***OFFICIAL Stars 2015 MTT Discussion Thread*** - Page 105 - MTT Poker Strategy

Bryan, what about making one of the micro 6-max during the afternoon (WET) a PKO? I'm really not into this whole PKO thing but I think that a 6-max with a $2.20 or $3.30 buy-in would actually make these tournaments interesting. I mean, I love to play them but there is no way the GTD rises more than 2k unless you make it a PKO and there would finally be a 6-max non turbo PKO with a BI cheaper than $5.

PS: If you end up doing it, please, don't mess with both of the 6-max. Leave at least one vanilla and make the other a PKO. Or simply add a 6-max non turbo PKO and leave other tournaments be.

Any word on adding a variable speed structure for rebuys/cubes/quads?

16:45 ADD $27 daily ante up
18:00 MOVE $109 quad -> 19:30
19:30 MOVE 55r big antes turbo -> 20:30
20:30 DELETE $55 6max
20:30 MOVE $109 turbo -> 21:00

what this is essentially doing:
- converting the $55 turbo ante up into a daily $27 ante up in a timeslot that is 15 minutes after the old turbo and fits in nicely with the rest of the "dailys"

- moving the 109 turbo cubed to a later time to make way for the new premier event, the $109 turbo PKO. The new turbo cubed timeslot fits halfway between the $109 turbo 30k and the $215 turbo 25k.

- adding the new 109 turbo pko

- moving the 109 quad reg speed to make way for 109 the turbo cubed

- moving the 55r big antes to make way for the 109 quad

- deleting the 55 6max bowl comp to make room for the 55r turbo big antes

- moving the 109 turbo to create more of a gap between the highstakes events around this time

essentially deleting 2 events, adding 2 much better events, and shuffling everything else around in between to make the transition between peak hour and the nightlys make more sense.

you could even call the $109 turbo pko something like The Hot $109 PKO

edit: i really reckon that late 109r should be either left alone as it is, or nothing should be changed apart from it becoming permanently 6max

Looks nice, but 109 6max PSKO is better as reg speed and not turbo imo - huge % turbos in the daily schedule and also a lot of people end their schedule around that time. Having bigger regular speed mtts will keep everyone at the tables for at least 2 hours more.
Ante up is great and needs some boost. The new Ante up can be bigger on Friday nothing special during the day, so less focus needed and more players can play the format. Friday $109/162 Ante up is both going to attract recs and regs, and you definitely need to create something for that day.

Friday def needs a special HS MTT. Hope this will be considered after the saturday 2-day is added. Speaking of which, when can we expect to see the 2-day and big215 in the lobby? Shortly after SCOOP i hope!

Meh no. Although I haven't played it a lot that's one of few higher buy-in tournaments that I actually enjoy playing. Keep the last interesting Ante Up. Although 27$ turbo version instead might be a good idea, but hard to say if it gets enough players to get interesting prize pool. I don't play 109+R (too high for me) but if I somehow beat the doomswitch and would get a bankroll large enough that would be one of those tournaments I'd like to add to my calendar.

Looks like there's just one way and people want to kill everything except PSKOs.

i cant believe that the 8.8$ PSKO at 14:00 CET still only got 2k GTD. Make it to at least 7.5K, better 10k!

+1, sitting at almost 15k now with late reg still open

Also the $8.80+r at 15:30 WET should have a guarantee boost on Sunday like you did with the $8 1r1a

Great job on the Sunday boost for the 265ko.

Please promote it a bit though, I barely noticed the change.

Colourise it and give it a name change:

Sunday KO
Sunday 265
265ko - Sunday Special Guarantee

Etc

thoughts on moving the kickoff one hour later? think it would be much better there the way the other mtts are fixed.

The PlatinumStar+ VIP Sunday Million Sat 2500 FPP desperately needs a structure change.

Earlier antes need to be implemented.

Also the blind levels 125/250 and 250/500 need to be added.
