+1000 change sth about it stars, do it now plz!

Why did you change the $265 structure when you turned it into a PSKO?

great post!

btw, was posting in the wcoop thread, and just thought of this. I really enjoy the warmup-million during the series, wouldn't it be possible/fun to have one/month with that structure?

letsgo to to the important thing, lower the rake of the higher turbos? i wont be loading any turbo higher to 55+ until this happens, its stupid how high it is right now

If you're going to make a point and try to get taken seriously, I'd stop with language such as this. Your point is correct, but we're not "demanding" anything, it's not "just a joke". Please respect the person on the other side even if you think there are flaws in the way things are being handled. Plus, if I was in Luke's shoes I'd be tempted to ignore posts like these.

Luke, in case you didn't follow the wcoop thread, click here. But I'm guessing, like Bryan, you're not here for rake discussion or even forwarding us to someone we can talk to.

tbh, i think the best way to develop the schedule is to start with making tue/thur mini sundays and going from there.

while i like the idea of a daily special tournament for every day of the week, i just don't see people coming back in droves on mon, wed, and fri just for that additional tournanament. they will still weigh the overall schedule as weak and skip those days most of the time and stars won't see some real impact which will keep them making changes. in the pre black friday days, you could keep my attention online 6 days a week, but in the current environment i just don't see this as possible. me and many others have gotten into a schedule....one where we play tue, thur, sun...occasionally sat/wed if bored and almost always take off monday and friday's. we need that work/life balance and i don't think there is anything wrong with their being slower days that are softer due to regs taking the day off.

i think if they start with making tue/thur mini sundays, they will see immediate impact, a ton of additional rake, and get an idea for the true appetite for hs tournies that are out there.

only after this is done do i think that we could then successfully add a daily special tournament to the other days. imo the key to all of this revolves around realizing that on tue, thur, and sun you have the high stakes players attention and building out robust offerings to satisfy those appetites..

thanks for making the change to the 265 ko. now we really need the big 215, and some more bigs/hots, super tue 2nd chance, mini thrill, and some special tue/thur birds and now we are getting somewhere.

i'm done playing 215 turbos, i will only play the late one, 2x chance. The rake is ridic big

This red weekly $215 turbo 70k gtd on saturdays should def run on tuesdays/thurdays/sundays aswell. Maybe change name to "The daysaver" or something. Aslong as it is red with a big guarantee, people will play!

100% of the players in the 1ks and many others would like to play this in the evening if you just put it up there.

we need more than just one sunday a week. everything jdpc said.

stars just implemented a 2nd sunday into the new 8 day week. its right inbetween wednesday and thursday, and its called sunday2.

was funny until u named it

A lot of people think that recs/fish can play every day of the week like the grinders and people who do this for a living - they can't. Sundays are always going to be the day and the occasional off day that they have as well. They are not going to come out 5-6 days a week no matter what red MTT is there.

400$ PKO variable imo for 200r as new sunday major.
There is def room for more since FTP closed. 55r with decent gtd. Like mentioned; only starting on the good days is fine. See if you want to expand later. It'll also show that rebuys can do good and that you're not killing them.

something like an 300-500$ turbo or 6max or both. with 10k startingstack would also do good for sure.

For the non-sundays enough stuff has been mentioned. I would def put the Weekender after the SKO or remove is as a 2day. completely unnecessary imo this timeslot/so little entries.

And 2 things for the development department
(1) make the bounties in PKO's visible in the replayer with hole cards open and in the regular replayer.
(2) maybe if a tournaments doesn't have enough entries to start, put in on hold for max 15 min. Make it different colour in the lobby. So people can see it and still reg it. Then for example the late 109r doesn't have to be cancelled that often.

Can we please get the 320 6max on saturdays also? Don't see much reason to remove it. I've asked about this before and don't think I got a response back then.

Requesting 500 turbos seems crazy to me

+1

All these hstake request additions are crazy.There isnt a demand for these games on a daily basis apart from a small bunch of players posting in this thread.

Yea, they are asking for so many changes and it never ever works like that. Half the requests will never happen due to lack of playerbase, the other half are requests that aren't good for pokerstars. Some people think it's 2010 still.

But, what might actually happen is another weekly major. The Thrill worked out really well for Stars and players. What if there was something like that on Monday or Wednesday?

Everyone who wants more specials at the highest buyins should be working towards something that might actually happen. If we all spent as much time debating how to make a Wednesday major - something different and unique - then we might actually come up with something that works and we'll actually get!

Yeah everybody got excited again after WCOOP. Most HS addition will be replacements anyway. But there def is demand. I mean every HSMTT'er regs for a least 2k up till 4/5k on other sites on sunday. They will def bring the action to stars if they came up with some awesome new tournies. I've seen a PS rep say here they're looking for a new sunday major. So just spouting some ideas.

I would love for it to be 6max. But the 320 6max gets removed in weekend for obv reasons(Sunday 6max and Weekly 6max) + we have sonic already. So something a bit bigger potentially turbo seemed nice. But it's tough. I would love to hear more ideas for a new major. imo shout shout let it all out and we'll see what Luke fancies. wbn if he gave us an indication of what's doable on what day and then we can indeed work towards something.

What would your idea be for Wednesday if i may ask? I don't even mind just playing tuesday/thursday/sunday+another day of my choice. I've heard there are lovely things to do outside too.

I can write more in depth after I'm done with my session but I think Mon/Wed should be low/midstakes centered around promotions that strengthen the ST/Thrill brands. Something like a $11 micro thrill and $109 mini thrill that gives away a few thrill seats.

33r action hour 100k gtd with sats paying 153$ packages <3

Seriously, I don't think we need more turbos, there are more than enough in the schedule already. I'd like to see some decent rebuy or a rebuy week promo as I remember there was a KO week promo not long ago. Or s.th. like .fr Monday Night on Stars with 10c, 30c & 100c in one of the quiet days.

Also would be great to replace the withered 44 turbo (after b109) with 16.50c (same structure as 109c turbo)

Well said Doggz

320 ultra deep?
