    agreed!

    Edit: After reading the rest of the thread, I agree with Gags on everything but the alternating 6m tourneys. I'm really not interested in seeing my favorite tournaments turned into 6-handed half the time (which, for me is what would likely happen since right now I can generally only play 3 days a week).

    Regarding the time banks, I definitely prefer stars' system over FTP's. I'm never going to run out of time coming back from a break because I know how long the breaks are and I'll sit out if I need to. I much prefer not having to click "time" if I have chips already invested in the pot.

    I'd like to see some $22-$33 FO between the $22/12.5K at 13:00 ET and the $27.50/30K at 20:00 ET. Everything $22-$33 in that 7 hour period is either big antes, capped, 6 max, deep stacks, etc. A 7 hour stretch in the afternoon without a normal 22-33 FO just doesn't seem right.

    being able to register for a decent number of mtts in a short timeframe would be huge, please add many more in the micros-small/mid stakes (where i believe there is plenty of traffic to support the guarantees below*********)

    mtts such as

    5.5 -5k
    11 -10k
    22 -8k
    33 -9k

    are all mtts that could most likely fill/smash a guarantee if they started 3 times every hour during peak hours

    yes im proposing stars start 3 instances of each of the above mtts every hour (Ie every 20 minutes a new 11 10k begins)

    between 10:00 server time to 18:00 server time (minimum) id expect the player base to surpass 3 an hour of these small guarantees easily (maybe run them 1-2 times an hour each off peak and/or with smaller guarantees)

    that scheduling would allow a player to register 24 mtts in a 2 hour timeframe, (or an only $5-$11 player to register 12 mtts) which is HUUUGE compared to only a handfull every few hours (mtts take 6-8 hours to play, having to register for 4-6 hours and then play 6-8 hours makes for a long ass day just to get in some volume, and its still impossible to get in a sufficient amount on only one pokersite)

    if you guys decide to massively up the volume of micro-low stakes guaranteed mtts i and i would assume many other low stakes grinders and micro enthusiasts would be thrilled

    and with all the software issues other sites have, being able to get all the volume i want on stars would probably channel all my business there pretty efficiently

    (and preemptively no, 180 man fields and payouts =/= 300-2,000 player mtt fields/payouts so sngs to achieve volume are not a comparable substitute)

    also maybe add another layer of color coding to tourney names to diferentiate these new "recurring" guarantees from the existing larger guarantees (i think it will be possible to have "feature"/"hourly" tournaments still hit loftier guarantees while smaller "recurring" guarantees of the same buy in run in close proximity to them, but another layer of color coding would certainly be beneficial for this aim)

    (exisiting) red for "signature" mtts like the mil, warmup, NHG, NSG, DFG
    (existing) GOLD for Existing larger guarantees (which i think should also all start on the hour xx:00)
    (New) Gold** for new smaller "recurring" smaller guarantees (which could start at xx:00 xx:20 and xx:40)

    **(or bring back black/bold font that was formerly used for "Turbo")

    so as an example hour (and one minute)

    14:00 5.5 -5k
    14:00 11 -40k Daily Forty Grand (existing obv)
    14:00 22 -8k
    14:00 33 -9k

    14:20 5.5 -5k
    14:20 11 -10k
    14:20 22 -8k
    14:20 33 -9k

    14:40 5.5 -5k
    14:40 11 -10k
     14:40 22 -8k
     14:40 33 -9k

    15:00 5.5 -20k existing
    15:00 11 -10k
     15:00 22 -8k
     15:00 33 -9k

    the existing mtts listed above with color coding are the only full ring uncapped NLHE guarantees that start for this hour in any of these buy in ranges btw, we definitely need more, even if PS doesn't go all out as i suggest they can and should

    ********Maybe im off base and stars doesnt have the traffic to support the 22-33s (at 400/300 to fill respectively) if they ran with this frequency, but id be extremely hard pressed to believe im off base on the 5.5 and 11s. imo the Daily 40K still hits its guarantee with the other 11s constantly registering and hitting theirs as well simply because people are drawn to the "big money" and because they enjoy the game/the action and plenty will still play both for those reasons

    There mid schedule needs some beef. Well overdue here. They have some great $33 Gaurs during the evening, but I never understand why there were never any running during peak times. The mid stacks cap mtts are great as well and should be offered hourly imo.

    I've noticed some experimentation with the schedule over the past few days. I'm sure its been covered itt but I think quite a few players would like to see an $11 cubed earlier in the day between 13:00-15:00 and perhaps another $22 cubed later in the evening around 19:00. Also it would be nice to have some $33s between 12:00 and 21:00. This is just my 2 cents and obviously they cant please everyone but hopefully some of the material itt will be added to schedule.

    Yeah definitely all of this.. Make the $33's like Tilt runs their $26's. Make one a turbo or differ them in structure if you like. Just make sure there's some decent guarantees and people will show.
