Trying to pay 4 spots in 16 mans would increase the buyin quite a bit, and it doesn't actually change the ICM structure at all. I highly doubt they would be more popular if you would implement that change (recs might feel like they have to pay more for the same number of seats).

the offpeak big 11 7.5k bb 11 12k have been getting 10.5k 19k respectively, i suggest you look at the guarantees of all reds/majors and all mtts in general, which i believe is a large part of your job, and a large part of pokerstars.

If you only lower them when there is special things on like olympics and world cup but dont proactively increase them when you can they will all dwindle to nothing eventually.

Also can you bring back the big/hot 8.80

Lastly, can you bring back summer mtt leaderboards or some kind of mtt leaderboards, you have cash promotions all the time, cardhunt etc, you said earlier that the data you had suggested the leaderboards did not increase tournament participation significantly enough to keep them. Well to me the data looks like all your guarantees have dropped since you scrapped them. I know alot of grinders out there would grind for the lb points, and it also gave something for microstakes players to work towards.

Can't you at least test Zoom SNGs/ODs? Only because it's Zoom it doesn't necessarily cannibalize ring games IMO. Why would someone who usually plays ring games suddenly switch to SNGs?

double Bigs, Hots, Bounty builders sometimes in october fo a week? its already boring to grind as wcoop/miniwcoop ended

we are always hungry, work on somthing , winter is also coming

mini warmup pls and just swap structures of double deuce and mini million, to make mini million more appealing for euro recs

Swap starting times of double deuce and minimilly

thisssss

Yes please, very much. But I mentioned this earlier in the thread and Luke simply said "no", but who knows, maybe he changed his mind

and what about the promess that gtds would increase after EPT Barcelona? other then wcoop weeks ofc.. every year its getting reduced on euros, olympics etc and doesnt get an increase outside of special events.. kinda hard to keep your costumers happy this way.. no wonder a lot of MTT regs and some stables are cutting stars from their grind/stakes.

i agree. minis generally starting in advance basically as "warm-ups" for the actual event seems a cool idea but probably in lukes opinion interferes with satellites for the "mains" . still , european recreationals with normal jobs ( biggest market ldo) deserve a slow structured blue major low/midstakes event as well

Great work with the mini marathon! Would also love one littlebit higher buy-in, with better guarantee ($11-$22) with around $30K GTD.

Can you also add a few monsterstack MTTs, like on Stars.FR, with 25K/50K stack or something (re-entry), with 10min levels until ITM, then 12min (or something similar) ?

I think the $16.50 pro ko deepstack is one of the better tournaments in the schedule.Would be nice to see another one start earlier around lunchtime euro time for those who wanna finish their session before midnight.

The offering of low/micro stake turbo tournaments which are not hyper or bubble rush is pretty poor still between the hours of 8pm-midnight uk time.

I agree! My favorite as well! Should be more deep PKO (could also have 6max, 8max version)

Luke,

Is it possible to make the later stages of the Warmup/Sunday Million 20 minute levels? Usually those tournaments turn into luckfests at the end and it would be nice to have some deep play for those who survive that far.

Mini milly runs too late. Just give it the same structure as the big 22. It's a much much better structure deep anyway. And both get roughly the same number of runners right

The increase really would not have to be that big as I think that the reward for getting to round 2 should only be in the interval of 1-2 satellite buy-ins, whereas entry to target equals roughly 7,5 satellite buy-ins. This means that the original satellite buy-in only has to be increased by roughly 13%. These satellites seem to be running very frequently when offered during COOPs, so I think that they are fairly popular when looking at the poker ecosystem as a whole, but I get what you say about them faring less well with recs.

I like the idea of having a knockout week later this year. Yes, as has been pointed out by several, there are plenty of PSKOs in the regular schedule (more than ever before), but the KO Week tournaments were much better structured and had better guarantees compared to their regular schedule counterparts, if I am not mistaken.

plsssss

If you don't agree at least put the mini at 20:30 CET like the minis on weekdays . Double Deuce [turbo] should be after mini Million (maybe at 22:22 CET ).And now you have a free spot for mini Warm up at 18 CET.

Thanks Luke!

If you further remove the 60/120 level the structure would be close to equivalent to the one of the other Omania High Rollers (analogue to 8game structure)

If you compare re-entries per entry it shows that the number for LO8 is still too low (all numbers taken from this week).
0.41 LO8
0.63 PLO8
0.47 PLO
0.57 5cPLO

The play towards end of late reg is quite 'splashy', but this is the nature of all 320s.
With more total entries you might be able to raise the Gtd in the future and hopefully more people join early on.

Respectfully I'd disagree. I think the allure of turning a very small investment into 'life changing money' will always be attractive to gamblers and poker players. You can do this on Sunday with the million/warmup but you should also offer these incentives mid-week online too I think.

The minis are a great implementation into the schedule, there's no denying that, but they will never match the prestige of the actual events.

For what it's worth I think the number of sats to the thrill/ST are good at the moment with a nice balance of turbo/normal speed. Just a few subsats for each satelitte wouldn't go a miss

Deuce and Mini Mil swapping times, is a fantastic idea. Thoughts?

I wish Stars had this inbuilt reminder feature
