Stars: Give us 3k chips and other tourney ideas

[Matt24]

The Stars $109 FOs at 1 pm, 7 pm, and 11 pm have now become 3 of the worst structured tourneys online. Here is a high buyin tourney at the supposed #1 tourney site and the structure is a joke. Full Tilt structure blows it away and would even if the $109 had 3k chips. But I'll settle for 3000 chips like almost every other tourney at stars now.

There is no reason for $55 at 5 which doesn't have a guarantee and the midnight $77 6 max to have 3k chips without guarantees, but the $109 fos are stuck with the massive starting stack of 1500. The 3k starting stack tourneys havent been lasting much longer at all, so I don't see why that would be a huge concern, I don't see any reason at all to keep them at 1500, but I could be missing something.

Also, the new single rebuy tourneys are great, unfortunately the $55 is so late that I rarily play it. I am requesting a $109 single rebuy/addon sometime starting at 715 or 815 would be great, 1015 would be workable. Another $55 single rebuy earlier in the day would be good too, as would a $33 single rebuy sometime.

I am going to go ahead and email stars this, hopefully some others do the same, I also made a a post in reply to a thread on p5s of the same nature.

1500 starting stack is so much better than 3k

I concur about the 100 fo structure, it's awful and I'm not just saying that because I can't beat them. I also think 3k starting chips would help.

luckychewy is really good at 109 FOs I think I'm going to ask him how to beat tournaments with no skill and like 7bbs to start

not raise A7o utg(aejones) and just hold when u get it in good. structure sucks but still not completely unbeatable. 150/300 level would be clutch, as would other in between levels but this is the most necessary imo.

Stars sent me a reply back

Hello Matt,

Thank you for contacting us today, we appreciate your feedback!

In addition to the $109 FOs you have have mentioned, we currently also
have a $109 NLHE ($20k Guaranteed) with 3k in starting chips held at
1.00am daily, as well as a $109+R (1500 starting chips with rebuy and add-
on) held daily at 2pm and 8pm.

As we do not currently have a $109 tourney with a single rebuy/add-on, I
am sending your suggestion to our Ideas box for consideration. I have also
forwarded to them your request for extra $55 tourneys with single
rebuy/add-on at an earlier time.

Please be sure, that we do take your ideas seriously and appreciate the
time you spent to send us your email. If we decide to add new features,
based on your suggestions, we will let you know as soon as possible.

Feel free to contact us should you need our assistance, we are here to
help.

Regards,

Mary

I didn't want to start a thread just to whine about these but I have a two tournament ideas:
1) 30r WSOP satellites currently go from 600-1200 blinds to 1k-2k blinds. WTF? Can we get 800-1600 please?
2) The Saturday $300+20 tournament has significantly worse structure than the Wednesday one. Can we get it switched over?
