you could also do this another way - let people use step 3 ticket for Big $75 and credit them with T $7, I guess small development effort would be required.

Good example.... 5Q that is in 25 minutes use to be a 20k guar.. it use to hit the guarntee everytime... Good touranment for a lot of people.... For some reason stars lowered it to 8,

You have the best site on the planet, time to keep it the best!

The 20c use to be huge, You lwd the guarntee and slowly its getting small. You completely killed the 50r.

Look at some of the guarntees. More poker , Less Turbo. Restore we are poker and not we are carnival

I'm actually really looking forward to all the Weekly $82s this weekend. I plan to play almost all of them. Hopefully all their prizepools will be smashed and subsequently be able to be increased in the following weeks, we'll see. And I wanted to say thanks for increasing all their starting stacks to 5k.

"Having a page for Weekly Champions, and some sort of leaderboard for the year is a much better idea to promote these games".
- Someone said this earlier in the thread, and I think it is a seriously great idea, which I would absolutely take part in, and I'm sure that others would too. And it would hopefully encourage people to venture into other games that they wouldn't normally play.

However (as many have already said), I still think that it's ridiculous for the big bet O8 tournaments to have been reduced, as well as for their guarantees to have been reduced with them. (It would benefit me for them to be $82 rather than $215, but even still I think that they should be $215 buyins.) And particularly it's ridiculous that the new weekly $82 NLO8 has such a small guarantee of $5k, yet just 45 minutes after it, there is the "Sunday" $82 NLO8 PKO, with a guarantee of $30k! Imo either keep the $82 Sunday, leaving it as 6-max and return the Weekly to $215, or just correspondingly increase the $82 Weekly's guarantee by a lot. I guarantee that it will smash the $5k this Sunday.

Also as O8 has been talked about so much lately, PLEASE add in a decent mid buy-in FLO8 tournament at some point during the week, preferably on an evening, and around the $27-$55 buyin level. The guarantee doesn't even have to be that big, just like $500-$1000. It's such a shame that there's just basically nothing above the $5 FLO8s.

Also I agree with this. It's really a shame that there is basically nothing during the week for either of those 3 formats above the micros, until the Weeklies. Yet 8-game and 2-7 TD low/mid-stakes cash is pretty popular. The daily $33 Horse is great, so something like that for these would be awesome, even if it wasn't every day. The nightly $109 Horse almost never gets many runners, so again I think a $27-$55 buyin would be optimal.

In Pokerstars 7 you literally cannot find these games unless you specifically go digging through the filters. So many extra clicks just to even have them displayed in the lobby. They also aren't anywhere to be found in the Events tab (while Omaha is). I doubt the fields for these will be very big with the autoupgrade to PS7 and the extreme difficulty finding them in the lobby.

+1 what rounder says

And please give all these non-nlhe players a seperate thread.
Its getting ridiculous having to get through 100 posts about the same 5 tournaments each time.
11-20-2014 , 02:42 PM
seperate threads for nlhe/mixed game mtts would be beneficial
11-20-2014 , 04:27 PM
+1 on separate threads

So much this! These PLO hi/lo players are actually a different breed of human being. They can write the longest posts multiple times and continue doing so for months on end. Pls SEPARATE so that the 10 players in the world who play hi/lo can have their own thread.. They don't mind splitting this thread with NLH regulars coz they all love splitting pots so much anyway..
11-20-2014 , 05:52 PM
Done!

inb4 endless broke ninja post about structures of 2$ plo hi/low mtts, but yeah i agree ,

also: rounders for president
11-21-2014 , 12:57 AM
To be fair, if NLH players had as much heart to write long detailed posts we'd probably had good changes back in December.
11-21-2014 , 04:27 AM
Yeah I would agree with a non-NLHE mtt thread being better, if it would be taken seriously, and preferably started/made by someone like Bryan.
11-21-2014 , 01:02 PM
Bryan, this probably isn't of high importance but i've noticed a couple of the 82cent turbo mtt's have been ending late registration approximately 90 seconds early (2.30am NZT, 11.15am NZT, sorry cam't convert timezones atm). It doesn't happen every day but it has happened multiple times this month in both of these and maybe a couple of others throughout the day. Haven't noticed it at all in any other MTTs apart from the 82cent turbos. Thnx.

Would be awesome to consider adding a Deepstack major 109/162$ like a 2 day event saturday or sunday whatever,but a real deepstack with a slow structure (30 min level) with a decent guarantee or just a daily 109$ deepstack with a decent guarantee. Also this

''Good example.... 5Q that is in 25 minutes use to be a 20k guar.. it use to hit the guarntee everytime... Good touranment for a lot of people.... For some reason stars lowered it to 8,
