Yes it would, except it would pretty much never run.

Heads Up Zoom MTT please.

Sadly this is true.

you dont think 22/33/55 would run with 3k stack/10 min levels?


i tend to think cubed turbo 180s would go a ways to revitalize sngs

make them some variation of on demands even better

make them some variation of cubed turbo bubble dash on demands.... ideal

They would run ridiculously often.

Well, it''s been a while.

I pulled a trigger again: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...hread-1500980/

There used to be a 22$/180 and I can make a guess why it got scrapped.

500

more regular/higher gtd 4max or 3max tournaments

fi' hunnit

2.5max?

a shootout format that switches between 3-handed and heads-up tables?

Certainly. I'll take a look at how it's done over the last month or so, and if it's been performing at a sustainable level which will support a specific guarantee, I'll be happy to apply one to it. Thank you for the suggestion.

We don't lower guarantees after only a few instances of overlay. We lower guarantees on tournaments which are consistently underperforming. At times, instead of lowering the guarantee, we take other action such as changing the broadcasts (announcements), increasing satellites, etc. We don't just slash guarantees every time a tournament loses a single buy-in.

In the case of the Big $75, the guarantee played a part. Having said that, the much bigger part was played by folding the tournament into the "Big" umbrella brand, painting it bold red and putting it in Tourney/Special. The same would apply to the $320 6-Max. That tournament isn't where it is because of its guarantee. It's doing quite well, sustainably. Raising the guarantee on it would not have nearly the impact on it that painting it red would have, but we can't throw a brand on everything... doing so would dilute the value of branding overall.

As for eliminating the word "overlay" from the poker vocabulary on PokerStars (a point you made later in your post), if only that were true... but believe me when I tell you that it is far, far from true. You may not see the instances of overlay which hit all over the schedule, but they are certainly there.

There's actually one which has been in the *very* early discussion stage not long ago (before holidays). I don't expect that it will hit the schedule anytime soon (e.g. definitely not before TCOOP is over), but it's been discussed and will continue to be discussed.

This is a seriously interesting idea. I'm not promising anything, but it's very, very interesting...

I'll take a look at this one tomorrow and see what improvements can be made. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
