Great new changes Bryan.

2 key points that have yet to be addressed though:

Why are turbos raked at 10%? If they are raked according to a skill edge (Hypers are correctly raked at 2%), players in an MTT with 5 minute blind clocks have a much lower skill edge than they do at 10/12 or 15 minute levels. It just makes no sense that turbos are raked the same as regular speed.

Also, the 10/20, 20/30, 25/50, 50/100 structure is completely pointless. They exist in quite a few satellites and is just attrocious. Change them to regular blind levels and all is good.

Apart from that, good job! As a plyer from Asia, i love the big 44, gives me another atble to play when i play the 33 and a third to open on saturday along with the 6max

Bryan, would you please consider giving all sunday majors an early ante structure? As mentioned before in this thread for rebuy tournaments it would create bigger prize pools because there's more action in the early levels. But also a tournament like the sunday 500 is just a boring nitfest the first few hours. Please make it happen!

also: could you add earlier antes for the 77$ 6max turbo, 77$ 4max turbo etc. that run at night/very early morning (european time)?

they kick in really late (sry can't check the exact times/structure as they're not visible in the lobby right now)

overall you did a very good job btw!

8r reach 17.5k prize pool today, MONDAY. Makes 0 sense not have at least 15k gtd in this.
03-30-2015 , 03:49 PM
The micro evening schedule seems very 4max heavy. Filtered to reg speed tournaments, in the next 4 hours there are four 4max tournaments and no 6max. This isn't good for the micros: I think many micro players are intimidated and don't know how to play it (at least everyone I've seen at micros plays it badly), and most would prefer 6max I think. Or at least some balance.

big 16.50 keeps hitting the 19k mark on a daily basis as the gtd stays 12.5k... hot 7.50 hitting 25.5k on a monday with a 15k gtd... i mean.. you cut down a mtt for overlaying once or twice but those who crush the guaranteed everyday and could use a gtd increase keep getting ignored.. good job man
03-30-2015 , 06:26 PM
yes it's heavily apparent that if you are going to quickly drop a guarantee for a few cases of overlay, you must be doing somewhat of the opposite and those tournaments that are crushing their guarantee need to be addressed quickly and raised to help promote further participation.

lol big 109 114k on a monday
03-30-2015 , 08:23 PM
Scoop fr tho

Now that EPT Malta is finished, how we don't have at least 2+ EPT Monaco satties a day? I don't get it. Plus the lone one most day is the 215c which is very bad recreational-wise and most people just skip it. Do not see why we don't have at least a 320 daily/ 215 2x chance(which gets HUGE field for pca, don't see why can't be the case for GF too), or maybe more FPS satties. Like on tuesday you do have just a 215c and a 82c? What the ?

p.s. I see this is should be in the satellite thread but feeling like this is more of an high stakes schedule thing

Miss the 5r 25 add on #thingspeopledontsay
03-31-2015 , 12:46 AM
Bryan, how about changing the 22 6max 'deep stacks' (that starts just before hot 44) into a bigger buy in, like 109. I think a lot of players that play on late in the schedule for the Nightlies would start to play it. Could even be a great spot for the 109 prog super KO 6max that is needed!
03-31-2015 , 12:50 AM
3k start stack for the 55r Turbo Big Antes please

Please don't change that

Why? It seems very unbalanced to have four 4max tournaments and no 6max. Two of each would be better.
03-31-2015 , 05:44 AM
just for the record big 16.50 reaching 22.3k on a tuesday morning , remember the guarantee is currently 12.5k
03-31-2015 , 06:45 AM
bryan why is the phase tounaments only ran at $11 stake? these are of huge value to pokerstars as u get to rake the balls off loads of players and we get a juiced up nice 2 day tournament should introduce $22 and $33 imo upto $55

Don't think that would be a good change. Deeper rebuy period structure = smaller prizepool.

^ make s500 8max would be nice also, can't see anyone complaining apart from wanting a center seat.

03-31-2015 , 01:44 PM
