Was sort of thinking the same thing. If they sold the software (user list not included) then it just comes down to how much this sort of software could be duplicated for? From Amayas POV what's the point of not making money if they felt a competitor would spend the same money elsewhere.

Mini rebuy is must. The same trny ran later 11r Sunday edition and gets half the people of Sunday mini rebuy did.
Mini warmup is obv free $ and take
Mini thrill 109$
Mini Tuesday 109$.


People just want to be a part of something and play anything in big colors.

Personally i dont have a problem for Sunday Million to be re-entry event, even though i will only fire one bullet myself. I dont get the problem really, if you fire one bullet that bullet have a cetain amount of set EV regardless if other players fire 2 or 3 bullets.

Its like i sometimes take a gamble bullet in the 22$ cubed sunday edition. I cant afford 60$ (rebuy+addon), but i still want a piece in the tournament. Even though alot of other players take rebuy and/or addon, i only fire one bullet. Yes, i get shorter stack compared to the others and higher variance, but my bullet of 22$ doesent lose its EV because of that. Also it feels pretty sweet when i finish in the money only have put 22$ in the prizepool, knowing that alot of other players have left 62$ in the middle.

Obviously the EV if measured by a pure dollar standpoint is the same.
But who is going to be the players that re-enter this tourney? If it was proportionally bad players and good players in comparison to the original starting field then it makes no difference. The reality is there will be a much higher percentage of good players firing multiple bullets compared to bad players.

Good point wich i hadnt thought of to be honest. From that point of view i can more understand why someone argues against re-entry for the Million.

Luke. Bryan posts a (little) more often then you and I feel like you should be talking to us more. Don't you get a $ bonus if your not overlaying anything and adding tons of things? I just don't see why it's so hard to implement these small (tested ) trnys already. How you could not add mini warm up and rebut after 2nd Sunday they ran is really sad. Just add it and take our money dude please.
Take our money.
It just can't be that hard to add 10 tournaments, it's harder to change them then it is to add I assume.

Like right now i want to play and I'm thinking if want to play Super Tuesday. Instead I'm not moving but if there was a mini Tuesday I wouldn't even think twice because I know it would crush and make day a bit better to point of being worth playing.


FYI, I have no issues w Milly being3x reentry but I really doubt more then 90ish% of players fire a second. But to be fair I will continue to reg until it's over if I bust because I really believe 3 chances in the Milly gives me a better chance because I'm tons better then average player so it's obviously beneficial for regs but I don't think recs particularly care.

Thoughts if this is possible? To run sattys to Sunday Milly pack (3) entries per seat. If you bust w a ticket you are auto renetered. @ point late reg closes anyone left w tickets is converted to T$.
Seems p complicated but those satties if in pink would crush.
Rec mentality would be they can win a pack get ITM of Milly and save a bullet for t$. While making them feel more solid about their start play and not be scared of regs and battle since they already are locked for a rentry they bust.
I'm p high but this seems like a really good idea

So If you guys are killing all the freerolls, when is the Premier Skill League going to stop? And the Big Bang tournament?

Is the logic something like 'Freeroll players don't deposit, we gotta get rid of those parasites' or 'Damn that Ronaldo and Neymar dude cost us so much, we gotta pay him with al the freeroll money'

Pick one.

It's not like those freerolls were attracting new players or the "round 1 freerolls" were good for new players to learn other poker games like omaha, stud etc.. no no just give away lotto tickets for those superfun automatic all in shove events. That wil surely attract new pokerplayers. The charme is lost GG

That's unfortunate. I used the Astronomer Freerolls to start my bankroll (twice; I went broke the first time (and the second time)). I've paid far more in rake than I ever won from the freerolls, so they aren't all bad for PS.

Luke, I understand you are busy. But Baard and Luke can bother to try to post once a day and again I feel as if they mostly have the least obligation to.

I really can't see how hard or long it would take to add these things or even reply. You constantly say you are really busy and that's fine dude, but bring another pokerstars employee to help yo out with it. Someone who communicates a lot more and we can work on the schedule with him and you can approve and follow the GTD's.

Like I have 0% shot of playing today. A battle royale? I mean it gets 150k GTD for a $109 On a Wednesday called "battle royale" except the exact same thing runs 6/7 days and doesn't get the same. Just because you write battle royale people look and join.
So, adding the minis really should be done yesterday dude. You are costing Amaya money by not throwing up those trnys and probably yourself. And causing us all sonics ache because you are so busy and constantly just say how busy you are.


Read this today and throw up mini thrill tomorrow and mini weekender on Saturday. Please there is no reason we should go one more week without these and all others. Keep revising your schedule as your doing, just throw these in and when you see how good they are consider them in your revised schedule for 2017 .

you're such a spoilt ****.

waaaaaaaaah i want soft low stakes featured tournaments waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

How ****ing thick are all of you to not realize that they do not roll out certain tournaments because the cannibalization effect may reduce the net rake they pull in over the short/long run? Just incessantly demanding more featured tournaments at your buy-in level. Why stop at a mini-thrill? why not just run 24 at every ****ing hour on Thursdays? God save all of you when online poker pushes you out and you have to join the real world.
