Replacing the 5.5 6-Max by moving the 2.2 Turbo in the 13.30 PST is not a good replacement IMO. I'm sure other low stakes regs who play late feel the same.

I would really alternate a lot with your tournaments. As mentioned alot make the 109PKO t, mini Thrill on Thursday. With 5k start + shorter levels.

Or maybe make 320 6-max. Red on Wednesday. Middle of the week. Call it 320 6-max Wednesday Special or something. nice 50k gtd instead of 20. Give it 5k start. So it feels like a special on Wednesday, without adding a new tourney to schedule.

You can do same with like 109r on Friday. I mean even iPoker had a bigger 109r(75 €r).

Maybe an idea that not everybody is going to like. Merge 55r and 33r into one. 44r in the middle, make some promotion for it and i can't image it not sustaining 20k and 50k on sundays. I would play and i never play 55r and 33r

109 4x, absolutly butchered this tournament. I know you won't change it back. But is was amazing as it was. Don't mind the new blindstructure. But hate to be pressured into an add-on now. have only played it once since. I would rather see B215 instead of 109 4x now. 23 tot 1 CET is so filled with turbo;s a decent tourney like B215 wbn there i quess. Makes me wanna grind the night schedule. And it gets cancelled everyday now anyway(109 4x)

You also have two 215t and neither is called a hot, this would boost attendance tremendously ofc. Don't care which one. Maybe 00:30 CET 215t -->H162. would be a better BI i think.

Just some ideas, gl.

Why is the rake so high in the PKO's on stars? They reduced the rake to half of that in EPT.

+1

Perhaps some grinders should take a few months off and take some basic business courses? Oh no wait, they already know everything, why bother?

So they don't make money from rake?

why do guarentees get lowered? How many times a tourney needs to get an overlay so that amaya decreases it? Say a 5k guarantee one day has a 200$ overlay and that's it? MAKE IT 4K! or does this need to happen over 5 consecutive days? Because I've been paying attention to all the games I play and I've never seen an overlay in a vanilla/ko/sko/psko mtt.

I'm also pretty sad seeing that one go. I do know for a fact it has declined throughout the years though, without me trying to figure out the exact reason I believe it would have been a perfect candidate to have turned into a PsKO (even more so upping its BI to 8,8)

These $2 rebuys are becoming silly now. They used to be like 12k and 10k a bit over a year ago! Now they're 4k even though they both consistently beat 5k! However, the longer you keep them at 4k, the prize pools will drop to where you set the line. People play them because of a nice GTD, if they lose that, they won't play them. Also, how on earth is B11 50k now?! Big 55 60k? It made almost 80 with that GTD on a Wednesday.

And what is with dropping a GTD as soon as it drops by $200 (and you drop it by 1k-2k) but when it's smashing it by 1k it takes you forever to boost it?

With the removal of the more "bowly" mtt's on the site (which I agree with) we are seeing an ever declining number of games which don't have big fields (especially at lower buy ins).

I really don't know if the demand is there, but is there any merit to offering "On demand" type games in the small/micro stakes level?

I'm thinking reg speed here. Like, if it requires 18/27 players before starting and then offering late reg period.

I know the 4.50's aren't popular, but in this format I think more games would go off.

I find the lack of response and communication to the players very very disturbing. Come on, isn't stars the biggest poker operator in the world? How do they even have only one guy who handles this mtt bs? Does luke even get paid? If so, at least one post per day seems appropriate. Come on, it's your job. Stars is the freaking biggest operator. They should have a team who handles only the mtt department. You are really ruining this whole mtt schedule. I'm just not sure whether it is their intention or not. Ssly, if Luke is the only guy, he should post here way more often, or stars should put more people on this department. To me, it comes off as very disrespecting towards all the players who made your site, the site it is today...

He might be THE guy, but 2+2 is small (im guessing) compared to the entire rake paying mtt player pool. They probably don't care too much and are just using us as a resource.

Which is fine imo cos some good stuff has come because of it.

But they lose money from withdraws. I assume you aren't a breakeven or losing player.

But as the original person said, debating this with people on the internet doesn't work.

Reduction of GTDs kill the games more. It only takes couple of overlays for you to decrease a tourney's gtd but when a tourney 3x-4x its gtd on a regular basis you don't increase its gtd right away just as you do with overlays, this is so unfair.

Think twice before reducing gtd of a tourney filled with REGS, if they go overlay let them go, instead come up with idea how to bring those players back or why are they not doing well. Come up with a promotion or something/give incentives like added xxx tourney tickets/double vpp or any kind of incentive which obviously shouldn't hurt other tourneys. Its better to lose some of your $$ in incentives than to lose $$ from those potential rakes.

Even have tourney announcements for tourneys which are about to go overlay.
