An idea for introducing a low stake turbo cube without changing the schedule too much:

Change the 17:45 ET 11$ Turbo 20k gtd to a 11cube turbo and increase the guarentee a bit.
There's already a 16.5$ Turbo @ 17:30 ET, I feel like these tournaments are way too similar in such a short period of time. It being a 1R1A would be a nice change.

this ever happened to anyone else?

i was looking in the lobby for unfilled tables to see where i might sit when i late reg'd. i had an 8 handed table open and clicked register in the main lobby. i was then sat at that table, but it then made me disconnected. i couldnt see my cards, and not only could i not see them, they were "small", as if they belonged to someone else. i also wasnt in my default seat. i then left the table and sat back down, and it connected me.

wait is table selecting actually considered scummy?
i wasnt even table selecting, i was really just seeing if i recognized names and opened up a bunch of 8 handed tables, but now i'm genuinely curious if trying to get sat at a soft table is considered scummy.
if you are watching a mega satty and click register the second it end to try to get the same table as the satty winners, is that scummy?

At least one daily 8-Game tournament with a guaranteed prizepool would be nice.

I play as samuelbt on stars. And was wondering if we could get enough attention to get a daily 215 running. 1000 people and thats 200k guar. How would there not be enough traffic to meet this guarantee everyday when the 162 gets like 900 runners and is only an 80k guar?

If this is kinda a dumb suggestion then id rather a mod lock this. Just thought alot of the midstakes guys would love a 215 structured like the milly, 10k starting 20/40 blinds.

Anyways hopefully this gets some attention?

Well if the 162 gets 600-800 players why do you think the 200 would get 1000?

I still like it. Start it the same time as the 100r.

Just call it the Big 215, slap some red/emboldened text on it & they will come.

Nawh, never. What's Gtd on the 162? 75k ish?

Maybe it could do with 100k, maybe slightly less due to the higher buy-in.

yessir! if pokerstars insists on seating all the mega-satty winners together, if someone wants to try to reg the second the mega satty ends, more power to them!

why do you guys have to be so nitty with some of the guarantees? Like the hotter 16.50 gets 100k+ every sunday, why not make it a 100k gtd and attract a few more recreational players?

The difference of blind-level jumps in the PLO and PLO8 to the NLO8 Weekly is absurdly immense.

Please use the NLO8 stucture for all of these events, PokerStars.
After 10 levels (150 min), the blinds are 3x higher in the pot-limit events. Thats bonkers.

Please quote this post if you agree.

pokerstars testing Progressive Knockout tournaments (as seen on Sky Poker)

Progressive Knockout tournaments are a more exciting version of regular Knockout tournaments. Eliminate opponents and increase your bounty as you earn cash rewards!.
In a progressive knockout tournament, a percentage of every knockout bounty goes to increasing the bounty of the player who caused the knockout. For example, if a player has a $10 bounty on him and the increase percentage for the tournament is 25%, then the player who knocks him out would win $7.50 and their bounty would increase by $2.50. If a player in the same tournament had increased their own bounty to $20 then the player who knocked them out would get $15 and increase their own bounty by $5.
You can find progressive knockout tournaments in the main lobby - they are marked with a red ‘crosshair’ symbol. Alternatively, type ‘knockout’ into the tournament filter to quickly find what you’re looking for!

I stopped playing the 8c a while ago because of this. Seems it should have the same structure as other 1r1a trnys rather than the terrible one it has now
