can you also add a find a player option.

maybe the table will pop up when it starts?

strange it dnt appear tho...

i just won a $6 satelite into the 4k KO $50+4 big10 mtt. i was able to register for the satelitle on betcoin, and won a seat, but the tournament is not  in the betcoin lobby. I closed out betcoin and checked blackchip poker and I am indeed registered for the tournament but i cant currently play on betcoin as this mtt isnt in the lobby, bc_whopoopedthebed is my sn. I would expect to be given the $54 buyin amount if the tournament isnt added to the betcoin lobby.

thanks

This shows the tourney lobby after I won the seat


Tourney not in betcoin lobby


Shows me as registered on Black Chip Poker, with no way to play?!?

ok as long as we get the same credit for the tickets we had

Suggestions (Improvments)

0.01B$/0.02B$ min buyin is 10x
0.02B$/0.04B$ min buyin is 20x (this is standard)
Zurich 0.05B$/0.10B$ buyin is 40x this is too high
I don't know if you want to offer more variations of gameplay or if this is a mistake, I can tell you a couple of reasons why this may not be such a good thing.




Fronts

I love seeing the colors in the lobby, but in my opinion it's a mess finding (special tournaments) (Satellites) etc


First of all it's hard to find any normal tournaments the ones in black lol:D i thought there was alot more of them. the low gtd, no rebuy tourneys
with a small playerpoll those are the ones i feel like playing when i don't really feel like playing.

The special tab has 5 different colors (Red the color which stands out the most used for freerolls) and  light yellow used for the 1,000,000GTD
Not to mention the yellow is the most used color in the lobby. I mean you literally made your biggest tournament the hardest to find.


You are probably already planning this but i thought i would mention it.

There isn't enough people that earned a high player's club level yet, once people has it i would do a weekly Silver/Gold freeroll and a monthly platinum/royal freeroll
Replace the daily/weekly promotion rewards with something free such as  StatusPoints(entries into the freerolls)

do what you got to do just make some freezouts, the shared tourneys have enough rebuy tourneys

they're basically Sit & go's, I like em. I played them on Stars but i really want a solid tourny schedule which is consistent so I can know when to come online and play.

And what good does that do. Players when then get on want to play now. They don't want to wait hours for a tourney. The grinders that stick around that will pump the flow of players want to multi table, and thats best done with on demands. Mixed in of course with daily/weekly tourneys. But as I said the issue is filling any tourney regardless or On Demand or regular MTT so thats why I say giving them incentive to sign up before it starts by 2x Rewards points on an already hard rewards system with this low of player flow could help.

These are all excellent ideas guys and we appreciate them.  For starters we are thinking to cut the GTD in half, cut out rebuys, keep reenters, and cut late registration down to 2-4 levels or not have late registration at all. 

We appreciate all of your feedback.

Betcoin need to build a solid weekly tourny scene, none of those on demands.

I agree deepstacks are better (but only as turbo's) or at most 10 min blind levels. Cut GTD's down some and only allow late reg for first hour only (as most big networks did it back in day).

Also I notice most don't fill before start time. Maybe do with ours as WPN has done with there's and offer 2x Reward points for people registered before the start time. Need to find a way to make it so people can reach these rewards levels like you could on PS with silverstar/gold/plat/ect. It keeps people playing consistantly to maintain the nice benefits.

$10 Daily Deepstack (No rebuys)
$25 Daily deepstack (No rebuys)
$5 Nightly Regular (No rebuys)

two daily deepstack tournys with no rebuys imo.

I'm pretty sure no one likes players rebuying at the last second, but we all like the gtd.
I think you could leave it the same if you just made these turbo or deepstack super turbo.  (i love deepstack tournaments)


Players buying in late wouldn't really have half the chance as they do now. by the time late reg is ending they're buying in at avg stack and that's whats making everyone mad.
Just makes the levels faster and every thing should be good.




Also i have a new game ideal probably wouldn't be a big hit i just think it would be fun to play.

Like allin or fold
This will be 10% or fold switch    (0.5%) ante

Each player can shove 10% of his chips or fold
every round the winner must choose one of his cards to show(to the entire table)
but the winner can also choose one card from anyplayers hand and see it (only he will know whos and what card)

every level this will switch from holdem to plo to pol8 to stud

I really dislike re-buy tournys, sometimes I don't want to gamble it up and actually play poker instead of shoving marginal hands trying to get lucky like everyone else.

Excellent ideas and leave the majority of tourneys in there?  Or cut all the amount of tourneys in half as well?

cut the gtd in half and make it no late reg, we need some freezout tourneys

We are working on revamping our BetcoinPoker.com tourney structure, timing etc.  Since the tournament options with the WPN, we have quadrupled active players and players are winning a lot more, having many more options to earn a true living playing poker again which has effected the Betcoin tournaments and now we are working to get those where they need to be.  The interesting part is those tournaments run with 3 players, therefore players that were looking to really win and earn btc would be playing in both the WPN tourneys (small buyin huge winning potential) and the Betcoin tourneys (larger buyin, less players) and you could really grind out a nice living. 

i havent seen a betcoin tourney run in a while, no one whats to start them because players late reg right at the last minute. gonna do something about that?

You will receive some type of credit, tourney money etc for the tickets that you have earned that is commensurate with the value of the tickets.  We are working on what exactly that will be and it should be finalized by Monday.  We have a record of every single action, ticket, etc that has occurred at BetcoinPoker.com. 

We have spent a lot of time, effort and energy programming in the tournament liquidity, coordinating the 1,500 BTC ($1,000,000) GTD tourney, BetcoinSports.com, affiliates etc and unfortunately we can't have everything perfect each time we roll out a new feature, but it will get there and your time effort and energy in winning the tickets along with everything else will be rewarded.
