I pm'd shawn about this thread and he said he would like to see u guys reply
Do you play the 5,6 or 7am mtt's at UB

Now that UB has $1 and $5 100 man sng's, I think it negates the need to have the smae priced mtts' at 5.6 or 7am which rarely get more than 100 entrants.

What do you think of the idea of having omaha $1 plo rebuy and a $5 omaha 8b permanently at 2 of the three times and at which time would you like to see each game.

I have pm'd this idea to both Shawn and Annie so if you like the idea add your thoughts please.
Also what do you think about having a $5 or $10 seven stud or stud 8b at one of these times

Turbo rebuys for WSOP seats and $1000 mega seats.  If the levels were like 8 minutes that is probably better but who has 6 hours to invest to win tournaments.  I am not saying that all tournaments should be like this but it should be an option and it would be popular.

i love the 5 am omaha's rather it 5.50 or 1.10 i always make it a point to play i wish they had those a bit earlier i find myself staying up just to play omaha

think they should offer at :20 past the hour omaha tourney every few hours or sumthing

I put this back on front page cos Shawn is interested in feedback on this timeslot
Please remember that these timeslots never get more than 200 entrants so we're only looking for thoughts on $10 and under mtt's
Who would like to see a daily omaha plo or 8b at one of these times

I would love to see a $10 to $50 (I prefer $30 but would play $10-$50) stud tournament between 8am and noon.  A higher level NLH MTT would also be nice during these times.  I agree with the other responses that the low limit games should not be removed. I have played in some on the lower limit NLH tourneys in the morning (because no higher limit is available) and there are regular devoted players that should not loose out to higher stakes players.

I like all the ideas coming in. I play almost exclusively on UB and have been for over a year. I would love to see the $10 rebuys to the $215 events that I heard were coming up soon as well as $10/20 rebuys to the $500. In addition, I think there is a need for at least one more 100+9 megasat to the 500. Anyone who goes out on a Saturday night is forced to Qualify through one of the cheapies that usually pay out one seat. I'd suggest a start time at around noon on Saturdays or 9ish on Sunday morning.

One more thing- your guarantees really need to improve- without taking risks UB is not going to be able to compete with the big boys. For example the $7500 guarantees have to go up to $10000- the last 3 times it's run it had over 90 players in it. 10k just looks more respectable and I'm sure an added $2500 to the guarantee can garner 5 people. I think this applies to almost all of UB's tourneys. You guys just aren't taking enough risks (although I do like where you're going with the rebuys). Guarantees are regularly being exceeded by huge amounts. Why not up them and draw more players?

STFU beanie you entitled to your opinion as long as you dont say it out loud.

BTW the proble is not that there are turbos but just that there is nothing but turbos.

Shawn, what face said

MT Heads Up Sngs for all levels, they would cause a storm and how about a nightly $5 MTT at about 7pm-8pm EST they would get in loads and loads of players, u add these as well as a few low buy in PL omaha n Omaha 8/b and maybe stud and it'll be better.

But im routing for the heads up tourneys n multi heads up sngs n step sngs. PLEASE!!!

This suggestion isn't even for only the mornings, but for anytime in the day. What happened to the 7-Card Stud tournaments you used to hold about once a day? I would love to see that come back.

Also, I would love to see a HOSE or even HORSE tournament. I know that would probably involve a lot of programming to get working, but a couple other sites do offer that.

Thanks,
Card Mann

hi there,

i would love to see higher buy in events then the ones they usually have.  I would love to see another $30, as the 8am is too early for me.  Anything that ranges from $20-$50 would generate 50-100 people for sure.  They could always keep the smaller buy in ones for the players already dedicated to it.

thanks.
