    I think FTP should make the Brawl, early $150, 750k gar, and the Mulligan multi buy-ins every sunday. Or at least twice a month. Insane that first in the brawl was nearly 400k, while the major was almost 5. I dont see why they dont do this more often, I mean they're getting more rake so it would make sense. And to all those people that claim that its giving pros an "edge"on the other thread, get over yourselves. There are 10's of thousands of people in these fields, it's highlyyy unlikley that the same name will be at the same table. People should be happy that the prize pools are 10x what they usually are. And I would be happy if FTP stepped up to the plate and made this happen more often.

    P.S. double gar week should happen more than once a year as well.

    -vent over.

    definitely think at minimum they should rotate a major as a MET every week. Same thing with the daily schedule, have a couple tournaments converted as a MET every day.

    this.

    very reasonable for us lowstakers and will give big fields/prizepools desired for highstakers.
    upcoming ftops with up to 6 entries will make for masssive pools. gonna be amazing to watch

    I agree, but I do think every sunday would be overwhelming and too much, and rather the idea of rotating 1 major a week as MET (between Brawl, Double Deuce, 750k, Mulligan) is an incredible idea. That, or just do one sunday every month or two that is exactly like yesterday with METs in all big guarantees.

    If they were to turn one particular Sunday tournament into a permanent MET, I would nominate the 3pm/8pm 150$ or the Double Deuce. Maybe the 100r turbo 9pm, but I think that'd be better off as a Rush instead of MET. And yes to all the stuff bout rotating it on the daily schedule as well, nice to see 24$ tournies get over 20k to first.

    it should be all MET for the last sunday of the month, that seems like a nice compromise

    leave the 3 majors as they are (brawl, 750k, mulligan), and create a new mtt major as MET. not everyone wants/can spend 1k in the brawl, 750k, or mulligan to have to play them. also, at some point the fish realize they are at a huge disadvantage in these things (all anybody really has to do is go look at the tourney lobbies from this past week and see how reg infested every mtt was deep in the tourney) and eventually will stop playing them...

    was anyone else sad when they went to reg today, and the guarantees were cut in half, and u couldn't enter 4x... sigh... i wish every week was MET DG week :(

    they should make a new $26 every hour with a ridiculous guarantee and make it MET... a boy can dream

They were still soft with a ton of idiots. This is good for us. The people who are complaining are the guys who usually take a shot into majors they aren't really rolled for. Now you're for sure aren't rolled for these games if you put in max entrys. Even more then one is a stretch if this is the case. If you aren't rolled for them you prolly shouldn't be playing them.

    I think both the brawl and 750k should be multi entry.

    I just feel like you can add without taking away. I like METs and will play them in the future, I just don't feel like they have to change the existing majors. I would imagine if you take away double guarantees the fields in them will drop. I played both the Brawl, and 750K simply because 1st place was so much, but I doubt I would play them consistantly. I would bet it they would get the kinds of fields the $150+ rebuys get in time.

    FTP should stop putting the Red names on the top of the METs. I can see this scaring off fish. When you have 10-12 red pros registering 4x-6x for a tournament I think it can be pretty intimidating regardless of how good the said red pro is.

    Yeah props to FTP for coming up with the double guarantee promotion. Really been fun for a low-dollar donk like me to play for a decent cash prize without having to cripple my bankroll to do so.

    This is the obvious answer, if FullTilt want to stick with METs, create seperate tourneys, then everyones happy.

    Also agree with Marks other point about fish getting sick of getting screwed every week, partly because they cant afford to enter mutiple times.
    Im not suprised most of the top players like METs, their a big +ev for them.

    Agree!

    I ran horrible Sunday but I loved seeing how big the prizepools were. It was actually very frustrating (worst day ever to run absolutely horrible). But, I still profited from ME week.

    Great idea. I'd say the 150 and the 750k at a min should be multi-entry every week.

    I think there's no reason why they shouldnt make every daily $26 mtt multi entry. ALL of the late morning/early afternoon 26s were paying out 15-20k every day which never happens, and one of them (I forget which 1 cuz I slept thru late reg ) maxed out on entrants and paid $46k or something ridiculous like that to first place.

    Make em all METs

    Pretty sure a bunch of high stakes guys aren't rolled to spend 150k a year on two weekly tourneys...

    Maybe every Sunday is a stretch... All I'm saying is that these prize pools were amazing and I'd like to see them happen more often. To make my comment before more realistic, I think a better idea would be to rotate between the 3 majors every Sunday (Brawl, 750k and Mulligan.. POSSIBLY the early 150 to make a full month rotation) I personally only bought in twice to the majors so i didn't spew buy ins. I also noticed that the pros were wayyyyy more aggresive in the earlier stages, as they bought in alot and were trying to get stacks. Every major is 100% to much... but one a week is a different beast entirly... I mean, just take out a few tournies from your normal rotation on Sunday and replace it with another major... I dont see whats negative roi about that. Thoughts?

    I like the idea of the 3pm $150 being the MET major. Just no reason to put the 3600 player cap on it like they did this past Sunday...
