+1 to having ZOOM SNGs the rush OD games just dont load the same anymore but bringing them onto stars would fix that imo i dont see a problem in it at all STARS should bring them in ASAP as the odd MTT here and there is just not enough.

could have also been the russian rec who starts stalling with 2 BBs at 40 left

re 180s: could the number of people showed with stacksizes in the lobby be extended form 25 to 30 since now there are 27 paid instead of 18?

+1 for zoom sngs

-999999999999999999999999 for zoom sng's

trick question, we can't

no zoom sngs, go put that **** over on FTP

Does this thread actually get any real responses???

All i see is ppl saying i they want zoom SNGs then ppl saying they dont what is really gonna happen its a simple Q.

The answer should be YES just look at how good the zoom mtts are doing smashing the daily GTDs so SNGs would do well imo.

Why are the APPT satellites labelled as "turbos" when they have 10 minute levels?

This is a poor argument, the Storm smashes it's guarantee each week so clearly we should be implementing 10-minute level MTTSNGs across the board (no we shouldn't)

Hello all,

Sorry for the delay in the posting this week, but I hope you will still find this post informative.

Do you want faster blind structures or just less time taken per hand? There are ways to speed up games with less time to act and caps on # of tournaments per player based on players’ average time to act.

Thanks,
Baard

That's a huge special tournament marked with red. ofcourse it's popular.

But the lousy 2$ 500$ guar zoom tournament gets 2000+ entrants every day.

The zoom schedule is really a joke compared to the demand.
like it or not.

Just the fact that there is an equal number of NLHE Zoom games and Omaha Zoom games.. makes no sense

This means that the guarantee for the Zoom MTTs is wrong. You can not use this as proof for demand for Zoom MTTSNGs, especially considering you're competing like-for-like against Turbo MTTs which at the $2 level regularly get several thousand runners.

Let's test the Demand for more zoom MTT's and see who is right

Why is there no 27 sng turbo's?
I play mainly 45,90 & 180's (all turbo) and would love a crack at the botp.
The only turbo mtts for them are the 18's,but I prefer the bigger fields.
Better still, Why not create a new tier to the botp covering 36-360 fields.
Isn't it time for 360 turbo larger bi's than 10c?
50c,$1 would be awsome

please no ZOOM MTTSNGs please nooooo

++1 for 27s turbos

Still no real reply all we want is an answer stars should test them out for sure.

Would like to see some kind of MTTSNG hypers - the $1 180 is super popular, so why not some $7s.


Not sure why people want these, they're very similar to 18s / 45s so they just dilute the players playing the other games.

I agree. This is what Fulltilt is known for, leave 'em there.

True but tilt lacks players right now and doesnt have hotkeys. No volume + no hotkeys = boring ! I would be in paradise if Stars puts some more zoom mtts and zoom mttsngs out there. What can I say, I love the zoom zoom!!

Imagine : zoom rebuys and zoom hypers all day/night long ! oh yyeahh

Adding more zoom to Stars kills Fulltilt traffic even more tho, so probably not on their best interest.

they are just crap FR, FT-average is like 2-3 BBs

what id like to see would be 7-max, 105ppl-hypers, 14 paid
bubbles would be fair:
15-->14 3 tables of 5
8 -->7 2 tables of 4

maybe even price jumps form 12->11 and 10->9

7-max doesn't look as bad as 8-max in the nova-theme

a 2.45+0.05 $ as trial would be awesome

Please do not underestimate the contribution of regs to the volume and popularity of the above mentioned games.

These games are extremely fragile and I strongly believe rely on regs filling up these games to act as starters and encourage recs to join these rapidly filling games.

I think this point is proven by the fact that fulltilt with 20k players only needs 36 to join a rush sng, yet they hardly ever run in the $12 buyins +, and even the $4 volume is low.

Equally stars in the gmt morning times has 80-90k players yet $8+ 45-180s struggle to fill - why no regs to fill up seats and then encourage recs to join. If you had 15 regs constantly registering on fulltilt rush games $12+ many more of these would run, but there are no regs registering these games and so they are dead.

Too many changes in the Stars formats, hurting regs, will risk in these mttsng's become like the current fulltilt sng graveyard - great shame as I used to love fulltilt!

Equally I appreciate that regs rely on recs being willing to play in order for enough games to run to make them profitable and worthwhile playing, so they should not be ignored but their whims should not be put first. If they are genuinely bored of waiting for hands then they should be adding another table as they clearly have the time to play it! This is +ev for everyone. Perhaps stars should be further encouraging recs to register for another table. The new button when knocked out of a 180 if a great idea, why not incorporate this option too as soon as one loads or halfway through, or something along these lines?

If recs say they cannot manage to play more than 2 tables at a time - let them know about your hotkey buttons (I bet not many even realise what these are, how they can help), this will help them to multitable and they will probably enjoy the novelty factor too and that it becomes even more like a video game.

Also whilst recs come and go it is the regular players who remain constantly loading these games enabling them to run and make pokerstars profits. If you limit regs to too few a tables, dilute the player pool with zoom, or hyper offerings then these players (gamestarters if you like), myself included will most likely be forced to switch to a more profitable hourly format, whether that be the new sng offerings, completely different sng's, cash games, or hopefully not but possible softer euro sites.
