$15 sats with 100 gtd for SM Anniversary can have HT 2x SO sats to them. And some normal sats, so people with smaller bankrolls can try to qualify to special $215 event without playing $5 spins.

I had the same message. I run ps.bg and always run ps as administrator. Pressed upgrade and all is cool. Maybe you did not run it with administrator rights.

SCOOP 2019 Schedule, please? Thank you!

And bring back the HU MTTs with no bounties.
This zoom style is terrible.

Na, the old non zoom format was terrible. Having to wait ~30-40 minutes every round if you finished your HU early was a nightmare. Those tournaments took ~6+ hours while the zoom format takes half that time and you play a lot deeper. The format is perfect as it is. They could add some variations like a 50% psko, but overall I think PSKO is a great format for Heads Up MTTs. It requires much more skill than a normal format HU MTT.

Ffs. Why is it a week later this year?
So that there's zero break between SCOOP and the WSOP. ****s.

@Luke just an idea. Those $1k / 2k / 3k / 5k / 10k freerolls are super boring and time wasting. Why dont you change them full PSKO with no latereg and the total prizepool gets split between all participants as bounty on their head.

Right now a lot of players who have those tickets dont even think about playing them.

Of all the changes stars has made, which is the worst of all?


I know they increased the rake higher for mtt 16.50 and below which was bad. But whose idea was it to change the payout structure where not only so many players get paid... that isn't that bad... but look at the payouts. 1st is almost twice 2nd place.


Also people say don't play on stars. Well what sites can you even get much volume from mtt if you don't play on stars? 888 very few tournaments, partypoker... they randomly delete add tournaments so you don't even know their daily schedule.

removing the vip program sucked the most money out of the ''eco system''

imo payout changes are the worst change by far as an mtt player , u can look at acr payouts for comparison.... old stars structure used to be like that , 5-6k fields and still 52-55% of the money at the final table , now its barely 30% lol

first place on stars is worse than on any other site (11-12% vs 15-17% on other sites but since it's 2x 2nd people mistakenly think stars has top heavy payouts .

I used to share ur view , party has rly stepped up their game tho the last couple of months . 888 has a few big tourneys worth playing and if u need more acr/ winamax are def worth looking into.

Lol... if that isnt a prove that Luke or someone else is still reading this thread.
Thats exactly what I`ve suggested yesterday and today it gets announced.

Its definetly a good change and it rewards those players who are not sitting out the entire tournament without having a chance to cash.

Thanks anuj

The value isnt that high, but I expect them to change all freerolls (not only the weekly ones) in the future to a PSKO format. There will be higher value ones. & now you can register and just shove any2 all in and gamble for some bountys & it will also increase the speed of them.

That was a Robin Hood gesture - taking EV from good regs who frequent FTs and giving it to bad ones who cash often enough but get destroyed on the way to the FT I might even be able to show a profit sattying into major $22s later this year

Okay, here is an answer I`ve received from "Chris H" (Pokerstars Staff on Discord). He confirms that someone (or more people) is/are still observing this thread here (probably not Luke anymore).
