Ahhh so the experience isn't as meaningful as it could be? Solution seems easy: cut the amounts won by 50%! Somehow that will make the experience more meaningful?

Just take my 7 bucks a week rakeback and put it towards "reaching the highest guaranteeds ever". What's ironic is that the guarantees across the board seem to be at an all time low.

It's more meaningful in the same way that when you make the Sunday Million FT now you have to get 1st to make as much money as 3rd paid 2 years ago

Rippity Roo stars. I still remember the glory days of the bad americans and the terrible spanish nits playing mtts on stars. Anytime I got to the final table there was always some spanish nit with 2BB trying to fold their way onto it. Good times.

"At least 90 players will win 4 buy-ins" Seems like Stars is afraid that SM will drop below 10k players soon.

$1,000 is over nine buy-ins though.

True, my mistake. But it still looks pretty desperately to advertise it in that way.

I think it is most likely going to drop below 10k after first week hype...and they will struggle to reach 1M gtd prizepool. Meanwhile PP countinues to overtake most of the new and old players base. PS simply fckd up everything in the most hilarious way...couldnt even imagine few years back they would loose their huge monopol.

I don't see how they manage to keep the 1M GTD during the summer.

I'm going to remind again that multientries were wild for full tilt and kept things going for a few months :P until they didn't...

Why are there absolutely no 6max Sunday majors?

And I'm sure you've gotten more than enough [justified] hate about the chests, so my only suggestion is this: Since you're never bringing back the VIP program (thanks for that by the way) and are dead-set on keeping this awful chest system, can you create a way where we can open all our chests at once. Sitting there opening all of those chests, (and I'm one of MANY players who frequently has 100+ chests to open) is mind-numbingly ridiculous. Create an "open all" option and just show us the combined 'rewards' (loose term here) so that the entire process of opening many chests takes 10 seconds maximum instead of 10+ minutes.

It can be done but with huge marketing spend that could go in other areas. The problem for Stars is the stock price is way down from its peak and they are running dangerously low on innovative ways (I hope) on taking from consumers.

Why did you get rid of the $11 phase tourni? Seems like an awful decision.

That's their current business model.

No communication at all with regulars who pay 1k-5k rake a month is the biggest insult of it all.

Share price lost ~60% of it's value in 6 months, are we in takeover territory yet ?

Good to have more capped games tbh, should have made them 8 max though. Full ring is yesterday's format.

not trying to be the devils advocate here and id also like it a lot if lukes was still around however i dont rly see why mttc should be entitled to a stars rep discussing the companies decisions on here. i mean you are always welcome to write them emails i guess.

I'm pretty much using stars as my "rec" site now. When I feel like losing money I fire up some mtts.

I'll give you guys a bit of props for bumping up the Sat HU to 22k, should be more, but it's a nice start.

Again, I'll reiterate the 215 is DONE, it didn't even clear 15k.

Make it 109 or better yet 82 and bump it up and I guarantee you it'll run much better.

Why would high stakes players want such a time consuming tournament like a HU zoom? Makes no sense for it at it's current price tag. Bring it down and I guarantee you it'll do better, the jump is just too much going from $22 to $215 and although equivalent $2 to $22, it's not the same in money available to players as everyone has $22, not everyone has $215.

Really? Is this supposed to be some sort of joke?

Lets look at the facts....Stars is scum. R Kelly got accused by a few liars of some BS so they can profit. You're really going to associate the two? Get a life....leave the BS for elsewhere, not 2p2.
