hey guys, lets this thread started, its clearly all microlow stuff is lost in this thread full of high stakes discussion, so post any ideas you have on microlow stakes in this thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...hread-1564618/

You dun fkd up the pop up with the then/than thing. Or is that a silent nod to 2+2's fav grammatical error.

it's acceptable in indian grammar

It was just a test for now; however, it is possible it sneaks into the main schedule in short order. The issue is creating a fair pay table. The tests deployed were created with a pay table written on paper!

No, this past Monday was my mistake. I did not update the scripts from last Monday. They'll be back to normal this coming Monday, with some increases as well.

We actually did have freeroll satellites to it.

The Sunday Million has 250/500 and 500/1000. That structure will likely replace the current turbo deep structure once there is a sample and I can determine average run times. I'll be adding it to the Warm-Up beginning Monday.

Done beginning Monday.

Done beginning Monday.

Done beginning Monday.

Every tournament would perform better if it was planted in the middle of peak time, that's for sure. As far as the Sunday 500 being the biggest buy-in major on Sunday, it makes sense because of all the other noise on a Sunday. The Super Tuesday/Thursday Thrill have all of the attention on their respective days.

"I was not clear when describing Common Cents as a "semi-replacement". What I meant is that it is a replacement in the sense that it is taking time on the promotional calendar in October, and MicroMillions is not. MicroMillions will almost certainly be back, and Common Cents could happen again as well."

Also, November and December is always full of promotions. There will be plenty of tournaments to play...

...but Bigs/Hots are not on the docket this year.

This is actually a great idea; however, there would be some irony in the fact that the only time we heavily market the Steps system is when it is going away. No plans have been made for the Steps as of yet.

I'll pass this feedback along.

I think this is very results-oriented thinking. The satellites are not all that different from other majors and many communications were sent out to alert players of the addition. Hell, it ran all through WCOOP. Players know it exists.

Again, this was a spur of the moment decision. We'll still be awarding several thousand dollars in Knockout Week tickets. Had they been a part of the promotional communications (or money was added to the prize pool), I'd have been much more aggressive with the number of tickets being awarded. Early signs have shown that they're very successful at driving traffic. We'll continue to use hybrid satellites in the future.

Lastly, I am aware of the issue with the fact that they need to be deployed as satellites; however, prize pools in these tournaments have increased considerably this week. This shows that players can find them. Because of this, I will not ask for a fix to be prioritized. I'll try to communicate the affected tournaments the next time we create hybrids. Besides, it isn't like it is a bad thing to have players go look at satellites.

Very true. Many of the high stakes players seem to ignore the fact that casual players (or enthusiasts) are extremely important to build prize pools and guarantees in these tournaments.

This is extremely subjective. The Saturday SKO is an immensely popular tournament among casual players. This is evidenced by the popularity of its satellites and week-to-week participation.

This is also subjective thinking. The Saturday SKO has much, much higher participation in both satellites and the event itself.

As a result of your feedback, we're considering moving the Saturday SKO to 14:00 and The Weekender to 11:30. This would put the Saturday SKO one hour away from the Big $109 and into the current "major" slot on Saturdays.

Thanks for the responses Luke!

Do you have any opinion on making the Super Tuesday / Thursday Thrill a 2-day event (most importantly the ST)? For a trial period at least?

mini 1ks!!

Luke, is there any chance for us to see big 215 in the lobby this year? Bryan told us we could expect to see it after SCOOP. Can you please tell us why it is taking so long time?

You should also turn one of the 215 turbos into Hot 215.

ppl still want carnival though ;-)

The 11r action hour 21.00 CET is really worthless now so I think it would be better to remove it and move the 11r 22.00 one hour earlier, at the moment it is starting to late for most recs to play it, especially when it has so low GTD

Bring back $265 KO, put the $215 PSKO elsewhere

sounds good.

agree with all of the above. jdpc is somewhat irealistic in his demands, i think, but stars is also being really rigid at the same time with the schedule. i think somewhere in between would hit the spot. saturdays / tuesdays / thursday can def support more action.

saturdays would have a way better flow with the weekender starting later with a bigger latereg and the SKO also pushed back an hour. also consider improving weekender`s structure and make it really deep, thats the whole point of it being a 2-dayer.

can you also respond to why stars can`t add anymore reds, and why a daily red special ( thinking old 50r timeslot ) wouldn`t work? i feel like there is room for it, not sure if there is room for the satties, but you should be able to make it happen.

+1

+1

Put the psko somewhere after the b162

+1 if it's possible

Yes, please! I'd really like to see this happen right away starting this saturday

this!!! I d put them 1h-2h after the main events as a 2nd chance. 109$/$215

after big162 one time ? There really is NOTHING to look for after b162 at the moment, no decent regspeed red FO :-/ Put the 215$PSKO here bring back 265$KO??????

They could add a $215 PSKO after the Big 162 and not even change the one in the morning. That far apart on the schedule has a small rec player pool overlap.

yup. +1. or make old 265ko the big215, make psko later. really disappointing we get a 215 psko before the b215 we've rallied for and been promised for a long time

also please dont remove the 320 sko on saturday as someone suggested :/. new time seems great

also ko week is cool and all. but youve had better post wcoop promotions. bring back the carnival. bring back wcoop challenge

Agreed with everything.

Also your excuse for having only nlhe events for ko week was a bit weak.

change 215 psko to big 215 sounds good to me, not really that excited to have a psko so early in most peoples sessions since it limits reasonable latereg

yeah i originally had hoped the weekender would be a huge super long two day tournament where gtd approached 500k...

by far the worst tournament's schedule decision you've made in a long time

i dont even really play the MM series, but its so good for the site and players as a whole. why would you be uncertain about the future? what dont we get? generally curious here

MM was my favorite series as a lowstakes recreational mixgame player, only time when the odd games runs in MTTs. Why o why ?

Going to make a guess that the MM series is all about engaging players and getting them to make deposits. I would guess they realized they didn't need to run it every 3 months. I'm sure they have ways to track player deposits and effectiveness of tournaments and promotions.

Common Cents is on a similar vein, except for even smaller levels. It's obvious that Common Cents is not popular for the people who use 2p2 and post here, but the field sizes have been massive. How many of those players are converted play money accounts or players who've been watching on twitch but didn't want to step into the water for much money? To catch a fish you first need to hook them. Pokerstars isn't running promotional series without reason.
