    At first i was like $4.40 what a stupid buy-in,I would like to see $5.50 and $11 180 man tourneys, but then i log on today and no $4.40 buy-in.What happened???i sure would love to see some capped tourneys to like 350 people, 90 man in all limits would be cool to.I've emailed them and I got a ton of other people to do the same and can't get what i want, thats life,LOL.

    Thanks, TheHawk

    I have sent many emails to pokerstars asking for cap field tourneys. I guess they feel its a losing proposition not allowing people who want to play in a tournament. I thought the 180 mans were a great idea. I urged everyone to email pokerstars to run them all day.

    Then I cashed out and quit pokerstars. Even so 180 mans at a lot of levels are still a great idea. It makes no sense to me that they run them twice a day at the 2 worst possible times for US citizens.

    Why not run them all the time,I mean the big players will not leave the big games to play in these,but i might log on more often to play in some cool small buy-in tourneys.Do they think it will hurt the numbers or is billions not enough,LOL.

    Thanks for fast replies, TheHawk

    They were running them on a test basis....kind of like how the 20+2 180 man SNG's were a test basis for a few weeks.....with the continuous filling of the 4.40 sng's I wouldnt be surprised if they were 24/7 within the week since they seem to fill every 15 minutes or so even on the slow times.

    watch the rush when they open at midnight, it's very entertaining, I also enjoy the occasional shiny object
