Structures for hypers & turbos are actually abit better, unfortunately all hypers are now 6-max which is pretty crappy. Please bring back the 9-max hypers which were hugely popular.

+ Bring back the HU mtts!!!! Why have these been removed?? They were popular and several hyper ones ran successfully throughout the day ...

No man,
Reg speed its NONE, put back 2.20 + r, 3.30 + r, 5 1/2r 1a, 8.80 6 max turbo, 13.5 ko, 11 reg speed, 5.50 reg speed, etc let the ante from the first level with 5k starting chip (non rebuy) rebuy tourneys 3k starting chips, 10 min blinds
Hypers are ok
Turbo its not turbo...u say that u have 5k starting chips with ante from first level but now a turbo ends at the same time with a hyper (last structure), sry but that is crap

I had suggested Luke not to remove HU mtts. There were 18 hu tourneys in the old schedule. I also felt 6 ante up tourneys was too much. Could have added couple of ultra deep stack tourneys and cutting ante up tourneys to 4.

Majors still missing an ultra deep stack hyper turbo PSKO tourney. SCOOP preview had this tourney and got more than 3200+ entrants(as much entrants as a hot $7.50 gets) even though there were no sats to it and it wasn't announced well in advance.

This schedule is horrible. Lots of people just lost their jobs and don't even know it yet.

How about you fix the regspeed tournaments and instead introduce some new tournaments with an actual semi-turbo label and 7-8min levels? This way you leave it up to those rec players to decide what to play, since you love to argument with their playing experience.
Right now regspeed structures on Stars look almost like turbos on Party...

not telling you how to do your job, just a bit of a no brainer traffic for guarantees taken from a normal monday will be much less than every other day imo. monday is the least played day by all regs and recs in most formats. ud be better taking the average from monday to friday for your datat then u have some days that have more traffic (tue/thu) and days that are quiet (mon/wed) will give you much better data.

hoping to see the bounty builders and bigs and hots change on monday

This

Can you be more specific? What exactly you don't like about this new schedule?

I think he reffered more @ structure of mtts more than the schedule itself..And i think he s right, especially regarding micro and low stakes regs..Basically people that made 4,5$/game, right now will barelly make 2$ since there are basically 2,3 reg speed mtts outhere..

Based on your latest post, it seems like you're clearly ignoring the fact that many players are unhappy with non-existence of regular speed freezouts at micro-low stakes ($3-$15). Please at least acknowledge if you are not intending to add them back to the schedule.

#FixTheBigs !!!

So I haven't checked in on Stars for a while until today. Summing up it looks like schedule is nice but nearly every tournament is at best a semi turbo cutting already tight rois further?

Why are people so upset about a slight increase in speed of the big tournaments? Isn't the gutting of the rebuys a bigger deal for you professionals?

I'm a casual player.The only rebuy I played since the changes in structure(1$ splash) had a structure that was not only way worse for regulars but also it just wasn't any fun to play. At least the bigs have some play left in them, this rebuy did not. The rebuys used to be my favorite tourneys.

On top of that it seems they removed a lot of the rebuys. I'm not a professional player but it was fairly obvious to me that even after the rake increases of rebuys these kind of tournaments(rebuys) were still WAY more profitable than the BIGs and the structure changes to the bigs are a lot smaller than the ones made to the rebuys. The rebuys simply have no play left in them and just not fun. The addon is like 3 big blinds. I doubt a fun player would enjoy playing them. This seems to be a bigger deal to the tourney ecosystem than a slight increase in speed in the bigs?

What am I missing?

These payouts just make it pointless playing micro/low stakes mtts now.Its so hard to beat a field of thousands and now when you do you are not even getting a decent prize compared to what it use to be.

If you want to play more volume with fast structure and less levels go play spins.

cliffs: Bigs are confirmed turbos

Hi, this is my very first post on this forum. I registered today in order to say my opinion.
Beeing a low stake grinder, as so many others i was totally shocked yesterday when i opened the software !!!!

I used to play some bigs but the chances of getting in the real money are too low and involves too much gambling imho. That's why I prefer from far the standard normal speed tourneys up to around 1000 players , which have lower variance.

AND WHAT ????? You deleted all our good old 4,40 8 max, 5,50, 3,30 and 8,80 ????

Frankly WTF ??? These tourney had a (close to) perfect structure and length in order to play real poker.

Now: ony turbos and bigs + stupid crappy formats for bingo players. And that 5000 chips stack for what ??? To give the impression we get more poker with one dollar ??? JOKE !!

The site used to look like it was'designed for good poker, now it looks like it is designed for gambling and donk play.

The software nevertheless remains excellent, so I won't leave PS instantly. I hardly only played on PS but what is clear ils that I will study other sites in order to see what they offer.

As many other players here, i don't like beeing taken for a fool.

In b4 we have 100 big per day that are all 6-max hypers with 2min levels that pay 20% of the field.

Could we have more info on the new pay out structure ?

In some of my tournaments yesterday did not see any real change, still around 15% paid and almost double the buy in for the first ones itm.

Did see a HUGE change in the 320 though. First when the late reg closed we were only 20/97 and 18 players were paid (^^). 18 out of 97 is too much imo. But the main issue was that the first itm were to win 370. A x1.2 pay out is... sick ! We choped in the end but without a deal the winner was still getting a comfy 7600.

Btw and just for the record, the BIG i played yesterday lasted 7h15. I agree it's shorter but there were around 650 players so I think it's still a pretty decent running time, and it is definitely not a turbo. A turbo with 700 players (a "HOT") would , before the changes, more likely have lasted around 4h30. Still 8 hours would be nice but 7h16 is not AS BAD as every one seems to think it is.

Why? Spins are very much different from mtt's, a lot of people (including regs) actually prefer faster formats (for obv. Reasons like higher hourly etc.).
Don't get me wrong I do like having 'regular' mtt's, most of my volume comes from them, I just don't really care about a couple tournaments playing out a bit faster. Once again everyone acts like the sky is falling when really, your roi is going to drop by a couple % and your hourly will stay the same/improve.

Having said that, I still believe bigs should be deeper since 16bb ft's are just ridic, make them like the current bounty builder structures, they're great.

would reeaaaaally love a sunday deepstack in the 33-109$ range, copy the triomphe structure from .fr it's so dreamy.

12:00-15:00 CET seems like an ok slot, just make it early.

also change will always trigger negative feedback, ppl like what they have and are scared if it changes. what really worries me is the big # of ppl signing up or having <20 Posts being very unhappy. you don't just have to make regs happy, seems like the micro/mixed games crowd hasn't been considered for feedback.

agree on overall structure overhaul and payout structures obv, both very ridic.

Whats there to like? Amaya made schedule for exactly what they needed to make more rake. Regs are gonna have an endless turnover of tourneys with these structures. Not to mention half the tourneys in the schedule seem to be PKOs which, with their specific wild play, increase turnover even more. Also the non existence of any good low-midstakes schedule makes players have to play higher just to get some tables.

The only thing they really screwed up on is not having more tourneys with such a high turnover rate existing in this schedule. I'd be shocked if 75% of regs weren't looking everywhere for a tourney to reg at some point yesterday. You'll start to notice when 3 hours into your grind that your already at your average daily buyins from the schedule before.

If you guys think writing here and complaining is gonna do anything, I think your mistaken as well. Amaya has no reason to care about regs. Big enough player pool in the world that people will have no choice but to play stars and recs will always be on stars. They will probably keep someone around to blow smoke up our ass tho, convincing us changes will be made for us in future that we will like, that will never come.

We live in a capitalist world, and we as poker players are now finding out just how good we had it before. Dont expect things to get better, because that would just be naive.

Not gonna edit this, had 5 mins to write it on break.

oh forgot, they also took money off final tables.....also good for recs, shocking. Nice of them to create the illusion to recs that they are winning, when they are not.

Sunday marathon is in the client might fit the bill

wellll guess I have to check the schedule a bit better first thx
