Maybe the SJWs can take down Amaya group and restore Pokerstars greatness?

WE DEMAND 56 GENDER CHOICES AND LOWER RAKE AND WE DEMAND IT NOW!!!!!!!!!

I heard rumors that stars will prohibit playing on both sites (.es and .eu).

Anyone heard something more?

I mean from their end that doesn’t really make much sense as itd cut their revenue and we know what Amaya thinks about their own bottom line

Guys a very very silly question.

Some of the MTTs like the Bigger 11 and the Hotter 44 have become re-entries, but I hadn't noticed for a long time, because I don't get the prompt to rebuy when I bust out.

I suspect my hotkeys autoclick exit tournament before I get the chance to do anything.

Can anyone tell me how you reenter a tournament? Do you see two buttons on the bottom of the screen giving you a yes or no choice?

Wow, even Bounty Builders have the 50% of 1st for 2nd payout on top of the fact they already paid about double with bounties typically. I have to admit I am not seeing the short or long term gain for Amaya here, they are driving down traffic now killing rake opportunities and driving away future customers for MTTs killing long term rake.

Most of their moves at least made sense from the standpoint of greedy corp wants moar money... but nobody likes these payouts. Even randos on twitter say they suck in the comments and such.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that, I will give it a try.

Thank you as well.

So, you are saying that there's no prompt, you just go back to the lobby and re-register? Because the first time I got a whiff of this, I saw a guy I knocked out sitting back on his seat and started asking people in chat what the hell was happening.

Idk whats going on with this company. There is almost no reason to play big tournament fields anymore. Even most casual players will stop playing these longterm.

Congratz Amaya making the worst marketing decissions possible. Not even a 12 year old child would make such stupid decissions.

RiP ICM 2018. More "Winner takes it all" tournaments for 2019 please!

Brutal. Ironically, I was looking at the BB$11 when I wrote that and ended up coming 4th in it for $900+$135 in bounties... I love that my first deep run in a big field tourney in a while comes literally days after they ruin the payouts for the FT (I mean unless you win, of course).

For reference, last time I played BB$11, 4th won $1825 (obviously including bounties, I don't know the breakdown)

Nov. 20/18
1st thru 4th was: 6500, 2900, 2420, 1825...
Today
1st thru 4th was: 5565, 2320, 1415, 995 (me)...

Yay!

Do you lads realize that we play for 1st place, not 2nd or 3rd? That said idk how much money a winning player will won less or more with the "new" pay structure. Like if he playes $11 1k MTTs with 1k bots in it. Hm maybe I can use Poker Variance Calculator for no bounty tourneys, but if the itm is some number /example 20%/ I can not change the % of the prize pool that goes to ft.

Bounty Builder are by far the most preferred format in online mtt poker these days and there is no way around them.
thats not the point. But they are ways to care more about your customers. Just take party for example. they dont even rake the bounty part of the buy in and considered paying 1st and 2nd evenly to compensate first place bounty

Hey guys what is the policy of UK players playing on .fr or .is sites?

Would i login with my details from stars.uk?

Can i play on .uk and .fr at the same time?

Am i breaking the rules with a UK IP address etc... risking account closure and forfeiting my funds etc
