I think a 1150 buy in with 7.5k added would be cool for a big tournament 1k goes to the pot and 150 for rake. Maybe hold it at like 7 or 8 ET. all so have more little tournaments for 150 to 750 points all day long with just a small amount added. Turn client in to the place to play. all so may bring new players. Let me know what you all think. If we get enough people to agree maybe Zab will hook us up.
I think we all wish th ere more client games and with MORE bigger prizes tooo,,,,, I wd defo play them alsoooo:)I think zab thinks theres not enuf people that play tho so idk,,,,
That why I started the post to get members to reply. i think there would be 15 or more in the 1st 1150 game.
ive asked several times for bigger buyins in the client
To be honest i dont think he cares to do that at all anytime sooon its to obvious
the only time zab usually increases the prize is if the number of people consistently grows. with numbers the way they are i dont see that happening.
This thread isn't about raising the prizes. Op is suggesting a different tournament. There is already a 7K added tournament so thats not much different. Don't know if you are suggesting a big buyin tournament nightly, in addition to what's already there or something else, but imo a weekly big buyin would be nice, but I don't think it would get much more interest than the small ones that are there already. I don't know if Zab is interested in making client a bigger room with more traffic, if so he could start adding something like this, I'd make it gtd instead of added so he's not just pumping money into it. A 25 dollar gtd (12.5K pts) with a 500 buyin would only need 25 players for Zab to break even. If that took off then a 25K pt gtd for 1000 buyin, still would only need 25 for him to break even. Just don't think Zab is interested in working on growing client. But to answer your original question, yes, I'd like to see bigger tourneys in client.Quote:

Right now there is not enough traffic on the site to support more client games, at least not traffic that participates actively in surveys and such. It is fine to say ZAB should do "this" or ZAB can do "that", but he doesn't just create points out of thin air, they have to come from somewhere. One could argue that if he added more games or larger prise pools more people would come, I have made that argument myself in the past when we were on Carbon. ZAB's response though has been that that simply isn't true, and frankly as I observed in those Carbon games, he was right.
Edit: I'll add that there is a Sit'n'go 1000 point game in client that almost NEVER gets played. Why, because there are far fewer people then you might think who have the kind of points one needs to play that level of buy-in with regularity.
Edit 2: In fact it seems it was played so little that he just flat out removed it.
deja-vu all over again
wow You are about the only one that gets what im saying. Im not asking zab to put more money in to more tournaments. If he adds some more that would be a plus. I dont want him to change any of the tournaments that he has now, just add a few big ones for client player that want to play a much bigger game. Some of us users do LLBs bigger than what the prize pool of the add tournaments. All i was asking for was input not a bunch of negative response. If he adds 1k buy in with 100 rake he losses nothing but a little time to add the tourneys to client. And to TONelson response. client is just now starting to come to life. We all use to play on carbon and so on. now client is acting as the main room. you have to have tourneys to play if you want people on. If not you just look at a screen to wait for a freeroll. I made this post so if zab seen we could get I know 15 people in a 1k buy in. You want traffic? You have to create a reason for traffic!Quote:

Just curious does anyone know if Zab has even seen this thread, because we should probably suggest these ideas to him, not each other.
great suggestion, but like many others it will b ignored or excuses will be made.
numbers do not need to go up to cater to the people that want to play higher buy in games
Zab does not ignore great suggestions. While the numbers don't need to go up to add these games, the interest of members does need to be there, so far just madjek and j4ime are on board, but j4ime doesn't count as he doesn't have the points to play, he had been in default for like a year now.Quote:

If he would just add a couple gtd tourneys and use the tricks that the delaware poker room uses (they have same problem with lack of traffic) and just make the min. number of entrants close to what he needs for it to break even. For whatever reason people see gtd's and have more interest than a non gtd tourney. In fact, every tourney on delaware site is gtd, there is a late night one which the gtd is less than what the pot would be if min. number entered, so pointless gtd, but people want to see a gtd. So if he just added a mtt, not counting towards promos, just a tourney for 10k pts gtd and made buyin 900+100, 10 player min, he can't lose, even with 10 he is getting in fees what has to be added to reach min.
Question is does zab have any interest in trying to increase traffic in client? Not sure if it's worth the trouble, but this would be a start.
I know Zab probably can't do this...but here's another idea to increase traffic:Quote:

So what are those two groups of people constantly looking for on this site? BCP/ACR, and to some extent SWC. If there was some kind of alternative prize on top of pts, I think more of the people that don't usually enter the client at all might consider it, because im pretty sure if top prize in any of these tournaments was points AND X amount of BCP (X = entrants), you would see those numbers skyrocket.
Prizes such as BCP or anything like that is not an option at this point.
Thats what i figured...so how about this: there are a lot of things people can redeem here - why not have a special tournament for a paypal/gdmp redeem? I know that people can do the redeems for points, but from a marketing perspective if people saw the actual $$ amount they could win it might draw them to it.Quote:

Poof I think it would be also a good idea to get more members to play the Ring Games so that the Rake Back generated could be used towards creating more tournaments, I would be in favor or creating at least 1 PL Omaha Tournament because more of the people playing ring games are playing that.
i express my vote, If there was bigger client tourneys id try to find a way to play, 5$ of pts MTT BUyin,
IMO id like it better for higher buyins, it wouldnt make it so hard for me to gets pts, i do not like cash game i like mtt
Yes, we need a big client freeroll. Like 5000 or 10,000
Yup..
