    Stars has decided i think, to make the 11pm 109$ 50k, 10min level, a turbo tourny with 5min levels, every second night.

    In my opinion, this tourny had a perfect structure, with the 10minute levels, and the end of the rebuy period after 90minutes.

    However, in the past month or so, stars has made this tourny a turbo - 5min blinds every second night, but left the same 90min rebuy/ 2nd chance period. Of course with this structure, one will most likely have to rebuy before the 90 minutes have elapsed, making this essentially a 200$ buyin for most regular tourny players, considering i am not exactly going to quit the tourny with an available rebuy.

    The point of this post, is to gauge the opinions out there, and to see if there is interest in petitioning pokerstars to make this tourny a 10minute level structure only, discluding lets say saturday night, considering all the great tournys available sunday. ty all Derek.

    i think it should be 10 min levels. there are already 2 109 turbos after the 2x. 5 minute levels is luckfest and the 10 min level is a very fun fast paced structure.
    keep 10 minute levels imo

    To be honest I am very upset with this turbo/10 min level nonsense. I always liked the 8 PM and 10 PM (west coast) $109 tourneys and now never play them because of the new fast structure. There are no longer any playable tournaments after the nightly hundo imo

    Agree. Only 109 I could actually go deep in and the 30k guar would be just fine. I like a regular 10 min blind interval freeze maybe but no rebuy. I hate to spend 200 on this fast structure :(

    the only thing that sucks about it being a turbo every other day, is that its not a turbo every day.

    I agree. I used to love this tourney when it was just a regular $109 50k guarantee. There was always about a 4-7k overlay so I understand why they made it a 2x tourney. But to make it a turbo is fucking rediculus. The $109 2 hours later is already a turbo. This tilts me.

    I wish it were non-turbo every day, I used to love this tourney.

    edit: exactly what nutty said, the 2 late night $100's used to be my fav daily's. hate that they switched the structures, instead of lowering the guar.
