^disaggree with the above. obv 6max is not the more popular format, otherwise most mtts would be 6max and not fr.
the difference between waiting for 3 more instead of 6 more players is significant, but so is the difference between having 3/6 regs instead of 3/9 playing at the same sng.

having said that, i don't see why they shouldn't add 6max steps alongside FRs as another variant.

6 max STT's are significantly more popular than 9max. Is what I meant.

With regards to the fish to reg ratio argument, I did consider it. In the end I decided its not as you would think. It's not like when the 82/215's do run they're filled with "fish", and that's especially true the higher up the steps you'll get.

When they run they're filled with generally good/very good players. This is exactly why they will run on Tuesdays and Sundays only pretty much. What I propose just means they'll run more often.

EDIT: in fact, in the case of the 700 and 2100 level it might mean players can play in softer games. As things stand, if you play on Sunday you've gotta face Chidwick, Smokrok et al to name just 2

Definitely up for having them alongside each otehr,

6 Max Steps is a great idea for 700+ at least. Very often 5-6 people will reg, 2 hours pass and no one else shows interests, everyone slowly leaves and the games don't run.

Agreed that the demand is higher at the higher levels.

Definitely feel like the case for this is strong.

Baard was active yesterday so maybe he can reply to see if it's a possibility at least.

Any update on showing all rounds for a satellite path in the lobby? So if you want to reg for "Sat [Rd1]", you can see in the lobby how many rounds total there are until the target tournament? Seems like this shouldn't be that hard and when I asked a long while ago you said you were already working on it.

Can you add bb500 and bb1000 to deep turbos? Pls

I just heard about this...just terrible...pokerstars is a totally different and much worse company now...

and only one 3x turbo to the mill per hour during the week!?!? or at least that is all i am seeing on there right now...what a shame...couldn't you at least have a few of them an hour? why not try starting 3 or so of them at the same time (or at least during peak hours)? sunday millions have been getting smaller it seems to me and you could make them bigger (and other tourneys too) and make more money if you would just do the right things (hint: like more satellites during peak hours )

Also, why do you only run the $8 sun mill turbo rebuys on Sundays? Why not every day?

this!!!^

Yes, please add back the 2.22r 2x to sunday million at least during peak hours. It was extremely popular and would always run. Also agree the 1.5r 3x should run more often there are 200+ players in everyone

yep great idea...they definitely did

+2

love this idea, really want the $2.22 back atleast at peak hours, or lower min amount of players required....

more $1.65+R is great idea too I think you will have no problem running them, please add more for hundreds of players that play and want them.

Stars really needs to offer some satty's that aren't turbo. Sure, a lot of people like turbo and hyper sats, but their motto has always been about offering the widest selection of games to suit all needs and they are failing to do this here.

I would guess that the new 'deep turbo' sats were aimed at addressing this, but that's not the right way to go about it IMO. Increasing the size of the starting stack only delays getting to the point of it being a crapshoot, it doesn't prevent it from happening.

My suggestion would be quite the opposite. Start players with only 40-50 BB's but increase the level times from 5 minutes to 8 or 10, and have smooth even blind jumps, not the terrible staggered and uneven ones there are now. Something like this maybe:



Also, the satellite buyin shouldn't be 1/10th of the target's buyin, that's too low IMO, eg. $2.75 satty's to the big $27.50 should be $4.40 instead.

Agree some non turbo sats be great. 10% ratio is fine imo and should be the standard, close enough to what regular mtts payout.

Is it me or is PS7, live sats view really broken?
For EPT Grand Final you can'f find any Step Gs if you look under SNG (For EPT GF). If you look under Direct Satellits then you don't find any either, nor do you find the €2100 satellite that runs today.



If you then go to Event Schedule and open the €13232 entry, then you find them (both Step G and the €2100 euro sat).



Under SNG with variant Steps you also don't find any of the Step's for live tournament (Step F -> EPT Malta, Step G -> EPT Malta….)

With good old PS6 it was very easy to find them all.

Wonder if there are other hidden stats :-)

6m hyper-sats still not respawning after Sat/Sun MTTs start, how much longer is this going to go on for until you realise it's doing nothing but missing out on rake and pushing people away from hyper-sats?

The ppl who use the T$ are the players who anyway play SM.

I say it again; just introduce a hyper 6max triple up sng.

Has Stars stopped offering sats to the $11 1000 seats gtd SM sat? I could swear they were offering them before.

I'm not sure if this is possible, though I do know that you can follow the path simply by clicking on the 'Satellite to' in the lobby for each round. I will ask our resident PS7 expert about whether or not this is being worked on for the future. Thank you for the reminder.

Which ones, specifcally?

We do run non-turbo satellites. Having said that, turbo satellites are more prevalent on the schedule due to the fact that they're more popular. Non-turbo satellites have tended to become rare on the schedule due to the fact that, over time, they have been demonstrably less popular... often cancelling due to lack of participation.

I'll check on this; thanks for the heads-up!

Don't you just use the same structure for them all, the ones I play and are missing the levels are super tues, thrill, big 162, big 109. Iirc

Hello, everyday we have x3 turbo satelites to live tournaments in assia region. 22r x3 to macao. 16r x3 to other. but why we dont have more x3 turbo sattelites to Euro live tours. only 1 tourney every evening 11r x3 to ukipt 1100e tourney to UK tour. can you add more x3 turbo to all live tours. eureka, estrela, even to EPT like 55r x3 to 5300 should be really awesome. i think you started 11r x3 to 1100e IPT Malta. but its like 3 weeks till tourney start, and like 2 sattelites in week. Should be nice to play more x3 turbo. satellites to live tourneys who will start after 60-90 days. so we can plan our trips and play more sattelites. We want atleast 1 sattelite to 11r x3 to 1100e Player choise or to next live tour every day.

I agree with ppls that 1.65 x3 to SM have always like 200+ players so you should run 2 or 3 sattelites in hour.

ENJOY YOUR OVERLAYY IN THE 9 million

Dont make live event sats start earlier, the only reason he wants this is so he can have more shots to win more seats and keep the $t, which will make live event sats tougher for recs to win.

Also dont add more x3 sm sats, this wud shrink the fields in these.

Why Can i even see woman tournaments even I cant play them? Let me at least filter them!

Also I would suggest a filter for live sats. Most of them dont even fill up.

I think it would be good to have at least one 3x rebuy sat each for the hot 44/55/75/109. Can time them so they end just as each target mtt starts if you dont want players to unreg (so around 2hrs 30mins before). These mtts just have freezeouts as mtt sats which I dont like much due to the very high rake. Having 3 fo sats (not counting hypers) to the hot 75 doesnt seem anywhere near enough for such a popular but high variance mtt, you have way more for the big 109/162.

Would also be good to have sats to a 109 or 215 turbo during peaktime, although I know you have said sats will only be for red mtts.
