So 350 players went back the following day and were able to register for a game that said you can't register for it and were fortunate to have discovered that yes, now they were actually able to register for it, LMAO. I'll still take a pass on it. thanks.
I have a question (many actually but I'll stick to just this one at the moment).
I'm curious as to how it is decided upon to add games to the Cash game lobby. I personally play 'Z00M-style' cash tables (fast fold games, 'Pace' on WPT, FastForward on Partypoker, ZOOM on Stars, Rush & Cash on GGPoker, etc. etc.). On ALL sites they have 6-max tables. WPT has 8 man tables, with strange blind structure. On all sites you're able to play at least 3 to 4 tables at each buyin level (so you can actually play as many tables as you want if you spread it across multiple buyin levels... the majority of players are playing 3 to 4 tables (which can be observed in the lobbys). WPT limits you to just 1 table. I can understand why if it's in hopes of keeping the site orientated towards recreational players (but actually I am a recreational player too, but just happen to prefer more tables). But still... this is fine.
I've tried the other formats on WPT but I'm really REALLY not interested in BOMB Nlhe, or BIG Ante NLHE ... I just want to play NLHE (preferably 6-max) and that doesn't seem to be available at the limits I prefer to play at (typically 25nl 50nl & sometimes 10nl).
My question about the 'Pace' format on WPT is, what limits does it play at?
So far I can only see this:
0.02/0.05/0.10 where it buys the player in for 50bb's. (so I guess this is 10nl). Peak traffic time = 117 players
1/2/4 'Yuan' which converts to approx. .10/.25/.50 (so I guess this is 50nl) Peak traffic time = 130 players
$1/$2 Peak traffic time = 0 players (<< Yes ZERO players on those tables)
$2/$4 Peak traffic time = 0 players
So it is basically 10nl, 50nl, 200nl, 400nl
Why not have 5nl tables, 25nl tables, & 100nl tables? (at least run 100nl tables and then maybe you'll get the 200nl tables running. Not many players will jump from 50nl to 200nl, just as most won't want to jump from 10nl tables to 50nl tables. fwiw, 25nl tables are a popular buyin on the other sites.
My next gripe will be in regards to how the lobbys are laid out (really poorly organized, tables aren't even listed according to increasing buyin limits, instead they are just mixed up amongst each other (you can have a 10nl followed by a 100nl and a 10nl after that.
Right now I have checked off 'Micro' limits in the filter tabs. The Lobby has 100nl Pace tables now showing grouped in with 10nl Pace tables, along with 40nl Bomb tables, 20nl, etc. And funny thing none of the lobbys/tabs have ever even shown 100nl Pace tables for me before now (and of course there are also ZERO players on those tables as well).
I have no doubt if the lobby was set up in a more organized fashion, AND if you had graduating limits (and more of them), the tables would attract many more players.
I've played a few hands on the site now and I still have a near impossible time trying to navigate the lobbys on the site. Now translate that to a new player who is just starting out? And now think of one who hasn't played on any site before and how quickly they will become lost on the WPT lobbys
