*** OFFICIAL PokerStars MTTSNG Suggestion Thread *** - Page 108 - MTT Poker Strategy

Now you can start looking in the lobby. We have just deployed a $5 Progressive KO Turbo tournament.

It will replace the $7 Regular Speed KO tournament.

Thanks,
Baard

Sweet

Thanks for this but in my opinion its a fail as its structured badly and doubt its going to be a popular choice, if u made it a super ko sng rather than a progressive i think it might have a chance of rivalling 180 ts, but all in all thanks for listening anyway as the 7ko was dead.

I hear you have added breaks in the $1.50 18 mans? Will you be spreading these breaks across higher buy ins also? Would be cool.

I think that paying 27 players is the best way to preserve a good playing experience for everyone, so we will not revert on this for the time being.

i think thats a bit less "statistical" of an analysis than the one we hoped to discuss with you bard

and allow me to point out that if you paid 30% of the field it would also be a "good playing experience" for 200% as many players as it is now it doesnt make it a better idea

Progressive super KO format is perfect for fields of 90+, where a standard super KO becomes pointless as nobody cares about a half a buyin bounty when they're at the FT. I can see the current $5 games becoming more and more popular in their current form, and I think it was a great idea to make them turbos. My only complaints would be the rake (which is an argument I'm unlikely to win) and the buyin, which ought to have been $7.50 to enable the step 1 tickets to be used. A $27 buyin, accepting step 2 tickets, would surely be popular too; hopefully this is the next step!

Bit of a long shot but is there any chance of the $2.50 180s ever shifting up a little to $3.50? It would match with the buyin levels for most other MTTSNGs which go 1 - 3.50 - 7 and would make them a much more attractive offering I think. I doubt a $1 buyin increase would upset the micro guys too much and you'd get more rake if the volume stayed the same.

Would be nice for off peak when needing to top up tables a bit

I like the $5 progressive turbos and hope they are there to stay.
It would be sweet to see a few different buyin levels or a couple of the same structured tourneys in 45 person mttsng form.
Also not sure if it's possible but I'd like to see turbo mttsngs have closer to 5-7% rake so that more people can beat the rake and just so it's more profitable.

I’ll let you know when the tournaments are deployed.

Can you please add a new badge when you read this?

But what about what we prefer, even in a monopoly you need satisfied customers. If you look at the (Omaha) SNGs where we can chose you see almost nobody plays 6-max. Guess your margins in full ring SNG's would be lower, but in return you'd get truly loyal customers and more or less captive markets.

These are the same arguments why we should have the option to multiregister any game. You'll get games that can't be played anywhere else and most pokerplayers are one stop shoppers. Another argument is the more of our favorites we can play the more other games we will play. More fun is worth more rake.

I like the $5 90-man turbo PKO SNGs a lot, thanks a lot for hearing our feedback.
If it gets more popular, please consider 180 man PKOs and also higher buy-ins too (such as $10 and $20)

Thanks pokerstars ^_^

I think there's enough KO madness at low stackes for now IMO! What about adding some more KO regulars at micro stakes? you have everything for turbo, what about regular games at those levels!? From 2.5$ to 4.5$ there isn't to much to choose above 45 man (only 4.5$ 180).
