Unless you want to change the lobby and need something to blame for the change?

I have no issue with pushing for more table-starters, Stars will be happy to oblige, I'm sure. I'm also happy to ask for the 2+-handed option. The only problem with that is allowing seat-scripters to continue after a new table has been spawned with just 2-4 seats filled.

I've asked myself which is better: spawning a new table which will (most likely) break after 18 hands if there's no fish or having a zoom-pool which has no jesus-seats and gives everyone the opportunity to play the mark for an equal amount. I admit that I have next to zero experience with table-starters and they seem to be popular here. Maybe I'll add that as an option in the poll

A lot of people who's opinion I respect dislike zoom cause it lowers winrates for regs. I completely understand that perspective and tend to agree on a general level. I just believe a zoom-pool could boost the midstakes ante tables specifically.
I don't understand the concern for ante tables specifically. There isn't an "ante pool" and "regular pool", it's just one pool. Moreover, in the current situation you get plenty of deepstack play at zoom anyway. Pushing things toward deeper play seems a little bit self-serving as well, correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know what Stars are willing to do, but the more the scales tip in favor of Zoom, the quicker the games will die. It's obvious from the thread about winrates and it's obvious from the 25/50+ zoom only games.

so the 2k plo wcoop was even bigger than last year, still there is no plo major on sunday...why is that? a 215 plo 6max tourney would draw a lot of people id imagine
a plo turbo on sunday would be fun too!

In May we created the Sunday 82$ PSKO during the meetings and it's been a success. I know many here don't consider it a "major", but it's def been crucial in breaking ground for future PLO MTTs.

This time around, I'm gonna push for adding a bigger buy-in option, a 215$ re-entry or a 109$ with rebuys are both viable imo. Should we set up a new poll?

GGARJ- nothing against you personally, and I have no idea if its even possible for these meetings to achieve anything, nor do I know if you are a good or bad selection to go.. but IMO probably better if you just admit, nothing was really accomplished, and you hope to do better this time. Claiming an $82 plo mtt as a success in a HSPLO forum makes you look worse, because it makes it look like you legitimately think that was a success, which I think makes you look incompetent

I do legitimately think said tourney has been a success and great for PLO, I never claimed it was a success in relation to the goals we set out with. My intention was to point out that progress towards those goals is being made, I'm sorry if that makes me appear incompetent. I'm well aware the HSPLO faithful remain unhappy with the MTT offering.

As to what was accomplished in the last meetings, noone here is happy with the outcome, myself included. I guess I could mention couple other specific things like capping of the MS HU lobby, but those are unlikely to change anyone's perception.

The most important "yield" were face-to-face discussions on things like seating scripts, game integrity and the VIP-program, which I was able to report to the community and communicate Stars' position on them - as well as my own impressions. You do consider this valuable, I hope? Unfortunately the only way to assess my competence in these situations is the trip report I wrote.

yeah bring up apoll, do whatever needs to be done to push plo mtts
i have no idea how stars creates its tournament schedule but i dont get it why they wouldnt put out a sunday plo major? more rake, more profit for stars?! it cant take that much effort or costs to do it, right?

  • blocking of broadcasts to all final tables of tournaments on the regular schedule
  • a few more fun things that I'm not ready to reveal quite yet...

PS Bryan is the one that dictate the schedule, thats the thread he post in. If you want more (HS) PLO MTTs on the schedule, making a post in the thread can not hurt.

Wonder how much cashgames a good Sunday PLO MTT would generate (6m, ideally with a some sort of rebuy / rentry possibility for max prizepool).

yeah something like 6max 2151R1A would be a good format.

@GGARJ

Could you ask if Stars have any plans for 6o? The games on FTP are dying tbh and could do with the new player pool. Seems strange they haven't implemented it yet.

Cheers

Def not in our interest to split out 4card (and 5c) liquidity for more of these other obscure variants.
