Could you please consider following making its $1>$11>109>$2k mainevents

If the 109s don't generate enough seats make it $2>$22>215>2k mainevent

Like wise for aussie millions make it 2>22>215>700>10k mainevent

For live events I think 3x turbos and 2rebuy 1 add on sats are not appealing.
I agree with this type of thinking. Having sats to 22 dollar 3xs is sort of misleading as the true cost can be easily 10 times that. I applaud the UKIPT team for not offering these super sats that can be viewed as misleading.

Which one is it Bry? 44 or 109? Hyper or reg speed? 1 seat or 2 seats? Looking for that clarity.

How about adding some decent Sats to the Sunday500 1kk this week, all i can find are 3x Turbos. Add some FOs/Rebuy Regspeeds.
These 5k Fpp Sats looking good how about running some of them at "good Times" when People are able to play them.

Hi Bryan,

Haven't read all the way back so forgive me if this has been addressed already.

I enjoy playing the Steps tourneys a lot, but would prefer them even more if the following happened:

* The $27 tickets could be used to qualify for the big/bigger 109 or the Sunday Kick Off. I would love to play some $109's!!
* There was a Reg Speed and/or turbo $82 tourney. At the moment it's just Hypers.
* If the Step tickets could somehow be used to play the Saturday Super KO (probably via $82 ticket?). Same goes for the $265 KO tourney as well.
* It's server restart right now so cannot check this, but I think the only mid week 215 freezeouts are turbos. Would be good to have a reg speed one.

Finally,

* Add a weekly $700 SKO or maybe PKO, so Step 5's can be used on them? I can remember watching some of these during WCOOP and really wanting to play one!

In summary, the more major tourneys I can play via steps the better! I'm sure this would help increase their traffic as well.

leading up to the 5million sunday million you offered the $1.65 3x turbo sattys to the million at both the regular time of 39 minutes past the hour and at 9 minutes past the hour. could you make the 9 minutes past the hour one permanent? so there is 2 available per hour instead of just the 1 at 39 minutes past the hour.

Bryans, would you keep those $27 turbo satellites to Sunday million on Sundays going forward? As the current satellite games are predominately 3x/2x rebuy, I think a few turbo freeze-outs would be really nice.

if you are sitting at 25/50 with 35 seats, your ranges should change drastically if 30-50 are all shorter or deeper relative to the blinds and your stack

simple to fix, lotta regs and recs would appreciate it (recs probably watch lobbies near bubbles more than regs do)

can't stress that point enough. Thought it was just me who got annoyed :-) kindred spirit!
edit: sometimes its possible to have all tables open but mostly screen real estate doesn't allow this.

I believe that we may; this one's already been discussed among my team.

You guys used to run $215 double shootouts to the PCA. Those seemed to do very well, what was the reasoning for taking those away?

What's with the exchange rate used for Aussie Millions seats?

PokerStars values them at $10409 US. I could cashout $9.5k US and get $10.6k AU and buy in that way.

This makes playing satellites almost pointless, and people seem to be aware of it since a lot of them get cancelled because no one plays them.

Please change this amount, and refund those who have already won seats the difference.

No thoughts on my suggestions above? In particular would love to see $27 sats to the Big $109.

ya, ive got no problem criticizing stars when they deserve it, and they deserve it here

there are already lobbies that show top 50 and top 100 stacks, its essentially flipping a swtich to change sat lobbies to show a more appropriate # of stacks

it shouldnt take mass outcry to motivate pokerstars to implement an 'easy' improvement if even one customer points out an obvious flaw in the games

but stars support has far cry from what it used to be and they dont do anything at all "because it 'should' be done" they wait till they get some silly # of complaints before they even consider a simple obvious improvement to the games they dont themselves have any experience in playing

what the **** is the point of these "never change a ****ing thing feedback threads" other than to make it seem like they care when they dont despite keeping us happy being in their financial best interest

i cant ****ing wait till they lose redic market share, ill be laughing and saying i told you so

if it hurts noone, helps some players who have pointed out the flaw and asked for the improvement, is an easy modification, and its inarguable that it does have direct effect on optimal decision making......

then my tone above is nothing if not justified

true, though the presence of more important information directly hurts noone but many will choose not to use it then people who arent thinking players will be hurt if thinking players have more information at their disposal

i guess what i would say about that is "**** em, not my job to care about people who dont bother to better themselves?"

Agree with this and think it applies to the registration period of 3x rebuys too.
