    I primarily play on stars, but like 90-man SNGs. The problem? The $11 and $22 games never seem to fill on PS. On the other hand, the $13 and $26 games on FT run quite regularly. What can Stars do to get these games to fill up? Is it the knock out or double-stacked (quasi turbo) FT format that attracts people? For those that don't play on FT, their 90-mans are double stacked with 5 minute blinds.

    The 180s and 45s get all the traffic on stars. But I'm sure you know that already. I wonder if stars made the 90s hyper turbo OR 3k start stack if they would fill. Because even though the structure is a little different than the 45s and 180s...they're just not that much of a variety from the others.

    They would fill more if they showed on the Tourney tab like the 180's, imo.

    This and I like the idea of hyperturbo.

    I know. The turbo 90 mans on PS are my favorite because of the structure. A double stack will not work in these though, imo, because the structure (which shouldn't change) would make this a 3.5 hour tourney.

    I wish people would realize how good a value these games are, but in the end it would probably be mostly the grinders that would play these because the structure favors skilled play and is great practice for MTTs.

    Most people suggest making these KOs would increase the traffic considerably. I normally hate KOs, but to keep these structures, I think it might be worth making the change.
