Yes, confirmed for April 14th, but scant other details.

Yeah, on April 1st: 1/4 the buyin and 5K Gtd. GL

@silentLuke



All HU MTTs are outperforming their GTDs & keep growing more and more. Right now almost all HU MTTs are in the evening schedule and we still have that massive no-zoom-gap from 11:10-14:30 CET. Id suggest a $ 11 HU MTT at 12 CET and another $ 22 at around 13:30 - 14:00 CET. Id also like to see a $ 33 HU MTT in the evening schedule (maybe even as a daily major and maybe as replace for one of the existing ones). Right now all evening schedule HU MTTs are $5.50 - 16.50.

I am pretty sure a lot of people would participate in them even there would be one every hour. & also include more HU MTTs in the SCOOP schedule, its a very popular format and we didnt even have a single one in the Winter Series and the TCOOP.

^ Lower those buyins. $5 one would be nice. Vast majority of players are micro players.

fine for reg zooms but pls pls pls no more 5$ zoom hu pkos, complete waist of time/table space

get another common cents going for colin. he has a high profile job and won't waste that hard earned money on higher buyins

For some reason I get a newer layout in Stars. Looks a bit like Party. I did see a message about Beta, but then I get it without choosing for it. Table positioning messed up.
I am out. More later.
Anyone else same problem ?

Yes, i have the same problem. Smallest possible table size is 20% of the screen. Support gives me super generic answers.

+1

Luke the $16.5 is killing it (the one I told you to add).

Add some more, there is no reason they can't run every hour or two.

Some hypers, and 7 minute blinds would be nice too, or hell add ones with some payouts for the top 10.

There are SO many fun variants you can do of them and the people love them.

Luke hasn't been seen since 2017

Would be fun to see short deck mtts. Oh srry i dnt know why i bother writing here but with triton series seems good time to implement it

You can turn it off under Settings

so the blue majors on star still attract like plethora of folks regging last min..

Mini tuesday 22, had 50 people join in last 10 seconds

more than half of them from ukraine, checked these 2 new opened tables

obv there is still a group that syndicates this play and goes undetected

95% ITM



85% ITM



Yup, all folks on table 79 and 80 cashed

pretty remarkable expoitation of ev

Didn't stars announce they closed this loophole by not seating all late reg players on the same table? Maybe im thinking of something else but good catch and defo email stars with the evidence as seems this thread has been abandoned by Luke.

Some of the players with about 80-90% ITM ,thats what u get when u have 18-20% payouts structure.Long time ago i stall in deep payouts and some zooms and tbh there was regulars late reggers .Stars reduce late reg time but make 20% payouts so now they must make 1st make mincash 1 buy in so they dont get anything 2nd give this players ban or some months suspension + warning 3rd players who latereg not to be on same tables.Start checking player which mincash on random picking and a lot of them are 70%+ITM latereg REGS.Pathetic site.

Absolute disgrace that you have had to find this and not Stars.

And they won't be the only group, obviously.

MR Luke i have two suggestions

-Probably allready many people requested 6+ MTTs so speak with ur crippled software team to make it possible and add some mtts 6+ in the schledule to see if people are interested.

-i the restart days we have Mtt 7 max hyper total ko zoom 10bb stack 2 min levels,well this tournament
seem quite fun but the rake on it is quite big for a 2 min levels so u can try to add tournaments 7 max pko or total pko 10bb stack but with a rake of 3-6 %max since u start with ridicilious stack and 2 min blinds or just add some 7 max tournaments to try them out ,we have 3,4,6,8,9 max but dont have 7 and 10 max why not ?

This is not only Stars either. Deal with it.

The Q4 poker numbers showed a 10% revenue decline (4.4% in constant currency) due to a variety of factors, including TSG’s PokerStars brand exiting the Australian market and increased cross-sell to casino products depleting players’ poker bankrolls.

TSG reported reduced deposits by customers in certain markets following “local restrictions on some methods of payment processing,” including but not limited to Russia. TSG claimed the company was “finding alternative ways for players to deposit” in these markets.

The company’s ongoing transformation is most evident in its product mix. Poker accounted for 35% of TSG’s overall revenue last year, down significantly from the dominant 65% share in 2017. Betting claimed a 32% share, while casino wasn’t far back with 30%.

Nice research, but please don't give them the idea to give a mincash of one buy-in. They've ****ed up payouts enough as it is.

I am waiting for the Sunday Million to have the buy in of 215 stars coins as a $500 guarantee

Over under Luke posts in this thread ever again?

I lean towards him posting on an infinite timeline, but if we're capping it at a year or two, I lean towards not.

Have you reported this, guys? Any feedback from Stars support?

Its very discusting to see that some of them are doing this since 2017 and stars hasnt done anything yet. They even supported them by adding larger payout structures. Bubbles in those tournaments always felt weird and super long. This cases just shows once more that Luke isnt capable of managing the whole schedule by himself.
