Pure Poker Wednesday's : Freezeouts and New structure being trialled today on partypoker.

In line with trying to improve player experience partypoker are using the same structure today that the WPT National $1100 buy in main event will use in May. Whatever your bankroll - $5.5, $22 or $109, you can test this out at 7pm in the Jab, Contender and Uppercut.

Players start with 200bbs, 30K chips, 75-150 level, a starting ante of 25 will mean pots are worth winning for the start and all MTTs will finish 2-4 levels earlier. This structure still has 1 additional level compared to the original $10,000 buy in WSOP 10K 25-50 structure but that doesn't make a huge difference to the finish time as the antes will balance this out.

If this is successful we will look to reduce the late registration period on MTTs over the coming weeks as players [less short stacks] start registering earlier and enjoying the MTTs from the start rather than 20% of the field not even bothering to enter in Level 1 [which is current situation everywhere - not just on party].

If you have time tonight - please support me and partypoker for taking a stand and trying to improve the quality of MTTs which in turn will bring new players into the game if we get this right.

At the moment MTTs are horribly sluggish, 80% of players don't even bother to play from the start, MTTs finish so late that nobody who has to get to work in the morning can realistically play, all these bad changes have been made by operators to hit guarantees at all costs regardless of player experience.

I can only do good things for poker with your help. If you really want a level playing field [no re-entry] and MTTs that designed for the players - not just to hit guarantees - you need to show your support.
