know about this! (Some things you just don't notice if you're not playing on the site, you know?)

Dude, Dale is [censored] insulting me every second post he makes...it seems he has nothing better to do, this is ongoing since once he believed I spite called him while instead I made a ICM mistake...and I even bubbled on that hand!!

how sad is he?

Great news about the 150/300 blind level.

I would like 10 player because the payouts are better. Third place would at least be a full buyin of profit. Larger prize pool, while still being an STT. mmmmm...

I prefer 10 handed, 4 places pay. 3 places is some sick variance. But 10 handed is better because the game can't support more winning players.
