Would be nice to look in the lobby and see something other than a 'Phase 1' event I could play, maybe it's just me. Oh well.

Something wrong with the MTT lobbies atm? There wasn't hot 5,5's in the morning (EET), and can't see not a single tournament being late reg at the moment? Filters should be fine, I haven't been adjusting those lately.

EDIT: my bad, didn't see the notice on the lobby.

"Scheduled Server Restart"

"Scheduled tournaments have been reduced to accommodate the restart, but with many Time Tournaments, Turbos and Hyper-Turbos added."

oh guys,you get shafted every time when there's a server restart. Just mark it in your calendar, they even send out e-mails.

Just withdraw, deposit on some on another site and grind it out there.

Bring back $15 180s. The on demands are super lame.

Can you guys please study the old structure and bring back the non turbo rebuys?

3R 5R 11R 20R 50R 100R.

Could you also bring back a ton of 1R1A's?

You guys killed supernova badly.

Stars I love you I really do but you have to step your game up.

My thoughts exactly.

Rebuys have died... accept it and move on.

+1

I have them filtered out and will never play another one again whilst the extra rake is attached.

I don't really get this, there's no extra rake on rebuys. The rake is the same percentage as freezeouts. Yes it used to be lower and it sucks that they increased it, but out of all the made changes I can't think of a single reason why we would get 50+5 freezeout but 20-60+1 11$ rebuy. 10% rake on the 3x turbo's is obv ridiculous and another story, but I don't see a reason why slow structured FO's and rebuys should be raked differently.

Maybe look at other sites, they probably see the reason.

Yes, some other sites rake rebuys a lot less than other formats, I don't know why that makes any sense to you. It'd be much better if everything was raked at 8% instead of FO's at 10% and rebuys at 2% or whatever the numbers would turn out to be. I don't see any reason why a format with more play should be raked at a lower %. On top of that, not raking rebuys means the recs taking one buyin shots are paying way too much rake comparatively.

Stars have made many awful rake decisions lately, but this one makes sense. If it had always been this way, nobody would say anything, it's only because it used to be different that people even think about it. Go complain about 5% hyper rake, 10% 3x-turbo rake, 10% regular turbo rake, or any of the other super legit issues.

2% hyper rake was sweet.

I'm fine with rebuy in the 3.5$R (3.3+0.2) since it has then become the lowest raked mtt in the whole turbo market.

How can anyone say raking rebuys make sense? It makes no sense whatsoever certainly for customers to add rake on a rebuy when you're already in the tournament. You pay rake to enter the tournament. Thats fine. Rake to rebuy or add on chips? No, thats not OK at all.

I'd say things like, raking the rebuys is ok, if you put up the gtd of the 1$ Splash back to 40k

What about the re-entry tournaments? You have to pay the rake too. Yeah, that's very bad that they raked the rebuys and I don't like it of course, but it makes sense. I am totally agree with Soepgroente.
Of course, we would like to play every MTT without rake at all, but it's impossible.

While i was gone from online poker.. nl08 hyper turbo sng's with buyins bigger than $30 have been removed from the lobby.. Can you add ($60 and $100 at least) back in for scoop time

Re entering a tournament is like entering a new one. Rebuying is a totally different beast

That is why charging additional rake is just a money grab. Both formats play inherently different strategy wise

Why the rake is higher in $215s than in $11s? 15 times higher rake makes no sense. $1 would be sufficient at all buy-in levels.

i would rather pay rake on rebuys than not have them at all, the 1/3/5/11r were the best mtts on ps back in the day
