MicroMillions II (July 2012) -- Discussion Thread

[intclock]

wow this 3r action hour is playing slow.

5.5 hours in, average stack 80 bbs, still 600 from the money. lol postflopaments.

[HsinYi]

The MicroMillions II tournament leaderboard is not updated on pokerstars.com
Is there any way we can find an updated one? The current page shows leaders for the MicroMillions I.

[Mrsbutton]

Is there anyway to stop this stalling Agasajo is late reging and then stalling every hand till the end. I can understand if it is close to the money but this is ridiculous. It is totally against the spirit of the game. Maybe change how the leader board is scored so there in not such a huge % of points given for min cashing.

[The Nemesis]

was there a specific reason for the unusual structure in the 3r today?

[3N1GM4]

Has anyone else noticed that the Leaderboard is now showing as only paying 50 places? It was 100 places yesterday?!?

Please be aware that last year the top 100 were paid in last year's MicroMillions 2
Tournament Leader-board, this year the structure was indeed changed and now the top 50 are paid. We apologize if you see this as an inconvenience.

We do welcome your feedback in regards the change and we would like to remind you that you still have time to rank in better positions.

If you need further details, please feel free to visit the following website.

The page that link points to is the very same one which said 100 places paid only yesterday! Have replied to this effect, pretty strange for Stars to take this route IMO - am I completely missing something?

Greetings from PokerStars.

Your email has been escalated to me as the support supervisor on duty.

As you have mentioned, due to marketing purposes the top 50 places will be paid according to the MicroMillions II Leaderboard this time around and not the first 100 places as in March, 2012.

Please note this leader board was not updated until recent days and the information was not the correct one for the relaunch of this promotion and its new leader board structure.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused but we hope you still enjoy taking part in the newest edition of MicroMillions, and the chance to be crowned MicroMillions II Champion.

Does this seem totally unacceptable to anyone else? I can't believe that for the sake of 10k in tickets Stars is going to move the goalposts while the series is in progress?!?

Nice one Stars, knew you'd do the right thing!

Never mind the WCOOP tickets, I want to know why there are no Micromillions hats for each of the event winners this time

Hats are indeed being sent out once again.

Loved the series, would have like to see more PLO, and why not put on two levels of Micro Millions, similar to the three levels in the Scoop's etc. It just seemed like the usual schedule with bigger guarantees and more NLH events, and of course wonderfully big fields.

Would have loved to have seen a $22 PLO Championship event, same for Badugi etc

But great job Poker Stars, you smashed it, when does the next one start!!??

[furo]

i hope everyone had some fun and maybe won some $$$ playing
