I am a low stakes player so I cannot compete into them, reason of my question.

Thanks for the care that PS have to their players !!!

Lenail - They only do this for the SCOOP There are a few $109/$215 events, maybe try to satellite into one of those and "take a shot".

ok, just my 2 cents:

-04 september event 01: making this a rebuy allows a bigger prizepool and some really deep big stack play which is awsome especially 6 max, if u want to keep the buy in smaller why not a 150 rebuy?

-07 september HU event : make the HU events a 500$ one if you for some reason wanna keep it low else even 750$ or 1k. I just think 200 wont create a large prizepool and is bit small for a HU event...

-10 september event 20: I would again suggest make it a rebuy, there aren't a ton of these yet, it would create a way larger prizepool on saturdays whereas players could still take a shot for one buyin...

-11 septmber: add a sunday turbo???

-add a 500+r 6 max to the series...

It might look like I'm just "overpushing" with rebuys but i think even after adding these changes there will still be a nice balance between rebuys and fo's. There are still tons of 200 fo... Rebuys usually allow deeper stack play which "gives more skill to the game" and of course increase the prizepools.

Else the shedule looks fine to me (didnt expected less from the best site around!).

+1

=[ BryanS, can i move in with you so I can play on PS again?

How about a few more events starting earlier at 6 or 8oclock (or alternatively later 16:00) to give Australian / Asian players more of a chance to participate................................these events look / sound awesome but they are almost impossible to play for people in our region as currently scheduled.

Cheers

Some of these events start reeeeally early tho. But I guess thats cool, they cant just make this about us euros (even if i want them too...).

I like how for the Main Event they set the minimum number of players at 1,000 which essentially says if they don't hit the guarantee, the tournament is cancelled. What is the point of a guarantee then?
