Not sure why are you guys trying to find a logical explanation for it

It's now common practice for stars to drop GTD's for selected MTT's during time periods when things such as EPT's / WSOP etc...are running, due to player numbers dropping and them worrying about overlays.

It's not a new thing and I was expecting to see it as, EPT Prague is now underway.

Hey all,

• NL 2-7 Single Draw tournaments have returned to 7-handed tables.
• As a result of a player suggestion from the Omaha chat I'm involved in, many tournaments have had their start times changed from :00 to :01 with the hopes of preventing cancellations. This will allow players to take their sync break and still register at the start of the tournament. It is possible that further adjustments will be made, but we'll try this for now.

Apologies to all those affected by this.

We usually stagger the start times of tournaments with enormous numbers of players, but for some reason these ones were scheduled for :00 and :30. I've passed it onto my colleague responsible for promotional tournaments and we'll make the necessary adjustments for future tournaments. We adjusted the start times of some MicroMillions Marathon tournaments as an additional precaution. Thanks for bringing it to our attention - minor site performance issues don’t always make their way to us.

Has anyone given the updated structure a try and have feedback? I've been doing some observing and I feel like this structure is a huge improvement.

Just to reiterate, what I said was:

Here are the tournaments that were converted:

• 00:25 $55 NLHE 6-Max PKO was converted to $44 NLHE 6-Max PKO with re-entries
• 01:08 $3.30 NLO8
• 04:32 $11 NLO8
• 20:23 $2.20 PL 5-Card Draw
• 23:39 $1.10 PLO
• All NL 2-7 Single Draw PKOs (6x daily)

Re-entry in the main schedule is used strategically in ways that have been outlined here before. I think it is useful for off-peak, micro-stakes, non-NLHE, and somewhat sparingly otherwise.

Hi Travis,

When conceptualizing the majors in the new schedule, it was thought that Monday and Friday majors should generally be the least attractive. They're the lowest traffic days for MTTs and having a "day off" isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lately, I've been thinking that rather than sacrifice the days because regulars won't generate liquidity, why not use these days to attract other players? I'm not sure how this would manifest itself, but I'm open to ideas.

That said, Fast Friday is moderately popular at the low and micro-stakes and I imagine we'd receive complaints if they were changed.

If you're still having issues, PM me and I'll investigate.

Yep, I mentioned this in my last post:

Also worth noting that Christmas and New Year's Day are on Sundays and shortly after that is PCA/PCB, which means that high stakes will be in a bit of a lull for the next month or so.

a 11c rebuy got a 11k$ pool yesterday, you think the 13.15 ET 1$ Splash could bet a better gtd than 7,5k?

Friday Quarter mill $320, some marketing and promo and u can make this work like u could award tickets to final tables in things like the mini tuesday etc. And Monday $215 WTB- also move day 2 start time of weekender forward by 1.5 hrs

there is a $5 r&a turbo @ 888 with an 8k guarantee at 8pm CET.

when you used to pay 10 cent rake for 11 rebuys and now you pay more than a dollar you realize you are getting scammed.

At least on closed market sites they had the bs excuse of having to rake rebuys for tax reasons , what is the reason on ps.eu ?

are u kidding me? Since when have you given a single f.uck about complaints? There have been people ITT complaining about stuff to u for months and u have basically told them to stfu and deal with it. Unbelievable

Give it up, x-turbos are dead as long as rebuys remain raked. Evidently stars doesn't see this as a problem (presumably they're making more in rake) so it doesn't look like they will improve.

Luke, I've played a bubble rush and while it does seem improved, it still isn't worth the rake you're charging. I know you won't discuss that, but that's the reason I for one will still not play them.
Is it possible to roll back a few levels once the money is reached? That may be a better solution than to only adjust the level time, or seems at least worth a try.

How fkn cool would it be to see Pokerstars lose their market share to a site funded by former stars regs? Imagine the collaborative effort-- a new poker network in North America, operated by Galfond and company, issuing licnenses to all the big names like Ivey, Phil, Chewy, etc. to form a fulltilt-like business model with shared liquidity

The "play with the pros" model. Not the "im gonna buy lobster with your bankroll" model

Honest question Luke does your employer not let you adjust any criticism or complaints or do you simply not care about peoples (rightfully) angry opinions on changes that keep happening over and over that go against the loyal playerbases best interests ? It's gross seeing you pick and choose who to reply to when people just want answers

If Luke answers this I wil donate to charity

how much tho

About tree fiddy

not true, if you build it they will come, monday used to be a sick day when UK and ireland were allowed on winamax and FR, the monday majors they used to have had all grinders playing mondays, if u put a good MTT on people arent going to miss it, no matter what 'data' ur looking at,

u promoted the bountys in the way of guarantees, there bigger than any daily majors now

do that with a friday major 320$ $250k it would get the numbers, u withered the weekender also that had potential now its a non play reg fest $215 with 9k ftw :| one of best strucs you have to
shame

1) ty
2) Yes structures are way better now, imo you can change the structure when ITM is reached. You have now 12 when itm, 27Players 15min and FT 20Min.
Would be better when you increase level when itm is reached to balance shortstacks a bit better 12->15min (right now it takes a bit till AverageBB is increasing when itm is reached) and decrease FT-time lvl. to 15-17Min. Now the FT is really deepstacked and takes sometimes forever.

RegTurboGames
Another think would be your reg turbo Games with 5min lvl, you could increase minute lvl there a bit too when reaching ITM, would be lovely to have 7min lvl when itm and 10min @ FT.

This would increase playing experience in those games massively .

Thanks for responding, would be nice too see you here on a regular basis. Was always very nice to see you answering posts and giving some insights.
ty

Can we have some micro/low stakes ultra deep hyper turbos or deep stack turbos at prime time slot pls? Also we need more hyper pkos at this slot 07:30-10:30 et

yeah more hyper pkos in the 5.50 to 22 range throughout the schedule would be nice.

I just want to thank you for changing omaha into a gamblefest with only 6max mtts. I used to play al lot of omaha, now I am disgusted by the """game""". Thanks.

Translation: I am a huge nit incapable of adjusting, and can no longer win playing 15/12.

Amazing reply. Enjoy your omaha upswing, it won't last as long as it used to.

Anyone else notice this in lobby?

day after christmas, is there still a sunday milly on christmas or im assuming cancelled/moved to this?



edit/ nvm desc says its the holiday version of sunday milly / bumped up a day

Hello can you add in sng a 2.5 or 3.5 (180 ) rebuy but not turbo?

we already have 2.5 90man and nobody plays them.

Your wording is specific and accurate. Fast Friday's have one of the lowest GTDs of any of the majors...which is appropriate, given turbo zooms tend to have low GTDs and small fields. The person you quoted makes a good point; these would probably be more popular as regular turbos.

^^+1

^^More 9max hypers.

They were also giving away tickets to the battle royale. Also, when Bubble Rush tournis were released, the late night ones rarely met the GTDs for 2 months...yet they never lowered them. They wanted to promoted their new format, and it seems to have worked.
Don't you worry; spins and BTC are extremely popular. That is what's being promoted. How about a Golden SNG day for the Christmas Calendar?

Hi Luke,

Smallest, largest stack in the info tab are showing incorrectly, not sure if its just me or may be some bug after the upgrade today
