something like 33/55 and 320/530. these will be huge if they're red and will encourage players to try the regular schedule deepstacks.

agreed, vamo saturday deepstack

love the Saturday 2-day deepstack idea! Selfishly I'd suggest $27, but I'm sure a $55 would be mad popular too.

I think low buyin has to be high enough to make worth the time spent in it, so I'd suggest $55/$700 if we do two buyins

Buy-In hasn't to be 55$ if the GTD is big enough.

Low buy-in has to be appealing enough for those playing the high one so I would go with 55/530 for a Saturday 2-day deepstack.

Love the new structures, just this small of a change will make me stay up to play the $55 10k GTD on stars in the future for example. I mean I'm no expert, but I'm sure a lot of other regulars will do the same, so my advice is to keep making good changes like this and you will make more money too

Would a Phase Tourney whereby 2nd day is on Saturday not be just as effective/get more runners?

I know Bryan has mentioned a reluctance to add too much extra on a Sunday. Granted, if it was high stakes it might not make much difference as perhaps not many players will actually play. But at the same time, it seems like not asking somebody to commit their whole weekend to poker might be more friendly to the recs. Which I guess is pretty influential in how valuable a $55 tourney may be.

Also, interested to hear if the mtt's with new structures have been lasting particularly longer? I know it's early days.... but are we talking hours or something less drastic?

Would much prefer a 55/109/700 phase mtt with day 1's running mon-fri and day 2 on Saturday.

Yeah, that could work well. Recreationals have time to play in the evening on weekdays and if they manage to get to phase 2 they will plan ahead and keep their schedule free on saturday.

Exactly right. I love how the $11 phase mtt means you're practically ITM if you make day 2. If there was a way to keep that it would be great!

would really love some deeper structures with higher Buyins, if it isn't a 55$ (or higher) deepstack in the early evening, then at least put another 33$ deepstack with 2-3k Gtd around 17 cet.
Especially a deep low-midstakes major, comparable to the 30€ triomphe on stars.fr would be amazing, time window also seems to be perfect.

and please don't add too many progressive KOs.

We'll be working in the relatively near future on VLT structures for other game types, improving play across the board. This is a big focus for us in 2015. Thank you for the feedback and input provided here to help us help you all have more fun, a better playing experience, etc... we really appreciate it!

Structure hasn't been changed yet in the bolded ones. There could be more but that's all I noticed.

This! 33$ or 55$ buy in range would be perfect. (Phase tourney)

+ Definatly like the idea of a 2 days event on the weekend as well, maybe just run it once or twice a month would most likely attract big enough fields... Imagine how excited the rec's would be to have to play the day 2 the day after with a decent stack!!!

All KO MTTS should be made Progressive KO.
a return of 60-100$ 45men
3k *to 5k chips in more majors and turbos. 5k chips turbos are so much more fun

It baffles me how there isn't a decent deepstack red tourney on stars. Can we get one please?

Yet another USA site that has used/stolen the progressive guarantee idea proposed in this thread. Winning Poker Network created an entirely new 215 25k. It crushed it's guarantee both times and next sunday it will already be a 215 40k.

When will stars implement this idea? I can't think of a downside, and it's a win-win for both stars and its players.
