***OFFICIAL Stars 2014 MTT Discussion Thread*** - Page 16 - MTT Poker Strategy

How about a Game-of-the-Month, like Big-Game-of-the-week on Full Tilt?

My idea for this:
There could be Micros, 11$ and 33$ with guarantees every day, a 55$ every Saturday, 109$ every Sunday, and a 530$ on the last Sunday of the month (215$ Weekly's could get twice of the usual guaranteed prizepool during their month)

yeah, how many years turbo rake has been in discussion? you never addressed it, quit ****ting on us.

same with the new schedule, total joke. you simply don't give a ****, it's all about making the most money (flatters payout structures, more turbos, more places paid) now ignoring everything else while you're the biggest

I'm just bitter and tired of stars business behavior post bf. It happens to every great company that becomes too big at some point. I understand it might look silly, sorry.

I think the WCOOP series look awezome, but I don't understand why the Sunday-Warmup-SE can't have the same awezome structure as the million has! Such a big difference in the end

The Warm-Up Special Edition has the same structure as the regular Sunday Warm-Up. The Million Special Edition is a 2-day event with a deeper structure than the Million normally has.

gotta agree with david on all points (particularly how overlapping a high buyin series with EPTs is just very poor planning) although the main thing i wish is that they had just announced it earlier so could've booked flights properly from vienna

This should be the name of the series. Naming it WCOOP just takes away the prestige of actually winning a WCOOP event.

Just like WSOP-C takes away the prestige of winning a WSOP event.

+1 to above two posts

People will assume that because it's called wcoop their regging a better structured tourney when actually it's no different to the warmup just false advertising by u guys to bump out the numbers.

At the very least, this WCOOP Challenge Series' version of the Warm-Up will have a much bigger prize pool (to go along with the big guarantee), plus it will award a WCOOP Main Event ticket to the winner. As it happens, we're discussing the structure. I'm not sure that altering it now is such a hot idea, as that would require changing it to a 2-day tournament. Still, only 44 players are registered right now, so we'll see how the discussion goes.

Bryan, was there any thought of adding a $215/$320 PLO8 or NLO8 in the WCOOP Challenge Series Part 2?

I'm a little bummed out that PLO was included both times while the two big bet O8 games get comparable numbers in the daily MTT schedule.

Please consider adding a PLO8/NLO8 event during the third series (if you decide to have one).

P/NLO8 is rather badly contained by limited amount of tournaments anyway. I'm sure if you would add some regular tournaments you would profit from it.

If you're gonna add anything please fill the void between b16.50 and h33

Suggestions include but not limited to:

Big $44 40k gtd

$22 10k gtd

$44 6m 500cap (reg or turbo pref both)

Big $75 instead of the 5k, it would easily get enough runners

$27KO / prog KO (literally no idea why these only run on .fr while generating tons of action)

$52 (25+25+2) daily superKO major 25k gtd (the 21$ one generates huge fields daily, time to up the ante imo)

Etcetc please stars

sorry for the typo.

It's such a dead zone. I'm grinding anything with a $1k+ guarantee just to get in some volume.

However on second thought adding some $11/$22 cap games during AS WELL would be nice.
