Well you're doing a great job of making sure nobody wants to play saturdays anymore Luke. Bravo.

Had to post this one. Adding new formats is good, removing popular old ones before it (like you did with NLO8 8-max and 9-max) is extremely bad.

Unreal decision to change a very succesful and like tournament into the one format every single one of us hates.

wp stars.. once again.

+1, seems a bad decision, why not just add a new tourney that can be 100% KO??

So everybody complains about 100% KO but still you make the worst possible decision and change the only remaining normal KO tourneys into slots.
Seems like Saturday will be a free day from now.

"New Structure!" tho guys - so exciting! A glorified cash game structure with double the rake. Thanks so much!

+1 to Friday majors being bad too. How about a "Slow Friday" - a 215 vanilla 12-15min blind 200bb starting.

So why not create one filter with both buy-ins?

Watch when the upcoming SCOOP events are showing in the clients. Every event will immediately have Greek players registered for it, pretty much before anyone else. Then closer to the start of those events, the majority will un-register and look for other events to put there money into temporarily.

If you are trying to implement 100% KO into the normal schedule why can't you just add it as a new mid/high stake tourney instead of getting rid of a long term Saturday fixture and is not struggling whatsoever.

Please reconsider.

The number of runners for this 320ko will probably increase.More recs will reg it because for them its cool to win a 100% ko and the greedy regs will reg it because they will think field is softer and over estimate their win rate as usual in these moronic gimmick type tournaments.

Then stars will have the data to support implementing this 100% ko and the flood gates will open with more and more tournaments becoming 100% ko

Wow! I didn't know about this and I was always wondering, why all these Greek players are registering in all the big events. Thanks for sharing this info!

wp luke, another horrible decision from you.

Surprised nobody has mentioned it. Not only has the Saturday $320 SKO been changed to a 100% PSKO, but all of the other "Saturday SKO" tourneys have been changed to 100% PSKO, including the Early and Late Edition ones. I would not be surprised if the Saturday 75% Bounty Builders are converted to 100% PSKOs in the near future.

Well done stars, killing MTTs, one of the last alive formats.

Hey Luke,

These pay tables have been reverted back, and the min cash and top pays need to be looked and see why min cashes are back to 1.5.

Not very lucrative for recs to play these and 1.9, 2x min pays are needed

The thing is market decides, don't play it(hopefully less recs will play also)!

The sad reality is that, there will be less regs and they see the good lobby with fun players and they will play it anyway...

I love how Luke never comments in here anymore. Stars just do not care about the poker community. By the end of the year I'll be surprised if there are any vanilla tournaments remaining in the schedule.
