Gonna throw a spanner in now - seven nights in a row for these series is pretty heavy going. I think it would be better if there were fewer games or some gaps in between. Loving the Hi-Lo, Stud & Heads-Up. Maybe the Six-Max and the Rebuy could be dropped.


Agree, i love all the games but it is heavy going time commitment wise.

Alternatively, keep all games and have just top four counting for POTS scores?

Anyone can make the big bet if there is a pair showing on 4th.

Only top 5 scores count (8 events in total), although you get a guaranteed point for playing, which isn"t capped.

Yes I know. Most hardcore will try and play at least 5 events out of the eight ... still time consuming in one week when there"s homework to help with and dinners to cook (especially when you get in at 7pm from work with a 7pm kick-off).

If all events were kept but only the top 4 count (just dropping it by one), then that helps during the week whilst still giving everyone a good chance to qualify for the awesome extra added value that POTS gives  ;D

I love these online champ games, the variety is great and would hate to lose any of the Side Events ... just putting it out there that maybe dropping to 4 top scores qualify may help ease the pressure a bit for those who have week night commitments ... plus still keeping most people in the running for the leaderboard throughout the week.

I think whatever the schedule is - it will never suit everyone. ( i.e I don"t finish work till 10pm Tues & Weds)
Changing things in the future may be good for some but it would hinder others.

Which is why keeping the schedule and side events exactly as it is but dropping the amount of top qualifying results to 4 (instead of 5) will hinder no-one but would benefit more :-)

I don"t think top-5 only has any effect. Someone would have to score points in 6 out of 7 tournaments for it to be triggered.

Top-4 only would probably have no effect either for the same reason.

Just thought I would have a quick look at how the heads up goes tonight, have not been able to play these although will play the main event. Is it really winner takes all tonight like the lobby says or is that wrong?

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

That"s a lobby display error unfortuantely :( I assumed it would be fixed in the most recent update, but clearly hasn"t been.

If you look at other lobbies, they almost all display 100% for a few seconds before correcting itself to display the full list. For some reason this one is stuck on 100% all the time tho.
