It was $2.20 -> $7.70 before. Making it $2.50 to $8 doesn't really "punish" micro grinders IMO, it just puts them back in the same position as before.

Maybe $3.50s would be a good idea? And if people want to play $1s then they can just play 45 mans.

$3.5s would be a good idea.

dont think 3.5 would be great sinc eits just 1 dollar more than the lowest buyin.
5s were the best solution to make grinders grind up at the most comfortable level. perhaps 4.10 turbos would bring the same effect but 3.5s seem just nonsense to me.
nevertheless i wonder if they are going to put a 21s replacement like 22s or sth. dont like it to remove 21s and make a increase in 10$ => 15$ and 32 => 35. there's just way too much space inbetween
just my 2 cents

This is way better than before, they lowered hourly before, they have returned and probably increased them

if 8s and 15s both run like the old 12s/10.85s in terms of traffic this may be so awesome. still wud love to see some 20s :/

I like the changes, good spaced out buyins. Not too many so traffic doesn't get split.

Having said that the timing is just ridic and the 45man changes are a complete cluster****.

Why 8s and 15s? This is just needlessly splitting up the traffic imo

Better for Reg's like yourself (In terms of hourly etc) but sucks so bad for lower stakes reg's. So hard for people to move up i reckon now, 5's were getting so much action throughout the day + at off peak hour's too, now i think they will go back to how the 7's used to run.

I hope im wrong.

BUT maybe a lot of the old 12 grinder's who were mainly breakeven or shot-taking will play much more at 8's (So hopefuly this will help volume) But in turn maybe harm ur hourly.

ok so i think original 7's and 12's ---> second change 8's and 15s assuming volume runs similar is obviously a good thing.

Stil weaknesses in moving up but i think if you put too many steps in the volume gets too badly affected
