Field might be tougher in real, but the "25%" gives a mental strength when grinding, it's easier to see the light in the tunnel if you know what I mean?

English is my second language so maybe I can't make my point clear

Maybe it just suits my nitty playstyle better...

I've discussed the idea of an Omaha chat with broken_jia and we'll be moving forward with it soon. I'm leaving many of the details up to him, but my suggestions were that he picks the community members to invite, the group discusses and agrees on a set of high priority items, they're sent on to me, I investigate, and then share my findings with the group at which time we can have an open discussion.

I m a PLO whale but is there any way to make four card timbeys play deeper when approaching the final table? Only way I can think of is make them psko or sko bc the daily 55 omania is painfully shallow on the ft and same goes for the 109 on Saturday I believe while I didn't get that feeling in for example the scoop medium PLO or the Sunday 82 pko

Yeah thanks for the reminder, but I rather play Powerfest. Terrible WCOOP, by the way. Skipped all but 1 event, but I am glad there's four other tournament serieses to play at the same time. Only interesting events (mäinly NLO8 / PLO8) were starting during European midnight and had 20 min or 30 mins levels, no thanks.

For the regular tournaments, as long as PLO8 / NLO8 MTTs remain 6-max I don't see any reason to return PokerStars. I really don't see why Luke seems to agree in every post since the change that 6-max only is not preferred but does really nothing to change it. For Texas Hold'em MTTs Stars really has nothing to offer: bad tournament structures, more tough fields and raked rebuys but I really love to play full day of NLO8 / PLO8 at least once in a while.

15cet till 18cet needs some serious fixing, its such a boring timespan now it really makes me reconsider my daily starting time. In the past, you were excited to be just in time for 8r h33 and you were never short of any games to play, now it realls feel like a dead timezone to me except for a few reds. From an hourly pov it would make much more sense to start my session around the 18 cet timemark now, which is pbb what is going to happen in the near future. Now you might not care about me, but i'm sure others feel the same. Removing/crippling the rebuys (8r 8c etc) was just a really bad move.

How about moving that 55 max pko from 1850 cet somewhere in that timeslot to begin with?

Introduce variable rake for bubble rush tourneys.

Charge 4.75-5% rake for players who don't reach itm. Players who make itm charge them rake according to their finish position. A player who finishes 1st pays the most rake(by deducting from his/her payout). A player who just makes itm will be charged 15% etc etc

I hope this post don't get reported

Like I said above, I'll be taking a look at this stakes level next. Deep Stacks PKO additions have crushed though!
For Low Stakes additions:

Issue: There is no regular MTTS available between 9:30-11:00AM BB 16.5 @ 9:30 and 11:00 Big 7.5

Solution: Can we get the old 13.5 KO tourneys added (possibly without ante's , old structure) @ say 10:00 AM EST and Noon.



Issue: There is no Blue majors from 9:00 to 13:00 pm.

Solution:
Adding a 8.80 Marathon @ 10:30 AM would be helpful.



Issue: Low Stakes Schedule feels shallow even though there is variety.

Solution: Can we have a 4.40 cubed or 4.4 Quad added @ 10:30ish.




Issue No low stakes Hot from 11:15 to 17:15,

Solution can you add a low stakes Hot @ 13:15 EST




Issue: Fewer Bigs in low stakes

Solution: Can you add a Big 16.50 @ 15:00

Thanks for making this heppan

+1m

they used to be better with 3k starting stacks but probably cant revert back to that now as recs will perceive it negatively even if the structure is a lot better...

I love the bubble rush format, but I'm never ever touching it with even a pair of pliers until you fix the rake.

No reentries on PSKO please. It's the format that recs like the most and reentries do scare them off a little, so leave it as it is. If you're gonna do it then go with the thrill or the super sized sunday where most of the players are regulars.

Totally agree with the above. Re-entries scare a lot of players off no matter what variant of tournament it is.

I think there are a few reasons but, one of the main reasons is to do with BR's (rec's in general have smaller BR's).

Re-entries can at times play very much like a re-buy and often people with larger BR's play a lot looser and take more chances etc...in the hope of doubling up early, sound in the knowledge that they can re-enter if they bust. Many rec's can't afford to play like or do this so, tend to stick to games where re-entries aren't available and people value there chips more because, once they bust they know that's it.

Fair enough. I'd rather regs were taking marginal spots and gambles personally, but i see the other side.

Of course, but I think there is nothing wrong to have 1-2 MTTs per day with such a format. You could add this format just for test, like you did with the bubble rush.

Reentry in the hs stuff will kill the tourneys more than any other stakes, noone will want to take shots. Everyone itt is desperate to give suggestions for tourneys they never play. We've even got a guy trying to get the weekender buyin changed to what it already is. I am not spouting off asking for changes to the micro schedule, keep it to yourself if it's not going to effect you please. Not many hs regs actually post, we could be more effective in getting good changes if they weren't drowned out by the loud and uninformed.

Luke/Bryan why doesn't PokerStars just show PSKO cashes like this?



This is from Svenska Spel, Swedish only site with an old version of Boss Poker. Barely 21st century.
