The Weekly FLO8 got 20% more players today because of DST. Can you make that change permanent and set this 1h ahead (once CET also switches)

I think the Weekly $82 Horse & Weekly $82 FLO8 also got higher numbers. Letting them run 1h earlier means quite a significant boost for those small field MTTs.

Once Europe also does the daylight saving switch at the end of the month I'm sure the Storm will be back to normal.
Unfortunately the late Weekly MTTs (Stud8, Horse but especially both FLO8s) would then return to low numbers. Hence why I asked to move them 1h ahead once Europe switches so they will permanently benefit of higher numbers.

I like the KO background as a reminder. exceptthe left side graph, which is a spark or something. it seems redundant.

could you use the improved deep turbo structure on the $11 SM sats?
this one is the old one, missing the 500/1K and other blind levels (under 10bb if u late reg it)

Grinding a lot this month I've been thinking quite a bit about the new schedule. Basically for midstakes grinders there aren't much attractive NON-TURBO timbeys after the b55/11r at 9pm. I think the schedule would greatly benefit from some more interesting non-turbo's (bigs and hots preferably) around/after that time. I think adding a few more bounty builders would do really well, maybe preferably 6max as well. There is imo not much reason why you can't have some of the equal buyin bounty builders at different timeslots. You could maybe give it a slighly different brand name, but adding like a 55bb, 33bb, 22bb, 44bb etc would benefit the schedule greatly and it would also give the regs more of an incentive to keep regging past that b55/b162 timeslot. Plus, if you have more good non-turbo timbeys around that time, people will fire the late-night turbos more frequently as well. It's a shame that at peak hour almost all the bounty builders (except for the 109) have a buy in < 7.5 imho.

If I look at the schedule now, these are the interesting tournaments from 6pm (b22) till 10pm (b162)

b22
(h11)
b109
22fo
(hot 16)
22 6m prog ko
b11
109bb
(h82)
b55
11r
(27 tko)
(h55)
b162

that are like 8/9 (b162 is not really midstakes anymore) interesting non-turbo tournaments during peak hours. pretty meh for the leader in the industry imho

I'm looking forward to the new schedule Luke

My only complaint with the current schedule is there are way too many short handed games popping off after the Big 162

there's the 82 4-max at :45, the 27 turbo 6max and 55 6 max turbo simultaneously, then a 27 hyper at :45!

It just becomes madness once you factor in the Weekly 6m, Sunday 6m, and Supersonic are all going on around that time too.

I think it is a good step.

I wish Pokerstars could do more. for example, give us the option, when enabled, tables with different speed, slow/regular/turbo/hyper turbo, automatically show different color for the background or header.

the amount of turbos on stars schedule is ridiculously high in comparence to other providers.You can easily end up playing 50%-60% turbos on stars if you dont pay attention.
Especially after big162 the schedule is just completly terrible.
We need more regspeed FOs during peaktime and after (more than 2h gap from Big162 to BB82)

I always put turbos in a certain colour, would be great if we could determine these in advance.

Giving us a tool to personalize these to various types of Bigs, Hots, sats... would be pretty awesome

The schedule is so much better in the DST period, it needs to be made permanent.

Hey! How is it determined how many "places paid" are shown in the info tab. I've noticed those numbers get quite confusing in satelites...

please fix this, the info in the info tab is actually very valuable, but it can get super costly if the info is wrong/inaccurate... I suppose "places paid" is still scaled like it was back when the "ticket bubble" recieved all the ramaining money and it was not split amongst multiple players...

Would it be tecnically possible to further specifiy in the info tab like " 2 target tickets, 5 places paid" ? that would be awesome...

If X= (number of players winning a seat)
and Y= (number of players getting a split of the remainder cash thanks to Stars' new policy of chopping this money up into tiny pieces)

When X<Y, the info tab will display "number of places paid" as Y.

This is clearly ******ed, but Stars show zero interest in fixing it.

luke, could you please give a statement on this?

right now the info shown is just plain wrong. It is wrong info in a place where people are made to believe the that the given info is reliable by naming it "info tab".

This is just not acceptable, it can have rather significant real money implications.

Seriously, remove the places paid info for satelites if you are not able to fix it. Better no than wrong information!

e: ty ostrich for the explaination, so what you are saying is that the info tab shows "3" because 3rd, 4th and 5th place get money and are therefore counted as "places paid", but only as long as this number is greater than the number of target tickets?

it's pretty ridiculous to not have it fixed yet and even more ridiculous that it's not even at a high priority list to get fixed, and barely addressed by the reps even though we've mentioned it a bunch of times...
i gave up on that a while ago, just don't use the info tab anymore on sats, and if/when it gets fixed, hey, that's a nice 'bonus'
