As a low-mid stake grinder myself, I absolutely love to try to satellite into a 215-320$ "special" tournament that is guaranteed to be not only a lot of fun, but also to be a massive field with many other shot takers and recreational players. That to me is what really makes a tournament series special.

Im sure this is the way a very large % of low/mid stakes players feel. They can play thousand player $27 tournies and $75 tournies every single day. When that special series comes along that only runs 3X per year they want to try and satellite into or take a shot at some big events, not just play the same buyins they play everyday. I also completely agree with everything Raidalot said.

The point of this thread was to gain feedback from players. 90% of this thread has just been every1 saying there needs to be bigger buyins and that its just not special as it is. Would be pretty disappointing/kinda defeat the purpose of this thread if nothing gets changed. This series has the potential to be on the same level as wcoop/scoop, but as it is its not even remotely close to either of those.

tcoop was not designed or planned to be anywhere near the level of scoop or wcoop, nor should it be, those tourneys are prestigious as much for their structures as for anything else.

tcoop is a throwaway series stars created because we asked for it and said it would be fun (it was and will be again).

& i don't wanna derail this thread but for people to be asking for more big turbos of any kind when we are maybe 12 months away from the entire field losing in 215 turbos is pretty bizarre, our pressing pokerstars turbo related issues should not be in the vein of pushing for more of them.

It may be "throwaway" but Bryan (to his credit) asked for 2+2's feedback to improve the schedule so we gave it.

Good to see mixed schedule with lot of different games.

Although NL 2-7 Single Draw would have been nice too. This only runs once a year in WCOOP? (No SCOOP, TCOOP or MicroMillions events for this game).

Comparing the daily 200 turbos to 200 turbos with an extremely large, soft field during a special series like this, doesnt make any sense. And if you do think the daily 200 turbos are so tough, then this is a great reason to have more of them during tcoop since its the only time we can play big buyin turbos that are very soft. And this is definitely not a throwaway series. They would never attach COOP to it if it was meant to be that. The fact that they did put those 4 letters on it means it needs to be much bigger and better or they might as well call it something other than TCOOP since COOPs are supposed to be prestigious. Im obv not suggesting that at all since that would make the series much worse, but im just saying this weak schedule kinda gives COOP a bad name and could be so much better since every1 loves turbos.

to be fair, it's only TCOOPs second year, so it's not exactly like they can get a perfect schedule that suits everyone second time around

Also, please keep the structures for the limit games the same as WCOOP. 50bbs to start is absolutely a turbo structure for limit. It was atrocious for WCOOP, but would be perfect for TCOOP.

And then please overhaul the structures for SCOOP/WCOOP in 2013 as 50bbs to start is completely absurd for flagship series.

So, so true! I understand the whole Turbo concept but the limit games are literally a crap shoot (it's sort of fun but ridiculous at the same time) and there is no play involved after a couple of levels in TCOOP.

Nothing wrong with it being turbo but not super duper hyper dyper turbo thanks to the structure.
