Re: ***OFFICIAL Stars 2012 MTT Discussion Thread***

Definitely not a fan of 2 x 15 minute breaks. OK, 5 minute breaks may not be ideal, but at least it means we get 5 minutes to walk around etc every hour. With your proposal, I'd be sitting in front of my screen unable to move for up to like 11 hours at a time, losing time bank when I go to the toilet/get something to drink/get water.

I don't think he means that the 5 minutes breaks should go, but that there would be a couple of 15 minute breaks mixed in there. But -1 on this also since I think recreational players would hate it.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Stars 2012 MTT Discussion Thread***

ya i meant mixed in. I always assumed that re players want the 15min break like they want one at local casinos. If this isn't the case, then by all means i enjoy the way it is.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Stars 2012 MTT Discussion Thread***

ahh fair enough. not sure how easy it would be to add it in tho, I think recreational players would be more annoyed that they've been playing a tournament 45 minutes and its gone on a 15 minute break. and wouldn't really be useful for grinders if it didn't go on a break after 45 mins as they'd still have tables going

Re: ***OFFICIAL Stars 2012 MTT Discussion Thread***

Bryan, I just noticed that the weekly $215 PLO8 had it guarantee dropped from $16k to $10k. I believe it was previously was as high as $25k pre black friday and then dropped to $20k, $18k and $16k.

This drop is just MASSIVE and IMO has resulted from the newly added $55 PLO8. Do you think it would make more sense to move the $55 PLO8 to a Sunday and keep the $215 PLO8 guarantee at $15-$20k?

At the moment, the following tournaments are running on Saturdays and I'm not so sure it's good for the long-term viability of the game:

12:00 - $215 PLO8
12:15 - $16.50 PLO8 turbo 2x chance
13:15 - $55 PLO8
14:35 - $55 PLO8
15:35 - $109 PLO8
16:30 - $109 NLO8 (gets very few runners)

Would it be possible to move this $109 NLO8 to Sunday and rebrand it like the Sunday $55 PLO8 (red tourney) and even consider changing it to a lower buyin and a turbo? A $55 Sunday NLO8 if you made it at like 3 PM (since players who have already started their sessions wouldn't mind playing a turbo that would only last as long as 3 hours).

Yeah, I just remembered there are a few 10.50 and 21's. Thanks for the reply.

could we get these as sngs?

Will the Spanish Stars client be free for players with a European bank account to register on like Stars.fr?

Very interesting idea... and I agree that it could be quite useful. Forwarded to our development guys for their consideration.

We have had such tournaments in the past. They have ended up getting removed due to cancelling on a consistent basis.

Changes to the guarantees are cyclical and there's always a drop required at this time of the year. In addition to the normal reduction in players at this time of year (mostly related to the weather), we have the added effects of the Euro 2012 tournament and the removal of Spanish players from the overall .com player pool.

Sounds like a good idea, though when im 30 tabling i dont want 30 sound effects for every break that ends. Maybe a sound effect at x0.00 for when the first toernie might start again is better.
