    You basically have the 109 at 1, the 100 rebuy at 2, the 50 rebuy at 3:15

    :::crickets:::
    :::tumbleweed:::

    the 109 at 7pm, the late 100 rebuy, and the nightly 162.

    In my opinion, these are the only 6 legitimate HSMTTs on pokerstars' daily schedule, as I don't consider the 50 freezeouts, 50 cubed, or 20r to be on that list. This seems to be a pretty sad lineup for what is supposed to be the leading online poker site. To have no tournaments really worth playing between 3:15 and 7pm is pretty much an embarassment.

    I have always been a Stars apologist, but let's face it....

    Full Tilt is kicking the crap out of stars in the daily tournaments department.

    Would stars flatten the payout of the 100r's if they put a guarantee on it? Even if they did what do you have against reducing variance?

    It is not just their high stakes, Full Tilt murders their mid-stakes too.

    it's been said over and over again that stars needs to revamp their weekday schedule.

    For some reason, they are much more worried about making a supernova elite jr.

    Please stars, for the love of god please add more tournaments. Make a committee of players and we'll be more than happy to step up and help you with your weekday schedule. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

    it really is kinda pathetic. The midday gap is inexcusable. 100 cubed, 200/300 6 max would be huge improvements. Also, i wouldnt mind having the 100r be 6 max half the days

    stars should make a $162 right around 4 PM EST with like an $80k gtd on it. And also a 30r FR w/ like 30k gtd on it, and maybe a daily $215 somewhere around 5-6 ish would be cool that alternates between 6m and FR every day. Slap like a $75k guarantee on that imo. DO IT ONE TIME.

    I don't hate them, did ok in the brawl 6 max yesterday, but i find I have to pay more attention to them and can't multitable them as easily, so therefore can't play as many tables as i usually do.

    in this case give us a full ring 30r that starts in the afternoon.

    oh, and howcome OP doesn't think 50 cubed tourneys are high stakes but thinks $100 freezeout are??

    I don't understand why no one wants a guarantee on the daily 100r's. It's not like it's a soft field.. and adding a guarantee would likely attract more fish + lower the variance in a tournament that needs more fish and has variance like none other... Maybe you guys are just so good at the MTT pokers that you don't sweat variance tho.

    The best daily tourney on either site is the nightly 100r on stars. Please don't kill it by throwing a guarantee on it and killing the payout structure!!

    Someone explain to me how putting a guarantee would kill the daily 100r's please. Because the flatter pay out structure would take away from the huuuuuuge edge you all have in the 100r (lol?)

    [ ] has to acknowledge player requests to remain competitive

    [ ] is concerned that players will migrate to another site

    [x] is crushing its guarantees and hasn't had an overlay since...?

    Monopoly - the fragrance.
