was there still overlay after late reg ended? They cancelled the 3.30 400gtd ante up with less overlay, and more of a chance of making the gtd last week once, so just seems weird.

Regarding this week's Sunday Million, being strictly results oriented, were it not a re-entry tournament it would have had a slight overlay with 4930 players. Let's call 4930 E for entrants.

Also, there are probably a (small) number of players who maybe wouldn't have played the Sunday Million today, but decided to do so simply because it was a re-entry tournament. Let's call that number O for opportunistic.

Further, there are probably a number of players who probably would have played the Sunday Million today, but decided not to because it was a re-entry tournament. Let's call that number K.

You could extrapolate the number of entrants the Million would have gotten today were it not a re-entry by taking:

E - O + K

My question is, given an E of 4930, all things considered, do you think today would have overlayed if it wasn't a re-entry? Or to put it differently, do you think

K - O > 69?

Or to put it in more simple terms, since I would say O is probably a very small number, are there > 70 people willing and able to play it, but sitting the million out while it is a re-entry?

That $82 Sunday HORSE is a nice tournament. It got 9k prizepool with only a 4k GT today maybe put the GT a little more aggressive to see if you can get it over 10k prizepool for the future. I think their should be more mixed game tourneys with blue label in the lobby as well.

****, I still have dreams about how poker used to be, back when there was an endless stream of players. I mean, what we all want is bigger prizepools and a healthier, thriving MTT scene. But because we don't get a time machine back to 2013 when online poker was at a healthy state, we can't just go back.

Face it friends, poker will never be what it used to be for us, and nothing is gonna change that . All we can do is adapt and hang on.
Have the gtds ever been more microscopic then now?? The new pay structure is not an improvement, it is simply a change. They should of knocked the bottom two to four pay spots off, and added that money to the new bottom pay spots, instead of turning the final tables into a joke with a fart up top.

Actually the rebuys could do very well if they didn't go out of their way to destroy them completely. They don't like so much money at a FT because then people cash out more. That is the main reason they did this. They are keeping millions and millions of dollars on the site like this. To say it was for any other reason is an unreasonable and unbelievable lie.

We need more games as well as more variety on the schedule. There are sure a lot of PKOs Hypers and timebombs, and not much else.

Are you for ****ing real?? Because the new schedule is garbage, the pay structures are a joke, the gtds are lowest I have ever seen, attendance is lower then I have ever seen (even for a soccer summer,) and there is hardly enough games on top of that! Also the software hardly functions properly and has more bugs then a dead tree.

It doesn't take a time machine, it takes competence. Of which stars is in short supply.

right.

and nobody here likes the initial change to the payouts. Don't have to argue that with me.

Luke,
Micromillions, whats the go? You stated 3 weeks ago keep an eye out, everyone is yet nothing, and with less then a month to the first date you suggested. When is a forum coming to have some back and forth with the schedule like the Coop's get? Also, what are the changes to the series you mentioned? Was good time frame with tourneys all throughout the day, hopefully this hasn't changed. The small stake rec players are wanting to take time off of work to play this series, we do need time to organize and cannot just take work off like a tip of a hat. Please some correspondence would be much appreciated

Apart from the super nova retraction (which is scandalous at best) , they are not screwing people over. Nobody is forcing you to play.

About the disdain, is this your general approach in life to problems you are facing and is it working out for you?

Of course nobody is forcing me to play. I don't. I used to play a LOT of MTTs on pokerstars. They made some unnecessary (and "scandalous") changes to turn a good system to ****, so now, I don't.

Amaya have mentioned the shrinking poker industry a lot as justification for their changes. Perhaps a lot of their behaviour is only hastening the rate at which it shrinks.

If they hadn't made all these changes I would still be playing as many MTTs as I used to. Should I not express that (albeit in a frustrated manner)?

Express? Yes. In a frustrated manner? No. Its just -ev, achieves nothing, and if anything usually just the opposite. Of course you are free (within bounds) to do as you please, but it in my mind it doesnt do the poker cause any good at all.

For the record i also have reduced my mtt volume a lot. Hoping to give a (inanely small) signal of some kind.
