Pokerstars made so many things wrong, but now they made a thing right, good job with 4.50$ 36-180 Players ON-Demand SNG!

Hope you bring now also bigger buy-ins (maybe 8$ and 20$) with SNG like this (15Min Blind levels!)!

+1

^ I was waiting this for years. Its nice that finally its here. I suggest that there is a room for 1.5$ 36-180 Players ON-Demand SNG that should replaced 1$ 180 red speed. In this way games will be played more for sure. Imo there should be some semi turbo (like 8 min levels or variate level structure), turbo and rebuy 36-180 Players ON-Demand. Like 1$ R - 1$ turbo - 1.5$ reg speed, 3.5$ R - 3.5$ turbo - 4.5$ reg speed and so on. Something like that. And all sng over 18 players should be replaced with SNG ON-Demand.

Maybe I don't understand something, but I don't see why is that so good to have 180 man MTSNG on demand? I like to play them when they are 180 man, not 130 or so. Can someone explain why is that so good?

Now you can play much more Games, so far the games was starting in the prime time all 25 Minutes, in other Times there was no games or maybe 1 per hour. Think it's not only better for REGs is also better for other players.
I hope for more SNGs (other Buyins) like this with 15 (!!!) Min Blind Levels.

pls do On Demand for the 8$ 180s,too, stars! they are absolutly dead right now- the 4,5$ 180s were dead and now they are exploding!

I can only find 109€ and 162€ to the 1100€ main event (as well as including expenses).

yeah omg. 41 games running on a regspeed MTT.

for comparison:
0.25$ 45man - 56 games
1.5 turbo 6man - 47 games
3.5$ turbo 18man: 33 games

yeah sorry nvm thought you meant the main

+1

Would like to see $8, $15 and $27

turn 2.5$ 90man into 45 OD maybe? those almost never run.

plsssss $2.50 is such a good price point for some people!

+1 to make $2.5 90 man regspeed on demand.

The problem is that there will be more games but less recs. Its good for the eastern europe and brazilian micro grinders who got now more volume on stars but the reg to rec ratio will go down further. And as mentioned in a full 180 there is now almost 30$ less than before.

btw did they change the rake on this? don't know the old rake on 4.50

yeah, but how much do we actually lose? I mean those games had so little volume, it's like losing 5 good games for getting 40 mediocre ones in peak time. with the flatter payouts the variance shouldn't be so much harsher now.

The old rake was the same: $0.40.
I dunno about 40 mediocre games. Would you play all those 40 games? It used to be 13 games in my registering time from 19:00 CET to 00:00 CET. Maybe for regs who want to play them 20-30 per session it's ok to play 120-140 people MTSNG, but for me it's much better to play just 10 full 180 man MTSNGs.

Thats not a fixed payout structure though , right ? It just depends on how many people reg the tourny.

it's the payout at 180 man, can't compare anything else. imho 180 are too top heavy anyway, it's a 15 min tournament and bricking 4th often would be more painful than it is now after playing for 4 hours.

the hourly must be super low in this, since w 15m level you can almost not get any reasonable $ volume in. are eastern euro and brazillions really a problem here?

no, but I would be happy to get my screen filled (6, 9 or 12 tabling) way faster with the same format. Get the damn session started. If you wanted to play those formats exclusively you would had to add other formats and stuff because else you would be less than 4-tabling for over two hours, and I'm talking about near peaktime. Right now, a new game pops every 9-10 minutes (28 games right now), getting up to 6 minutes in peak. The liqudity of these games is higher than 3.5$ 18man, and it's a more expensive 36man+ regspeed ffs. compare this to 1$ 180man with has 15 right now, or 3.5$ 45man which has only 5 games running

Good thing that the rake is hidden now otherwise more people would realise they pay 10% rake for a hyper.

and so it begins

Nothing has changed, that one was always $10+1. Also it isn't completely fair to qualify it as hyper as Phase 2 is regular speed.

Instead of making those silly changes, you guys could try to reunite again all countries. It was so good to play with USA, Spain, Italy, France, Australia and all other countries. Just make an effort and try to rich 300000-400000 players at peak time as we had before.
