What time and what tournament type is missing that you want more of. Please be more specific.



I can totally understand why other guys who helped don't want to talk about it publically.
Lets begin: 2.20+r (there was 4 of them now none) reg speed from 3$ buy in to 22$, no 5.5 2/1r 1 add on, 8 1r1a, 13,5 ko, 3.30+r, 22 pko 6 max from reg speed to turbo, 8.80 6 max turbo and the list can continue.... all the bigs are turbo (5k stak its a great ideea, the ante from the start its ok but with the old structure not with this crap). Same story for hots..4 min blind with ante)))))))))))))))))))

I really loved the nightly 162 and wednesday 320. I Know u guys have some money circulation issues. But it is maybe possible to do a nightly 109+`regular? This bounty builders have so much variance (u can bust out very early and then u have no really highstakes Special) and it was always a fun pleasure to play that nightly 162. Also u had never problems with overlay or something. So my suggestion is that u adding one highstakes normal tourney (for all australian brazilian People ). Guess the best tourney is maybe a 109 at 21.30 pm Et and at wednesday a 250 tournament. Best regards and thanks in an advance for reading

11$ - 33$ from 21.30-00.00 CET is absolutely rubbish, especially the turbo section which was working really good from 22.30 - 00.00.
a lot of .eu players played them while not regging reg-speeds so late to wrap up the session and now there is a big hole of nothingness.

before rake changes there was in said time slot:
(1/9 Prog. S. KO)

11$ Reg (21.30)
3.30$+R 2x Turbo
27$ Turbo KO
16.50$ Turbo
7.50$ Turbo
27$ KO Turbo
11$ Prog. S. KO. Turbo
11$ Turbo
Hot 7.50$

now there is:
(2/4 Prog. S. KO)

33$ 6max Turbo Prog. S. KO
Hot 22$
22$ 6max Turbo Prog. S. KO
Hot 7.50$
and a ridic. low 8k gtd. 33$ Turbo, lets see how that turns out

1R1A is dead as a format, but maybe there is space for another smaller rebuy. I agree there needs to be more volume in the $5-$15 range. The structure for the HOTs is very similar speed, you need to consider the added levels and starting stack.

The hope is that the rotating Late Edition that includes the $320 Super Tuesday among other formats would fill in for the loss of the Nightly 162/Wed320. There also was the added 162BB. What time/What format do you suggest?

Few changes I'd like to see:

Bigs structure - 8 mins is too fast.
Rebuys - 2 and 3r were a big part of my schedule, would be good to see those back.
Normal freeze outs - More in the $5-10 range pls

Hey Amaya.

You made mistake regarding the monday structures on those new juicy daily specials. The Sunday million structure is actually having around 30-40 BB avg stack. The reason: it's six max and the nature of the format is deeper play. Could you please make it 10 minutes?

Luke, "new mtt schedule quest" has a task called Omania. it is a game many players such as me do not know and do not play. can you have separate challenge for NLHE and Omania? or remove that item? or create a micro stake Omania game for that challenge? thanks a lot.

One question, I don't really see a difference in the pay out structure, which has been extensively discussed before the focus on the schedule itself. Did it start ? Right now looking at the big 109 (it IS fast) which I am playing, I don't really see a difference in the pay out structure. Still around 15% paid (tiny more here, maybe 16% whereas it was sometimes in the 13% before) and the minimum pay out for the first ones itm is only 1.7x the buy-in... Finished last on FT (9th) vs. 1st still means around 11x more...

Any thoughts ? Has it changed ? If it has it is quite thin, in aforementioned tournament at least.

This just isn't true at all

Im happy for you that you are good enough at poker to play 10/20 and 25/50 cash games. Everyone below that level wouldn't be doing themselves a favour quitting poker btw.

Some of the comments are out of line calling out luke's integrity. I have zero doubt he put 100% into this schedule and it is a work in progress. Lets at least give him a week or 2 to change some structures around as they clearly need changing regardless of who is asking skill wise.

The actual schedule ignoring the structures seems like a big improvement to me.

Maybe its possible to do the 162BB a bit earlier (60mins maybe). And then add a normal tourney like a big to fill the hole in the night (old time schedule was perfect). There is a big 16.50 a hot 16.50a big 27 a hot 27 a 44 BB and a 22BB). But no tounry higher then 55+ after 3 am CET. So i guess it would be perfect to add some regular tourneys with small guarantees. Like a Nightly 162 (yeah why not) at the old time. Even maybe a bit later. Maybe u have to ask the brazilian and other guys which time they would love to have a tourney.

"There also was the added 162BB"
As i mentioned not everybody wants to play BBs all the time (higher variance --> getting bustet earlier --> frustrating --> so 1 normal would fix that Problem. Else i agree with a poster from an earlier post that there were missing some low stakes Turbos.
Best Regards

I'm sort of a casual player and I have to say I love the new structure for the bigs. The old ones were boring and slow as **** but that's just me I guess judging by this thread. I guess people are correct in saying that if I find the old bigs slow there were plenty of turbos for me already but still I'm certain ur average casual player(funplayer) prefers slightly faster structures overall. I realize the edge for regs is slightly lower in the newer structure but hey at least u can cram a couple more into ur schedule with the faster structure.

I don't like the structure of the new "splash" rebuys though. The 3x turbo rebuys was already a crapshoot but now that the addon is like 3(?) big blinds instead of 10 gets kinda silly.

As far as the timebombs are concerned I realize they're profitable for pokerstars and that they keep the fish from going broke too quick but does any1 actually enjoy playing them? Even the lower stakes ones have less than 100 players. This would've been a good time to get rid of them.

Played a bunch of BBs and Bigs, and honestly have not found the structure to be too bad, have made it down to final 100 in a few games. Not sure how FT structures are.

I for one have liked the structure so far, have room for play early. Will revew again.

Thanks Luke, schedule is better than it appears!
