Why were the sats to the $55 PLO dropped?

it would be really nice if players could rebuy and add-on in the 215 1r1a with step 4 tickets.

The rebuy is only worth 200, the step 4 ticket is worth 215

I think there are many players who would like to play SCOOP, but can't, due to stars' deposit difficulties. If you look in the player to player transfer thread right now, it's full of people trying to get money on stars from other sites. Clearly Stars is losing a lot of money because of this. I have been a reg for 3 years at stars and I can't deposit due to a 3k monthly limit. What a let down.

Thumbs up on the $5 rebuy satty to the $109 Main Event. 10 minute levels, 1500 chips for $5, 2500 add-on for $5. Looks good to me. Throw a couple $3 rebuys as well with this same format/structure during prime time Friday and Saturday and they should get nice action.

P.S. Tourney ID for the one I'm talking about is 154586956

i'm loving the SCOOP and the idea of running different buy-in levels simultaneously

please change the payout structures, pay less places and make the smallest payout 2x the buy-in

Stars dropped alot of balls on the scoop. The overlays for some of the events were nice, but they were un-needed, if they had properly ran sattys a few less overlays would have occured (3m guranteed 6max). Stars should get a few 50-100 seats guranteed up and running for the 1kME and some 25 seats+ guranteed for the 10k. Neither of these mtts should need overlays and both should crush them (even in this recession, however the 10k having an overlay wouldn't be that surprizing, i think stars could do better tho). Please have better planning for the next one, and btw the leaderboards is a great idea for the series, encourages players to play every event and adds alot of dead money.

how about running a bunch of $109 turbo satties to the $1k ME on saturday? regular turbo not hyper turbo plzplzplzplzplz

AND GUARANTEE LIKE 10 SEATS!!!!!!!!!!!

Please please please rethink the whole satellite structure!! Hyper sats are crap shoots and should only be used in the few hours before the tournament begins!!

I really like the deep structures but, if your going to make the structures that deep (+++), then make most events 2 days. I saw the 5k 6max event was incredibly deepstacked and went on for almost 20 hours....how about a day 2 rather than utter brain breeze come the FT? Not that I was there but ya know..

No sat for SCOOP 20 FLHE L 55.00?? Seems there is for nearly everything. Just checking.

rebuy hyper turbos are the greatest thing ever. pls dont take them away. hyperturbos without rebuys however are kinda meh.

+ infinite

Just popping in to say that the earlier starts at 14:30 for whatever reason are much appreciated. 16:30 is a bit too late for europeans who aren't MTTers who already have some fked up sleeping schedule.

The hyperturbos are also awesome.

Well I guess there will be no satellites for the high roller HU tourneys. What I don't understand is why the high roller tourneys have the same exact structure as the previous HU tourney. If this event is supposed to be exclusive to people who can afford to buyin directly and has a much higher buyin then those who do buyin should get a better structure to play with. It makes no sense that a 1575 and a 25k have the same structure. Blinds should be starting at 10/20, yes it would take forever, but variance would be reduced. I would think in a tournament with no sattys Stars is looking for more of a true champion and a better structure would go a long way in doing so.

forgive me if this has been asked and answered before, but why aren't today's M and H events starting simultaneously?

they could find a way to credit ur acct the $15 when u use the ticket.

Structure for the cubeds today seems good. Wish antes would start a little earlier but still very happy with it

structure is good, events are good, times + dates are excellent... PAYOUTS ARE SO F'ING BAD LIKE C'MON

...........................

thank you for all the posts saying PAYOUTS ARE SO BAD YOU SUCK with absolutely 0 comments or suggestions on how to improve them, i'm sure stars appreciates them and they are a huge help.


anyways, why does the 10k have the same structure as the 3k? seems kinda odd since wcoop sundays had all different starting stacks according to buyin, maybe make the 10k 15000 chips to start.

If this goes off again, they need to completely scrap the 3 tier system and go with a 2 tier system instead, with selected events having high roller versions.

Can you guys just let Kessler make the structures next time, since he is always right

Why?

I love the three tier system... It allows the average Pokerstar player (like me) to participate. I can play within my meager bankroll.

I really hate to go all Chainsaw on you here, but paying $5000 and starting a PLO tournament with 125bbs is just absurd. I'm gonna play anyway, but I just don't understand it.
