There is a difference between a 50 field satellite and a 3 player satellite. It appears you're not sure which one has a feasibly higher ROI. You also posted that you're not sure how to adjust your hand range in an MTT with 80%+ of the field starting. It seems that you have vast holes in your understanding of the game from a business standpoint for either the player or the website.
In general try not to comment on the wallpaper when people are talking about the elephant in the room.

Just to make things simple for you... what's the big difference between a hyper satellite and a spin? Answer is not much except one format has triple the rake.

In the daily challenge pop up that you can click on, what is the point of the new one that has appeared today. "Win 3 hands in a row at showdown for fun". Seriously?

See post #1073

There are a lot of better things that I can do for fun without Stars' help.

they could be less of ****ty ****s

The actual 1st prize is one week all expenses paid at the choice center, 2nd prize is two weeks.

Could you clarify what you mean by this? What's the "choice center"?

We could all chip in if you're interested? You'd actually fit right in.

It's a reference to Negreanau's love [& promotion] of the Las Vegas based "Choice Center Leadership University" which is in the 'self-improvement' market. Choice Center developed their style, recruitment tactics, retention tactics & a lot of their content off the discredited Lifespring model.

Here is DNegs defending the Center against accusations that it's a cult: http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poke...owtopic=146593

I'm not going to link to the Choice Center because [this is just my opinion] I don't trust such enterprises ~ they can represent positive experiences for some people, but also they can be emotionally & financially expensive magnets for the weak-minded, lonely or needy who seek easy one-stop solutions to complex problems... [i.e. especially not recommended for someone wearing the slogan "Finalising my new identity"]

I'm in!

pretty random to make a challenge to accomplish just for fun : ))))



edit: nvm saw stars post on previous page

On another note I would love for more milestone hands miss this promo big time! Also some promos that were around during the month of December were really great (ex win 2 180-man S&G), these were cool challenge as they are hard to complete and provide a nice reward. Other ideas could be: win 50 spin&go's in 24 hours (price would need to be pretty decent ). Ideas like this that include somewhat skill and a high play challenge!

Why merely 50? 100 are quite doable too

Disappointed to see there aren't any promotions running right now. I base how often I play based on the quality and frequency of the promotions. If there aren't any promotions running at a given time then I don't play - simple as that. And I'm sure I'm not the only one, as plenty of rec players are inspired by promotions. When the cash game quests and milestone challenges were running I was playing thousands of hands every day and so many rec players were encouraged to increase volume during these periods. Recently however, I've hardly played at all and games have also got tougher.

Cmon Stars, things were going so well in January and February! Time to redeem yourself!

Come on ducks, stop being so negative! It's all about the ecosystem!

Try Unibet. The people in this thread will love you as you'll never post here again.

with players like you , pokerstars will be in colaps

here a new promotion special build for your bankroll

https://www.pokerstars.eu/en/poker/p...space=%20&_n=1

1 week challenge: win all pocket pair from AA to 22. reward: 1M $ tournament ticket.
3 weeks challenge: win pair to quad. reward: 1M $ tournament ticket.

1 week to win with straight flush = win 1000$ no string attached

even if i already won 3 milestone hands, its quite difficult (you have almost 0 chance) to hit one even if you 24 tabling, and the prize is not that much.

i much prefer a difficult but achievable challenge. this way, if the reward is a tournament ticket, the value of the ticket will be higher.

put all rewards in tournament ticket and let us fight for the big prizes. **** that noobs **** with 300 hands per year who hit the 10 000$ prize in thoses milestones or random prizes challenge ****

btw, someone know if they have increased rake for micro cashgame ?

no they didn't, but from 50nl+ they increased rake from 4.5% to 5% and also adjusted the rake caps (some higher, some lower)

lol this would be way too easy for regs to make an easy $1k at very little cost (especially if 2nl is allowed) so would be too expensive for Stars to run. However I do like your concept of having a straight flush week, but the prize would have to be tweaked. For instance:

"1 week to win with straight flush = win a prize between $20 and $20k"

And the average prize could be around $50.

This would be a great way of encouraging plenty of action and motivating recreational players, so would benefit the games (as well as generating a lot of extra rake for the site). Great idea imo.

My sugegestion is to bring back the deep cash games! It was the only format I used to play so it's so frustrating that I don't have this option any longer.

These games used to be so much fun with plenty of action. I find the standard 100bb games quite boring.

Also, they need to focus more on poker and not on sports betting or spin n goes.

Actually, there's one thing you'd do.

Take all the new rake from the hypers and deploy multiple daily hyper freerolls with the exact money value you take out.

Take all new rake from rebuys and gdt more satellite seats and implement rebuy freerolls w added gtd where rebuys are 10cent and addons are free

lower rake in all big/hots so that eventhough the 1st price is smaller now, the pool will be bigger for the same buy-in.

honestly




If rake is higher, you win less $ per hand.
If the game is tougher, you win less $ per hand.

you get less coins if you don't finish your step, so that's kind of rake increase that hits every stake from SNG to cash, also effective rake has nothing but risen since the last "pricing revise"
