*** OFFICIAL PokerStars MTTSNG Suggestion Thread ***

I think the 15 second timebank for all turbos should be reduced. Right now with the vast amount of regs mass tabling and using table ninja on timebanks I feel the game has never been slower. Playing a few tables of this is unbearable waiting in the first blind level for a minute for 7 people to autofold, a casual player will get bored of this quickly.

Even a 2-3 second timebank reduction will increase the speed of the game, make it more exciting for everyone, and make 30+ tabling profitable only for the games finest (good players edge will increase.)

While I agree on games being extremely slow which leads to fish losing motivation/interest, I disagree on reducing the timebanks for all players. I think the upcoming individual table restrictions Steve (or Stefan) mentioned the other day will be a better solution. In case this is going to happen in not too far future there's no need to touch the timebanks at all.

Btw Walmsley, are there any plans on ZOOM 180s, or ZOOM SNG/MTT in general, or will ZOOM be restricted to Cashgames only?

"Individual table restrictions"? Cliffs? Or link to op?

Table restrictions seem an ineffective, illogical idea. I hope it doesn't come to that.

If anything would benefit going back to the old way it would be 18/45s, not 180s. Changing from 15-30 back to 12-33 is nothing. Also blind structures are way better with the extra level or two they have now. I would say to add a $50 180 though for peak times. Not SIXTY...FIFTY.

No chance imo. They tried it before and everyone went mental. Games are fast enough with the new lightning fast animation speeds, raking pots, dealing cards etc.

I'll do my best to address the various concerns and suggestions raised in the thread. I can already see there are some interesting topics for discussion. Sometimes the response may be "Sorry, we can't do that" but I hope players will prefer that response to none at all.

This is likely to be said to just about everything. imo these threads are pointless because you lot never listen anyway and when you do change something it's something that not one person has mentioned anything about! ie $300 18m...like wut??????

THE most important change needed imo is the leaderboards, badly. If you refuse this then you may aswell just gtfo of this entire forum, harsh but true. Perhaps 180's could have their own individual one, I'm not sure. But if incorporating all mtt sngs together then a way of devising points needs to be FAIRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

[JD Klinkz]

Tbh i just think that the 180 BI's need to be scaled a little bit better. I've mentioned before that a rebuy would solve a bit of this but there is room for possibly a $4 hyper perhaps to fill a gap between the 2.50s and 8s.
Not sure how it would run tbh but i imagine fairly well.

[vanBasten]

PLZ for regular 45 man s&g plz add more levels there are just 3:
$0.25 - $1 - $6

Add:

$0.50 - $1.50 - $3.00 - $5.00 - $10 - $15

TY

Max Table Caps
We have been briefed about plans to cap the maximum number of tables. If you keep timing out and frustrating other players by acting more slowly than the average player, Stars will reduce the number of tables you are allowed to play. If you are playing 24 tables and acting much more quickly than the average player, you may get a max table increase.

See bottom of 1st post here:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...eport-1159145/ <- DO NOT POST ITT

Dunno if that's about cash games only, hope not since playing less than 10 SNG tables on Stars is a huge pain in the *** iyam (even turbos), I can totally see how fish lose interest in those games - and we need the fish (at least I do). Someone constantly annoying players by running deep into timebanks on 40 tables (only to fold in most cases ldo) really should be restricted to say 34-36 tables; this can only be good for the game. If said reg uses to time out a lot (which he might not even notice) the restriction will not even hurt his hourly, at least not significantly.

Care to explain?

edit: topic should be discussed in a separate (zoo) thread imo

[tomsom87]

Ideas ive seen so far that I like:

180man leaderboards (with a view to banning the players who end up on it)
8r turbo 180mans
Im not sure about the fish losing interest cause they have to wait a few seconds, they seem to love it when the bubble approaches

Also the sunday shutdowns are annoying.

When your capable of playing 50+ tables a time why would you want a restriction, what would you do in your spare time?

It is an INDIVIDUAL restriction. If you're capable of playing 50 tables without annoying lots of fish by timing out/wasting lots of time you won't even be affected.
