pokerstars new MTT schedule: are you kidding me?

Almost all of my favorite micro tournaments are gone! (the 0.11, 0.27, 0.55, 0.82 9 max)

They put many on 6 or 8 max.

This is a nightmare; they took away almost all of the tourneys I was still playing there. What a joke. :(

Yup,it was a Jokerstar allright
Not to mention that the payout structures are messed up as well.

I don't know where they are going with this; but I'm not going to hang around for long. My roll is coming out of there ASAP.

Pokerstars Tournement schedule update

So what's everybody's view on the recent update to the tournament schedule and how do you think this will affect the games?

These days they are only focusing on rake collection.Next thing you know probably all will be in hyper/turbo format.The main problem is they always have the last word because of the market monopoly.

All my favourite game have disappeared although looking around names and structures have changed. I couldn't see the 1.35 games either.

Looks like you have to click on the KO Poker Tab and there are some more mostly Bounty builders

I don´t see almost no "normal freezeout" anymore for instance 3.30 or $11

only Bigs, Hots, BB´s and Turbos


and i am afraid to look at the structures/payouts

Looks like they are already changing to turbo games as alot of the structures have changed: -
Shortening the blinds to 8 minutes
Starting blinds are higher and antes introduced from the start or earlier.

Its like playing poker at a fast food outlet, get your burger and shake then get the F$%* out of here.

Guess its good for the ones that prefer Turbo games or don't like playing tournaments for 6 hours +

At this rate the only games they will have will be flip All in or Fold games :(

Yep my favorites tab is now empty apart from the upcoming scoop's.. For the micro stakes grinders almost all of your reg tourneys are gone :(

Hopefully this will be a trial and error and more changes to come but who knows..

Not a great start for me. My normal $2 rebuy and addon I play I normally have 2 or 3 rebuys and and addon. used to cost $8.20 before the rake on rebuys

Today with the new structure, higher starting blinds, earlier antes and changed from Full Ring to 6Max 10 rebuys and addon and rake cost me $26.40 :eek:

I always thought the "Big" touneys would be a Highlight

but now almost only Bigs left as freeze Outs


@tolka4off: they deleted many 0.55, all 0.82, many 1.10, the 2.75 and the 1.35 / 2.70 / 5.40 the normal 2.20 3.30 and 4.40 8max and maybe more

The height of the batten bar is rising aggressively. For example, 0.02, 0.25 and 0.50, disappeared? The tournaments of 0.11 (only for womans and satellites), 0.82 (only scoop satellites also), 0.27 and 0.55 in hyperturbo and only at format 6max. What is this, dude!?

I had already no good feeling when i read their announcement in the Lobby of the "enhanced schedule" starting 25th :(

seems they want us to register only in 3 or 4 main kinds of tourneys

I'm not overly excited about these changes either but I will give it a go for a few sessions and make the adjustments necessary and then be able to give a proper opinion on the matter.

For reference what would be the next best site to move my funds onto for good reg speed games that get alot of traffic and a wide variety of games?

Guys it will be more efficient to post at the Poker rooms section since the pokerstars representative will be reading the opinions and it should have some echo on the administrators. :listen:

Oh no, I'm sad to see many good tournaments disappeared. I hope that this is not permanent.

Terrible changes. Seems like a lot of favorite tournament from players are deleted. Seems they deleted pokerstars also. The should re-name it to Turbostars... Only thing i like is more 6-max and 8-max. But those structure changes are a joke. Yes, they increased the stack. But by lowering the levels they made those structures worse then they were. Instead of decreasing levels they should atleast keep them the same or make more longer tournaments.

I have no problems with turbos as long as they are in my buyin range AND the payout structure is generous in terms of spots paid.

I'll try to find something that fits my criteria. But there was so much changes that my favorites tab is almost empty.

BTW I don't like 6 max.
