I don't know if this is the right suggestion area, but please please make a higher buyin version of the $8 Sunday Mil 36 man 2x shootout, for the Sunday 500!

So like a $20 36 man 2x shootout, where first gets Sunday 500 ticket.

Scheduled MTTs and satties thread in MTTc - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...hread-1283667/

Hey MTTSNGers,

As someone who has just turned pro playing (almost exclusively) these games, Im very glad I stumbled across this thread. I've been through most of it and would like to send my thanks to Baard for doing such a good job, the MTTs equivalent thread seems to have a much poorer response, so glad we have Baard.

I just have a few Q's/ suggestions for now:

- Read earlier on about 2 hourly breaks being trialed in 27 mans with the possibility of them being introduced to 18 mans too. What progress has there been in this? Any time line for their introduction to 18s? or do I just need to buy a piss bottle?

- How about introducing a progressive KO MTTSNG?

Thanks

Also, It would be great if there was a favourites option for different sngs and at different stakes. I sometimes like to play many different game types at once and the filter really hinders my game selection. Having a personalised favourites tab that I could populate with the SNG/MTT SNG variants I may play would be ideal

Another thing that would help anyone playing multiple game types, such as myself, would be the option of being able to change the table graphics according to the type, in some way. For example being able to make Fiftyfifty tables red, KO tables green etc. Just makes it a split second quicker than reading. Sounds petty but I know it would allow me to multitable more efficiently.

Thanks again

What is the reason Stars isn't loading multiple of the high volume popular SNGMTT's in the lobby at once? The 2.5 180man turbo and 3.5 45man turbo come to mind as tourneys that fill up fast, but still they aren't loading optimally to fit the demand.

They start up every few minutes at primetime, this could be increased easily by 50% if you had 2 going at once for each format in the lobby. I'd love to see Stars implement this for a week during peak hours. Seems like both sides would beneift as more games will run.

It's been years and they still don't do it, Full Tilt do it - and it works out really well on there.

or we could just ban recreational players completely! That would be an even better way to get 100% reg fields!

How would being able to register multiple games discourage fish?

I think they're more likely to play multiple games if they see a game they want to play, then see there's two of them filling up.

mttsng leaderboard whould be so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope they make one

LOL no.

There are already far too many tournaments open for registering on the SNG tab, we certainly don't need any more clutter in there; if anything there should be an exercise resulting in a massive reduction of open lobbies, to concentrate people in games and allow them to get started more quickly.

It might be ok for regs to look at the main lobby, when they can work the filters really well, but who wants a game full of regs? There will be plenty of randoms who don't use the filters at all, and they are faced with a bewildering choice of literally hundreds of SNGs — I just tried to count them, but I gave up at 300, and I wasn't even halfway down the scrollbar.

Under the SNG>Multi-Table>Micro tab alone there are 54 lobbies (I did count these). Most of them take forever to fill, or worst of all, never go off at all, like 16-man $1.50 FL Stud turbos. That's ridiculous, and adding yet more lobbies really isn't going to help in terms of driving volume.


It doesn't "work out really well" at all on Full Tilt; their volume has always been lol-bad for MTTSNG, even before BF and all that followed it. As of right now, there are currently just six MTTSNG tourneys running. That's six, for all games, formats, speeds and buyins, including satellites. In fact, they can't even get a single 18man to fire off this time of day, all lol-six of them are actually Rush on Demand. And considering that those are multi-entry, that means even fewer unique people playing, concentrating the regs even more. Given what it produces, doing the exact opposite of whatever FTP does seems to be a much better idea than copying them imo.

When I referred to Full Tilt, I was more talking about pre Black Friday, 90 man SNGMTTs. I think they allowed something like 3 at a time to be regging.

Lol at taking 35 180s out of the mtt lobby yet having 1.50 corchavel h/l 45s in the mtt lobby,

And I don't play 35s just saying

Hello all,

Catching up on a few questions:

Being able to break a tournament every second hour is something that we have in the development pipeline. However, with PokerStars 7 being the main priority these days, I cannot give you a timeline for when such a feature will be implemented.

Progressive KO is not a tournament type we have considered for MTTSNG’s before, so we need to have a think about that one. Is this something that many of you want to see deployed?

Favourites are coming in the mentioned PokerStars7

It is possible to set different table themes based on whether you are playing Ring Games, MTT’s, Sit&Go’s etc. Unfortunately, granulating this further is not something that us possible to do at the moment. I will add it to the list of potential improvements, but I wouldn’t expect to see it in the client anytime soon.

We put a high emphasis on reducing clutter in the lobby, so that is the main reason. Tournaments that appear in the Tourney/All tab will definitely not be deployed two at a time, but I will have a look at the numbers and see if we might do it with some of the other tournaments. Could be a good idea to do it during peak hours, at least.

Thanks
Baard

honestly, all KO tournaments ought to be Progressive KOs. The format is awesome and as more people become aware of them they will be super popular. As for MTTSNGs I'd suggest 90-mans as the perfect vehicle.

I also would like to see them be implemented for 90 mans (and/or 45 mans). Seems like so few of those games run anyway at the moment; nothing to lose in switching to a new format. Assuming they at least start off in the mtt lobby I expect they'd do well.

+1

On demand 180s will happen when ?

Add plenty of PLO HU MTTs please!

$10-$200 thanks. Turbos, hypers, KOs etc.

I requested first time couple years ago and still nothing??

+1 to more PLO formats/tourneys in general. Not keen on PLO hypers though.

If you mean on the schedule then please post here

Any chance of introducing 4-max SNGs, even at the micro level?

It's kinda like the median between Hypers and Turbos. Good feeder for 4-Max MTTs.

I think you would develope a great following. Great play with some of the 4-max satellites and MTTs that I regged in.

Hello all,

Just a few issues to deal with from the thread this week.

We were planning to develop this in the not so distant future, but at the moment that project is put on hold indefinitely.

We realize that this is something that many players want, but there is very limited room in the development pipeline for the time being.

Is this really a question for this thread, or are you talking about our Scheduled Tournament offering, as Team Trousers alludes to in his post?

Thanks,
Baard

Hi Baard,

What are the chances of Pokerstars developing a MTTSNG with similar structure/payout % to $3.19r 180 but say $6r - $9r?

Thanks

This is excellent news imo =/ The very first blind levels are the only ones where good edges can be exploited against loose passive players. Playing the first 4 blind levels with mostly regs was not something I was looking forward to
