@Luke...

Could you please add a few more $5.50 buy-in range tourneys to the schedule.

Reason...it's quite a jump when moving from the high end $3.30-$4.40 'Micro' tourneys to the low end 'Low' tourneys because the majority of the 'Low' tourneys are $7.50/$11.00. Having a few more $5.50 games would help bridge that gap when moving up in stakes.

I see you've added some new $4.40 PKO games to the schedule so, thought perhaps you might consider doing the same for a $5.50 buy-in?

I'd also quite like to see a couple of the old 1R/1A (Re-buy/Add-on) tourneys brought back. I remember these to be quite popular in the past and I know I played a particular one on a daily basis when online at that time.

Thanks.

By not increasing the guarantees during wcoop, theres not much room left to wonder.. the ship has sunk.

Reality (CET):
  • 00:45 $1.10 PSKO $1k Gtd
  • 05:50 $4.40 PSKO $1.5k Gtd

It must be a troll.
Guys are begging here for the new good non-gimmick low-stakes stuff and Stars just tossed it in the trash.

Rather than removing your filters, trying to find a single one exciting addition, I encourage you to type "**** Off!" in the search box and close the client.

I agree with you. I asked him before about some MTTs at 23:30 CET and earlier and he added this 5:50 CET... And he said that the deep stacks PKO is a good idea. But where is that deep stacks MTT?..

Well this is pretty cool. If the site known for being the most unkind to cheaters lets this slip, it surely would never happen at another site. So it's super clear to just change sites.

regarding new micro tournaments

"hey can we get 5$ Deep stack?"
- " oh, 5$ hyper deep PSKO sounds like a good idea, I'll add it"

According to who?
Serious question. I mean have you seen the security measures and refund policies of Pstars or any other site for that matter? Probably not so it's entirely speculation. The only shred of evidence is players reporting refunds. I have received under $5 dollars from Pstars in my entire life and played 5-7 million hands. On a different site I received a 50 euro refund and have played under 250 Sng's.

Well, ipoker has obv bots for a long time, after they got reported they were still playing, no refunds.
Party had alot MTT bots aswell, after they got reported they were gone, no refunds.
On Stars usually if someone gets reported who is colluding or something and its a sure thing they used to get banned realy fast and refunds were given. Even if the refunds are not as big because usualy you have to split it with a bigger pool, still more colluders and botters get scared of and switch sites.
Maybe there are other sites that do alot against cheaters but alot of them dont.

This in general pretty much sums it up. FWIW I think they're better than most. Personally I put more faith and my play in Unibet.

It was a welcome change to play a 9 max PLO tournament today. Isn't it about time some more 8 or 9 max PLO, PLO/8 and NLO/8's were mixed back into the regular schedule? I believe there is currently only one PLO tournament a week which is 9 handed!

^^ Your posts are going to get annoying, mate.

Plus, did you know that Poland is a country with ~40 Million people, so I expect Stars to have >10K players from Poland.

The way you write your complaints it sounds as if you really wanna say that all these players collude and softplay each other when two or more of them are on the same table. Seriously?

Was this announced officially or did they just hope this would go unnoticed with the new "festivals" thingy?

You can thank Bryan and his team from Stars for this. They set up The WCOOP and Mini-WCOOP events.

Also, the main point that we-ve trying to make is that each of the four games should be treated differently. Just because a player prefers PLO 6-max and rarely plays PLO8, doesnt mean 6-max PLO8 or NLO8 would be just as fun. Luke made this mistake by making everything 6-max because he believed 6-max PLO would be popular.

Btw, what Rob is suggesting isn't to change all the games to 8/9-max. Maybe 30-40%?

That type of timbey will never be successful outside of Xcoops. Just look at the 162 ultra deep and how it's been struggling to even keep a 50 entry guarantee
