I have self excluded myself from ALL games on stars other than poker. All table games, and especially all slots.. where I historically have a bit of an issue.

Stars the other day offered me a $200 free play on their millionaire slot. And by offered, I mean shoved it down my throat, as in a popup came up in the client during a MTT grind, accompanied by an email at the same time.. seemed really uncool to me tbh.
Keep getting push notifications on mobile and emails for Spins which I've self-excluded myself from.

On top of that .fr emailed me a few weeks back for the French SCOOP which I can no longer play! Talk about tilting!

you used too run a few 5card plo turbos and a 2,20$ 5card nlo rebuy
i loved to play those tournaments
please bring them back
every 5 card plo or nlo tournament is now regular speed
but turbo 5card plo or nlo is much more fun to play

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!


what about the problem that if anniversary SM is 2 day event that big %% of players left will use call a friend joker(sell % to some better player and let them finish the job, i am also aware that rec woudnt have top pros as friends but i'am prety sure that 80%+ of player left (if it stops like last 27 or smth like that) will not be one player per hand) ???

about 320 full kno just lol, i stop playing Saturdays when you introduce 75% kno and the only MTT that was good was that 320kno and you manage to ruin that too, just lol,


if you want to change smth you should make postive changes like for EX:

- in PKO MTT #1 & #2 get same amount of $$$ and they play for knos HU

- introduce mix PKO/freezeout MTTs (is it PKO until money 25% or 33% of buy in, and after people get itm (ITM % should be ~10% or smth like that) people get the $$$ on their head on their account and tournament continues as freezeout)

- 100% pko can only be popular and masive at 5$-55$ range 6max turbo/hiper because almost every one can afford it and gamble up, but i imagine that 90% pko 6 max turbo/hiper will be way way more popular in that buy in range 5$-55$, with rest of the money/prizepool (10% of the buy ins) payed to final 6

I am a little surprised that nobody talk about pokerstars reducing rakeback, i.e., introducing new reward program in a few months. I got an email from PS a few days ago, saying my rakeback could drop as much as 85%.

This past Sunday, we ran a €530 mega satellite to Monte Carlo with 50 packages guaranteed alongside the Sunday Million 11th Anniversary. In total, we spent approximately €150K on this tournament through overlay and promotional spend, dropping tickets on midweek majors and the Sunday Million Anniversary itself.

So my question for you all is: did you notice? Did anyone participate in the weekly majors due to the Monte Carlo ticket drop or register for the Sunday Million Anniversary early with the hopes of winning a ticket? I think it is fairly clear that we were intending to spend a significant amount of money on this event, but I'm wondering if you have any sort of anecdotal feedback or suggestions to share.

Lastly, we're giving away another ~$20K worth of €530 tickets in this week's Sunday Million for the Monte Carlo mega satellite (T1872725692) with 25 packages guaranteed on Sunday.
Winning a ticket would be cool but the promo did not effect my decision to play or not play any MTTs... I'm not that interested in live play though

Hey guys: been gone for quite a while from online poker and am trying to figure some stuff out now.

Can anyone please tell me what happened to the TLB? All i can find in the lobby is this ridiculous "Leaderboard" with Number of cashes and no visible prize money to win? Is that a joke? Did they actually remove the next best thing after Battle of the Planets imho?

As for the Monte Carlo tickets given out during the SM... I think any "free money" is good... but if your objective is to get more people to attend MC then you're not going about it optimally as that money could have been more efficiently spent in other offerings.

I sort of go back and forth on guessing what Stars' objective is in regards to "LIve Events"... At times I question whether they are actually trying to get unique players to qualify as oftentimes this goes against the "maximum margins" objective that covers nearly all of your offerings.

But when they give money away... it seems that they do want qualifiers. Perhaps some events are more important than others from Stars' PR perspective.

I know I'm considered a whiner, but I think that somehow Stars was 'forced' to give away these packages. I don't understand the whole thing so therefore I might be talking out of my ass but all of sudden them 'giving away' 150k on a promotion seems rather unlike them. And Luke rushing to the thread because he's got something positive to say for the first time in past two years adds to this, which happens when he has some information that can be spun positively. I think they're trying to meet some requirements simply from some contracts or investors.

But yeah, I might be talking bull****.

Imo all the non red progressive tourneys with 15k gtd+ or 1500+ players gtd should have hyper sngs sats(2 seats) running at the time of late reg period and have these sats appear only at the tourney lobby if thats possible. Give it a trial to any one of the pko tourney. Also wish there was an option if you could re-enter only if you qualify via a sat and not through direct buy in.

And forgot the biggest argument - why on earth they didn't advertise the giveaway? Why Luke gave a headsup post factum?
