this

leave it like it is now for a few weeks. people will get used to the changes and volume will recover (hopefully).

finally a good solution for stars (more rake) and for regs (higher hourly probably)

8$ and 15$ it's better

Yeah for 180's i think we have got close enough to what I want and think is good for the games as a whole. That i am now in favour in leaving them as they are.

I know this isn't the 45 man thread, but are there no $20/45s now?

The next level after the 10s is the 30s now..

sigh 15s r rigged vs me

ill be antijinxing myself a lot from now on in here

Traffic looked good, for the time i was regging

this. The 15s and 8s are firing up super quick

+1
hopin it stays that way

yeah

+1000000000000

I have an unhealthy addiction to Lady GaGa.

That meam I'm gay?

5s were pretty fun :/

probably sounds ******ed, but i'm excited to get grinding 180s again. been live proing it up for nearly 10 days solid now, with another ~4/5 to go. already had enough and considering ending my vacation early lol

everyone don't forget about the supernova+ 1 million guarantee freeroll on saturday. going to be huge, stars seems to be leaving the guarantee as it is even though US players are out of it.

thx for reminder!

fu...missing 50K VPP

Yesterday at 8:30pm there were:
20 $15 180s
20 $8 180s
17 $3.5r 180s
all running at the same time. That is superrrrrrrr good imo, seems like they're all balancing out, great news. Now to get out of my first downswing!

It seems as though i was wrong about it killing volume, the $8's have been running pretty much great!! Even at non peak hours, lets hope it stays this way.

Also sick f**kin brag about your 'first' d/s. FU Chillin :-)

Oh sh*t - 1k post!!

Pokerz rigged LDO!!

Hello guys and gals, 1st post right here. Seen a couple of ya 'round.
But I'm just here to catch some savers ^^.
Rgds...

Dunno if Augustus posts ITT, but I just ended my session and shoved atc 3 times and beat his utg range erry time. lul

This is exactly what I think....have been posting in the 'PokerStars Sit & Go Changes: Effective May 6th, 2011' , Internet Poker forum which PS steve reads

Be great if those who agree would post there. Probably only chance of getting an intermediate level for a while.

I've suggested something like $2.50, $5's or $6's, $12's, $20's or say $2.5, $5.5, $9, $15, etc etc - both work for former $12 grinders, sure the proposed $5's would only steal from huge numbers of $2.5's!

It seems that all the former $12 grinders are more than happy playing both $8's and $15's for a ABI of, wait for it, $12! Always seems to have the same numbers running and same faces at the tables.

The micro/low guys are stuck with effectively one level, needing close wins to bankroll up to $8's, where they better maintain cashing or they're back to $2.50.

From post in PokerStars Sit & Go Changes: Effective May 6th, 2011.... #1529 onwards

We know the numbers, know who plays what levels and know the impact the 180 man variance has when you try to move through the levels and need to ca$h out some on the way.

Pokerstars should split the 180 punters and the comments made in this thread into 3 distinct bandings when reviewing the 180 SNG's, just for review purposes

Micro/Low - ABI $6 and below
Mid - ABI $6 - $14
High - ABI $14+

If I want ABI of $3 - $6, it's impossible to get to play more than average 10 tables from 3am - 4pm (i.e. $8's wont get more than 10 running for half the day) The $2.50's will have 15 min running 24 hours a day, probably 40 at peak. Kinda shows that there might be enough volume to spread to a $5 or $6 BI level = higher hourly = good for everyone. Also indicates that $2.50 grinders only loading the odd $8 game, if they load them at all.

Your 'mid' ABI's is limited to play 8 to 12 tables off peak ($8's & $15's) as they wont slum it in the $2's....they'd probably include $6's in the grind off peak, if available. They also include the $3+r, also with ABI of c. $9. Hey, you guys have 3 different 180's to grind. MBN!

The 'high' guys will play all $15's and the whole 3(?) $35's that run every day. Probably find themselves having to play the $8's to get say 24 tables running. They might even benefit from the $35 being dropped to a say $25 which more 'mid' guys may have the occasional shot at = more running = higher hourly

The current 180's just limit the micro/low level which is where you want up all the fish to move up from

oh yea, I was mad
