    its not even close, pokerstars fire the people who make your tourney schedule please....then hire some people who have actually played poker/listen to poker players. Seriously the SCOOP schedule alone is such a disappointment then added the fact that there are no good sattys makes it a cluster fuck imo.

    i agree 100 %...half the No Limit events in the SCOOp are either like 10 handed double shootouts or HU match play or some retarded stuff like that....then over half the events are like razz omaha ho lo 2-7 lhe....schedule looks weak and sattys are crappy...most of them end up being cancelled becuase they dont get enough entries for even 1 seat....the only thing i really do like about the SCOOP is how they have the low,medium, and high buy ins allowing for every skill level/bank roll level to compete for some big prize pools...

    This is wrong ftp has a 10 times better daily schedule than stars and the ftops schedule is much better than scoop especially with additioin of mini ftops. Satelites for both daily tourneys and scoop are terrible on stars FTP> stars

    What makes FTOPS so great? Same thing everytime. SCOOP has tournaments that arent the same as regular tournaments. Plus the payouts will be way larger.

    I agree that ftops is awesome, but i think that the low and medium events are going to be really juicy. However, all stars needs to do in order to make the highstakes much better is slap more freezeout satties. Their should be constant 500 satties to the 10k and just put a 1 seat guarantee, and their should be countless 300 satties to the 5k and 3k. I know their is a thread on 2+2 to request scoop satties, and for the most part stars has responded well, but i just don't understand the lack of satties to these high buyin tournies, or lack of freezeout sattelites instead of steps and rebuys.

    probably >70% of the poker community doesn't even play alternate games...so in this case the same thing everytime is indeed better...all the time.

    Only thing about SCOOP that I dont like is the start times, they could at least have some event for those of us who have jobs here in the US. Throw in the fact that the ME is on Easter and FTOPS wins.

    disagree pat. disagree a lawt. kudos to ftp tho for making the 5k a 2600. def makes it a way better tourney. ftops is gangstur but theres only 1 1k an then the 2600, one more 1500 or a 500r or something would be nifty. but the schedules fine as is. scoop just caters more to dem ballers than ftops does, while still having tons of solid midstakes stuff

    It was annoying that stars seemed like they were interested in getting input from the players and then patently ignored all of it.

    Both are good series. I wish they ran quartely and not biannually. FTP has a way better sattie set up though. stars has so many cancellations for satties that I've registered for.
