Re: Number of Registering Sit & Gos on PokerStars

It IS a bit ridiculous how cash game players get mad once and get a meeting with Stars and lower rake, and SNG players have been complaining about high rake for years and get ignored, or rake increased in case of last year . But what are we going to do?

Personally I helped in the strike to unite the players. But we got nothing in the end so maybe I shouldn't have...

The funniest thing is that when cash players planned a strike stars said that that is taking it a bit far and that it is much better to have talks about it.

We already know what happen when you ask for something in a civil manner like SNG players did. We get totally ignored!

The timing of adding new hypers, if any, is unrelated to the timing of a server restart.

Ha me too... well I got limited to 1 cash table if that counts.

Edit: I think they have already made the decision not to bring out more hypers

Hey Steve,

Is it possible you could give us a timeframe for when a decision is made on hypers?

from reading the post on 'changes' made in late december i got the impression an annoucement would be made by now.

Thanks

Re: Number of Registering Sit & Gos on PokerStars

Just wanted to pop in and welcome Walmsley. Thanks for making this thread and getting our feedback!

I don't have much to add as all my peers have voiced my same thoughts. It looks like we're all more or less on the same page. It's nice to see the SNG community get their act together. I'm so frustrated reading about the cash games fighting over every little nuance. Well done SNGers!

Oh, I thought the idea below was fantastic...

Re: Number of Registering Sit & Gos on PokerStars

Pretty silly to stop 6m hyperturbo lobbies 105 minutes before the server restart. Is that really necessary? You could stop em 35 minutes before server restart too and have a 100% chance no games are running anymore.

EDIT: it's now 90 minutes before server restart and all games are done.

PokerStars Stefan has been posting updates in this thread:

From Stefan's latest post
"We hope to be able to roll forward all affected tournaments in which case players will be credited without needing to send us any emails. Players will receive a separate email for each tournament that has been rolled forward with details of the payout."

Its a technical problem with one of the servers, which we are trying to resolve at the moment. The reason that SNG are affected is that they are deployed on that server.
