Also what about a weekly 50 or 100 cubed major with a nice guarntee, think monday is a good slot , Call it the MONDAY CUBED or somthing, would be nice to have a non turbo deepstacked major , structures on ftp are way better than ps for most reg speed mtts, (5k starting stacks etc)
It's an interesting idea, however we don't have any plans for any new overall brand umbrellas right now. We'll see how things go in the new year...

It's an interesting idea. I know that others are talking about some pretty interesting Phase stuff for the future, but I can't share any details of it just yet...

Def should put one or two low/mid reg speed betwen 17h and 19h ET. I every ***** day quit my session in hot 44 because havent more MTTs, only a 4q, a crap mtt since stars decreased the gtd.

A 33$ or 22$ FO in 18h ET is a good ideia and another for 17h, maybe a 8r or w.e
12-11-2014 , 01:53 PM
It seems like a really bad idea to show all in equity or is it just me? What is the thought process behind it?

Why no response to this bryan?????

Thank you Bryan for bringing the $215s Weekly back and finally giving them a smoother structure!
It's awesome news!

Let's see how they do at the new time slot...

It depends who you ask. I think it's great if I'm Amaya. Recreational players will see how bad they are getting it all-in and then they might get a little better. Them getting better = more people paying more rake and then someone profits... Nice little freeroll for Stars.

Can we admit defeat on the $55t ante up and make it an Ultra Deep Progressive SuperKO since those seem pretty popular?
12-11-2014 , 08:52 PM
ye shower the ante up, add some worthwhile tournaments to the schedule.

Bryan,
Thanks for adding BB500 to kickoff, its a nobrainer to add it in the daily tourneys listed above aswell! Would be much appreciated!

Yes huge for these tourneys please do!

nah less levels means I can actually win a tournament, don't add anymore levels

I'd even argue the 10/20, 15/30, 25/50 levels should be 20% antes for every tournament.. it gives everyone a reason to play pots.



KO hour:


Day 2 of this KO week and i really love it. I usually am all for the regular red freezout that has a big gtd and brings all the fish. But you can only have so many of those and all of these KO tourneys seem fun and are attracting big fields.


So i am suggesting 1 or 2, "Knockout Hours" that consist of some KO tourneys of diff variants in the $11-$109 BI range. Mainly turbos but maybe one solid reg speed. One KO Hour starting around the 265 KO and one sometime after the B162 giving a real nice reason for people to reg through the nightly.. Id make them a diff color than the typical reds.



Running it more than once:


Why dont we do this? I think fish would love the idea of having more sweats and more chances to stay alive. it also helps lower variance a bit. Another cool addition to this idea is that i thought we can use the Spin and Go spinner that would determine whether we run it once, twice, or three times. Can easily market this as some big Run It Red tourey



Featured Table:


K this is a long shot but maybe someone can get an idea from it. I was thinking that just like live, some tournaments can use a featured table. It becomes a diff color... there is some online team pro commenting on a stream and whole cards of everyone are delayed. Again something stars can market or even use in their poker school thing




k thats all i got, any of these sounds appealing (was just brainstorming a bit)


I like these ideas, especially the last one, so cool!
12-12-2014 , 07:40 AM
Feature table for the Million / Super Tuesday / SCOOP etc is a great idea
12-12-2014 , 08:48 AM
doubt most players would be happy letting their hands being shown/talked about weekly though

I think the same.

For example, after three hours... before: 500/1,000... now: 300/600. Enjoy, and let me know what you think after playing this coming weekend.
The sats for the $215 are not there.

Edit: after some discussion, we've decided that for the Weeklies ($82 and $215), in Omaha, where we have an Omania structure to use (PL/NL), it makes sense and is consistent to use the Omania structure and go with 12-minute levels. Thanks for pointing this out, b_jia.
Ok I just found out where I was wrong, the things is the Omania NLO8 uses a different structure from the Omania PLO and PLO8, so if the Weekly $82 and $215 are copied from there they will be different.

Is this how it should be ?

Different structures for NLO8 and PLO,PLO8 ??

What I wanted all along was for the PLO and PLO8 to be the same as the NLO8, and that's where my original question came from on why they where different and if they could all be like the NLO8 (without the antes of course)

That's probably due to the way better structure it has compared to the PLO and PLO8

Bryan, please have a look at your re-entry tournaments award structure. Currently prizes are awarded based on total entrants including re-entries, they should be awarded based on the total unique entries(excluding the re-entries) as it was the case during 2x/3x tournaments. If you ask players who regularly play re-entries tournament, most of them prefer the old prize structure(when you had 2x/3x chance tourneys). I also made a thread on this comparing the old prize structure to the new one. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...cture-1494464/

+1 prizes that are less than you bought in for would be quite common and is always frustrating

that is a bad timeslot for a midstakes deepstack as it would run for hours past the nightlys. Definitely needs to be a 55-109 deepstack somewhere early in the schedule though.

also can't comprehend why there isnt a mid-high daily prog ko. the format is obv ridic popular.
