cant help noticing nearly all the guarantees have been lowered in the MTTs , i guess this is because the world series is going on , but even so how many micro/low/mid stakes grinders are going to be at the WSOP , seems we are being punished while a tiny percentage of players are in vegas playing for fortunes .

cant believe a multi billion dollar industry cannot honor there original guarantees so the average grinder still gets good value while all the big boys play for life changing money at WSOP

stars are known for being extremely cautious with their guarantees, they are almost always broken at least 2x anyway. If you want good overlays, play on ftp, almost every bigger tournament there has overlays.

During the upcoming competition in Brazil, the total number of players on the site will drop significantly, and this has an impact on the guaranteed amounts which are sustainable during this period.

By mid-July, the big event in South America will be over, and we'll get things back to a much more normal level for the summertime.

We'll also continue to add things along the way, including addressing some items which were covered in the most recent player meetings. I'm very much looking forward to that time, to be providing some new tournaments and updates to existing tournaments which I expect will be very popular. I would really like to give details now, but I can't do that, unfortunately.

The number of players who are at the WSOP right now is tiny compared to the number of players who have better things to do than playing poker right now, aka watching the world cup and enjoying summer.

Summertime is always a lull for online. Despite the lower gtds, probably less sharks playing at PokerStars than normal.
