$55 40k gtd should be marked as Sunday Edition as well since it gets a prizepool boost over its normal 10k gtd.

Think the minimum amount of players for 215r should be lowered, bit of a shame to see it cancelled today as it would had gotten pretty huge once people busted their SCOOP events.

More than doubled its guarantee too

$11 at 3.00 server time also changed to a PKO, think it will be a good move, should get more players registering in what's usually a deadzone

Please extend late registration on zoom tournaments and add a $27 red daily zoom at 6:45pm et. Should be a popular day saver.

05-25-2015 , 10:50 AM
Time for Biggest sunday?
05-25-2015 , 10:58 AM
Welcome Luke

Please make it a priority to fix the schedule I'm the European morning to lunch.

It's been mentioned a million times over the years and nothing has been done!
05-25-2015 , 11:07 AM
The Big 215 could easily take the slot of the warm up Monday-Saturday. There seemed to be some consensus on this.

hello luke, gl in your new job. This was accepted by Steve and it was going to be implemented after scoop. Please do it, it will def work with a good and reasonable gtd
05-25-2015 , 02:40 PM
So there is the Supersonic on Sundays at 23:30 GMT

Is there any chance of having a "Semisonic" at roughly the same time?

There is a $27 Hyper $15K Gtd at 22:45 GMT, double that GTD on Sundays and watch it boom! Don't even have to create a new tournament either!
05-25-2015 , 03:01 PM
Hi Luke, I think the Sudays $82 PLO and NLO8 Progressive SKO's could really bennefit from an improved satelites structure, maybe similar to thet of the weekly $82. Currently all they have are 9 $11 turbos with 10 min late reg.

Maybe you can put some rebuys, $27, and some other stuff

Yup. I absolutely love playing rebuys. Yes, they are long but it's exactly the deep aspect of those games that I enjoy. As stated above, I just wish the prizes were higher. I know we can't really compare but I remember the 5R being like 30k for first pre black friday (I'm sorry if it wasn't that much but you get my point). Did poker really change that much to the point where the same tournament is only 8k GTD now? I'm pretty sure Stars could do something about it.

I remember years back there was multiple vanilla 3r and 5rs a day paying up to sometimes 10-12k for first but putting smth like that in to any timeslot now would prolly result in a massive drop in revenue, so sadly i doubt those are coming back.

Shame though as it was one of the best online poker advertiesment ever, buyin for 3$ 4000x it up by night playing for 10 hours straight in one tourney, not to mention the novelty of playing deep all the way (so the skill-poker or w/e)... Some guys i knew havent even played anymore since those got taken out.

I still think that PSKO with Rebuys would become hugh. I also think that ~13-14 % ITM is not necessary for PSKOs.
Better make it like 10 % and increase the other payouts.

Pretty disappointed in the Stud and Draw week promotion.

Compared to the Omaha weeks that ran in the past, there aren't many opportunities for players to try out these games.
You are giving out players 5 x $1.50 tickets which can only be used for SNGs. This could have been much better planned if there were $1.50 MTTs that ran every 4-6 hours of each variant and players could try out the games in a MTT format where they have a shot at turning their $1.50 into $100 rather than the $5 a STT SNG pays.

Also, it would have been a lot better to juice up the guarantee for the $27 Red Tournaments (Stud, Razz, Stud 8, PL Draw, NL 2-7, FL 2-7, etc) with one tournament being highlighted each day with a 2x guarantee.

On Saturday and Sunday, it would have been a no brainer to increase the guarantees of the $82s as well since participation will increase with the $100 random prizes being awarded.

It's probably too late to change it now, just some food for thought. The current promotion does a poor job of promoting the games...

The reason that happened isn't so much the reduced playerpool as it is the addition of infinity other tournaments. There's a big or hot mtt every half hour now, that gives no chance for any rebuy to thrive. Few casual players will choose the 3r over the big11. Or the 55r over the big162. I absolutely loved the 3r with over 10k up top, but I'd be curious to take a look at what the schedule was like back then. I'm pretty sure much fewer mtts and way fewer mtts with a specific promo on them.

So the thing stars can do about it is delete a bunch of tournaments, but I doubt they're gonna delete the big11 to revive the 3r. The only really successful tournament that I can think of that isn't labelled in any way is the 1r 3xt at 8:15 cet, but even that one has shrunk a lot lately.

Totally agree with this post. It's not players that don't like rebuys, it's just they haven't been given a fair shake. Take any non labelled tourney on Stars and tomorrow make it red and don't change the guarantee and within a week the prize pool will double.

Why haven't rebuy tourneys gotten any labelling? Instead we've seen a massive amount of new tourneys added to the schedule all labelled in red and for some reason they all seem to be turbo's or PSKO's or a combination of both. These tourneys are far more profitable to Stars then rebuys. And all of them will take players from other tourneys scheduled in similar time frames.

The line that players don't want rebuys is absurd. Pokerstars doesn't want rebuys.

Time for Zoom Hypers to be introduced.. should be pretty decent..
05-25-2015 , 09:37 PM
So no high stakes saturday 2-day event until after the summer, tough bryan said it would be implemented after scoop. I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind this..
