*** OFFICIAL PokerStars STT Suggestion Thread ***

[Pokernubz]

I think the really cool thing about BBFG's lottery suggestion is he says in there,

"where you get a lottery ticket for every 20 raked SNGs you play until a certain point where you would then get once every 100"

Take this concept even further, and make it, 10 lottery tickets for the first 50 games ( 1 lottery ticket per 5 sng) and then once every 50 sngs after.

Create a new graphic for lotteries in cashier; -people love the green bar in cashier, ( i know i do ) it's fun to earn rewards, you could add another tracker for "next sng lottery ticket"

I think this would draw a ton of new players to play at least 50 sngs a month, and some may get into a routine where they think, i gotta get my 50 sng's in this month to get my "easy" lottery tickets. If this was promoted in the news, it would easily draw new players to sit and goes, you have to remember guys, a lot of people don't even know what a sit and go is, but when there is a huge promotion in the news that says "Play Sit and Gos, earn lottery tickets" even if a bunch of new players don't know wtf a sng is they will know what a lottery ticket is and will likely be interested.

I guarantee you the lottery thing would bring in new players, and the bop improvements are neat and smooth out a fairly broken system. That may not be the answer to bop's current problems but it is better then any other suggestion I've seen, most people are just complaining about it. (right fully so)

Yea agree, people aren't really going to notice these new games right away, especially as PS isn't advertising them . I've noticed a small pool of fish in the $100 6m turbos that seem to play 1-2 at a time, haven't seen that many guys just play 1 random game.

Overall the $100 6m look like I expect them to be, lot of 5 and 6 reg games, have gotten maybe 6-7 4 reg games in so far in my small sample on my 1st day back on PS.

I accidentally regged in 2 $100s the first day they were introduced and both had 2 fish in them. I am really surprised regs are actually mixing these in while 20+ tabling though. A good player that is only playing a few 100s is going to be able to exploit that.

there are plenty of players that were forced to grind 7$ for months lol and they dont have 10-15k to jump into 30$. while they would insta jump into 15$ cose they still will be soft and wont require 500 buyins... 200-300 is enough, so thats 'grindable' on 7$, while grinding a 30$ bankroll is several months work assuming no cashouts.

+1 Perfectly explained.

i dont understand either why there is no 9man 15$ hyper
traffic at 30$ isn't enough, again bad decision....

Not that hard to figure out...they didn't want to kill $15 turbo 9man action. They run about 7-10x as frequently as a $30 9man turbo pending on the time of day, so why not add $30 9man hyper

Be happy they added any levels at all

jdawg listen to urself, seriously u got a problem.if u think getting crumbs is fine then keep the thinking and dont actually voice it here.

walmsley,

if u want to be friends with me, which is obviously the only fulfilling lifechoice for you, you will have to stop ignoring me my dear.

at least do something and please make them lolsevendolares plo hypers 4 times reggable at a time as it is for that game with 2 cards.maybe that will improve volume a little bit and i will tilt less because im 1tabling for hours bec im busting so quickly.

that plo section is so frustratingly leftover to die

Clown, can you find incentives to drive the traffic in the reg/turbo speed PLO
instead? A hyper plo sng makes no sense...in short stack nl it's easier
to make a mistake and much more enjoyable to sweat in a hyper format.

I would be happy for something ([promotion) to drive deep plo sngs properly into the market but
save the PLO hypers for the sportsbook.

Email stars with the tournament ID, if there actually was something shady going on they'll take action.

The $1 goes to instant win prizes you can get when you win the SNG, hit quads or a straight flush, lose a bad beat, etc.

This is a really good idea imo, It is interesting and fair for everyone. Maybe like if you hit a royal flush you get half the prize pool, straight flush 1/4 of prize pool etc etc. Bad beat jackpots seem to work nicely to, but whatever it is, every $ needs to go back into the player base.

Just my 2c
