I think during peak hours the only x3 sats that run to wcoop should be to the 700ko and 2.1k main.
That way ur gtd good numbers and seats in these sats and players still have multiple chances to sat to other events during the rest of the day.

With the current system i think it always leaves it to late for chances to get into the bigger events.

Only 1 wcoop main x2/x3 sat a day starting at around 1am european time this close to the series?Not good enough

the largest issue/deficiency in the filters is wanting to play the bigX-big33/all omanias/storm but never again see the abundant satelites that lead to them

Currently it displays the top 30 stacks most of the time (this varies, seeingly arbitrarily), which is of little use when over 30 seats are awarded.

I understand that it'd be heavy on resources to populate this info for every tournament and every user, so perhaps just have it as an option?
theyve been asked this at least a dozen times over 2 years

Any chance some turbo $8 2 x shootout tourneys could be added for WCOOP challenge (Warm up and SM)?

Are you referring to S&G or scheduled tournaments?

This information is a pretty heavy resource drain, especially at peak times with hundreds of thousands of players in tournaments at once.

ya................................................ .....................

tell that to every 180man sng and then check back with us

"50x? 200x? 500x? as many 180 man sngs as large field satelites run on sunday mornings all showing top 100 stacks"


"there are a small number, maybe 50 instances? of sch sats where stack size information routinely affects the optimal ranges approaching bubbles where the stack size list doesnt include the most important 1/3 of the field"


= just fix it already, no excuses

Unsure how popular this request will be, but on a personal level I get frustrated that the only way to qualify for these WCOOPs (or any tournaments for that matter) is via turbo or hyper satellites.

Can we have some reg speed also?

For the higher buy in events there have been some excellent Deep satellites to the $2100 and the $700 (this one generating 6-7 seats vs the 1 in the guarantee).

There is nothing of this kind for the WCOOP challenge Big 109 apart from a 5.50 reg speed.

Can these types of offerings be expanded for the future?

The target tournament is after all a reg speed relatively deep structure, so whilst i'd love to play the target tournament I'm not that keen to have to try to turbo/hyper my way into it.

Off the top of my head, a $22/27 reg speed to Big 109 would be pretty cool. And keep those deep satellites coming!

Bryan, the e/$320 deep hypers now run daily. The rake is still 300+20. It is ridiculous for a satellite that lasts 1-1.5 hrs to be the same rake as the Wednesday 100k which this week took over 9. Even the Saturday super-knockout has lower rake than these hyper satties.

Wtf is going on with the rake. 75+7 etc turbo WCOOP sats where in 1 hour u will have less/equal to 10 BBs and rake is higher than in MTTs but u have no top heavy prizes just some tickets.
Must be nice that people are so stupid and abusing that monopoly, cant wait for a competition to appear already he would just print money and would be in the green within years.

Regarding steps, there are no Step G at all at the moment, not for San Remo nor for Grand Finale. There used to be for Grand Finale but they disappeared!

Step 1 tickets should be able to be used for any $7.50 buy-in tourney, I see no reason why this shouldn't be the case.

The Sunday Kick Off Sat: $7.50 NLHE [Hyper-Turbo], 1 Seat Gtd is an example of one that doesn't accept step 1 tickets.

yes, and stop timing them so they put you in the tourney 30-50 minutes in, thats just pointless and stupid


theres no reason you cant determine with a solid confidence interval that they would end during the target closer to start

been drinking a bit (f poker) but just thinking about 3xts and what a waste of time and attention they are for such a large portion of gameplay.......

offer a double addon with 90 minutes of latereg where the first addon is $1.5 and the second is $10 and pre-reggers get both addons for $1.5

pricing would be up for some review but that gives incentive for prereg and some utility back to late reg

its just a huge btch to play 90 minutes of rebuys, just to get F'ed post addon repeatedly and question why you bother opening pokerstars


(you give me $63k for $17 and 5 minutes of rebuy period and im happy as a mother****er)

recs will be too, theyll know how much my impatience or lack of planning cost me

Instead there just shouldn't be 3xs with a $1.65 buy in to reach a $27 dollar tourney. Many will spend more in the rebuy period then the tourneys worth.
