[OFFICIAL] PokerStars MTT Thread - Page 85 - MTT Poker Strategy

I don't know, but you'd have to imagine for somebody working 9-5 it's a lot easier to play on sunday from 7-8pm to 1-2am and then on monday or tuesday from 7-8pm to potentially up to 3am or something. If you ever get deep in the million with the current structure it gets up to 5am easily without making a big score. I personally haven't played the milly regularly in a long time, and I have no work at 9am.

Changing the structure by not having to play a dumb 20/40 no ante level would be a start. Turn it into a 2-day event would be good too. Let the play on Sunday last 'till around 3:30 or 04:00 GMT+1. I think it would make recs excited if they could chat to their mates about how they are competing for 200k up top on Monday evening.

I meant kickoff into Spark slot. Don't even know when WU is right now.

so put WU into Kickoff slot

Kickoff 04:00 ET
Warm-up 08:00 ET
SM: 11:00 ET
2nd Chance 14:30 ET
Sunday 6max 15:00 ET
then add a new tournament for the now empty 17:00 ET slot that. Sunday Final or Sunday Wrap-Up with a 100k gtd.

maybe could see the Sunday Million at 13:00 ET. Weekday and weekend tournaments don't necessarily need to start at the same time. The SCOOP decided to go with 13:00 for the second event of the day so maybe if that succeeds that's data to support a move.

But remember when we tried the Weekender at an early start time on Saturday? Total failure with no support from the playerbase. Never going to see the Million around that timeslot.

Making the SM into a 2 day is a bad idea imo I highly doubt most recs would prefer it to be 2 day MTT.

SM is the least of stars problems right now they gotta fix these garbage payout structures first.

Put the new sched?
We need to know the sched to find the better time to start a session, backers need to review sched for each player and etc.

Re open the dialog about new payouts, at least for big fields!

if you get deep in any 100$+ tourney the rake you paid should be used for odering a pizza so you don't starve while playing

Don't mess with the breaks... what are you going to do with all the tables from other sites...sit out!?

I like this idea. at least two big break for 1pm and 7pm, lunch time and dinner time. we are humans, so we need to eat. It's very bad for health eating while playing.

well, other sites did not have sync break a few years ago. poker players still survive. they all learn/copy from PS.

i agree there should be 2 bigger breaks within the day. 10-15 minutes
especially or at least during *COOP series

having 10-15 minute breaks is a very poor idea.

think about it....they are trying to make things better for recs not regs.

if anything needs to be changed its the payout structures.

Luke has no obligation to post on 2+2, as evidenced by Baard's disappearance in the SNG threads.

At least we get something back, and a decent amount of things have been done as a result of this thread over the last couple of years. In 1 day's time we're all going to have a new schedule to feast over. I feel like you can cut him some slack that's all.
