There is VERY few of them. I understand they are less popular but that doesn't mean you can't offer at least some. Personally, all I'm asking for is a single satellite to each of the daily bigs, starting approx. 3 hours before with the buyin being approx. 1/7th of the target buyin and SMOOTH blind jumps.

If you are not prepared to do this, at least smooth out the blind jumps in the turbos. Going straight from 25/50 to 50/100 is absurd, as is 400/800 straight to 600/1200.

Again the $109s to the $320 are not in the lobby since the $320 SKO popped a few hours back, and apparently it (and 181s to S500 after it pops Sunday) won't show back up until sometime late Sunday night my time or early Monday morning. Literally all you guys are doing is missing out on thousands of $'s of rake, making both regs and recs unhappy, and 'breaking' the traffic.

As I pointed out and actually proved during WCOOP 2014, when the $714 sat bi was missing in the lobby for quite some time and once the $714 to $2100 deadline sat showed up in the lobby the traffic all started flying off again from $238-1700, when every buyin is not in the lobby, it messes up the traffic patterns at not just that buyin level (since it's not there, ldo), but at the bi levels surrounding it as well.

There have been quite a lot of recreational players firing off a lot of $109/$181 sats recently, and I am sure that they are/will be disappointed when they cant get in some fast paced action on Saturday and Sunday evening at a game they enjoy; you're not just hurting regs (and yourselves obv, all dat rake), but also recreational players.

I beg you, again, to please put the next weeks event in the lobby literally minutes after the current event pops. I would be completely fine with there only being 1 lobby of each $181>$530 and $109>$320 until the day of the event, as you've done with the Sunday Mil sats, just please put them there!

why are there no 27$ or 22$ deep turbo for SM 9th?

Theres no reason to make 7.5$ deep and 11$ deep, 11$/7.5$ and 22$ is da nuts!

Bryan can you run the 8.8$ 36-man 2x Shootout sats for the SM 9th a few days earlier? There is enough people who would play in my opinion.

The .88cent 3Xs to the SM aren't showing up in the rebuy section under satellites when my filter is for all NL rebuys from $0-$200. The $1.65's show but these don't.

0 ept sats until over 2 hours after super tues has started today, clear mistake. should be running them when your hs players are online and reging

That's quite strange. I've passed this along to those responsible for SM9A. Thank you.

You may be right. I've also passed this bit of feedback along to those responsible for SM9A. Thank you.

As for the posts about Hyper-Turbo satellites to targets which have just started, we understand that those who grind them would like them available around the clock. Having said that, I must remind those players that the S&G in question are satellites first and foremost. We certainly don't mind that many players use them strictly for grinding, with no intention of playing the target(s), but their scheduling is always going to be determined by what is best for the various targets, not what is best for grinding opportunities.

You make these off-the-cuff decisions, providing no reasoning or consultation with the players.

You don't need to remind us that the games are satellites, because it's all you ever say, There's never reasoning for your decisions except that canned "not made for grinders" reply.

Removing the games from the lobby:
  1. No sats for recreational players to play
  2. No Rake for Pokerstars
  3. No VPPs for "grinders"
  4. Drives players to other games
  5. Sats die

To cite one specific example, there is no urgent need for a Hyper-Turbo satellite to next week's Saturday Super-Knockout 5 minutes after the current Saturday Super-Knockout has begun. While I understand that those who are grinding those satellites for T$ would like to continue doing so, regardless of whether or not the Saturday Super-Knockout is in progress - because after all they have no intention of playing in the Saturday Super-Knockout - the decision on when those satellites will reappear has solely to do with what is best for the Saturday Super-Knockout, not what is best for the grinders of that satellite. That's the decision I'm talking about, and what goes into it.

There's "no urgent need" that is your reason?

Why don't you consider this... EVERYBODY who has qualified for the Saturday Super-KO via a hyper-sat and decided to play it IS ONLINE 5mins AFTER THE SUPER-KO STARTS! To achieve your objective of getting more people to qualify for the target MTTs, you should offer these hyper-sat when your target audience is online.

The Hyper-Turbo satellites are most effective - e.g. most "sticky" (that is to say, seats won are seats used) - when the seats are won shortly before the tournament starts. Filling up the satellite lobby with Hyper-Turbo satellites to something a week away does not make sense for anyone other than T$ grinders. With 475+ guaranteed tournaments per day, there are many other better opportunities for Hyper-Turbo S&G satellites in the lobby 5 minutes after the start of the Saturday Super-Knockout (to continue with our example here). We're simply not going to fill up said lobby with Hyper-Turbo satellites to something that doesn't start for 6 days and 23 hours.

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:

Bryan, consider this please. Just one single non-turbo satellite to each of the daily bigs.

Why not just keep a core offering of:
1x $181 > Sunday500
1x $109 > SuperKO
1x $74 > SundayMillion
1x $37 > SundayKickoff

That's 4 lobbies (capping each at 1 lobby). FOUR lobbies, for 1 week, when you have 475 guaranteed tournaments per day.

It's such a small change, literally all we want is that $109 back in 36 hours earlier, and the $37/$74/$181 back in the lobby ~12 hours earlier. Is removing them really going to help your 475 guaranteed tournaments per day?

If you want to have less games in the lobby cap the max for each hyper-sat, don't remove them from the lobby please?! If you said "hyper-sats are taking up too much space in the lobby" we can help you come up with a solution that works for everyone.

Is there any plan to finish that development of being able to continue to offer hyper sats to an mtt that has already began? That would alleviate some problem as the 'grinders' who are straight playing solely for $Ts would not play in those games, while also allowing for the buyin/satellite to be in the lobby for the duration of some/all of late reg. I would certainly like that myself since I do play many of the target tournaments

This is the sort of bs that Pstars would write to justify running sats after the tourney starts to alleviate overlays. Many people reg to a tourney with the hope that there's an overlay.

I recall reading from a Stars rep that Stars doesn't have the ability to run sats after the target tourney but I also recall that issue getting resolved in last years WCOOP.
