This series is perfect for so many players, even micro players with the amount of $11s that are in the series.
As I said before, it was turbo micromillions with a lot of trash MTTs. Yes, we had 13 micromillions for last 6 years, but year by year they are getting worse and worse. All I want is to have just ONE proper series for micro-low stakes players. Series with $3.30, $5.50, $7.50 and $11 would be nice for micro-low stakes players.

P.S.: I'd rather will not play at all than play that bull**** series called micromillions.

Lol. Did I say that we don't need a mid stakes series? I wrote here many times that we need mid stakes series. I just don't understand you guys, why you always posting against micro-low stakes series? Go and post something like: we need mid stakes, give us mid stakes etc, but don't touch others limits. It sounds like: we high stakes and mid stakes players need a mid stakes series and please remove all the others low series. And you guys always have a SCOOP and WCOOP and all we have is a one bull**** series called micromillions which is very bad series.

^ Easy tiger I understand that you are russian and that $11 is quite expensive for you. I think a couple of $5 events added in would have been nice. My suggestion is to play some sats into the $11 and $27 events. You will win a lot more money if u go deep in them then $2 50000 player events.

At least you can play them. For full-time workers where I am from I can only play in the weekend.

You are right about Russia, our salary here is $250-$400 per month, $500-$600 if you are lucky and got that good job (in Moscow or other big cities you can make more money). But it's not about country, it's about bankroll management. I can't play $11 MTT if I have $900 bankroll.
It's ok, I have to wait for a larger bankroll.

Agree with above the Micro Millions is generally rubbish, the Mini WCOOP has easily been the best Micro Tournament, real shame its been scrapped, to be fair to the low/mid stakes players its about time they got something like this, but surely common sense would suggest running all three high mid and low formats? am pretty sure they would all fill on stars as there always good traffic

Its about levels, I struggle in micros, so there is little point in me playing any higher yet, but the Mini WCOOP is going to be a miss in my year, never mind always plenty 2.20 Deepstacks , 2.20 six max, and Bigs to play

Good luck to all taking part what ever the stakes, run good

There are even legit good mid regs that sometimes don't play the COOPS because they know competition will be very tough. Don't sweat it. Most can't resist because of the big prize pools and chance to win big. By tough I mean tough to final table. Obviously a lot of fun players at the start.

To be fair PS have probably saved me some money by not putting it on, I tend to deposit (and loose) a lot more the weeks the events are on lol

Might play a coule of the Lower events if I have a good week at the micros, (so likely not )

Luke, there is 2 deep payouts $7.50 MTTs at the evening time slot starting at 18:20 and 21:45 CET. And 2 deep stacks $7.50 MTTs at the morning time slot starting at 08:20 and 10:15 CET. Can you replace one of them please? Because it's unfair that we have to play 2 deep payouts and morning players have those deep stacks which is much better.

Hey everyone,

Just one quick thing before I get into some responses: I've just credited every player who made a final table in last year's WCOOP and mini-WCOOP with a $55 ticket valid in the daily $5,200 seat added satellites. It will expire on September 24th, so be sure to use it! Well done last year, and good luck this year.

Once things get rolling during WCOOP, we're going to shift our focus to the weekly schedule. I still plan to review this thread for suggestions, and I'll collate them and discuss them with the team alongside some other potential changes. What changes depends on how many ideas we have and what we can accomplish before our deadline.

Also Luke my HORSE phase comment wasn't regarding the lack of HORSE - I dont even play it. I was saying the only phase is HORSE. But youve explained why theres no NLHE phase and I would for sure take WCOOP low over a phase, so it's cool.
Yeah, sorry, I misunderstood!

We've been letting these run under the radar for a few weeks now. One of the potential changes in the future is expanding their scope, but we need to look into it further. Please continue to provide feedback on these if you play them.

Since this post, we made some changes to the $55 daily satellite:
  • Re-entries increased to three
  • Late registration increased to 125 minutes from 120
  • $530 remainder payments added

The only iterations of these replacements that offer re-entry are the Half Price versions of the Super Tuesday and Thursday Thrill.

I'm more of a customer of sunday tournaments and, given how much the prices for the WU and SM have risen, I hope you'll provide a lot of 1/10 and 1/5 sats to them. I don't like the idea that you're slowly rolling out sats, given that we're only 2 weeks away from the 1st events.

And the ME sat is a way too long shot - I don't feel like paying $55 for a 1/100 chance of getting that seat. Make these tournaments in steps, could work better maybe ? 5 > 50 > 500 > ME ticket.
Well, to be fair, it is better than a 1/100 shot since we add a seat every day! We're also running $5.50 On-Demand satellites to the daily $55. We'll offer a variety of satellites to the Main Event in the future. If you have a preference for what you'd like to see, please let me know.

Well, either nobody has looked at the structures and hated them or they've looked and think they offer a similar experience as years past. If it is the former, the window for making changes is quickly closing. Do not hesitate to ask any questions!

It is both due to the overwhelming demand for a mid-stakes Series and the fact that MicroMillions was only a month ago.

Yes, you can play as many Phase 1s as you like until you advance.

Apologies, but this isn't technically possible. I agree that it would be an improvement, but since we have to choose between allowing players to win one seat or infinity, we choose one.

Satellites for everything! The offering depends on demand. We'll be looking at performance during SCOOP to determine the offering for these Events. They'll be available from at least 24 hours before the Event start time.

We're in the process of deploying some satellites to the first four High Events from Monday. On Tuesday, we'll deploy some for the rest of the week once we look at Monday's results. Pink satellites for these Events will go up today as well.

Is there will be more then 3 mtt sats for Low Events?

How about to run some deep sats that starts around -24h of the event. I have some time window where i play and as I remember most deep sats that run in SCOOP was earlier in the event day.

Is your name the same on stars?. I remember going deep with you in a SCOOP 6 max event last year. Think you bubbled the final table from memory.

Dumbest thing ever. I don't think that this is a good reward. What if people does not drink alcohol at all?
Players can buy whatever they want itself.

I totally disagree ! It's a very nice touch, and comes at a reasonable price for the poker site. A bracelet, a nice bottle of champagne is a trophy that adds some pride and you can brag with

A $2 card protector on the other side, is cheap and dumb and shows how much thought Stars spent on this...
