We're approaching satellites a bit differently for KO Week. We're evaluating performance on a daily basis, and adjusting the next day's offering accordingly. Each day you find satellites for that day through to the first event of the next day.

This.

yeap. stopped playing them since they changed the structure (unless there is an event i reaaally want to play and haven't qualified yet)

having said that, and since i like knockouts, i'd probably pay a $5 deadline to the $55 knockouts or a $7-11 to the $82-$109 events, but whoever made the schedule setting these at $16.5, $27 and $33 accordingly must know a thing or two more (i hope)

I mean, deadline sats would be fine if they were raked as hypers. They're not intended to be grinder-friendly, we get that. The intention is to give as many people as possible a last chance at winning a seat. Just drop the rake to reflect the miniscule potential for profit that exists for any players in these games, and even those of us who actually know/care about the rake we're paying will be more inclined to play them.

Bryan has insisted multiple times that the generation of rake is not even a consideration when he's designing games, which is of course either a lie or mindblowingly stupid, but if there were any truth to this whatsoever then presumably the 10% rake on deadline sats would stand out like a sore thumb.

there was never a time when low entrant to seat ratio deadline sats were not overpriced relative to their structure

ye, i cannot see a third option either

i noticed this the other day as well. annoying, would def play it if it gave me more time to remember to reg. almost as if they are trying to discourage reg speed sats...

Once again, can you please change the 22+ 6max Sat to the 700Aussie into a Fullring-Sat?
I think today it didnt start once and thats on an Tuesday.
At peak time a lot of players dont like to play 6m but maybe FR.

Yeah all of the aussie mill 6-max 22rs cancelled today. Full ring all the way.

But at least the structure was better, not this new 5-4-3 minute levels

still not seen the hourly running of the fixed limit holdem hypers.

hey bryan,

how about some non-hyper Rd1 satties for the $82 and $109 Rd2s for the Wednesday $320, the Thurday Thrill and the Super Tuesday??
i'd suggest $7.5 deep turbos for the $82 ones [the non-reentries please] and $11 for the $109. or the old turbo ones w/ 1,500 starting stack and either 5' or 10' blind levels (cause even the 10' blind levels play kinda like turbos due to the blinds).
i also liked the turbo sats with the 3K starting stack that you used for the #1billion tour.
basically pretty much any other form other than the 500chips hypers would be great.

unless of course you don't want micro-low buy-in players having a chance to play these.

thanx

There is no 180s except for a $35 regging right now

Whaddup with that?

Hello,

There is an issue with Sit & Gos not re-generating at the moment. We are working to have the problem resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Baard

Hi Baard,

Yes, I sent an email to your support to let them know about the issue right after I posted.

You can thank me by giving me a months' free pass to the boom switch!


Cheers,
Gary

Hello again,

The issue has now been resolved, and new tournaments are again being spawned.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Baard

You can get $82 entries via steps fwiw. Just need to win first 2 levels.

These steps deserve more traffic imo!!!!

Love the Steps MTT idea that was mooted a few pages back. A daily (or even weekly) $7.50 that guarantees a few $215s, $82s and $27s would surely be a huge hit, and it'd have the added bonus of boosting traffic in both the MTT schedule and the Steps SNGs.

Also can we get an FPP megapath to the Thursday Thrill pls, the Super Tuesday model would be great but a week-long path like the current PCA one would be even better!

Step expansion response pls.

ok so i assume its not happening now. I guess it shows a greater picture. theirs no point in me making an effort on stars anymore because i can guarantee that should i make a significant amount i will be falsely accused of something have my roll seized and then banned.

I recognize the patterns of behavior from many other experiences in my life. Meh I have already moved to other sites anyway.

Stars fail to promptly roll out hourly FL hyper mtts with 5% rake = the whole world is rigged against you

life is hard sometimes

its more that they were going to but once realized i really liked the idea decided they didn't want to in order to spite me because they personally dislike me.

ultimately the grand scheme of things i dont make much from those games and long term they would be a distraction if i ever wanted to make any seriously money from poker. its just that the behavior indicates that iuf i ever did make any serious money from poker stars, they would do something about that.

your worldview sounds like it is filled with paranoia. nobody at stars is out to get you bro.

actually i have had almost every friend i have ever had say i was paranoid I have had a counselor i was seeing say i was paranoid and well pretty much everyone I have ever known has said that I am paranoid.

clearly I am, however as the old saying goes there is no smoke without fire, the reason I am so paranoid is I have had a lifetime of people stabbing me in the back and doing ridiculous stuff to me.

From the weird religious school that believed if you had a disability ( I dont have a disability but most of the world would disagree with that statement) you were bad in a past life and thus actively picked on me.

to the school that had another asperger student decide to stab someone so now we are all nutters and murders and thus picked on me and encouraged other students to.

to the girl that i fancied in high school who i thought was a good friend but then they got in charge of the yearbook and made a point of putting nearly everyone in it but me until another guy involved with it at the last minute decided i was to much of a character not to have in.

then there is university where the guy i thought was my best friend literally turned out to be a professional con artist.

the university itself supporting extremist students who picked on me, (they were investigated under suspicion of terrorism I do not know if they were found guilty in the end)

then the examiner at university who literally tried to mess with my time i actually tripped him up on appeal in front of the head examiner (not literally got him to contradict himself) and was allowed to sit the exam again as a first sit.

then there was the entire year at university who struggled in the statistics module which I was getting whole grades above a first in so i tutored the whole year almost, and then they had a go at people for been my friend seriously!

then the students who i had helped more then others who tried to sabortarge me academically literally.


two employers that have literally said because I am on the autistic spectrum i learn slower so they no longer want to employ me, ( yes I know I could have sued but my word against theres)

to well i could go on but do not want to derail.

there is a reason why I am paranoid.
