capping any of these sats above aswell as the x3 ones tomorrow is foolish

there's no way they purposefully capped those sats.

well, purposefully or not [prob not] but whoever set them sorry but seems like a lazy work.
i played a 3xT today with 1,168 entrants and 48 tickets paid.
tomorrow's late 3xTs have 50 seats gtd and a cap at 1,500 entrants.
these numbers are just off

no deep turbos either (the usual $7.5 re-entries or sth similar to replace them)

nah, i don't think anyone is surprised by this anymore, but its just ridic to saw its bad for all. Its bad for "Pros" and "Pros" only, most recs dont give a **** what they can win, so they play anyway, and Stars can make more rake due to this changes. Its even a possibility that its a good change in the long run. More recs can play for a longer time, so their experience is getting better and they reload more often and play more often. So in the End its a possibility that "Pros" even benefit from those changes. Fact is nobody knows if its a good or bad change, but to assume its just bad for all players is a joke.


Party got ****ed up, due to several reason not only because they change payouts. Thats would be the last reason why Party went down.
First: Player separation in CG, then 3% withdraw fee and so on. To assume a poker site went down for one reason is hilarious.

LMAO, we need an O/U on when the SWU guarantee drops below $400K.

This is so pathetic, the bounty builder prize pools consistently get 2x the GTD and Stars still refuses to raise the GTDs.

The Bigger 33/44s now have the same GTD as the vanilla Big 33/44.

I was looking up at some screen caps for deep runs I had back in 2013 and The Big 33 on a weekday had a $38K prizepool, nowadays it struggles to hit $25K.

I honestly dont know what to blame - the really nitty guarantees, players moving to other sites or the general decline of online poker? It's probably a lil bit of everything.

People saying recs don't care are slightly ******ed. I'm a rec player and my volume is way down on Stars. If 888 would wake up and fix their software I'd move all my volume there. The schedule at Stars is terrible and getting worse. They think rec players want more micros? WTF. Also, just because I'm not a SNE doesn't mean I don't care that Stars stole money from the SNEs. I've lost respect for Stars and am no longer a loyal fan boy like I've been in the past. I don't care what happens to Stars any more. **** em.

AMEN

The main problem is Pokerstars has given up on MTT's. I listened to the last podcast of EPT not live and Lee Jones was guest. He said that Pokerstars New Jersey was launching and the MTT's were most likely going to have overlays because of building player base.

Geeezz, that's what the MTT community has been saying for the past few years. The policy of lowering first prize and lowering guarentees right after overlays is cancer to MTT's. Recs will stop registering and put their money into sports betting and spin and go's.

Hi,

I have not playing at PS for a long time and I have some doubt about satellites nowadays.

I remember that it used to be possible to unregister from target tournament when you had won satellite (and receive T$). Also you could win plenty satellites and if you had been already regiestered, you received T$ for second and next ones. Meanwhile I won one to Sunday Million and I cannot unregister. No problem with that, but can I still play other satellites? Will I receive $ or T$ if I won next satellites?

It's likely you have won a 'must-play-ticket' in this case. Any further seats you win will be converted to T$. Most often you usually can unregister also the first entry won but for some promotions it's not possible (especially when the tickets are added to pokerstars)

Where did the Hot €20 and Big €30 on ps.fr go? I'll miss them. They were still alive yesterday. R.I.P.

hot20 is sunday zoom and big30 is triomphe on sunday.

They will pbb be back tomorrow

I have a feeling that huge sm satty from 12:22ET will end after late reg closes. well done

Was that sat really supposed to be a reg speed?

5hr and 30 minutes in 12 bb average stack stall fest satelite into the tournament that ended alte reg a half hour ago

its every "special" tournament/series for 3 years where they cant just do the simple math on the end time for these satelites

i say if stars ****s up a satelite end time it should be their policy to award every remaining player a seat 1 minute before late reg ends

Sacked in the morning, you're getting sacked in the morning!

It was even created with a cap on the number of entrants and it hit the cap. Just complete incompetence as usual from AmayaStars

Player cap doesn't even change how long the runtime of the tournament takes. Stars just ****ed that tournament up multiple times. 2500 cap into 10000 cap into not even finishing.

The thing that sucks is there's probably 300 recs who never got to play the million and are really disappointed. It's **** for stars, **** for us regs, **** for the recs trying to have a good time.

yeah looks like some button-clicking went on with the satellites scheduling.

the original cap was too low, looking both at the gtd set and the demand (this sat got over 5K entrants from the start).

turns out the 10K cap was too big for the scheduled time of the sat, but obv math is such a drag

just a bit of a shame for the 450 or so players that didn't make it to SM

12bb ave stack...... there is no cap issue for satelite end times

they will finish within the same few blind levels with an extremely high confidence, if they have ever run that blind structure before #data or can use a calculator they can predict quite accurately when it will end

they are just delinquent constantly w them because they dont mind pissing people off as long as they rake enough

and, unrelated to satelites, id really like the option to change my SN, the advantages of being an MA shouldnt be limited to those willing to do it

have a look at today's payouts for the hotter 82 and hot 44.

its beyond ridiculous how bad the payout structure and itm % is. Say gg to my weekday volume stars.

No point fixing the schedule if ya ain't gonna have the players Luke.....

+1

sunday 500 late reg closed early today btw, looks like it capped at 1000 players

the late 82 hyper closed early too (21:30 EST)
