all bubbles on Stars up until about hand for hand play out slower and shallower than on other sites it seems to me. the payout structure and grimy players like the ones listed on the previous page are in sure largely responsible for it.

Two tables showing up like the ones listed on the previous page can be easily fixed though. As soon as late reg breaks just have every single table in the entire tournament broken up and randomized into all new tables for everyone in the tournament. That seems like the fairest solution to me.

How on earth can Stars allow two tables of all min late reg stacks to all be situated on the same table together? Of course it's going to make sense even if they aren't all colluding together to waste as much time as possible in that scenario.

Can someone explain the making a deal option on stars? On 888, it seems like you can have it checked and thus once others all check it, there is a deal. But on stars, it shows like how many players check it. Example there are 9 players and it will show 0/9. Or say 1 person check it and then it shows 1/9 deal discussion etc. Now if a player is busted, it will show 1/8 assuming that player who busted did not check the deal. But if that player was the one that checked it, now it would show 0/8.


What im curious about is say it gets shorthanded. Say 6 players left and you have 1 or 2 players check it. Then when it gets down to 3 handed. If 1 person checks it, then it would show 1/3. But say 2 ppl check it... then would it show 2/3? Thus if you are the one player that did not check the button to discuss deal, then you know its the other 2 players who want to discuss? But if you were one of the 2 players who checked it, and it shows 2/3 discuss deal, then you don't know who is the other player who has it checked? Because doesn't this give an advantage to the player who doesn't have it checked if others all check it? Now what happens when it gets to heads up then and say one person already had it checked? Now it shows 1/2 deal discussion so basically both players know who wants to discuss a deal? And thus the player who didn't check it could check it if they choose to do so?


Also when you check the discuss deal, once you uncheck it at any point, can you recheck it again? Or once you uncheck it, that is it and you cannot have the option to discuss deal anymore?

All of the above is correct. Yes, you can check and uncheck it.

Was wondering though why the chat box doesn't work when you're making a deal. Had the deal box up HU before and couldn't type anything. Seemed kinda stupid.

A lot of people already complained about this. The old system was a lot better. But if you dont like how the deal works, there is still an option. All players on the table can go sit out and you can call a mod manually by sending a message to the support. It takes longer and is harder to perform, but it still works.

The new system is trash.

Thanks for increasing the GTDs of most Zoom HU MTTs @Luke.

You could also increase the GTDs of the $ 7.50 hyper at 21:15 from 7.5k to 9-10k and the $ 11 at 23:30 CET from 7.5k to 9k. Both of them easily beat their GTDs and now they start 1h earlier which will increase their playerbase even more.

+1, for multi-site grinder it interacts much better with other sites and it made me play 1h longer (5 more mtts) on Stars both days so far.

At this point, communications with the Tournament Manager at Pokerstars are as one sided as my communications with God and probably with similar chances of success.

Please Luke, let me find a good girlfriend and please, let me get some run good. It's been a long two months!

Also, forgive me for my sins and keep my folks healthy.

You are the greatest, you are the best!

Thank you!

Narrator: The Run Bad continued, Levi didn't find a girlfriend and no positive changes were made in Pokerstars Tournament offerings.

Yeah, I really ****ing wish that they'd release it already, even if just the dates and not the full schedule. People need to book and plan their travels etc around it.
I at least really hope not infinite re-entries and lots of turbos this year. But probably pretty unlikely given the direction they've gone lately.

And yeah, it was nice back when they actually used to put out a draft schedule of it well in advance, and get our feedback on it that then subsequently made them make positive changes for it.
