The $1.10 NLHE 3 stack tournament has just past registration stage and average stack is 25BB, the blind jumps are huge. This needs to be fixed, I'm dreading what this is going to be like when ITM arrives and then final table. This is running like a turbo, I rescind the good job changing structures I gave yesterday, this is just as bad.

An additional $55-$215 freezeout or big or w/e needs to be added between the $215 bounty builder and the big $109. The schedule both before and after feels like it has a decent amount to play but this 1.5-2 hours is deadddddd

People are annoyed they are being ignored, even if we get told that there are no plans to change the payouts then at least we know were we stand. Saying nothing and hoping that the issue will go away isn't a tactic that we should settle for, its reasonable for us to expect an answer one way or another.
I've posted about this issue twice: first here, then again here. There are no plans to revert the payout changes.

I do not drive the discussion in this thread. That is up to you all. I read every post, consider every comment, and post when I have something to add to an existing discussion or an announcement to make.

If you want something changed, you gotta make the case for why Stars wants that change. Stars thinks they want what they have. Show them that's wrong.
how much did amaya pay to get a hold of doggz login creds?

Luke any changes to mixed games schedule planned.
I miss the turbo 27 sd, 22stud8 from early morning and the 8.80 8game turbos aswell as the dailys.
The only changes made so far have been converting some of the1.10 to 2.20.
Please bring back the dailys and make them red.

Would you be willing to work towards a compromise at all?

nice conservative guarantees on Scoops btw. doesnt make sense some of them. the 2100 NL08 psko had a 100k gtd yet the 2100 nl08 zoom has 300k. Event 13-H the players choice 700 psko had a 100k guarantee and it currently has 580k with 4 hours of late reg left.

Ok that's fair enough, I appreciate the reply as this is a big thread and obv I and many others were not aware you had already mentioned the payout structure previously.

Like I said in my previous post much of the frustration comes from the fact many of us feel like we are being ignored.

I hope that you will try and respond a bit more, even if it is to say "There are no plans to revert the X,Y and Z changes" its better than no comment as at least we know where we stand one way or the other.

For example I mentioned the lack of any Omaha H/L full ring mtts just after the changes were made and I know many other people have asked reasonable questions about the reduction of non NLH games in the schedule and afaik we are all still waiting for a reply.

Super Knockouts are now just labelled as knockouts as normal knockouts no longer exist.

Surprising to see you say "new schedule sucks" when everything you asked for has been added

please at least built out tues and thursdays some and see what happens..i think u can appeal to the rec's while appeasing the regs..win win. demand is there but with all these sick live epts and other birds, you gotta put some really good ones on there to get the real shockwave of players making those days must play. you can build this out slowly and more organically if you really want, but please just do something..there really is no need tho..you could easily throw 5-7 additional HS tournaments on tuesdays and thursdays and people would flock to them...litereally begging for em...just busted super tue and i'm sooo bored now....mooooreeeeee

Shootout 6max was a really fun format, would be cool to see a major out of it. Don't think daily shootouts would be very succesful, but once a week would be great.

^Same to NLHE/PLO 6 max. I write to players in L and M edition if they like that tourny, like me , to write to support so we can have weekly edition.

Replace it with what format? Vanilla Friday or something and make it lower stakes? It's not clear what actually fits on Friday.
