Which I'd be willing to put up with if the games weren't already ridiculously regular filled. More [censored] promotions isn't the solution boys. The Supernova Elite one is bad enough for the games (ignore this if you play 60s-)

I see your point but what if I plan on being one of the highest volume players on Stars next year?

Lower rake is going to save a high volume player an incredible amount of money compared to a silly SNG leaderboard.

Has everyone forgot how hard the games were during the stupid double points promotion?

Keep the antes.

If you change anything it should be to add in a filter for 6max/9max and for turbo/regular games. I hate accidentally registering for the wrong game and this could easily be implemented and make a lot of people (particularly the players who play high volume and pay the most rake) very happy.

Obv I would prefer lower rake. I just don't see it happening. Getting some kind of promotion seems really good to me instead of nothing extra.

Edit: 9 vs 6 max filter would be killer!

How about having some sort of cash bonus if anyone wins like the first 5 hands of a tourny, 5 hands in a row in the first level, or something like that?

I just think that whatever piddly equity you would get from a leaderboard you would lose and much more from the toughness of the games.

I agree that further filtering for seats and speed would be awesome. I want my lobby to show 9-handed turbo and nothing else.

As for the 10 vs 9 handed debate, I guess it won't make a large difference either way. I don't quite see why 10 handed would give winning players a higher hourly, though.
Maybe it would, I just don't see it.

I'm mildly amused by the idea of a leaderboard. I used to like this idea. Like a lot. But now...I don't know.
There are enough 20 tabling regs as is.

Also, 150/300 level is great news.
