Your million 3x satellites are closing registration earlier than advertised. This makes me unhappy .

how so?

Well they disappear from my lobby before xx:37. (Running PokerStars 7)

Seems weird, I use the old version so I've never noticed this. Will check during next session.

A lill update on this?

Allowing players to buy into live events using a Step G ticket is a fantastic idea, certainly would encourage more people to grind the steps. Interested to know Stars' thoughts on this.

the $700 sattys for the 10k scoop main look great, although i feel like they could use a few extra round 1's/2's that run up to them.

Why dont the $7.50 scoop deadline sats accept Step 1 tickets?

Would it be possible to get some heads up sats to the SCOOP heads up events rather than all just 4-max games?

Just looking at the $700 SCOOP-08 H event, something like a $100 8man shootout with the change to second place or $200 4mans would be good.

Please please please stop the 6m hyper sats from spawning new SNG lobbies when 1 person registers. What brought on this change?

It's a great system when there are 0 games running, however, for registering games it's terrible. The minute any reg starts loading we instantly go from 11 registering $74s up to nearly 30. This is ridiculous. Even 11 is borderline too many.

You need 3 for the Sunday Million and 1 for every other tournament. Except in the 2-3 hours before the MTT starts. This has worked in the past so why change now?

The $74 sats to the $215 SCOOP events both spawn to 3 maximum each, however there won't be enough running to justify that many until the week before SCOOP, so what's the point? Set it at 1 of each for now, then change it nearer the time.

Vote for Sect7G as our representative in the Pokerstars meeting next month guys, vote here.

His contributions in this thread alone won my vote, but his post in the CV thread here also makes great sense imo.

daddyrnac- I'd just like to say thank you very much for the kind words and your endorsement. I don't play the hypers and if I did it would likely be way further down in stakes then a player like yourself

I don't seek out votes from friends etc as I want to earn them based on my integrity, ideas and passion. It means an awful lot to hear that a player of your caliber offers his support.

u got my vote too, thumps up for making posts like you sir! think pokerstars can do a lot more for us they act can !

does not seem to be almost any "vanilla" 3x turbo sats to 215 or higher events per hour leading up to and through SCOOP


there are alot of sats when i filter for scoop rebuy sats.....

but they are mostly those that very few players with 3 figures in their stars account and a preference for NLHE are going to register






maybe right now is a bad example because the super tuesday sats are the focus so i wont get too specific but i do ask for this:

if you can set your text filter to "scoop"
your tournament tab to "satelite > rebuy"
your min buyin filter to "1" and your game filter to only "hold em" and "No Limit"

........ if you do all that, and you cannot find 3 direct satelites to a high buyin event late regging, you are almost certainly obligated as stars staff to fix that situation

also, speaking of text filters........

if stars were to be so kind as to retitle satelites as

SCOOP-##-Low ...
SCOOP-##-Med ...
SCOOP-##-Hi ...

it would simplify the truly mind-blowing amount of clutter that is going to happen later on in this series in the satelite tab

*users cannot filter "-L"

So 4 days for the huge 900M celebration tour and zero 3xT satellites for it! What am i missing??
Why are all the $1 satties freezouts?! makes no sense.

There's a lot of $2.75 2X's and a lot of $1 turbo rebuys in the lobby. Also they are running $1.50 double shootouts.

Are they running any 5000 FPP sats to the big buy in events?

I would have liked to see some $11 and $16 for the 900M, starting way earlier than the current $11 which first starts at the 26th. Or some $8.8 double shootouts (Like the one for sunday millions) that would payout 2 entries and 4 times $17.5

i did miss the 2X's, thanks. but the others are no good imo, too bad buyin/target ratio. giving 1 seat per 100 players or 3 per 80 [for the turbo rebuys] is not enticing at all!
there need to be some $1 3xT or some $11 freezouts to give 1 seat per 10 or sth like that.
anyways, concerning the 3xTs, the've always belonged to the most popular satties so i was kinda surprised they didn't put any at all for this one.

The National Tour 215 euro sats have dropped from 2 seats guaranteed down to 1. I get the logic that EPT is over and therefore there's no regional events leading into them. Despite this Players are still showing up to play it and there is no overlay with 2 seats guaranteed. Please switch it back as a lower guarantee then necessary can sway players into not playing it.

the 109 (deep) satty for the 1k scoop main event has a 15 second timebank
utterly ridiculous

i meant the daily deep satty to scoop-06 H

the $22 aussie million sat to the 215 2r1a has lots of entrants and will probably end up awarding 50 sattelite winners who to a 215 2 REBUY 1 ADD ON. Doesn't make sense, since 90% of the people who qualify won't rebuy and alot that do will be using bad brm and burning their roll on one game, make the 22 go to a 215 FREEZOUT, today which goes to the 700 qualifier tomorrow and scrap the 215 2r1a sattelite format.

thanks

Perfect!
