*** OFFICIAL PokerStars MTTSNG Suggestion Thread *** - Page 35 - MTT Poker Strategy

hows this confusing if everything has to migrate to zoom i rather have anonymous tables or no huds. I clearly stated i dont want zoom because it just lowers the integrity of the game.

SNG Regs' solution to this issue is to play more tables to try and make up the hourly but of course this just makes it worse.

LOL what so it's a problem now but wasn't in 2008? In actual fact hands/hr has gone up considerably since all the adjustments made in 2011 with time banks being cut and software sped up to lightning speed. This slight annoyance has been there since the dawn of online poker and isn't going anywhere.

You're implying it's becoming a problem like it's a new thing. It's not a problem and doesn't need fixing. Fish became used to it eons ago. Zoom SnG's will never be overtaking 180's so keep dreamin kid.

I've got no vested interest since 180 mans aren't and Zoom MTSNG wouldn't be my main game. Stars are gonna trial Zoom MTSNG eventually and the previous indication from Rush-OD on FTP suggests the recreationals will prefer them. All this reg-hate for Zoom SNG is just pointless.

Why not switch the $8 and $15 180s to 90s during off peak hours to help get games running. Right now at 9:54pm there is one $15 running and no $8 running. Stars must do something to get these games running again.

We plan to show player lists in the main lobby for tournaments with up to 45 players. This should be in the next client update.

The MTTs have the leaderboard (which is pretty much impossible to climb when only playing MTTSNGs).

I would suggest removing all MTTSNGs from counting towards the MTT leaderboard and instead counting them towards a new system.

Ding ding ding.

Can you address this idea please Walmsley? It has been mentioned countless times itt. What are your reservations (if any) about adopting this idea?

PS Walmsley can you please answer the following questions:

1) What thoughts/discussions have taken place on the subject of SnG leagues/revision of BOP and how soon may changes be implemented?

2) Has any thought been given on slightly changing 180m payouts for there to be a step up from 16th to 15th and 13th to 12th? (I'd like to add that such changes WOULD NOT result in the earth falling over or worse yet, players going elsewhere).

And the deal btn. This thread is really frustrating. So few posts actually get acknowledged. The general pokerstars improvement thread is so much better.

it is kinda ridic at the amount of posts that actually are getting over looked or not being responded to. For quite a while now people have been asking about 180s/45s leaderboards, 500/1k blind level in 45s, different 180 payout structures, the deal button, zoom sngs etc etc. I don't tend to agree with some of the things being suggested, especially zoom sngs but it would be nice to actually see some discussion from stars and what their stance is on these things.

Any comments on the suggestion of adding breaks in non turbo 18-mans? It's a really good idea.

I have already asked Stars, only I was more interested in the reg-speed 11/180s

Peak time only games are not running today because it's the Euro 2012 final and so Stars have designated it as off peak. I think we can expect them back as usual next week.

OTOH, there's plenty of overlay on the schedule
