[OFFICIAL] PokerStars MTT Thread - Page 26 - MTT Poker Strategy

One reentry would have been more than bad enough and you know it's reaching 10M that way... Why would you ever, ever make it 3x? Especially since at the start of this thread you clearly stated that you wanted to cater towards recs and lower stakes more; well this is one of the very few SM's that a large group of recs will play during the year and you just totally screwed them on it.

Could you elaborate why you've promptly made this 3x-reentry? Bc I like to get wined and dined before I get fckd

It def. goes against their message. I'd love to hear Luke's reasoning.

Huh, pretty simple reasoning. They want 10M guarantee and are afraid they won't get it. Can't blame them.

Do you want a smaller guarantee? Cause that's the alternative.

Single re-entry would've been so much better.

How are you going to explain that 9th Anniversary SM which had much much smaller promo value got 10mln+ prizepool? What have changed in poker economy since last year?

They probably think it will never overlay as a freezeout but if they make it a 3x re-entry they can grab another 50kish in rake dollars. Seems extremely short sighted and contrary to the company line of wanting to give chromestars more value.

I think the perfect compromise is 1x re-entry, but don't see PS making any compromises at this point.

Last year got 50432 runners, it takes less than a 1% decline from last year not to hit 10M. Seems extremely optimistic that you just think it'll hit it no problem, as a freezeout. I do agree that the single re-entry would be sufficient, but hey, I don't have the data

I think you should increase the rake in the SM in order to save the poker economy

Anyone else noticed when the Sunday Million 10M first launched in client it had [Optional Re-entry] in the Tournament title? But now that has been replaced with [$1M+ to First]

It's pretty clear they want the average participant to focus solely on the first prize to the point he doesn't even notice the tournament is a 3X Re-entry until the mtt has started. Quite underhanded tactic imo.

what's going to be more disappointing - time it takes for Luke to respond or his eventual response?

I'd rather Luke spend his time working on improving our playing experience as players than coddling grown men posting in this thread. His job is bigger than writing essays to players on 2p2.

I know it's been asked 100 times but I don't recall an answer, why doesn't $320 SKO have bb500?
