HU SnG's - Suggestion for PokerStars / FullTilt

MxGucci · #1 11-13-2007, 06:27 PM

I personally think both Pokerstars and Fulltilt are missing out on a huge opportunity when it comes to HU sng's. They need to make these more revealing for the ordinary joe.

I think they should have a "REMATCH" option at the end of a HU sng. If both players click on this "REMATCH" button, it automatically would register you into the same buy-in level of another HU sng, and your new table will open. I say, bring the "REMATCH" option and let the winner freeroll into a tilt session with his opponent and increase his profit levels.

I also would suggest they bring on the HU SHOOTOUTS (TURBO) version.

Pokerstars over the summer took upon the 16 player and 32 player HU sng's that run 24/7. However, they never fill up past the $10 buy-in level. I loved this idea at first, but after noticing that mainly the $5's fill up, it just was not profitable for me to play in it. I would end up winning 2-3 games to only make a profit of $5-$12 for 1.5 hrs of spending time.

I would suggest they implement a smaller field of a shootout, 8 player shootouts. They should run these in all levels, where top 2 would make the money (1st 62.50% / 2nd 37.50%). This would be real fun!

Anyone have any other suggestions? Let us suggest some more "unique" ideas on how to make HU SnG's more fun and profitable.

8 man turbo shootouts would be pretty sweet.

Like E-crack, I think I'd just play these all day and probably commit suicide during the first downswing.

Rematch button would be great, especially for the lower portion of the high level games (55-220s) where you get a lot of random players just donking around (mtters, hu cash players, sng players).

Perhaps we should start an email petition for the rematch button on Stars/Tilt.

I remember emailing PokerStars back in March for them to implement bigger shootouts for HU SNG's, and in June they came out with the 16/32 player ones, I think the 8 players would be sweet. Top 2 making the money, lots of profit potential up here!

How would we go along with getting our voice heard?

I decided to explain why I don't like the "rematch" button idea. It has to do with what hra posted.

If you are able to trap a uber-fish into more games against you, the fish may not be satisfied with that service, and the fish may decide to discontinue playing HUSNGs. UB is notoriously harder, and I imagine the "rematch" button had something to do with this.

Even if a fish punched the button on me, i would not be pleased. I don't want to be forced to play an extra game when either I need a break, or I have to leave. These things both decrease my edge because I may be tired, really have to go take a dump, or I may not be able to play the next game, sacrificing my money. Fish probably have more of a life than what we have, and a valuable thing for a fish is to be able to play just one game of HUSNG if he so chooses, and then go on to play Razz. That is the life of a fish, and I would not want to upset that desire to play just one. If the "rematch" is instituted, then playing just one, or playing a different kind of opponent is denying the fish these options, increasing the chance of our games drying up.

Do you realize that BOTH players have to hit the rematch button for there to be a rematch?

It sounds like you think that one player's wish turns into an endless amount of husngs where you're trapped at a computer for 48 hours against the same limp/min bettor.

Doesn't actually sound that bad to me.

lol

Yes, that is what I thought. If it works like that, then I am all for it, and change my stance.

I would rather not face off with a min-better for 2 days, since those games take forever. I want to be stuck with the guys that just shove AI with every hand before the flop. Completely brainless, I might be able to last 2 non-stop hours with them.

Yeah I think you assume that if one of the opponents say "rematch" the game just begins. It doesnt work that way. Both of you must accept. I haven't played on UB so I wouldn't know how they go about it, but I am guessing if the winner clicks on "REMATCH" the loser will most likely be prompted a box to ask if they accept/decline.

I understand what your saying about the fish not being satisfied, but no offense, I have seen fish that play more games then I do with an ROI of about -30% just in HU games.
