Would love to see some 109$ FOs (turbo or reg speed) to the 700$ Aussie Million sat like you have for PCA, think they would be able to generate more seats than the 50 cubed.

A couple of more 5.50+R Hyper Turbos to the PCA $700 Qualifiers would be nice.

Can x3 sats run every hour for the warmup and kickoff this week seen as its double vision?

Will there be sats for wcoop challenge, and if so when will they run?

the 1.65r x3 sunday mill 2 sats only have 45 min late reg, im guessing these should be 1 hour late reg as the normal ones r 1 hour

also like many have mentioned before, why is it on sunday the last few 1.65r x3 sunday mill sats that run on sundays, they advertise as 1 hour late reg but are actually 45 min

So it seems that Pokerstars is taking out an extra $700 for the aussie millions satellites for no reason. A friend emailed them asking where this random $700 is going and support responded, "It's a fair markup in my opinion."

Can some Pokerstars representative please explain what is going on?

I've been advocating this for a long time. This format will prove to generate more seats (15 min more of all ins) and will disperse some of the wealth from 1 hour late regging anglers (mostly pro's) to the recreational player. The latter being the ones that need to be treated fairly as they are the ones that can make these tourneys profitable for all.

If you are a pro that starts these tourneys from the get-go you should be happy with these changes as this will help reduce the unfair edges of the pro late reggers.

^ satellite tourney is in USD, most payouts in AUD and AUD is worth more. Also stars set a pretty bad exchange rate afaik to cover themselves. The sats just need to be run in AUD imo.
Sounds like a pretty poorly explained response from support but assume that's what's going on.

I dont care if the 1.65r are 45 min or 1 hour late reg, but having 1 version as 1 hour late reg and another version as 45 min late reg when they are titled the same, doesnt make any sense

Couldn't agree more. They all need to be the same format.

+1

and the fpp and cash sats should be targeted to this 109 fo, not cubed tournaments.

More sattelites to the sunday kickoff would be good too

if thats inaccurate its not by much.

the idea of adding 15 minutes to the annoying part of the game however is extremely unpleasant

i do agree that stars should pick 45 or 60 and have that be both consistent across games, and not frequently innacurate (60 often isnt 60 despite the lobby saying it is)

Anyone else have problems with auto rebuying? The box keeps auto untick randomly and not rebuy when I can rebuy one time. Really weird.

+1. And when I set it to rebuy 2x with 0 chips I get a message I can only rebuy with maximum XXX chips.

Had the same problem and e-mailed support. They confirmed it as a bug and are investigating.

Can we get some hyper turbo(or at the very least turbo) sats to the VIP 100K monthly and also have similiar sats for the VIP quarterly $1m , because who in their right mind wants to play 130fpp sats with 10min blinds?. Pls stars change this?.

Looking over all the angles this tourney offering is one of the absolute worst offerings by Stars when all things are properly considered. I'll start a thread tomorrow in the internet forum highlighting why this tourney needs to be altered in a major way.
