Yes, it would be nice to see more games, especially those that you cannot find at Party.

Suggestions:

1. Triple-draw lowball
2. Razz
3. Crazy Pineapple
4. Five card draw (high)

I would also greatly appreciate Dealer's Choice games. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

All of these would be nice, and also Badougi.

I realize it would require more programming effort and resources than some of the other suggestions in this post, but:

Spreading Triple Draw would be great, as well as dealers choice games.

Implementing a draw engine in the software would also allowed you to spread draw high as well.

Draw high generates decent traffic on Pokerroom and TD a fair amount on UB, especially at the higher limits, so it's most likely a propostion that would prove beneficial for you as well.

Razz would be nice too which I imagine would be much quicker and cheaper to implement as you already have the stud engine in place.

Your ear to the audience is quite incredible I must say, props and thanks for listening.

Yeh, I guess it depends how many of these events actually run. If there're 20 a day, then it could easily skew the weekly TLB ratings somewhat. Only the top 10 rankings for the week count, and if you win 10 of these things, you'll have 2526.6 TLB. 2430.65 won last week.

It'll be interesting to see once the week's up.

Yesterday, twelve of them started in an hour. So I would say the players seem to appreciate the format.

Let's hope they are a succes and that they start spreding them at some other hours as well so we europeans get a chance to try them (yes, I know, we area pain in the a**, but we pay rake as well).

Yes! I'd never have to play anywhere besides Stars if they spread some 5-card draw and triple draw tournaments.

I'd like to see some $1/$2/$3 PL Omaha/8 MTTs. Lee, you may drop the limit Omaha $1s if you make them PLO/8.

If you added S.H.O.E, H.O.R.S.E or other mixed games pokerstars would instantly become my favorite site.

Spreading TDL over a bunch of limits would def be a good idea. there will be plenty of ppl that would play the high level tables and i would think many of the ppl that came to the site because of NL holdem would go try the lower TDL tables to get a break.

Also give u one more thing that party doesn't.

I hope they spread them at other hours too... These would be great to play during off-peak hours when there aren't any other good tourney's to be found. Although I'm sure they'd fill up slower at like 5:00 am, I'd think that Stars has enough traffic to keep these going on a fairly regular basis 24/7.

the reason the 20tbale sng's r not a full spread is because star probly just wanted to see how popular they would be at peak hrs, and then can guage how they would do if they ran the full day.
i'd be surprised if they r not running full time within 2 weeks.

I'll be off work for a few days this week; I'd love to spend the afternoon playing a few of these :-)
