Disagree- its important to keep spamming this thread with payout changes till something happens
That's how we got T500 and more recently Luke reversed his horrendous structures

reentry tourneys used to be labeled as such much more clearly, now in scoop they arent. i feel that this was done on purpose and is deceptive. have had several friends who only found out the scoop high they were in was a reentry because they busted. understand that it is the players responsibility to know what theyre regging for, but i still feel that this is just another slimey amaya maneuver.

also, the 1k plo rebuy was a turbo and not labeled as one, consequently u were able to add on for 10 bigs, for 1k....errr 1050. i feel this was also intentionally deceptive.

Spamming is not constructive in the slightest. Post after post of 'change it' solves nothing. PS as a whole (not Luke) have made a global decision to pay more players to keep more players in the game in a post black Friday world. It's a business decision.

The T500 was a single tournament that was based on player demand for an addition and the structure tweaks (Not reversal) were done after a week maybe? The new structure was launched, people made constructive feedback about it and it was changed in a small time frame. Seems like a good turnaround when you're dealing with 7000+ tourneys and 200K+ players.

Let the sleeping dog lie and get back to focusing on having the best schedule to play on.

can we revert rebuy rake changes while we're at it?

Oh and give SNE their money goddamnit.

Seems to be a bug and rebuy trnys were deployed twice each today?

You have to understand that we're not yelling about for example about raking rebuys. This is something that sucks, everybody understood it and learned to live with it. We're asking about reasonable things. Some excel manager (most likely from India, hi Anuj) decided to order to keep money in the system they should spread payouts even more. They don't see that they're making the experience miserable both for regs and recs (that they care so much for!) and they're killing tourmanents further. With poor tournament offering they possibly think they can force players into hypers/spin and goes and whatnot - when in reality an average poker player probably simply won't play at all with such severe lack of options. With many moves since the takeover they've shown they seem to have very little understanding of poker world and they treat poker just like another casino game, so we have to tell them how wrong they are. Whining about players' criticism and feedback seems much worse than criticism itself.

scoop 16low frozen

14.15 ET 1.10$R 3x-Turbo gtd down to 15k. It was 60k 2 years ago.

of course, but I don't mind skipping rebuys/being them gone if the rest of the issues are sorted out.

Well, you seem to play rather the Big 11$, but I liked that tourney. And playing for 11k up top is different than 2.3k (today's figure, complete game got 15,178$).

Luke it would be great if u added couple vanilla 11-109 turbos after hot22. theres really nothing to play that is not pko at the end of the session. thanks

I am quite fond of the odd PSKO but they're literally everywhere now. The main reason I play MTTs is for that big score, not to reduce my risk by hoping to knock people out along the way. I know this post will be ignored because Stars loves spreading the prize pools but it's just making me avoid tournaments I would otherwise play.

Stars probably likes PKOs because that's what is popular.

jagg > yea that time period after the Big 215 deserves more turbos.

rep porter: you guys are self harming by being so negative.

scott putski: start looking for a new job, this ship is sinking.

Dont know if it was a mistake, but it was great to have more rebuys.
11+ made 18k and 17k PP, please add some more low buyin rebuys, could easily run a 5 to 11r every hour.

Can we have some 9 max PLO8 MTT's please 6 max is great but making the whole schedule 6 max is too much i think.

And can we please get the weekly $215s back so we have some big buyins to play on the weekend.

Hi,

I just wanted to check in again and ask if we can get back some PST evening smaller field micro-stakes NLHE freezouts back.

I used to find plenty to register or late-register around 6pm-7pm but now I barely play on PokerStars on weeknights and opened accounts at a couple of other sites for the first time.

I'm hoping for something like a $3.30 $500-$750 GTD (~150-300 runners)...as well as $4-$7 level around the same size field.

The old 8-handed was a staple evening tourney for me because it had the smallest fields but the fact that it was 8-handed had nothing to do with why I was playing it.

The deep-stacks are close but with the re-entries and 2-hour late reg they can stretch beyond a reasonable bed time.

Cheers,

Once again why there`s no mini-NLO8 on Friday?

when i shipped this tourney in 2013 (obv brag) it was for 15k and was a blade bird...now i don't look at it with any seriousness

bounty builder are definitely > than the bigs atm

but for stars, obviously, it spreads payouts even thinner so when the recs dont cash there's still a decent chance they can get some money back

+1
plus plz put a MTT between the 14:08 ECT splash $1,10r and the 16:05 Omania $27 nlo8.
there is a 2 hour gap without a Mtt.

Vwp! The new graphical enhancements for KO Poker seem very alike in design and quality.

This. Nothing else needs to be said.

BTW: These so called "changes" (which really are just money-grabbing strategies of the worst kind) are the most negative things towards the poker community. So we can be treated with a negative attitude and expected to response with positivity? C'mon we are not dogs. We won't frisk our tail when you beat us.
