oh look, a properly visible €11 deadline sat to €700 EPT MC qualifier - I wonder if it would reach 5000 cap creating 71 entries if it wasn't 30 seats gtd. Why not slap 1 seat gtd like you always are?

This is what we're talking about when mentioning fixing satties, most major events throughout the week should have similar. So more and most importantly faster, it shouldn't take a year to implement.

Let's compare $8.80+R+A 11:30ET with $11+R+A that starts 12:15ET (so 45 minute difference). The former got today 1899 entrants creating 38k prizepool with 6,1k for first, the latter 1161 creating 30k prizepool with 5,1k for first. The buyin difference is marginal as well as the starting time.

The problem is this $8.80 cubed has had mistakenly for third sunday in a row $25k gtd on it. It has 12k on all other days, please lower it to match the rest of the days, this should fix the disproportion between these two tournaments on sundays. Thanks.

^^

not mistakenly tho

A couple easy improvements for the Sunday schedule:

Change the $11r 20k Gtd to $11 Sunday Rebuy, $50k Gtd

Change the $109t 30k Gtd to The Sunday Turbo, 100k Gtd

The $109 turbo already gets 90k every week without a red title. The $11r used to get 40k easily on weekdays so 50k would be no problem, could honestly be changed to a 100k gtd after a while when people know about it.

100/200 with no antes should not exist in any tourney!

you can include steps here , would love if antes kicked in at 50/100

I don't see the issue in tournaments with 10k starting stacks.

not a single good satty to the sunday 500, just doesnt seem possible

the suspense is driving me nuts! really want to see what this new layout will look it

Yeah

some 27 deep turbos midweek would be great.
Or 22r/39r freezes with decent structure.

yeah and 82 turbo deep or turbo with 2500 stack would also be awesome.

proof is in the pudding bryan. increase the 8.80r at 3.30 uk time, will easily reach 50k if you put 25k on it weekend 15k weekdays. 11cubed after big 22 could be really massive if you gave a healthy guarantee. stick 25k on a sunday and see it triple.

there are simple unexcusable changes that need to be made asap.

also agree with more red sunday rebuys. comon already.

109 2r1a currently 10 left no h4h

seems to be a problem here, guys, can you look into it pls

The Old Giant is moving slowly.

But certainly a great +1 for 50k (would probably even handle 100k$) Midnight Sunday Rebuy (the 16:00 ET one 11+R with current 20k$ prizepool). I might very well play it if I don't have too much tables running in Sunday and still too much energy left. And nowaday I play 0 NLTX tournaments regularly in Stars(.eu) because they simply have nothing worth playing left. Other sites have it so much better.

E: Including Stars.fr. I even play there rather many tournaments occasionally, but mainly when starting my grinding earlier than regularly.

Getting 100k with 100$ BI should be piece of cake as a red tournament on a sunday.

Ss6 for sat president

the 33$ 3,5k GTD at 09:15 ET need a raise at the gtd, i doubt it has ever get less than 5k

We apreciate your concern, please comeback in one year time if you dont mind, and maybe then, it will be suitable for a increase

told ya'll that **** would grow slightly and yet still pretty much never breach a 500 player field if you removed the 500 cap :P make it a 5k and itll prob get 300 runners every day of the week

I have a question. Why don't all the tournaments start with antes from the start? Neither amateurs nor professionals like playing with no antes. I think it has stuck this way just because it's the way it has always been done. You could deepen the starting stacks to make up for the additional variance that comes with antes and the tournaments wouldn't last longer.

I also think that the schedule should have less tournaments but have bigger guarantees and re-entries possible for most of them. The only positive point I see for expanding the schedule at the point it is now is to get regulars to play more tables. Well, while I understand this point, I think it is not the best way. You could expand the SNG offering (45-90-180-360 man) which has suffered for years now because of the expanding of the MTT schedule. If you get people to play more SNG MTT instead of MTT, you would rake more per hour, regulars could add more tables more easily and amateurs could play for small (SNG MTT) or long (MTT) sessions as they please.

People play MTT for the thrill of winning something that is meaningful (in terms of money and accomplishment). That might be my personal opinion but that is how I got hooked at the beginning and why I prefer MTT over other forms of poker. I do not get the same thrill from winning a small tournament (accomplishment wise). It would be nice that MTTs get back to some kind of "fame" about winning such and such tournament. I think you are doing a good job on the BIG/BIGGER/SUNDAY/... but that there is just too many tournaments at all levels.

Just my opinion, cheers.

Monday and friday needs a special nlhe tourney and we've been asking for some improvement for rebuys for a long time now.

It would be a perfect spot to have a red 55 rebuy on monday and a red 109r on friday..

Just replace the 55r 8k gtd with a red 55r 20k gtd on monday, and the 109r 20k to a red 109r 40k on friday...Pretty sure they would be very popular and crush the gtds!

* 109r 20k gtd got 36,5k prizepool today on a Monday, so it would be no risk for overlay if you make these changes!

we all agree. yet, nothing will be done

i know there is already a lot of Prog KO mtts, but i still miss one $8.80 prog ko.
Maybe u could fit one in the changes u r about to do.

the $22 6m psko $3k guarantee has $22k+ on a very quiet monday we should raise this to 10k minumum stars

that one is sort of defendable since it recently got transformed - but stars please don't take 6 months to improve the gtd, things don't need to 'settle down' in many cases.
