I'm here... reading and digesting. You folks are more than carrying the conversation at this point, so I thought I'd let it go on without interfering.

I'm definitely reading, though... fairly sure I'm not the only one.

As for the antes, based on this thread, the consensus seems clear and I thank all of you for sharing your thoughts on the feedback we'd received to remove them. As for the other feedback, I can't make any promises, however I have noted every bit of it, and passed it along as well.

One thing I can tell you is that the 150/300-25 level is likely to be added soon.

Further question, if you don't mind: what do you prefer, 9-handed or 10-handed... and why?


All the best,

10 handed with antes increases ROI for good players. at 100/200/25 the pot will be even bigger but most wont adjust. so this in mind with the countless other reasons probably already post are why 10 mans are good.

One think I wasn't thinking about. In a 9-man, doubling up early is usually a free ticket to ITM. In the 10-mans maybe not so much. Does this mean that the 10-mans, like the 18-mans, reward a little more risk-taking early? If so, then maybe they would be better for me after all.

I prefer 10 man because 3rd place is more than a buyin. But it really means nothing compared to less rake.

Stars should be more micro-stakes friendly.
And as always, we're looking for a delicious Rakeback.

As for Micro-stakes friendly, 20% rakes for the $1 SnG's is outrageous.

What would also be nice is $1 HU SnGs and even 1c/2c HU tables.

There should also be $1 turbos. I believe currently the lowest turbo is $3?

I'm a bit amazed at how little most in this thread realize how a 10 v 9 payout structure effects and has effected winrates. Everybody is just used to single digit roi's now I guess.

Why are 100% ROIs attainable in 1000 person tournaments but not 9 player tournaments? It's all relative. Increasing the player pool generally helps immensely.
