Your way off, tonnes of new games and formats for 33$ and down. A lot of 6-max NL, PLO and PLO8s etc.

Overall I don't think I'm going to play, until I see how structures develop. Reconsider bigs structure at later stages, also don't know how the BBs play now, but they used to have the perfect structure and I feel they're also not that attractive now

sorry, but I don't play any of that. putting a lot of high variance mtts in my schedule is far from exciting

BTW, do you consider Ante Up as alive format? While there are zero 1R1A, there's like 4 Ante Ups in the new low stakes schedule and it seems they won't run since there's no demand for them at all. But Stars get rid of 1R1A and put 4 Ante Up. Well...

If the feedback were positive Luke would've been responding in this thread but as per usual Stars hides from the criticism.

hypers seem to be all 6max. Luke, if you don't want to change the 6max, can you add some full ring hypers?

Hey Luke,

Could you, please, guess, who said this:

The ability to lengthen the excitement of going deep in a tournament in a dynamic way has a lot of potential.
And this:

And could you, please, comment on this guy's amazing ideas?

Thanks in advance.

the big 33 turbo satellite with 5 seats guaranteed which starts at 23.16 MEZ is not 3.30 buy-in as it's written in the lobby, it's actually 5.5$ buy-in sat..

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!
nice sample size. u obviously made final 100 in all your games because of the new structures.

Basically this.

The schedule looks ridiculous for the low stakes players. Moved my money to Party, Unibet, ACR .

I haven't logged into my 2+2 account in a year but I just had to get in on this conversation because every opinion should be heard in this discussion.

I play 33 and under for the most part. Evenings and weekends. I logged on today to start my evening session and see most of my regular schedule is now gone (11+R, 11FO, 3R, 5R, 13.50KO, 8FO), and replaced by massive field reds. The addition of the Bounty 33 is great, besides that, this schedule is completely ****ed, excuse my French. I've got 3 tables going right now and I'm looking through the lobby and there is nothing worth registering for.

On top of that, reducing reg speeds to 8 minute levels is absurd. Why are we making every tournament a turbo now? I guess the goal here is to tilt all the regs and reduce their edge, if so, well done Stars.

/rant, sorry but this is upsetting.

Here's how things could be improved:

- Make regs 10 min levels again, nobody wants to play bingo every single tournament, that's what turbos/hypers are for, and there's already plenty of those
- Bring back some of the smaller field reg speeds for 33 and under, their absence will result in a massive variance fest for everyone playing low stakes, which is not good for those precious recreational players either
- I would be okay with Big 8.80 and under remaining in the current format, nobody wants to play the Big 5.50 for 16 hours, this might actually help in that regard. Everything $11+ should be reverted to the old structure

the statement is based on the fact that they were extremely profitable for the regs that played them. probably the best value mtts. Amaya wasnt having that.

love the new schedule, agree with all the negative feedback on the structures

and whilst i love that you're willing to adapt them, going from 8min to 8-9 variable levels in mid bigs doesn't mean a thing, that minute will be taken in by some clown who tanks down with J2s on the button or sth

Spoiler:
plot twist: i am the clown

Wow this is upsetting. It sounds like the new schedule is OK but the feedback is almost 100% negative (and very intensely negative) regarding the unnecessary structure changes.

Randomly deciding to screw with all the major tournaments is super annoying for people who travel to play MTTs on Pokerstars. I leave for an international trip tomorrow and was hoping to play this whole week, but it sounds like things aren't going to get fixed for at least a couple weeks if at all. I don't mind playing turbos, but if every "Big" tournament is now playing like a turbo it's problem.

As has been mentioned already, sites like Partypoker, 888, Unibet, and Winning/ACR seem to be actively engaging with customers to improve their offerings and appeal to high-volume players as well as casual players. IMO the main problem with Party and 888 has always been the terrible software, but I'm willing to deal with bad software in order to play good tournaments. I hope these sites realize how profoundly Pokerstars is screwing up right now; this is a huge chance for them to attract players who are tired of Stars ****ing with us.
