Thanks for the update Luke. When collating feedback (especially regarding rake) please ignore Daniel Negreanu.

You are absolutely pathetic and a complete ****ing sellout. The fact that you are a former poker player and continue to work with a company trying to destroy the game that has given you so much just shows what kind of a human being you truly are. Do everyone here a favor and just go away, everyone is tired of that same bull**** you spew on here every single time.

P.S. **** off.

P.S.S. Stop treating people in here like they are idiots, the fact that you think we don't see exactly what you and your company are doing is insulting.

Basically he's just blocked everyone that he doesn't agree with, so this looks like a nice small thread to him now

Was checking out the Twitch poker directory today and saw xflix streaming and the title was "5th in Hot 82 for 700 something dollars". Not even 10 buyins thought that was pretty funny.

I was expecting this too. Easy way to unburden workload.

Tbh I really enjoyed wcoop low but the payout changes are just another slap in the face

I guess you haven't been experiencing the "thrill" of mincashing a little more often

It's another gimmick to rake players even more packaged as a benefit to recreational players. I can't speak for everyone but I find high top prizes to be extremely more thrilling than paying 1/5'th of the field. I truly hope Luke et. al lose market share moving forward.

Looking forward to this! No doubt more excellent ways to rake all deposits and not let anyone cashout.

The above post attacking you wasn't constructive but its hard to disagree. You were a high volume player when poker was offered not raketraps and im sure you would be at the front of the line slamming all these terrible changes if you still played.

You just know the schedule wont change in a good way.
Its a shame theres no where else for a micro stakes player to go.

Of course it wasn't constructive, but neither has 99% of the posts here either because he simply ignores them. Any poker player or former poker player accepting a sponsorship, or working for this site literally has no backbone at all... all the good guys were smart enough to get out already.

As I can see amaya does not care at all about poker. All they want is money and casino for all players. Pokerstars just going down. Do you guys remember what site was on the top? And do you know where is Bryan now?
It's just a circus. i really don't understand this greediness. It's really good for poker ecology! Now I see! Removing supernova elite then you removed all ranks. Removed battle of the planet (good for sng! very good for that format! gj). Then you removed MTT leaderboard. Once again, very good for poker economy! Then you added that amazing format called "spin and go". Now you added these incredible chests! I'm so excited to open them! Every day I'm waiting for my lovely chests! Now you did what? Now you decided to make another good change for poker economy and made those 20% payouts. All player here (ok almost all) said that this is terrible, but who cares? They are probably wrong because amaya cares about players and knows what to do. Wait wait I forgot about rake increase, blind structures, adding those amazing bounty builders, deleting a lot of MTTs, removing money rewards from shop. Maybe I forgot to mention something but of course all these changes are good for poker economy!
Oh I forgot about bracelets cancelling and now you cancelled a watches too.
As long as nodoby cares about poker in amaya, just make all MTTs shootout all in hyper-turbo 100% PKO with 50% rake and 50% payouts. This will be so great and I will grind 24/7 for those chests!

I am now moving more of my roll onto other sites after seeing that picture with all the payouts...

Any idea how to transfer from Stars into 888 without paying withdrawal / exchange rate fees; paypal isn't a withdrawal method for me for some "secuirty" reason

Amaya, your Spanish MTT offerings suck a lot. Just wanted to let you know. Replace at least some of the hypers and turbos with slower paced MTTs to compensate for the drop in rakeback. Or alternatively rename yourself into Pocostars.

PS: The MTT structures are horrible. Why don't you change them into all-in every hand? That would be the next logical step. And we as players would not have to waste time thinking about our plays.

Im moving most of my volume over to party/888/Winamax, cant accept this anymore

I wish I was able to make the same mental gymnastics Luke performs everyday.
Life would be much easier.

Change the 109r turbo to a 55r big antes like it used to be and see the traffic more than double (can't remember the time off the top of my head but its late evening European time). Also, cut the damn rake!

Lol cut the rake lol

I'm so happy I can play all the major tourneys on Winamax and can forget Stars as long as they think poker players are idiots. Please carry on with your stupidity.

Did my first session without any pokerstars games in years, it felt kind of liberating tbh haha.
Only playing the $530 PCA qualifiers in near future, fk pokerstars in general these days

Why is there a `hole` of o8(5 card,nl,pl&courchevel h/l) games between 17:44 and 19:05 CET?There are only 2 MTTs and the $27 plo8 omania is sadly too expansive for me
Could u add a $5,50 Mtt in that slot?

new payouts are absolutely awful.

.
?

not planning anything Luke?

why are there no satellites for Pokerstars Hamburg Cup/Open (220-330€?).

Guess I won't sat into a 1,1k€ event..

OK so we have to put some faith in Luke that they are working on the regular schedule. Discussion begun at start of year but told to wait 9 months while they work on scoop and wcoop. From memory:

1. Mixed games see quoted post above. There were other suggestions I'm not a mixed game player. Please chime in and get your changes made. I believe they were around adding more games of every variant but making sure the structure was decent. There were a lot of variants without a decent daily.

2. Low stake deep stacks/ PKO deep stacks. Need to add some more $5.50- $11 in the off-peak late morning/early- mid afternoon slot. No harm in adding a mid staked $33-$55 one as well.

3. Another series (low/mid) would be great before the end of the year. I'm sure mountain series/ couple of red spade opens/ retro old mtts/ etc would be fine. It doesn't need to have the same level of planning as WCOOP/SCOOP. I think we would all prefer if the structures are okish and slower then micro millions.

4. I've forgotten other stuff but yeah this is a start.

there are 109€s (ticket + 400€ expenses) as well as €162s for packages.
