As stated several times, Luke does not give a flying F**K!

When will you guys ever learn!?

Honestly its about time 2+2 takes some action and bans Luke from this forum.

Indeed what a total disaster he is, you have to beg him to get something done and then the tournament that is added is succeeding and exceeding the guarantee by 20-25% daily and Stars removes it.........................

First Saturday with 20k guarantee in months and it does this:



Question is why even lower it when it was doing 20k+ every week anyways.

Furthermore this illustrates my point about more PKO hu Zooms being very popular tournaments and having space for all sorts to be added in the $11-60 range 3-4 during the day-night schedule ET.

I don't get why Stars won't experiment more with formats, you don't have to go crazy, you can even make them freezeouts if you really want to minimize impact on schedule, but there are always turbos and hypers running 2-3x every hour, the tournaments I'm suggesting barely run once every 8 hours.

Mind blown

LOL LOL ,i also wasnt aware of this i was thinking they are added,what a scam .Also i was going to play spins for tickets ,anyway because pokerstars became scamstars i asked support before i play them if i win 530 $ ticket can i play other tourney for 530$ ,not transfer the money into T$ but only play other tourney because i will not be able to play it at this date but thats not the case u are forced to play only and only this main event not other 530$ of the series or daily tournament ,so they lose my rake on 2.5$ spins ...get rekt(i mean players) .

im curious, do other ppl go through a similar process to me after reading every single PSLuke post

step 1 - brief silence. stare at screen. shake head.
step 2 - get mad at yourself for getting drawn in again.
step 3 - get mad at psluke for being psluke.
step 4 - rage tilt compose an abusive msg.
step 5 - delete said msg, possibly muttering "its not worth it".
step 6 - rewrite msg.
step 7 - delete again, shake head multiple times, force a mirthless laugh.
step 8 - close browser window and mentally ban yourself from thread for at least a month.

Anybody else getting lag on zoom tournies? Been crazy last few days, usually I could play around 6 hands per minute (9max that is), now I can barely play 2 as the lag is INSANE.

I have been stuck at a table for 5 minutes now. Had I known, I would not have registered..

In BBS 08

9 max zzzzzoom pko is a lot of fun

same

How long are these bounty builder events going to the last? Looks like a long time

A long time.

Not sure at whom are these events aimed, what rec can play 10-12 hours event during the week? I like the series but won't able to play again any of the events. The only turbo and hyper events late at euro time too. Some variety? I'd love to play at least a turbo one because it's 6 hours but if all of them start at 11pm then it's a bit pointless again.

Luke i know that the site aint that important anymore but u need to address the issue in client about the added tickets coming out of the prizepool. This would never of happened under the old ownership.

Really not shocked tbh with ur rake changes not being shown ect. Rip amaya

This 21 CET starting time for 15-minute level one day tournaments is just brutal for anyone in Europe - last night the 215 ended at 10 CET

Please consider doing something about them - either turn them into 2-day things or switch slots - I know that after the series have started that's tough to do, but it's just not the optimal starting time for a huge % of the player pool - rec and reg alike

So I got forced onto PokerStars India and you guys won’t believe the barren wasteland I play on. I pine for the old days of a 20k guarantee for a random $22 tournament. So on the amazing PokerStars.in there is one tournament per day which is worth playing. It is the only tournament that carries a buy in above $15. This occurs once per day at 8 pm. The irony is that other Indian sites have multiple decent sized tourneys daily and many Indian players have told me they wish stars had larger daily events. All stars had to do was take a small risk and add a couple of decent tourneys. They didn’t of course and we’re left playing one tournament per day with an ok buyin and prizepool.

Luke pls if you can direct this feedback to the person in charge of our schedule, that would be much appreciated. Basically pls add more tournaments within two hours of the current daily major. Two more tournaments would be awesome with guarantees above 2-300k rupees pls. Also the Sunday schedule could easily support another couple of large buyin events. There’s literally two tournaments to play on Sunday and we would love more. Thanks

RIP Anuj

55$ marathon and 44$ big are too close. I think if you swap b44 with b22, they will do better.

You also need a red mid (11~33 tornament) reg speed after b11 and before b33. The gap is too long.
In fact, you need ANY good low speed tornament between bb33 and b33, if you dont play 55$ and <11 there is literally 0 slow speed tornametns worth to play for 3hours and half.

I see a bunch of 11$ 3k, 22$ 5k etc, can you please make one of those special?

Stars gave me a refund, so if you were impacted, contact them.

can you change the buyin for Mini Marathon to 11$ ?

Can you add 1 more big every hour during peak hours ?

Example Bigger 44, also add Bigger 11 @ 10:00 am
Bigger 7:50 add a Bigger 33 @ 11:00 am
Bigger 11, add a Bigger 27 @ 14:00 pm es

Please thik abut it.

As much as I appreciate a Bounty Builder Series.. but announcing it one week before is way too short (unless I missed an anouncement somewhere).
Surely I am not the only person who might have made other plans for that time.

And still waiting for more Hyper PKOs!! ohmegalul

Thinking about this, make the saturday schuffle a daily thing? Amazing time slot, tornaments and buy ins. Also i dont think you have a 6max psko slow structure in a daily basis.

Since April 16, 2018 :'(

I felt the same way the day I lost winamax.

I'm not entirely clear what you're referring to. Which satellite lobby pops up?

You're right, it should be more clear. All of the future Bounty Builder tournaments (and the Mini-Million which uses the same functionality) have been updated with the following message:



Unfortunately, the previous version of this message wasn't appearing for those who play in a language other than English. Apologies for the confusion - we'll do our best to ensure it doesn't happen again.

The tournament you mentioned as disappearing (12:25 ET Heads-Up Progressive Total KO) has magically reappeared from tomorrow. I do not know how it was removed, but it was not intentional!

And, in the spirit of Bounty Builder Series, the following will be added from Monday:

• 11:05 ET: $5.50 [Heads-Up, Turbo, Zoom, Progressive Total KO], $3K GTD
• 15:05 ET: $16.50 [Heads-Up, Turbo, Zoom, Progressive Total KO], $5K GTD
• 16:15 ET: $7.50 [Heads-Up, Hyper-Turbo, Zoom, Progressive Total KO], $3K GTD

Thanks for the feedback. I think one-off special tournaments with a long run time are fine, but I wanted to take a look at yesterday's results before making any changes. Tournaments will be changed from tomorrow in the following ways:

• The daily 12:30 ET $530 will have its level times reduced from 15 minutes to 12 minutes during the late registration period. Late registration will be reduced to 3 hours and 15 minutes. The Sunday editions will retain their current structure.
• The remaining Omania High Roller SE has also had its structure updated.
• Many of the 13:00 ET and 15:00 ET tournaments will have their level times reduced for the first several hours. The changes depend on buy-ins, so please see the lobby for details. The goal was to chop around 60 minutes off of the overall run time. Like the daily $530, the Sunday editions will be unaffected.

Further changes can and will be made if needed!

Thanks for taking the time - I've passed this feedback on to the staff responsible for PokerStars.IN.

I disagree regarding the suggestion to switch the Big $44 and Big $22 - the Big $22 does quite well in its current time slot!

As for your other suggestion, what qualifies as special in terms of guarantee level? Would a regular, non-branded $11 MTT with $10K GTD count as special?

The Mini Marathon is another example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The tournament does well with its current buy-in, so there's no plans to change it.

Similarly, I don't foresee an expansion of the Bigs. The more instances of a specific brand you have, the less special it becomes. I don't think participation would benefit from an expansion, either. 28 daily is plenty!

No announcements were missed. Bounty Builder Series was planned and executed in a much shorter time frame than a typical series, but we wanted to do it anyways to provide a bit of fun for players during a period usually light on MTT promotions while we plan the rest of the year and beyond.

"As for your other suggestion, what qualifies as special in terms of guarantee level? Would a regular, non-branded $11 MTT with $10K GTD count as special?"

Yes, it count. But was i said later, a daily schuffle would be amazing.
But if you cant, a 11$ 10k non ko is fine.
