Wait wait, no Mini-WCOOP this September? Really? This is the best series for micro/low stakes players! We must have this festival once a year!

Mini WCOOP should be 1/10 of the normal buyin not 1/100

+1 for midstakes series. ******ed to have such a big gap between micro millions and WCOOP in terms of buyins

Agree @ midstake series during the summer. Def demand for a series of $22-$215 events. Doesn't have to have massive guarantees, just something to spice up the slow going (@ online poker) summer to get both regs and recs excited to log in and play

Something like $50-$75 abi on the series. $215 could be the HRer bi if you wanted to keep it focused on the lower stakes (with maybe a $530 'SHRer' for the series), otherwise $320 or $530 HRer

Also, a +1 to mini-WCOOP being 1/10th of the buy-in, as there's already a Micro Millions...

far less regs in fields=lower variance, higher ROI...might not be as fun tho as with nice guarantees

At least update the average bounty in the tournament lobby

you need to bring back the cubes and the quads, without raking them all. Need way more 11-33 games that are non turbo and no bounty builders. Party poker are giving good structured mid stakes games now, poker stars have the 27 deep-stack and that's it on weekdays. The micro stakes are catered for, the high stakes are catered for. but the 11-44 range is just shockingly bad in my opinion. Need to re do the schedule completely.you killed off the rebuys by raking the **** out of them, recs and pros liked the deep structure of those games.

yeah could do scoop2 mid version with 22-109 buyin range with a 55,109 and 530 main events in June or july. These buyins are not out of the range for recs and its worthwhile for pros to play them. Not that many of the low to mid stakes regs go to vegas, and recs will play of course.

Most peoples volume has dropped on stars, as the games are not as good as they were in 2015. I play half the volume i used to on the site

I can say the same to you: SCOOP and WCOOP not enough?
I understand players with large bankrolls. Of course you want to play mid/high stakes series and you don't care about those cheap MTTs, but you guys don't want to understand us - players with a small bankrolls. We want to play a good MTTs with amazing structures, but we can't play SCOOP or WCOOP or whatever else at mid or high stakes. You want your series - we want our series!
So yes, not enough at all. I would like to see every series with Mini edition, because my bankroll is not big.

This sounds like the best plan. Considering that Stars does have an interest in differentiating between the two series however a lot of alternative approaches can be sought - in formats (more mixed game and non-NL formats maybe, not that I'm any good in those haha), in depth and distribution, even introducing bracelets, watches as opposed to SCOOP(this year's) can be a difference to build on.

But the bottomline still is that a tiered series performs outstandingly. The 'biggest day in online poker' could never have happened during a one-tier high stakes only series. Not only does the tiered approach not diminish the prestige of the series, if anything it seems to be making it greater.
+ any rec/semi-reg player would love to get the experience of facing some crusher while playing the 1-200 $ M tourney which he satted into. And big names tend to trickle down to the M tier a lot (based on what I saw during this year's SCOOP)

Make WCOOP tiered, Luke! Let everybody have another fun month and beat your own 'biggest online day' in September

Tiered wcoop pls. A 1/100th version, a 1/10th version and the regular wcoop high event. Would satisfy all parties and I'll play all 3. If that's too much, then pls add the 1/10th version instead of the 1/100th. Thanks

Interest would tail off over time. This would have a cascading effect in a Phase tournament where many players try to qualify for Phase 2 numerous times.
Even in the $10K Payday, there is a huge disparity in the participation in Phase 1s. Sunday Phases account for 40+% of the total field size, while some midweek Phases only have 40 players. If the buy-in is $109, there's fewer opportunities to offer Phase 1s. This is obviously a bit different during Series where the MTT lobby is buzzing on a daily basis.
INTEREST IS FALLING OVER TIME FOR 2 MAIN REASON IMO

1. FIRST PLACE PRICE I JUST LOL, PHASE 2 IS ON SUNDAY WHERE THEY ARE A TON MTTS WHERE YOU CAN WIN A LOT MORE MONEY IF YOU FINAL TABLE IT WITH SIMILAR BUY IN RANGE, SO PLAYING PHASE 1 TO BE ABLE TO PLAY PHASE 2 ON SUNDAY IS JUST NOT ATTRACTIVE
if first place is 50k/100k guarantied and final table payouts accordingly imo will be huge

2. BUY IN FOR CURRENT PHASE 1 AS FIRST PLACE/FINAL TABLE PAYOUTS ARE TOO LOW NOT ATRACTIVE SO THATS WHY PEOPLE JUST GAMBLE IT ON SUNDAY(PLAY PHASE ONE ON SUNDAY) AND TRY TO GET INTO PHASE 2 WITH 1-2 BULLETS ON SUNDAY, IF THEY DONT GET IN INTO PHASE 2 IS NOT A BIG DEAL IMO
but if if first place is 50k/100k guarantied and final table payouts accordingly + buying for phase1 are bigger (significant, with feeders with low buyin to phase1) every one will play it and take it seriosly

you can just make one (instead of 11$ phase one) 82$ phase 1 SUNDAY HALF MILLION/ 500k guaranteed prize pool/ 75k$ guaranteed for first place to see how it goes but i honestly believe that the previous concept i suggested 55$ phase 500k/50k+ for #1 (SUNDAY HALF MILLION)*** 3 times in a month & and last Sunday of every month 109$ phase 1 mil$$$ /100k+ for first guarantied(MONTHLY MILLION) with daily phase 1 with good satelites/feeders , imo should be very sucesfull and huge

***it very important in this concept to keep the dream alive of binking big score with relative small investement to have this thing going imo
Spoiler:
+ good satelite/feeders for phase one
+ option to play other phase one for bigger stack (the biggest stack of multiple phase 2 entries will play/ option to surrender your stack and play another phase one... w/e)
+ min cash/payouts in 55$/500k weekly to start from 109$ phase one ticket + 55$ (with significant pay jumps min 1/2 phase one buy in like 109ticket+55/109ticket+75 etc => 50k+G &109 phase one ticket for first (basically every one ITM 55$/500k SUNDAY HALF MILlION will get 109 ticket + cash)

Is there a reason i do not see see this. I play these bounty builders and some progressives and its seems the same? Example its 11 dollars and its 5+5+1. And it shows 5 dollars on each player and thus if you bust the player, you get half the amount shown, thus 2.50. Thus you win 2.50 immediately and the other 2.50 is added to your bounty which should be 7.50.


The thing is i did not update stars. Could that be the reason why? I do not see where if someones bounty shows 10 dollars... that is the amount you get when you bust them. You only get half of it which is 5 dollars. I see this at those bounty builder tournaments as well. Im guessing i didnt update stars?

You could make challages where you can win SM tickets, rewarding players who play nice volume in Summer also, mega sats everyday in peak time, drop tickets who play xy tournies from the start, even in the Deal jp you could somehow implement SM tickets etc..


Regarding to the mid-low stakes series +1...I guess you don't like the idea too much, but it would be cool or at least to have a 1-week long series( wcoop is kinda highstakes series, you could make a warm up week with low-mid stakes tournies..)
