Quote: Although I like the Monday Challenge game I only play it if I can sat into it. The buy in is to high. If it were to change into a re-buy format it would be another challenge game I would not attempt ...

have to agree wkd if the br is massive or even just BIG then losing a couple of $50s means nothing on the other hand if like me and yourself wkd it does mean something then caLLS we would make 9 outta 10 times you dont make and its not good for your game or winning is why i am opposed to rebuys also in any shape

Well I'm a fan of the double chance game and would like to see pacific offer these games in more tournaments, I'm not sure the traffic pacific gets would warrant them in $50 buy in games, but why not give it a try

Maybe the monday and thursday games could swap places, after all the 4 biggest buy in challenges all run consecutively, just a thought

And once again the same old thing, more sats with better structures running all week, do away with the rewards game lobby (there are only 4 games in it) and turn it into a satellite lobby, fill it with sats to all challenge games, and run them every day, more chances to qualify on a day that suits the player must be better than all sats on 1 day, copy the saturday challenge sats if you have to, just give more people the chance to get in

Sit and go sats to the 15 seat gtd game might encourage more sng players to take a look, a sng step system to the challenges, the 1 in 9 sng's are not working (as we said they wouldn't) try 1 in 3/4/5 sng's, hopefully more games for people to qualify from = more people qualifying

Here's my situation to explain this better

I am currently working 70 miles from home, most nights I get back after the 15 seat gtd game has started, so now if I want to play any of the challenges I have to buy in or play an all in game, I have the weekend off and can play as much poker as I like, but today I can only qualify for the sat and sun challenges, tomorrow I can only qualify for the sun and mon challenges, if there were sats for all the challenge games every day I could play them when I wanted to and at least give myself the chance to satellite in, as things stand  most days I will have to buy straight in or play bingo for a seat

i no this is going to happen but we all no its going to happen another tourney losing it grd.

i think the fact that the ozzy market is so useless they are not bothering as much now i really can't see how anyone in there time zone actually plays on 888 over the weeks i have notice nothing for them.

but now we have a few weeks in the hart of summer and june is over when 888 always try to make things look good.

the kids are off school in every corner of the globe.

its holiday time for every corner of the globe

there a recession in every corner of the globe.

and 888 wants to no why there games are losing a few customers its the hart of the summer hot summer nites bbq kids screening coz they have no school tomorrow.

why panic soon been winter cold and wet all over europe and especially uk.

and by then you would of changed things again. and when we all can play the games wont  be worth it.

so why panic for a few weeks in the summer when its obvious people have more commitements like i have mentioned.

there are only a few people who can say i don't have to worry i can play every nite but others have wifes shoting get off that pc play with the kids. book the holiday take us to the park or something.

its the same on everysite for a few weeks but don't worry it be ok but 888 will worry they will panic as always.

how low can we go how low can we go.

not much lower thats for sure.

i have to say this last few weeks has been a breath of fresh air on 888 for me anyway not since januray have i felt so good and happy playing here but i can feel it and i no it theres another panic revamp coming up again just like before and it be another 6 months to xmas before they get it half good again.

my advice more sats

more good sit and go sats.

and if you still in a panic.

try bring back the 2 10ks again like the good old days am sure they will work if u don't make them to expensive to buy in and u do sats for them both.

i really don't no why 888 don't think for a minute why is at certain times of year the traiffic at peak times deep for a week or 2.

i tell you now in a few weeks to a month the kids be back at school family holidays over and winter be here and boom traffic will go up again.

byes for now tot's

Maybe you need to dig out the data on the old 20k series yuv and see if monday was less poular in that as well, I'm not sure why people don' want to pay the same money for 5k etra gtd

The school summer holidays are late july until early september, so I wouldn't expect that to be having a drastic effect at the moment

How about 2 x 10K grt games 1 hour appart 19.00 20.00 ppt, buy in $20+2 (maybe a bit more but not much) have one as a straight freezeout, and the other as a double chance game (1 rebuy only no add on) run them for 6 weeks and see which is more popular, if they both prove popular you have 2 more nice evening games, if they both prove unpopular it's back to the drawing board

And I'd still like to see double chance games added to the schedule throughout the day, also can the morning games schedule be tweaked at weekends to provide better games on our days off, I just looked in the lobby and there is nothing that interests me for at least 2 hours

i have notice that mondays 20k was one of the best nites.

i also no why it was the best nite for so long.

the big game was sunday so there were sats running for it from saturday.

however i am sure now that the 888 manager has proved rite and sit and go sats don't work.

how about trying the sit and go sats that do work

for example the one u run sunday for 12 dollars does work but the one u run monday does not

on a friday in stead of making the sit and go as cheap as possible how about making it a decent sit and go ag 5,50 plus rake 1-6.

sunday and monday u could have a 11 dollar 5 seater sit and go u could run these all week i no they won't be very popular but i no i would have me name in them untill i got me seat.

like wiggy said get rid of the rewards lobby have a satellites lobby,

sats mean seats seats me we play. no sats i don't play..

the sats at the mo yuv are getting better u have got some good ones they all work now u no we play these so introduce more of them.

i don't care wat u said before they do work and we play them look at the saturday 1-4 took us ages to get that but its the best sats of the week now do them for all the big games and see,

nice idea wiggy and one i think i will support as long as the buy in is around what you say i;e 20+2/25+2.50 for two 10k games one freezout 1 2nd chance never actually tried one of those but i like the idea only 1 rebuy and no add on seems a gr8 idea gives the player a chance if a real bad beat hits you whilst keeping out the madness of the rebuy cool imo
