Yeah, this. Not complaining about free tickets, but does seem odd to give away PLO tickets in a NLHE mtt.

I think if you do win that $109 ticket, you can use that ticket for any BB-series with a buy-in of $109 and not necessarily the $109 PLO event. I think this is how it is programmed (all bounty builder awards tickets to tournaments that are scheduled on the last day)

I guess all those tourneys act as a placeholder event or something but I could be wrong.

I think it is pretty funny to give the top X an extra ticket.

I mean, they just won at least 50 times the same amount anyway, why would they care.


Give the tickets to the bubbles or first busters or something.

Imagine everybody all in on the first hand to get a ticket.

Hi Luke,

I'm here for my annual PCA Satellite grind...

Is this it?

$0.55 [Splash] -> $55 -> $530 -> $15,200 Package
and
$82 -> $530 -> $15,200 Package

Can we get some $5.50/$11 into the $55 and some $11/$16.50 into the $82, respectively?

Also some kind of StarsCoin Mega-Path would be nice!

huge +1

I don't think it's completely senseless as you suggest. Good way to induce people into playing other formats etc

Unplayable.

Looks like bounty builder series is in lobby now - October 7th to 21st with a $530 main

seems it is all 8 or 6 max and mostly turbos and hypers
(too many pics to show whole lobby but you can find it on stars -> events tab ofc, couldn't find an article yet or anouncement)



(main event 2-day, clicking through didn't seem like other events are)

np PR yet ... pokernews wrote something based on a Poker Industry PRO piece .. i came here for more infos b/c can't afford paywall ^^

numbers aren't exact, could be +-1 for fast and +-3 for slow mtts:
18 hyper, 19 turbos, 101 regspeed

4x HU
1x 3max
7x 4max
~33x 6max
~58x 8max
~37x 9max

I must say that i checked guaranties and they are pretty small for a bounty builder special events....none of events have over 500k except the main which is too big of a buy in.Im sure they will be covered all so increase atleast some of them by 15-30% and make second main event 55$ with 1.5mln guarantie ,im not gonna able to play it anyway but i just give u friendly advice .

Did the 12:30 HU PKO zoom get removed? It was doing very well, I evens saw it clear 11k a little while ago. If you're not going to do that one throughout the day, can we at least get a higher stake one in the $30-70 range? Very annoying for those of us that enjoy those formats to be so limited, meanwhile literally all other formats are catered to and given plenty of regular tournaments.

whats going on with last sunday high roller
its completely missing in main lobby?

Hey all,

Just popping in to make sure you're aware that Bounty Builder Series begins this Sunday! There's 10 events on Sunday with buy-ins ranging from $2.20 to $2,100 and $2.62M guaranteed. The Series runs through October 21st and has over $20M guaranteed.

As always, there will be an extensive satellite offering including Mega, Deadline, and Last Chance satellites to each event.

Additionally, I wanted to provide some clarification regarding the tickets being awarded in the daily Bounty Builders. These tickets are not added; they are taken from the player contributed prize pool. I agree that the fact that they are classified as satellites to future events is confusing, so beginning Monday, the tournaments will target a tournament with the name of the ticket being awarded. Lastly, these tickets will not expire for five years and will be available for use in all tournaments with the same buy-in from October 22nd.

Good luck!

Do you have any conscience left, Luke??

hahahaha

mods plz ban him

Please address this madness!
K Thx

Dont you think it should be said in the client?
I am sure >99 % of your customers think that those tickets are added to the prizepool. Because thats how you always did it in the past.





Is it normal to do all those little changes without notifiying your customers? Do we always have to contact you to get those kind of information?

I honestly think the idea of having tournaments which are sattelites at the same time too is a good idea. But doing that without at least a big bold written note in those tournament lobbys where the money comes from is unacceptable.

Ha thats funny . So they can just take some of the prizepool and use it to award tickets that you might not want and which you cant sell or exchange for cash. Sounds legit

New reality I predict.

wtf lol almost seems like something out of a onion article (Lukes last post) , you guys are all complaining about winning tickets to random events you might not be interested in? well guess what, you are actually paying for these tickets you don't want to events you might not want to play!

Amazing. I love Pokerstars. Taking care of me.

Luke honestly this is scandalous.

You are not stating in the client they are taken out of the prizepool. In the past you always added them so people will assume the same as before.

Generally you disappear from this thread for months on end.

Come back every now and then and get feedback (which you ignore) on the bad job you have done with wcoop or whatever the latest series/change is. They are always for the worse.

But pretend everything is fine with the schedule which you have been single handedly destroying since you took over from Bryan.

Time to change name to Fraudenmaier.
