yes u can use the big tny tickets for the doubles

yes u should convert all fpps to tny tickets b4 year end as they will lose value starting in 2016 (unless ur supernova+ in which case u can convert directly to $)

Luke, why did you implement the daily doubles in such a bad time for euros? The $1 is barely playable and the $11 and $55 is out of question if you work or studying.

Because us Euros are not important obv.

lol @ you guys

lol at yourself ffs

did not even reg them.

Would you rather they ran in your evenings or entirely while you were at work?

lol at you.

i think you should add $5 turbo daily double before the $1s and maybe a daily double $27 hyp after the $55s

This.

What about when a big portion of people finish work like 16:00-17:00 CET?

late 109r on wednesday could have a 20k gtd, would easily reach

Need an answer about the increase in rake going from hot 75 to hot 82.
It is absolutely absurd that a bigger buy in would get a higher rake %.
You have no problems making the big 27: 24.55 + 2.45.
No one cares if you have to add decimals just make the rake right.

This is WAY more important than the stupid bickering about the having every game in the perfect time zone for where you are. How about using your posts to actually help poker instead of crying like babies about your selfish desires.

Please address this issue PokerStars staff.

Thank you.

truth. think ill have to drop that mtt due to the rake

Those asking for lower rake:

Stars reply will be: "Lolololololololol gfy"

Source: Years of asking them to consider looking into lowering turbo mtt rake. (They have not once considered it.)

New hots look great, except the rake increase, should definitely fix that! So far this customer/business relationship between us players and you Luke seems really unorthodox.

Nowadays flight companies, restaurants, etc businesses snap answer questions to their customers and do most if not all what they can do, to get them satisfied. We understand that you can't just throw money around and add 100k gtd to 109t that has 10k usually and therefore we ask to introduce tournaments with low gtd at beginning and see how it goes (like "start mini thrill with even 10k gtd" or similar spots where it's no brainer that gtd will be exceeded by miles).

You are supposed to be best in business and it means showing up, talking to clients and respecting their ideas. Obviously no need to answer trolls or someone who curses at you, but a lot of great posters and respected players are spending their free time to give you great feedback and worthy ideas and it should be appreciated way more than just flicking in some info statement.


I HAVE REPOSTED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES - NO ANSWER, NO CONSIDERATION AT ALL.

One more time pointing out issues that had been posted by multiple and haven't reached any conclusion :

1. Rake reduction in turbos (even small effort here, would be huge improvement for every player, both fun and serious).

2. Building around Super Tuesday / Thrill - adding mini thrill and couple more specials in each of the days would make not only HS players show up for a longer grind, but also will make smaller stakes players choose to grind some special events or satelites to them for that matter.

3. Improving structure in Bigs - several great suggestions about both bigger starting structures that comes with starting at later blind level and level time increase (8,12,15) like you do in some regular tournaments.

So much good stuff from a lot of respected posters, I am pretty shocked, that this doesn't get any improvements right away. It doesn't cost you anything to add Thrill 2nd chance with 10k gtd and see how it smashes and gets 50k prizpepool, which allows to adjust gtd next week.

Same with "other HS" tournaments in particular days. Add $215 mid Tuesday, with 20k gtd or even 15k gtd if you are really conservative. It will smash and you will be able to adjust gtd following weeks. No problem with being conservative at the beginning, but as multiple have suggested, it will smash even bigger gtds, so start out small to see yourself how much people will join the ride.

Luke and Stars have their own vision. And data. I admire your heart but this is futile.

I agree with your entire post except this point, don't you feel like these things last forever already? I know the big 11/22 on sunday last about 12-13 hours under the current structure, or 9-10 hours under the weekdays structure. Maybe there's room for change, but you really can't push these tournies to go even longer. Even the smaller field $109 lasts 11 hours on a sunday, or 8 hours on a weekday. I've made the mistake of regging the big 11 on sunday too often only to be one-tabling it for 3 hours at the end and winning 56$ or something.

And if you suggest accelerating the start, that doesn't really work because at the end of late registration in the current structure you're already buying a 12bb stack on weekdays.

I think people are talking about daily bigs, where the average stack is <30 like an hour before and after the bubble.

Well, you want the tournament to last 12 hours like on sunday? There's just not too much you can do if the tournament has to finish in a reasonable time and gets a field of several thousand...

Maybe adding a couple of levels between bb700-bb1400 would fix the problem, I don't know, it is kind of annoying when the stacks are so swallow at that stage, but you certainly have a valid point.

Wasn't Luke an MTT grinder just last year?

The reality is if he wants to keep his job then he has to go along with the program. If not him then it would be someone else so I don't blame Luke in the least.

In fairness to the staff that handle MTT's they've done an outstanding job of not raising effective rake like nearly every other aspect of Stars' offerings.

Sure around the edges rake has increased but nothing compared to what VIP cuts have done to other games.

Yes, I'm definitely not blaming Luke, I like him as a person, I hate him as the company rep.
