Hi Uhrenknecht, off peak time 45 mans run like every 20 minutes which IMO is not good. Even durning peak time, 6pm-12am GMT at a given buyin they run around 10 minutes IIRC.

For Regs this is not great since they cant play as many tables as they like within the same format but its not the end of the world overall since they have other games going and generally play a wider range of game types. Recreational and very part time "pro" players however would generally play one or two specific formats. If these games don't run often enough and frankly in today's age having to wait more than five minutes is "long" for someone who wants to be able to login and be playing within five minutes, then they would get turned off by poker stars. And frankly if poker stars cannot offer continuous games in the formats they have available then no other site could due to traffic issues, in which case these recreational players would go off poker. I also feel that the 45 mans are not great for the entire MTT-SNG universe because they only offer games up to $30; both Regs and Recs would like and should have the option to play over this don't you think? I just think that merging (what i consider unpopular) formats to create slightly fewer game-types but by doing so making them ALL popular, easily running for recreational players and the ability to play lots of table of that type at the same time for Regs. So by perhaps merging 45mans and/or 90mans and/or 180s into on demand games for example you accomplish all these things

They need to redesign/replan the stakes speeds and field sizes from the ground up.

I would be happy if 6/9/18/45/180/MTT stay and 12/27/90/360 all go. They also need to can some of the stake levels. $1 and $1.50 should not both be there. Go 2 cents (i.e. that hyper thing, but it could be a 180 if we want consistency), 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.50, 5.00, 10.00 with each size alternating speed as you go up (so the 50 cent 180 is a turbo, the dollar one is reg speed, the 2.50 is a turbo again etc).

If there are going to be both 10 minute and 15 minute MTTSNGs then they should be properly labelled in the client. Otherwise can 15 mins (much as it pains me to say it).

Hey guys, don't want to be an ass, just want to ask you something: Are you nuts? PS rep was here only once in the last 6 months, do you think they give a sh** about your requests? Why do you think Spin&gos were introduced? Not for increasing traffic or developing 180s for sure. Don't waste the time on this forum and enjoy them as long as they still run.

Please run on demands during off peaks hours. Could just simply replace every 27 man+ with these during off peak imo.

WHY the 15s-180 are gone from Lobby?

Regardless of the time of day, make them all so that they start anyway after 10 mins in the lobby and allow late registration for 4 levels or until they make the player cap (at peak times most would already start fully subscribed). At least there would be some point in signing up for some of them then and they might run more.

T500 for all 180s and 15 sec time bank added once FT is reached!

<3
I admire your enthusiasm, but it's getting a bit "band still playing on the deck of the Titanic" around here lately

can we get bb25000 added to the 3r 180s please?

Hi,

Any chance to see CAP tournaments on PS again ?

That would make sense after PS/FTP merge.

8) I used to love the 180 Rebuys since they offers low rake and deeper stacks but now they are COMPLETELY Reg filled, I actually find they have more Regs in them than the $15! I know ill step on some toes hear but what do people think about removing the Rebuys and changing the 180 buyins to like $2.5, $6, $15, $30, $50. For sure the $8 and $15 games are close enough together that they should be merged IMO. You could avoid the outcry of removing the 180 Rebuys by giving us 3000 stacking stacks with a slightly slower blind structure across all the other 180 mans? Another solution which is like drastic is to simply remove say the $15 FO and add a higher buyin 180 Rebuy which i would prefer also.The golden SNG promotion worked really well and you could run this at the start of the new structure. Or if you completely remove the 180s and have On Demand games as others have suggested then having a 10 minute late Reg feature should ensure that the tournament size doesn't go too high

wouldnt be as bad as people think. would be better for the economy long term I used to always want this. But with stars killing rb maybe not

45 mans have always been a drag on the 180 economy. Dragging the fish into lower roi games for russians to fight over is never a good idea

There's just no point in making any creative suggestions. We're stuck with the current offering unless someone else takes the reigns of SNGs.

QFT right there!!! ^ ^

$7-$8 rebuy 180's have been suggested sooooooooooo much in the past (because EVEYONE agrees they'd be the shiz) and have never even been considered (prolly cuz stars don't want too many following an unraked rebuy system).

lock it up

I would like to see 180 man hypers with higher buy-ins.

Get rid off all the non turbos SNG from the 27 man up to the 180s and just offer 45s and 180s and maybe make them PKO and also add the t500 in the 180 blind structure maybe something like

$1.50 45 man
$3.50 180 man PKO (Maybe making this a rebuy one)
$7.00 45 man

Thoughts?

No 90s are great right now, can try adding reg speed Pko 90s but doubt stars even looks at this thread anymore.

having $1.50 and a $2.50 90s SNGs is just retared imo it takes forever for them to fill and they´re basically killing the traffic between eachother.

How about turning my $3.50 180 PKO proposal into a 90s man? and just offer a unique 180s buy in offpeak under a OnDemand format with 20-30min of latreg? Dunno im just brainstorming here i just would like to see the traffic in non turbos SNGs to go up a bit.

^How about you come back when you have a proposal that doesn't involve removing game types or speeds entirely?

^How about you leave people alone to speak their minds about whatever they want?

^What if I want to speak my mind against you campaigning for other people's games to be stopped? What's the actual difference between what you're doing and the live poker interests who got online poker stopped in the USA in order to help their own games run better?

Yes, there need to be cuts if stuff isn't running properly, but keeping a spread of sizes and speeds.

By the way pretty much the below has now been implemented by Unibet, so far only 1 euro 18 mans but they're hoping to build from there:

^ Sorry if the above sounds aggressive. Nothing personal meant.

It's really in reply to a lot of the posts in this thread, not just yours.

no biggie sir, you`re still one of my favourites postes in the forum

people still doubt this? that is very optimistic.

Baard got bored of this thread ages ago. Perhaps more depressing is the fact that Keith has now also given up supporting the software thread
