Because a lot of people who would play a high stakes 2 day event are in vegas during the summer?

Soepgroente also makes a good point but this is absolutely right. Spot on imo.

Yeah dont get the decision either about the 700 two dayer? I know people are gone but its not everyone. It will def still be success.

1. Mini Thrill Mini super tuesday
2. 700 two dayer?
3. Mini Supersonic? Hey man its late in the day we are all down the farm need another miracle lol
4. Fix rebuys? early antes?
5. big 82 big 215? dont see how putting the big 215 daily into the schedule would do any harm?

We were told by BryanPS that both the saturday 2day hs tournament and new bigs would be added after scoop... Really disappointing if it doesnt happen.

Also Mini thrill on wednesdays asap please.

Actually the daily "Storm" series over at ps.fr just as successful as any Big/Hot etc tourney producing the same nr. of entrants regardless the fact rebuys and addons also raked there though.

Thats why they should have done it way earlier. Anyway they don't have to slap a big gtd on it, so still dont get it

wait, u re not leaving to vegas? ffs man...

Really disappointing if we have to wait until august/september for the introduction of the big215 and Saturday 2-day. They were actually considered to be added in late April, but then the decition was made to wait until SCOOP was over. Now the argument is to wait because of the slow traffic during the summer months. And we get to August, with WCOOP getting closer, then this mindset will lead to even more postponement. Just add them already!

On top of this, I think you should consider giving the low stakes players some extra prestige on a Sunday.

Like an $11 Kickoff, a $27 Warm Up and other low Sundayaments.

I have quoted your comment in PokerStars Promotions Suggestions thread since the people in charge of tournaments here have nothing to do with Promotions. Pls use this thread for PokerStars Promotions related thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...hread-1534866/

Def agree with increasing the gtds of daily $27 and weekly $82 , I thought this was a no brainer, @Luke and other people in charge, pls increase their gtd if its not too late and have all stud/draw tourneys 'happy hour' , $5.50 non turbo SD used to get 20-25 entrants but it got 44 entrants because of that happy hour tag.

GG Bryan, and good luck Luke. Remember playing against you, good to see a former highstakes MTT reg taking such an important spot at PS Headquarters.

Shame rebuys are slowly disappearing with their guaranteeds being lowered and lowered. To me it seems like rebuys are less interesting for Stars, as their %rake is lower than a regular tournament. The 11r at 14:00 CET for example used to have like 20k guaranteed (?), with it being $8k guaranteed at the moment. I think the suggestion has been done before, but turning this tournament into a 'daily rebuy' tournament with perhaps a 30 minute longer late registration would give it a huge boost. I, and with me many others, love playing deepstacked MTT poker (shame SCOOP is done). That is why I personally love rebuy tournaments. Having atleast one nice rebuy tournament a day would really be awesome.

I love it how some dieing tournaments are turned into a PSKO to give them a boost. For example the $77t 6-max this morning at 08:00 CET suddenly had 170 runners. Before this change it had like 100-120 runners top. In my opinion the guaranteed could be higher now ($6k guaranteed with a total prize pool of $12750 this morning). Make it something like 10k and it will attract even more runners I'm sure.

One more thing that just came to my mind: would it be an idea to turn either the 17:00 CET $82 hyper or the 18:00 CET $82 hyper into a PSKO? Just to have a different aspect to the whole 6m hyper game. What is everyone's opinion about this?

I think it would be great for people to be able to list the MTT lobby "FTP style" with little icons representing if the MTT is regular speed/turbo/hyper/KO/PSKO etc or at the very least be able to use abbreviations for the standard (non alternate tournament list layout) so that games such as the

$27 NL Hold'em [4-Max, Progressive Super Knockout]

would be listed as

$27 NLH [4M, PSKO]

Also every rebuy should have its late registration and rebuy period ending/add-on period starting synchronized, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has accidentally skipped a game (primarily the smaller stakes 3x turbos) because they were planning to register at the end of the rebuy period only to find out late registration closed just under 5 minutes earlier due to the break affecting the late registration period but not the rebuy period.

There are more red rebuys than red pskos.

big fan of those Sunday Edition games last week

Can you guys try changing the color to dark green or red and see if that makes a difference compared to black font?

Too bad for you! But I don't plan on grinding a lot besides sundays

Asian Online Poker Series only for Asians:

https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/promotions/aops/

IMO they should be running these type of series for each regionals during same period.

Pretty loose term for who can enter. What is the definition of "Asia"?

i call!

gl at the tables bro

They run ANZOPS only for Australia-NewZealand Players, so I don't think AOPS includes players from Aussie, Nz

****, I've been trying to use this ticket for forever now.

WCOOP Asia 1 more time pls.

Also from what little information I can find online about WCOOP Asia 2011 it was over by the time they issued me the ticket. Thx for the troll job.

loool. have you tried to get it converted to a b109 ticket or someth with support seaking? im sure they will let you after 4 years

Hi all,

Saturday SKO satellites have had their guarantees adjusted (Saturday only).

I took care of this and redeployed all tournaments already in the lobby. Thanks!



This has been added to a list of development items. We’ll look for an opportunity to get it into a future build. In the meantime, I suggest you stop being un-ready.

This is the same issue we run into with red tournaments and broadcast messages. The more you have, the less potent they become. Mid-stakes are well-represented in the list of “Sunday Edition” tournaments so I’m hesitant to add more at the moment.

I feel pretty strongly about the fact that the schedule is too large at the moment. It is important to remember that adding a Big $215 or Saturday $700 isn’t just adding one tournament—you have to add satellites as well. Five years ago every addition to the schedule probably provided incremental value. I do not believe that to be the case now. Additions need to be made thoughtfully with the understanding that existing tournaments are likely to suffer with every schedule enhancement.

Well, surely I should wait to consider this until our table allocation issue is solved! I’m not convinced it is possible to have the structure stay ‘somewhat the same’ while still providing a reasonable stack at the end of a longer late registration period.

I agree this is a weakness of ours. We’ve made operational improvements in the past few months to improve the efficiency of this process. We’ll get it right more often and (hopefully) spend less time working on it. I want to focus on tweaking the schedule. With that said, summer is coming and guarantees will have to be adjusted.

I am aware of and grasp all the arguments regarding guarantees made in this thread.

Preach!

I will take a look at the $530 Omahas in the next few weeks. I will take this as an opportunity to mention that non-Holdem/Omaha tournaments are a weakness of mine. Feel free to send me specific suggestions. I will need help and I hope you’ll continue to provide your assistance!

I’ll look into this before I deploy the June VIP tournaments. I’ll check average run time and look at the current structure. Minor note: all of the VIP tournaments have been fully localised. This will take effect beginning with the June tournaments.

I appreciate the continuity here, but I’m not looking to add umbrella tournaments. I’ll happily work with you all to tweak rebuys; however, it is a process and will take some time. I said above that I do not believe rebuys are popular. I’m not willing to spend money or add a new umbrella brand in order to force a format on our players.

I very much like the way it looks now! It stands out just enough to look special but also isn’t intrusive.

The reason isn't because of slow summer traffic. It is because the schedule is too large. Removing tournaments is my top priority at the moment.



I’ll be looking at the schedule holistically. I feel that 10:00-18:00 needs the least amount of attention, but everything else needs a closer look. What do you all think?

Haha nope not yet, I actually kind of like it now, not sure I could consider parting ways with it for anything under a $1050 WCOOP ticket. ;D

Will say it again.

18:15 ET need a good low/mid stakes mtt.
5r is a crap, 4q is crap and 5$ 6max too. The guys who play up to 33$ have NOTHING worth to play for 1 hour ( we have h44, but is a turbo)
And, the 11c @ 19:15 ET needs the new structure
