So I thought I'd give PokerStars another go, trying the Red Spade Open, but now the preferred seating (and auto-centre) won't work so I'm losing time across all my tables as I have to keep finding myself *edit* And then I realised too late that my HUD was out of sync, leading to a couple of strange plays...
It's like they don't even want us to play on their site

Meanwhile reselected my preferred seats and all was good again.
No need to blow this out of proportion. just a small bug.

Hey everyone,
Nothing specific in the way of announcements, but it has been too long since my last multi-quote, so here goes.
Any post-mortem feedback on this? Day 1 ended with a reasonable number of players, and Day 2 lasted for six hours. If I had to guess, most people would prefer large-field promotional tournaments to run over multiple days.
I agree with the assessment that player interest simply declined over time as they became familiar with it. I don't think it is a bad tournament, but some change is required. I'd like to take further feedback on this with the caveat that no changes will occur this month. In the meantime, enjoy the overlay.
Unfortunately, we can't fix this without development, which needs to be spec'd, prioritized, and so on before being implemented, so I prefer changing the tournaments in line with our current capabilities. We've change them so that Zoom dealing ends with nine players - has this helped?
I like your idea, but with the events we have on the horizon, there isn't room to properly introduce a new Major in the short term. Give me a bit of time with this one.
Players were able to win more than one seat. Just so you all know where I stand on this, we'll continue to test the functionality to allow players to win only one seat via satellites. It was not used for High Rollers because we were unsure how many players would be participating, and wanted to ensure that satellites would start.
Unfortunately we don't have the functionality to do Progressive KO Phase or Time tournaments. I'm not sure how big the audience for this would be, but maybe some others can chime in with an opinion.
We took a look at this, and participation has dwindled every week since it was introduced. Perhaps High Rollers hurt it and it will bounce back this weekend. We'll keep an eye on it.
Satellite offerings are purely based on demand. When it comes to tournaments like the Sunday Million or Sunday Storm, enough players are interested in playing the events on a weekly basis to drive satellite play all week long. However, if we wanted to run satellites to a weekend tournament (such as the Sunday High Roller) on a Monday, there is a high likelihood of the satellite cancelling. There is obviously a very wide range of possibilities in between those two examples, and we're constantly altering our satellite offerings to meet changes in demand. The overarching point here is that demand shapes the offering, not the other way around.
FML.
As discussed earlier in this thread, we'll take a look at the Biggers once they've run for a period of time.
Glad you like the Daily Marathon.
Thanks for pointing this out. We've reduced late registration in the $109 and $215 Monday 6-Max tournaments by 15 minutes.
December 25th - January 7th.
Thanks for continuing to ask me.
Thanks for the feedback. Just as an FYI, if you played a High Rollers event and have English as your primary language, you will have received an email from me yesterday asking for feedback. Don't hesitate to let me know what changes you'd make for next time!
What you saw was our automated deal tool, which is currently being tested in the Bigs. It offers two options: even chop or ICM. Most deals on PokerStars are even chops, and we prefer ICM as the fairest option for other deals.
We plan on rolling this out to many tournaments, but not all. Tournaments like the Sunday Million, Storm, and *COOPs will likely use the old deal options.
Check your email and provide feedback!
Thanks for the reminder. Starting this coming Monday, we've added:
Unfortunately, there's no MicroMillions Marathon this year, but if you see the dates I posted above, you'll have something to play during that time.
Late registration was recently reduced in Bigs $82 and below and a handful of other tournaments to combat stalling. I've checked to confirm registration in this tournament closed at 12:00 CET as intended.

I think the 11$ phase just lost it attraction. It was nice new thing, but now players care less about it. I don't know what is the sat situation there, but you should do something for the 0.50-1$ players, so more could play in this.
Imo a 33-55$ phase would be success only in short term and would suffer really fast to reach a good guarantee.
Maybe you could do every month one 22-55$ phase instead the 11$. Like the second sunday every month( I guess thats when people have more money)

I dont know if this is allready discussed but why not try new mix of format which is like this time tournaments but with PKO and not 25 or 45 mi but like 2 hours with 30 mins late reg and not that big starting blinds but still turbo and in the end everyone gets his booty like the winner in BB.So the tourney will be agressive and in the end everyone will be tight so agressive players will win chipies for more $.Also this im sure it was discussed but why not add phase PKO 5.5$ and like 60-75$k grnt or even monty phase like this but with bigger guaranteed taht will bring all the players cuz of the big prizes

also regarding sats:
Since the sats leads you now directly to the specific Event, why still only sats that starts 2 hours before the main Sat (esp. for the Live Qualifiers)
Would like to play on the week some sats for a Live Qualifier or now highroller MTT fe that runs on Sunday. Not to have filling up my normal schedule with a lots of sats
Even i think i would play more of them.

Random but funny how bad Stars is. They had one remaining sat to the high roller event 1 but some guy had bad internet and kept getting disconnected. The sat ended 3 mins too late so Stars had to fork up five 2k tourney tickets as registration had ended, and were $116k short of the guarantee. Ooops!
Glad you like the Daily Marathon.

IMO you need more and better sats for the high rollers ME, like:
- a $215 mega sat
- $215 deep turbo sats (you only have deep-hyper)
- make the deadline sat a deep turbo
- make the last chance a deep turbo
This tournaments has such a long late reg, that the formats of last minute sats you've set up don't really make sense to me.

I've just saw a russian guy final tabling Big $4.40 on his Twitch stream. In 3-max they have agreed to chop. Then, have all three clicked Deal checkbox, another window for deal making appears (like it used to be at the good old FTP).
The interesting thing was, the guy wants to negotiate and — surprise! — cannot access to the chat. Chat window was somehow inactive for him, not allowing to put a mouse pointer to start typing.
He gets pretty nervous with this turn of event and accidently approved a deal with ICM numbers suggested by PS. So we'll never know if there's no the option to actually discuss a deal since now or he just can't find and access.
Can anyone who recently chop something on PS confirm or dispose?
