Ok, I've made this post before, and stars finally responded a few days later by adding a $162 6max with a 50k guarantee (that regularly hits over 150k prize pool btw) on sundays. Stars you added a $500 plo 6max on monday nights, cool (i bubbled it sigh), ftp you've got the 100c 6max. Honestly though, us internet players love playing 6max mtts. To those of you who don't want to add more 6max because it makes it harder to focus, don't play it!

Stars: It would be really cool if you rotated the sunday 500, sunday warmup, 2nd chance, and early 100r as 6max on sundays. Could just make one of them a 6max each week and have one for every day of the month. I appreciated the $162/6max that could have triple the guarantee and still smash, but having a first place of near 100k in a 6max is so much better. Also perhaps on wednesday nights you could add a nice little $215 6max with a ~50k guarantee (how about 8:30 PM ET?)
FTP: The 100c 6max on sundays (or weekdays) is cool and all, but having a 6max FO would be so much cooler. You don't have a $500 mtt on sundays while stars does. Why not add a $322 or $530 6max with a 200-300k guarantee (perhaps at 6 PM ET since you got nothing there right now anyway). In addition, since tuesday night is such a big night for online hsmtt players in general, why not add a nice $216 6max with a ~50k guarantee also (how about 8:30 PM ET?).
Stars and FTP: I love you both, but your 6max NLHE options are weak. Sundays are the largest days of the week and 6max should be an equally important part of them. -
This is such a beautifully perfect idea. Alas I doubt it will ever happen

I obv would't play but along with the Cosign here for you guys. Gettin Daize is very correct that there should be some type of high stakes tourny. I know back in the day they had the 5k winner take all but it ended up barely getting 1 table. I feel like a 2k on saturday 6 max with the sunday DNG structure with 5-10k starting stack would be perfect for what you guys want. And after running it the first time if there are enough people stars could turn it into a 2day event? Just a thoughtt

Reason: starting stack thrown in -
this all sounds great...i was a lil disappointed at stars supposed "overhaul" of the schedule...looks like the 500$ monday plo is the only new high stakes tourney they added. altho , def kudos for fixing 100r/200r structures...i was still looking fwd to a cpl new random HSMTTs and was a bit disapointed at one plo tourney and a billion small turbos.
agreed with Frank's suggestions...i think it is about time for FTP to add something in that 9pm Tuesday slot. any six max or HSMTT would be great there, maybe a 69$ rebuy (let token players min buy in), should get at least 300 ppl or so and would easily reach 75k guar.

couldn't agree more with OP.. hope something gets implemented.. I mean it wouldnt hurt to have the swu / sbrawl play as a 6 max bi weekly or monthly.. or hell once a month.. it would be nice to have a different array of mtts.. im sure all you guys listed above would love to see a different variety of mtts offered at the higher levels (structures, games, sh/fr, etc) .. more 6 max plsss

tilt changes every tournament into a rush tournament but hardly has any good 6max except the sat. 300....agreed w franky
-
I absolutely agree with more 6 max being added, I just find that recreational players don't enjoy 6 max as much. I feel like switching those signature tourneys up every sunday could drastically effect the field size, anybody else see that happening? I think they should just add a high stakes 6 max freezeout on stars every day at like 10 eastern time during the week, monday 300, tuesday 500, wednesday 2500, thursday 500, friday 300 or something along those lines.

i came, but i think they would need to start them a tad earlier

Edited By: MarkFSU1 Nov 2nd, 2010 at 08:05 PMFTP has a $322 6 max on saturdays and a $500 6 max on fridays so i doubt they will add another on Sunday, but a $500 on FTP on Sunday in that 6pm slot would be pretty sick and 200k-300k sounds about right. Tuesday $216 6 max at 8:30 sounds good eventho UB is pretty 6 max heavy on Tuesday at that time with a $129 and $322 6 max of their own...Originally Posted by Frank1The1Tank

Saturday is not sunday, saturdays suck. Only time I play on saturdays during ftops/wcoop/scoop/uboc etc. Saturday is a good day to chill with friends outside of poker who are usually not working that day.
Agree that rotating sunday majors already in the schedule might not be the best idea and something that wont ever happen, but adding another tourney seems completely feasible. -
moreeee 6 maxxxxxxx

Add more 6max seems like a great idea, However. On sundays, leave MTTs full ring and add a couple more higher stake MTTs (full ring)... sunday is so juicy and full ring MTTs just get ridic. big fields w/redic price pools.. Change the 100cubed to a full ring MTT and I'm sure the pricepool will increase w/50-100%...
During the rest of the week add another 6max high stakes. Esp on Tuesday since there it's so empty at 9:00 ET when the Tuesday is a huge high stakes MTT day.. -
good idea frank except a 216 6max doesnt even get my blood pumping. how bout a $406+31 108k guar on tuesday night on full tilt? with the 1k going over on stars, i cant imagine that this couldnt hit every single week. and if it ends up being a success, stars should then add a $604+49 186k guar on monday nights. would get tons more traffic going in the early part of the week. and if not, then teres always the cake 21+3 10k guar going on thursdays.

its the fact that you want to change these huuuuge tournaments into 6 max. I dont think very many people would be against creating more six max mtts, but changing tournaments like the warmup, brawl, sunday 500, etc to 6 max is just such an awful idea. Ya, it would be nice for a change of pace and more 6 max mtts because I think regs suck even more at 6 max than 9 handed, but changing these long time established sunday majors into 6 max tourneys does not make sense. I am pretty sure that most recreational players prefer full ring to shorthanded. A lot of people just will not feel comfortable playing 6 max and I think we should try to keep these recreational players playing these big buyin tournaments every week of the month.
ok shoulda kept reading thread, seems like you guys figured it out!
