+1. Is it time to restart the late-registration discussion again?

Most important discussion imo about Omaha / Omaha Hi-Lo MTT in general should be in general to double current tournament offering.

please pause tourneys if connection is dead

U have to talk about that 10% rake at timed torneys, how a 15mins tournament can charge the same as a 10h tournament? U cant just ignore that

haha, yes you can

It is good for the poker ecology

lol about the talk of time tournaments when those **** btc charge 11% for a 5minute hyper @ every level. It's like the evil twin brother of a time tourney, surely we should discuss the better one of the siblings. But hey, it's a start.

Time tourney % in rake based on time. 30m takes 3%.
BTC down to 1-2% rake tops.

Get your guarantees straight on Sunday, please. They are off by miles. Could definitely be worth it to increase guaranteeds during TCOOP, but let me just give an example of the majors from this Sunday:
Kickoff, 100k grt - smashed by 46% to 146k.
Warmup, 300k grt - smashed by 31% to 394k.
Big 109, 125k grt - smashed by 41% to 177k.
Super-sized Sunday, 350k grt - smashed by 38% to 485k.
Sunday Grand, 200k grt - smashed by more than 50% to 302k.
Sunday Grand PLO, 75k grt - smashed by more than 100% (!) to 163k.
Supersonic, 175k grt - smashed by 32% to 230k.

There's lots more. You can't possibly tell me data tells you to be that conservative. Every MTT where the guaranteed is crushed by more than 30% can easily be increased to try and grow the tournament slowly. Really hope this will be looked into, especially now during TCOOP, because some of those Sunday MTT's can be massive during TCOOP.

you seem new

+1 Title change

Some of the higher buy-in MTT guarantees fluctuate and are adjusted according to what live events are running at any particular time during the year. Eg: some guarantees we're recently lowered due to a large number of players being in the Bahama's for the Pokerstars Championship.

Pokerstars are always more conservative during these times, due to a drop in player numbers and wanting to prevent overlays.

Hey everyone,

I'm back in the office! For the next few days, I'll be working on guarantees. It looks like 2017 is off to a strong start and with TCOOP starting today, traffic will be even higher for the next ten days. Since I want to increase guarantees to the highest sustainable level, I'll be redeploying tournaments that are already in the client. This will start with the majors, then the red tournaments, and so on. Many of them will have increased guarantees starting immediately, while some others will start on Monday.

Increased so far:

Wednesday

• $11 Battle Royale [Early Edition]: $25K -> $30K
• $215 Battle Royale: $175K -> $250K
• Omania High Roller [PLO]: $35K -> $45K
• $22 Battle Royale: $85K -> $100K
• $109 Battle Royale [Late Edition]: $60K -> $65K
• $11 Battle Royale [Late Edition]: $20K -> $25K

Thursday

• $215 Thursday Thrill [Early Edition]: $50K -> $60K
• $22 Thursday Thrill [Early Edition]: $30K -> $40K
• $1,050 Thursday Thrill: $350K -> $450K
• Omania High Roller [5-Card PLO]: $20K -> $30K
• $109 Thursday Thrill: $150K -> $175K
• $320 Thursday Thrill [Late Edition]: $85K -> $100K
• $33 Thursday Thrill [Late Edition]: $35K -> $40K

Once this task is complete, I'll be planning the next changes to the weekly schedule. I have no immediate plans in terms of prioritization, but I'll be looking for something to bridge the gap between TCOOP and the Sunday Million anniversary (date not finalized), so it is likely to be NLHE-based.

Lastly, I'll respond to some individual posts here as soon as possible. I just wanted to stop in and let you know that guarantees are time-sensitive and a top priority at the moment.

A nice 11-109 series would bridge the gap nicely. But I'm sure you knew that was coming

You truly went out of your way to adjust guarantees on your regular schedule around TCOOP. Just an example of how good of a job you are doing would be the Big 44 with a 25k gtd prizepool. It reached only over 50k, so very nice decision not to touch that one. We wouldn't want a 70k prizepool in that, so thank you. Probably a lot more like this to come.

If only laziness was a positive characteristic to add to one's cv :daydreaming:

#just do it

#Mid-stakes Madness

the 100% PSKO is a ****ing incredible thing please take away the horrible 25/75 saturday special bountys and put them at 100% everyones instantly ITM and all the want is that BOOTY! its incredible make saturdays great again

scoop M type series also 11-215

If you ever decide to have a KO week in the future, pls don't forget to add 75% and 100% total KO tourneys in the schedule and make them unlimited re-entry.

LOL what a horrible comp 8k runners and 19th place got zero- 2nd got 4k

phase day 1s are way too short

Those 100% psko seem terrible so can be sure to see them rolled out in February some time

When I want to open the lobby from that 100% PSKO the software crashes, again and again. I just wanna LOL at the 'payouts'. Anyone else having this problem?

It is fine for me. I am looking at it right now. The person that finished 19th has $75 bounty so I assume he lost a buyin for 19th.
