looks great, except one thing

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE ANTES IN ALL 6MAX OR FULL RING HOLDEM GAMES.

the main event with 20 min levels and no antes will be extremely painful and boring. pretty much every self respecting NLHE tournament in the world, both online and live, will have antes kick in at some stage.

i see that there are antes in the deepstack game, which is great, but having them in the high rollers, 6max, and main event would be great too.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

no file attached glynn. excited already though. might have to make a return to online poker me thinks.

[Glyn Parsons]

I just attached to the post, sorry missed it the first time.

[maccatak11]

cheers glynn, looks pretty good.

i agree with benny the cunt though that antes would be good in all events, especially the main, and there will always be a few dead stackers when satellites are run to get into the event.

otherwise looks good.

also, i havent played one of these on 888 for a while, but im guessing the heads up tourney is still a '2 max' or is it a heads up shootout?

[Glyn Parsons]

Correct it remains a 2 max format for now. We had 81 runners to this event last time so i expect to see the same showing. Whilst its not a true HU Shootout event, it still makes for a fun and unique event on the schedule.

In regards to the antes, i will follow up on this and see what i can do.

Looks great Always fun!
