Dear all,

I would like to ask you, what is Stars doing? This new structure of Sit&Go tournaments is simply unreal joke. 5 minutes levels? You are flipping all the time. Like Push or Fold type of tournaments. No space on post flop play. Just all ins. Best Sit&Go structure was 2,5 USD 180 players, 3,5 USD 180 players and 4,5 USD. Now - you have in this structure 5-10 bigs maximum. It is just waisting of the money. No poker, just push fold action.
Pity that in my country only this site exists.

Regards
Rastislav

The two first tourneys you mentioned were turbos, so them having stacks become shallow is par for the course. The 3.3 rebuy did feature more postflop play in the beginning though whereas stacks tend to be a bit deeper on PKOs.

I have posted my thoughts in this thread:

I urge you to email Stars and ask them to reconsider the changes they have made.

Thanks bro,

But previous 2,5 USD and 4,5 USD were no turbos. Place for post flop play.
3,5 USD was turbo, but with 8 or 10 minutes level. And was here best ever payout structure. 1st place +-450 USD

This type of new tournaments - it is no poker, just pushing action and praying for luck.

Majority of tournaments with more than 5 minutes levels - just 9 players. Example 7 USD tournament and 9 players, prizepool 57,33 USD. On rake more than 5 USD and paid just 3 places. Really? What value you have got from this type of tournament? None, zero.

Will quite to play on this site, because such tournaments has nothing to do with poker.

I really don't get it. Don't they see that PKOs are far more popular and they can run more of them?
