^ Well some people can play only on licensed sites and/or dont like the software of the competition, so we have to play on PS

And you have to realize that the non stop complaining doesnt help.
If you dont like the big11 DONT PLAY IT. That is the ONLY thing that will lead to change.
At some point it will regulate itself. Until then stop crying about it over and over again. im sure luke is well aware of whats going on and how bad it has become.
Im happy he is still asking for feedback and is at least considering it sometimes.
it could be even worse

How exactly can Luke relay feedback if we don't make it very clear where we all stand?

Here's a random Wcoop high stakes I took:

Pays 11.8% with 18% for 1st 4% for 5th, 1.75% for 10th and 2.2x cash for the min casher

Here's a random Big I took from today

Pays 17.6% with 13% for 1st 2.25% for 5th, .3% for 10th and 1.66x cash for the min casher

It is VERY clear what they are trying to do, flatten the pay structures, so bad players can enjoy a higher rate of success and play longer.

IF these changes were so good, why are they not implementing them in the highest stakes??????????????? Surely these high stakes would love these changes right????????????? Lol.

Keep in mind that they temporarily even changed it back, so it goes to show you the fact that they're second guessing themselves on this as well.

This is allready discussed,nobody likes this payouts .They (luke) knows that ,he didnt make changes because they dont care about their costumers at all ,micro players wouldnt notice if they are recs since these payouts are mostly under 22$ tournaments ,if they make these changes to high stakes there will be overlays and after that they will die im sure of that .

What u expect? That if 100 + people complain in this thread stars will make better changes. Luke takes orders from his bosses. This isn't a normal situation. POkerstars will continue to make bad decisions that hurt players unless someone takes them on and overthrows the bosses there and puts someone in charge that is going to do the right thing. If anything poker players should be lobbying behind some company/individaul with money & power that could actually do this.

I almost guarantee that anything major like payouts/rake/ etc will continue to get worse. Minor things (in the grand scheme) such as whether WCOOP is 2 or 3 weeks, satellites, etc might get fixed.

They basically rule by a weird "military law" anyway as almost impossible to take them on legally. Only way to is overthrow the bosses.

Anyone else having weird things happen on stars rn?

I was playing the Triple Threat open the btn with ~35k, BB shoves ~26k, I call and lose.

So I have ~9k and suddenly the table theme changes to the "final table theme" and I have $383,756.38 in bounties but the table basically froze (rest of the client is working without a problem) but in the lobby I stand as eliminated.

What happened to the Sunday Edtions?

There are only two left: $27 tpko 6max and $44 pko, both only 15k gtd

$22 pko, 16 pko ds, 109k pko, 33 tpko 6max, 27 ds and a few more i think im forgetting used to have Sunday Editions.

Will these return the coming weeks? Maybe you left them out cuz its first sunday after WCOOP.

Quick, cash out..

Millennials don't get it, they think somebody gives a fook about their internet tantrums.

Kinda hilarious anybody would write this when internet tantrums are incredibly effective in the modern era.

Besides, millennials aren't the ones making these changes or the ones that allowed the poker industry to get to it's current state, so if you're going to do the generation castigation, probably check out the previous ones that run the poker industry and the ones that allowed it to get to where it is today (disrepair).

False.
Irrelevant.

LUKE ,please see and think about that to make hyper satelites for sunday supersonic and bounty builders start 10-20 min earlier since when u win the ticket u are allready in the sonic with only 20-25 bb and in bounty builders is very importnat to go in in the first 20-30 mins of play ....please think about it .Also i see previous post saying about sunday editions,i also wonder where are they ,now the guaranties and field of this tournaments which nomore have black colour is 30-40% less ,make them again black so more people see them,join and mby make satelites for them only on sundays to boost them even more(put more guarantie)

since you will add a new major, is it going to be a weekly or dailly major?
are you now ready to add a dailly stack instead of running it just on sundays?
also a another bb109/82 @ 1430 cet and 2nd b55 @2am would be very much appreciated.
for 3 weeks of wcoop.

stars.fr/es stopped using that god awful 1st pays 2x 2nd payout structure , will stars.eu/com switch back as well ?

Bounty builder series are coming as i proposed ,veryu good i see the freerolls in the lobby ,but the problem is that nobody annonce them until is too late.For example i have planned vacantion in Turkey and i wouldnt be able to play the last 4-5 days....wait for schedule.Good decision,bad call...

Good to see the Daily $16.50 Pacific Rim Special taking off. Got over 900 players last night and will soon get over 1000. Luke never seemed confident about this timezone but I was always confident there were enough asian/russian/oceania players to make it work. Hopefully we can see an event or two in series events in this slot in the future.

wtf happend to the fast friday tournaments they arent zoom anymore my favourite tourneys

Yeah they got canceled a lot in the last weeks, so i think its a good step to change the format. Its also hard to play zoom and a lot of other tables at the same time.

hey,

+1 for 3 weeks of coops

bounty builder series looks decent, please add some 9max turbo STT sats (antes from start!) to the daily 215 and 530 events, or if not please just keep one for the 530 main

also think your sat system should be changed, right now if someone wins a seat they have to play from the start, instead of that you should have a must-play ticket system like on party because right now a lot of low stakes players and/or recs get crushed 250bb deep when they sat into H events. For players that care about their ev in the target event, this also makes it less desirable to play sats

thanks

Bounty Builder Series looks pretty awsome exactly what most of us want,a lot of 11-55$ tournys...

still not. and i still skipping these bigs hots most of the times because of this.
i did notice too stars.es switched back from this payouts and i play the big 10 there again. hope .EU will do this too.

any comment on this Luke? why .ES changed these payouts and .EU will follow?

changed back again as of today to the crappier payouts in most tourneys

tourneys affected : big 20e , any superstack , 20e 6 max , some early hots

wow wtf

thanks for the heads up i will skip those. but big10 seems like is not changed back. at least for now..... sigh.

makes zero sense to give out PLOmaha event tickets in a NLHE holdem tournament for top 4 places as a promotion. but you did it. wp!

It's pretty annoying when the satellite lobby keeps popping up when you lose a satellite, but it's (I guess) kinda understandable. But when the satellite lobby pops up when you bust a tournament you can't even re-enter, it feels like the ultimate troll. Please sort this out!
