they are pretty popular but attract a lot of people who can't afford it and thus people start stalling every hand and you sometimes get to play less than 30 hands in the last half hour (1 hand per minute!). This makes the playing experience not so great to put it mildly(both for the regs and amateurs).

if you compare it with tuesdays where you have 11 4$ 3x r/a sats, you could see that the playing experience is much better in those and participation is also good (an average of 40 hands in the last 30 minutes).

I think adding 3-4 4$ 3x R/A sats for the Thrill on Thursday would give a chance to those people who want to try to qualify for the Thrill but can't afford 82$ turbos or try to stall in the 7$ 3x sats.
crosspost from the satellite thread. last time I try to address this.

Luke, can u check how big the 109r gets on wednesday? i Mean the late one, the 6max, maybe with a bit of love it could become a 20k tournament... maybe call it wednesday 6max? It doesnt take traffic of any of the others tournaments and i think could become popular

I really believe that the process for setting guarantees has improved the situation significantly. Many guarantees have been increased in the past few weeks alone. In Jan/Feb 2016 we guaranteed ~15% more in the main schedule than in Jan/Feb 2015.
Yeh I wasn't moaning about GTD's in general. I just cannot believe that an 'Anniversary Boost' tag on some games on the day would not spur the extra unique players and everyone else to flick in more games.

And the bolded, is this based on data or what You seem to be implying more people will ditch all their regular games to one table the million than extra players will reg. Given there's pretty much max MTT punters logged in on the day, its again a real struggle to believe.

in the scoop thread it was mentioned that a big sunday PLO tourney has been promised at a player meeting in the past.

wether that promise was made or not, i think it would be a great addition to the schedule. a 530$ or 1k 6max would be really awesome

Any Omaha additions in the pipeline? Would be great to see some new Omania tournaments added.

Can you please add 2 8cHyperSats to the B162? Other hypercube sats are doing pretty good. Could easily implement more and more of them. Same for B109, could bring some 5chypers 30min prior startingtime.

Question about $1M Freeroll.

At the moment there are 14370 players registered. What happens if 30 000 players aren't registered until the start of the tournament? Will it get canceled?

no, it starts. 30k is the cap

100k is the cap, 30k is the min.. so I guess it would cancel but I'm pretty sure there's more promotions to come next week to get into the 1M.

you should seriously test 320 6m on a saturday, I'm sure it would do amazing and not effect traffic anywhere.

no reason it wouldn't get 150 players, would be perfect tournament and id play it every saturday instead of a $100 or something on a different site.

deep stacks could be rebranded to make them much more attractive.

3 daily deepstacks

The Good Morning (replaces 22 deepstack at 1230 Uk)
The Good Evening (55 at 230pm)
The Night Owl (22 at 1030pm)

feel like people neglect them as they are partly because they arent given a funky name or enough love in the lobby

Any chance we can have $27 freezeout Hyper Sats to the Wednesday $530 plo8 please.

They always do well for the 215s but the $11r sats sometimes dont even run and just adding a vanilla 27 sat would be perfect,

530/ 1k PLO Sunday 6 max would be the nuts.

Hey, why you dont show KOs in Proko like FTP does it, just show the amount u can rly win and not the amount the player has on his bountyhead which you have to devide by 2 again.

personally like Stars method because on FTP part of the prizepool is not "shown". You need to * everyone's bounty at your table by 2 to show the bountypool at your table.
