Ultra Derp

Can we get on demand satelittes in the regalar schedule (not hypers) TY

Or may be not

Indian photoshop gave it away

Nah m8 we dont use photoshop, we use ms-paint. Cost effective you know

I saw the derp had a different font, but I was asking about the 1M thingie.

the 44 turbo prog that stars at 16:30ET should start 10mins later so we can jump in with a decent stack in the break

^^ this !

those $27 sats on demand for the sunday million anniversary were quite popular (not just on peak but any time of the day)

sunday million barely hits the guaranteed nowadays and summer is coming !
... but I'm sure you would prefer just to make it re-entry.

also will need to lower the number of players to start at 18 or 27 and don't set the guarantee just for the starting players - many will late reg.

can try at least $27 on demand - 18 to start - 3 seats gtd.

I will never play on Saturday on Stars ever again.

How does it play the rest of the way? Would adding a couple levels at the beginning significantly change the average stack? What about longer level times toward the end? This tournament lasts seven to eight hours each week which I think is a reasonable amount of time for the usual number of entrants, but I have no issue with making it a bit longer for those who are fortunate enough to go on a deep run.

Which change do you think would work best?

My logic is pretty simple: if recreational players like the format, regulars will like it as well. So far, it hasn't played out that way in the Saturday majors. It has not been long enough to say whether or not it is because of the format itself or because recreational players are not aware of the change. I'll give it a bit more time and if it doesn't work out, it will change again!

I was working day and night getting SCOOP ready. Maybe you were pissed because you missed me? Distance makes the heart grow fonder…

I've confirmed with our Senior Manager of Responsible Gaming that this is still the case.

You say PKO was the worst thing to happen to MTTs, but countless people clearly disagree with you. Bounty Builders are the biggest of our three red brands. The only reason this is possible is because players speak with their bankrolls.

There is a reason for this! If you look at any completed tournament in the main lobby, you'll see that it shows the prizes of the first nine positions. If we do not have the penny in the buy-in, it will show every player in the tournament in that space. This is what caused the client crash when attempting to open the TCOOP lobby. It will be fixed the next time the .COM client is updated, which I believe is next week. Once the clients have been deployed, I'll remove the penny from the buy-in.

I would like us to take a closer look at making the event 2-day next year. It would be a slight improvement from a player perspective, but also a better experience in terms of content. It is stunning to me that 10,000+ players had the final table open at 9AM GMT! We should make a bigger spectacle of it.

There is little I can do here besides changing the tournament to 2-day. The tournament ran for 15 hours and 40 minutes. Players were acting very, very slowly towards the end as well. The change to 15 minute blinds had little to no noticeable impact at the tail end of the tournament. The pay jumps are just too big!

Regular speed ones would have to be spread a bit further away from the target. On-Demand satellites far away from a regular schedule target might have trouble starting. Do you have any suggestions in particular?

The $27 On-Demand satellites to the Anniversary Million were popular solely because we awarded nearly 40,000 $27 tickets in the Sunday Million Spin & Go and this was the only place to use them. If I deployed them now, I wouldn’t expect them to be very successful. I’ll consider it, but I’d like to explore other ideas as well!

Hello Luke, nice to see you again.

I think it's been mentioned before but can we please get a decent satellite schedule for the Sunday supersonic? Even if it's just 1 or 2, I don't see why people wouldn't play them.

Please consider this. Thank you.

@Luke: perhaps, some recreational/regular players enjoy the PSKO format more. Does this not create a subtle message "regular freezeout poker is not fun anymore"?

Do you have any data that not running PSKOs for a day would deter people from registering altogether? ie people will not play on PS just because there aren't progs. in the schedule.

Scoop ticket sats are doing great.. maybe convert step sngs to on-demand or something (Def convert star coins step sngs to on-demand). Not sure if step 2+ sngs even run anymore.

Do ppl still play step sngs?

These have ancient rake of 75+7 which is even worse than when they were invented considering top-end rb is so much worse now. You're paying nearly 10% rake in tough line-ups in 40 minute full ring tourneys with a flat payout. Plus whatever you decide, if you win something you pay rake again. I love the concept of regging a few 100 step 1s and running it up, but it's just not worth it until they make it 5% rake or less. At the very very least they should be raked like a 60$ full ring turbo sng, which is 55.56+4.44.

I can't imagine stars makes more off these right now than if they were more fairly priced, but I'm not holding my breath on positive rake changes at this point

I meant the on demands that ran on Sunday were great and seemed like a good format so why not add them to your weekly majors especially on Sunday. Remove the on demand 180s these are absolute horse s*** and bring back the old ones .
An idea for on demands would be for a new game not to spawn until x amount of players have regged the current game or when late reg closes -which ever comes first.

not sure where is that "recs like it then regs should like it" logic from.

beat the clock is fairly popular, perhaps you should change Super Tuesday into BTC.

I guess Luke only answers the most popular, highest BR players and does not even acknowledge the little fish making simple tournament requests.

so over under of total saturdays till it gets reverted to what it was/320 pko? i ll say treefiddy

Laughed ( )

Add a couple of levels at the beginning of phase2

The thing with the Saturday ko is literally nobody asked for it. In fact in the scoop thread a lot of people were strongly anti 100% psko.

So seems logical to go ahead and test a Saturday major with 100% psko format then with all that data you have to support the idea (literally one turbo coop event).

I very much doubt there has been an army of recs messaging about this tournament being made 100% psko either since reggy tournament. In fact this is likely one of the worst single tournaments to try out this idea.

This is why people pull their hair out and get so frustrated as stars is clicking btns with regards to the mtt schedule. It's really not thought out and planned properly and the results are that the schedule is signicantly worse than 18 months ago.

Even when something clearly isn't working like the new hair brained 100% psko on Sat the answer is to give it more time.

oh and why we are at it please change the bigs to the old Sunday format of longer blind levels.
People don't mind playing longer tournaments on a Sunday and a lot of recs plan long days anyway.

PKO is fine and has grown on me somewhat but only when its 50%. 75% PKO is absurd and 100% PKO makes me want to kill myself.

Changing the Saturday specials to 100% PKO is the dumbest **** ever and is being reflected in all of those tourneys missing their guarantees. All the Bounty Builders being 75% on Saturday is also dumb as ****. All of this combined makes me never want to play Saturday ever again. Dumb dumb dumb.

for a someone working I find most sunday tournaments already too long.
