Online games no longer have a benefit to anyone playing them ....
If they were to mean something they would become popular again ..


Only have to look at the numbers playing the Melbourne Super Stack game .

I know it is not a 888PL game , but i have sinit with 300+ runners quite often ..


Daily Satellites to ME ticket events would be cool ;)
When choosing between the 2 evils , I like to choose the 1 i haven't tried yet !

State final qualification is a bigger driver than 888pl care to recognize for the average pub live player ( the very same player its recent live push is encouraging). The main event is a good goal, but state final success is an achievable one. (To achieve peer recognition, not have to travel, miss work etc...)

Yeah Jo, The games like Jo Mack & latenight deepstack used to get V/G numbers when there was a prize that made people want to play them. Make these games cash prize & a step game to the S/F's.

I think I know what could improve this situation...How about 1 or 2 on-line tourney's a week that the winner qualifies into the Monthly Winner's Final?? This still feeds people towards the Main Event, but will also generate a couple of decent on-line tourney's per week. Make it a $5 - $10 buy-in, and you might have a real winner... I was thinking a game like the JMACK grind for instance?

I am sure there are other ideas out there but this is mine. Pretty simple, but think it can work.
Step 1 6 events a day based on entry $2.50, $3.00 and $5.00. (2 games each buy in)
For every $15.00 in the price pool you progress to the step 2. (Games played Mon- Wed enter Thurs step2, Thur-Sun enter Tues Step2)
Step 2 is played on Tues and Thurs (Direct buy in $15). For every $60 progress to step 3. (So 1 in 4 progress)
Step 3 is played on a Saturday (Direct buy in $60).
On the Saturday Winner gets guarnateed $120. For every additional $120 players progress to the final step 4. (So 1 in 2/3 progress)
Step 4 is played on the 8th of each month (Direct buy in $120), so will be a different night each month.
As the step 4 is only double the step 3 amount, will mean that there is a larger field playing for the main prize.

By having a great chance of progress to each step, will encourage players to actually enter the early steps to save money, but also make people think spending $60 and getting odds of 1 in 2 of progressing to the final step might be worth it, forking out.
By having low starting steps, will mean if only getting 6 players a game, at least 24 players qualify for Step 2. (8 a day) At least 10 for step 3. (5 a day) And by having step 4 only double step 3. At least 16 players in Step 4. (4 a day) Generating Prize pool of nearly $2000 each month. Payable as Main event, live poker etc...

Just an idea am sure there are others out there

I like your idea sunbury, but i think you can do without 1 of the steps

This is my idea

Step 1 - either 1r or $3 or $5 games, that generate step 2 tickets. 1 ticket guaranteed. These run multiple times per day

Step 2 - Nightly $20-$25 buyin that has 1 ticket guarenteed to the step 3. 30 mins before the step 2 tournament, run a super turbo step 1 for $3 or something so people can try to qualify for the step 2 game. If required, this game could be ran as a single rebuy game like the current ones for the AM.

Step 3 - Weekly $120 satellite to the main event, with 1 ticket guaranteed on either a saturday or sunday


This is very similar to the current Aussie millions satellite structure that 888 have at the moment (except they have a $525 step 4). I think it is an excellent structure, and i think it would be perfect for 888pl to run this.

I think the 3 steps could work.
hopefully the new system will get some people back playing.
