Why does 888Poker choose to use such a terrible structure in their 1 monthly biggest freeroll? (the $25,000 Fantastical Flames Freeroll that played today).
Only 30 mins into it and all stacks were under 10bb except 1.
These were the stack sizes:
3.8bb, 9.1bb, 3.3bb, 6.6bb, 3.6bb, 3.7bb, 21.8bb, 4.5bb
Seriously... this ^ is ridiculous. What could possibly be the mental reasoning behind choosing such a terrible structure for this game?
I thought it through while attempting to play it.
- have the game finish as quickly as possible so that players will jump into other games once they're done
- ??? (< couldn't think of anything else)
This is flawed though, instead they should structure the game so that 888 will increase the player traffic!
That freeroll had a decent prizepool - - 1st = $2,500+). If it LASTS LONGER... players who are playing in the tournament will then (most likely) be firing up more games from 888poker to play at the same time as they're playing that $25k freeroll.
ie. for myself, after getting donked out at the 30min. mark, I just closed the 888 site and moved on to play on other sites. (might I add... 'after feeling a tad disturbed with the structure being so ridiculous' I was more than happy to close the site and move to other sites with better games).
888poker offers more freerolls than any of the other sites these days. Why not use that money to increase player traffic? Isn't that what they're for?
At least make the Monthly Freerolls (the ones players need to qualify for) better structured.
That game today (the $25,000 Fantastical Flames Freeroll) was so stupid I probably wouldn't have played the requirements to gain an entry to it.
I'm curious as to why 888 admin./marketing, etc. doesn't bother to access (& IMPLEMENT) the ideas from their Stream Team sponsored players? I know they talk with them but I also know they don't bother to listen. The site (poker) could easily be made so much better (
EASILY MADE SO MUCH BETTER!). One has to wonder why it doesn't happen.
