    Instead of emailing support I hope reaching pokerstars management this way will be more effective.

    First, I play mostly on Pokerstars and think it's the best site out there.

    I do, however, have some suggestions.

    1) How about including a 150/300-25 level in all your MTTs and SnGs? With the blinds jumping from 100/200 to 200/400 in one go, everybody's M is halved and the game immediately comes more down to luck.

    2) How about changing the 20% payouts to 15% or back to 10%? Playing a 3$ rebuy for 4 hours and get $30 (e.g. if you place as 100 out of 1400) makes it not worthwhile.

    3) How about some doublestack MTTs, a la the ones Full Tilt Poker have? For example a daily $20+2 MTT with 2500 starting stack.

    4) Would resizable tables like partypoker has be possible?

    5) I think lower buy-in ($5-$20) double shootout SnGs would be very popular.

    If other Pocketfivers have additional ideas please say so. Hopefully this thread can influence Pokerstars to make some changes that would make them even better.

    That 150/300 level is the absolutely the most needed thing in the tournaments

    i agree with the double stack tourny idea like Full tilt, stars has the marathon deepstack but that is a very long tourny obv, so a double stack with the same blind structure as a normal tourny wold get a lot of people ii think and i would enjoy it

    If we are making suggestions, I also think pokerstars should run more $100 MTTs like party. Having the $150 and the is 23:00 or 0:00 $100 MTT is definately not enough.

    It would be nice to have 2500 chips to start in any SNG or MTT that has a buy in of $100 or more...

    I think the $150 should start with 2500, the $100's I'm fine with the 1500, but I want more of them.

    Yes, please pokerstars, add the 150-300 level! If it wasn't for lacking this crucial level, I think I would do almost all my playing on PokerStars!

    Also I think MTT's with max 250/500/750 players would be great. The huge fields of 1000+ players are so heavy and long that it's not worthwhile playing if you don't make the final table. 15% prize structure would also be nice.

    I'm fine with the stars blind levels. I hate it when people just sit around and just wait for AA on the bb. I'm also a turbo player, so go figure. As for the 15% pay out structure. I think that's fine when there are over 1,500 people. 20% should have no place in any tournament above $20, end of story.
