[OFFICIAL] PokerStars MTT Thread - Page 375 - MTT Poker Strategy

There used to be a daily and a weekly non special $11/$55 buy in triple draw tourney with $200 gtd but it often got canceled (not surprising) and so they removed that tourney.

This was after the schedule change last year, right?

Because before that there was a $ 27 Triple Draw with a 1K guarantee that ran daily. And there was a $ 82 on Top on the weekend (can't remember the guarantee).

Both almost never got cancelled.

Hi Luke,

Played both the $27 Omaha8 Mtts this Wcoop and they were really great tournaments with fantastic structures, 3k entrants both beat the gtd's and both were 8 max to boot.

So clearly they were popular tournaments I'm wondering if you could take some of the positives from this and add to the main schedule. Now there are hardly any 8 max o8 mtts right now and the very few ones we do have are either under $5 buy in or turbo/hyper.

The demand is definitely there for a few 8 max reg speed plo8 / nlo8 mtts to be added to the schedule in the $11+ range I'm sure they would do well as shown by the popularity of the wcoop tournaments.

Few complaints who ever is in charge of satellites times for wcoop needs to fix some things

I register 1 dollar satellite to wcoop 68L this satellite started at 19:01est and finished at 20:45 est 18 min after late register closed and did not feed me in just gave me tournament dollars why even have this as option and from what i see in lobby every wcoop has these

Complaint 2 all ko tournaments need mega satellite put 45 min earlier so when you get feed in near start .

Complaint 3 wcoop late satellites if you break all offered before start the first 1 you add is 45 min after start why not 15 min? or 5

SCOOP/WCOOP saturdays should be chalk full of huge 55 to 1k's.

Or at least this saturday in specific should have a lot of big gtd satties.

Definitely one of the least utilized days of the year.

I'm for once really excited about a tournament on stars. 27$, 200k gtd, starts at 16:00 cet so that day 1 will end 1:30 cet and people can still get some sleep and even manage work maybe with some excuse to leave early. This should be like that weekly and not twice a year. Most of your big sunday tournaments end 05:00-09:00 cet which is insane, considering you'll often reach f2t and bust and get 5 buyins back with new payout structures. You claim to cater to recs and losing players yet most recs can't play many of your majors for various reasons. I think lack of logic infuriates me more than greediness.

Not playing the big 22/11/sunday storm for the first time in probably my life due to absurd payouts. I know I'm not the target market of those mtts but I hope more follow so stars is forced to reverse this. Paying 20% of a tournament should not be a thing, especially in low buyins. It's not a moral boycott or whatever and stars can do what they want, I just think they're not worth table space anymore if you also play higher buyins.

Please change the payouts back to what they once were. 23k up top in the storm is lol. It wasn't so long ago it was 30k+ every week.

What's the reason for the min cash being less than 2x in both WCOOP main events ? Most other WCOOP tournaments had 2x as min-cash.

Can we convert WCOOP tickets into lower tournament entries like what happened in SCOOP Luke?

The phase tournaments for the PCA are setup incorrectly. You are now only allowed to enter one phase 1. So if you bust you are not allowed to play another phase 1.

Hmmm indeed.

People want to play for real money, Stars, not peanuts.

Just take a look at how WCOOP and SCOOP are performing - real tournaments with big guarantees and prizes and voila, people are registering in droves.

Why you decided to butcher the regular schedule and thus sabotage your own earnings is beyond reason. Please reconsider.

Should get that circulating around social media and maybe add some other sites to that table.Its a real eye opener that would get recs questioning why they want to still play on stars as it clearly shows how bad the payouts are now.

I didnt even realise how bad they were till seeing that, jeez.

High events are well balanced, low events are not. Please make day 1s shorter for low events, max 8 hours long including breaks would be an improvement for all players involved.

This this. Just cut some time off from 1st day. I'm sure fish will be more happy as well, when they make Day 2 more often. It's stupid to play these events till 6am or whatever it was. Especially when you're one tabling $27 tournament or $11.. Whatever.
