sorry for the caps+tilt i didnt sleep well and it cost me $$$ to realize that i wasnt thinking right and cut the session short :~

but there is no reason i can think of that its good for any game to only have one hour of preregistration

hopefully this was just a mistake?



8 hours minimum erly reg for all games on a sunday seems like i should be mandatory imo

This, happened in the last ~10 that were running.

there needs to be a mega to the warmup.

Same for all majors imo. Kickoff, Supersonic and $500 too.

i wonder if this is due to an internal formula that factors in the added bounty on pros...

imo added bounties on pros dont justify 10% rake for a semi super turbo format.

I agree, i was merely wondering if that is the reason for it... whether intentional or automatic...

Glad to see this was fixed. Perhaps I'll now give one a try.

500 chips hypers to EPT and/or national tours main events would be awesome in a degen way. Gives fish and regfish such as myself a decent chance to qualify instead of all the slow structured regfests, which in turn would make the live events themselves quite a bit softer.

Something like a €1k hyper to a €7kish package. Start with enough small stakes/FPP hyper sats to the €1k (something like €11 -> €33 -> €100 -> € 320 -> €1k maybe?) to get enough runners (maybe make them must-play?) although I don’t really think that would be a problem – only needs 7 players to avoid overlay on a 1 pck gtd.

Start them (late) on a Sunday and go from there.

Satelites to the 320 6max and 265ko please. Also more satelites for the sunday500

One of your evening $55 tourneys with a $20 HYPER satellite had about 18 players (top 7 paid).

Players were given 20 seconds timebank initially and then all players at the final table were given an additional 10 seconds.

The time banks at the FT becomes more important than the actual cards dealt. Would like to see a 5 second timebank and maybe an additional 5 seconds at the FT, if it's a must.


Noticed a lot of your satellites are mixed in prize payouts where top player or top two players gets a ticket, with place usually getting a piece of the cash.

Satellites with top two players getting tickets are usually more popular and appeal to multi tablers since it avoids the HU portion.

The satellites with starting 1K chips should be standard when the target tourney starts within a 2 hour window.

Do this for SCOOPs as well, my idea still rules.

the payout structures in small-field sats is irritatingly bad.





just pay one seat, and $22 to second place. Whenever there's money in the pool for x seats with $y left over, pay $y to whoever finishes in x+1th place. Sure, there will be a few exceptional cases in huge-field, low-buyin sats where you may want to apply a flatter structure. But generally speaking, if 11 players buy in to a $5 sat to a $33 target, nobody's interested in getting $4 for coming 4th.

please, this is just silly.

+1 to just silly above, but thats me reiterating a complaint ive already posted about


came here to post:

could you please change sat lobbies to show "bubble +15%" stack sizes and not just cut off at 30 arbitrarily

that knowledge is necessary for optimal decisionmaking

None of the normal 6max satellites have been put back in the lobby today, there are only SCOOP ones. The daily MTTs normally have satellites e.g. The Big 109, or The $40k 109 etc.

Could these please be put back in as currently there are only 1 or 2 SCOOP sats and the Kickoff available.

This is such an awsome idea

Thanks for this... minor slip-up this morning in the satellite (S&G) deployment!

The 18 man Hyper Satellite (top 3 seats + 4th return entry fee) is a great setup.

No HU, no Shootout, and players are willing to register and wait longer to fill up than the 30 man Hyper (Million & Supersonic).

Every buyin is about 20 % of the target to get any tourney in this format. Good standard for MTT Hypers Sats.


I think you would have more volume on the Sunday Storm HYPER if you changed to this format, since 27 players takes a bit to start. Players will find something else to play then register.

Bryan, again this Sunday late reg for a bunch of the 3x rebuys ended before the stated 60 minutes. No idea why.

P.s I am referring to the ones to SCOOP event 2 medium.

I got stuck in a couple of these before and never again! Wasted over an hour and half just to get my entry back. Inside joke was those who actually bought the addon while the reg busted after with only a couple of hundred chips, and got the same payout.

I watch the sats to see if they will hit at least one ticket, or I don't join. Sure there are many others like this (less players, less volume, less $$$ for PokerStars).

Either pay it as 50-30-20 SNG or just split the remaining cash prize 50-50 with the top two players.

this has been complained about for years, if stars even read the chat on the tables they would know how pissed off people are about this

if chat werent turned off once everyone was playing a 4 unit bubble it would be obvious how livid everyone is after playing 30 minutes of rebuys just to get f'ed by a bs structure

please more event 17 sats m+h

can we get some non 215/320 fo sats to the high?

11 3xt, $33r reg speed 90 minutes rebuys, 16.50r rd 1s to 700s

at least 3 a day of each (so theres 2 a day that reg when im playing

More x3 sats to the H superko tomorrow please

i'd dig this as well

Dunno if this is still possible; moar sats for high scoop earlier the day pls, like 4r en 8r, 3x turbo!
