One limited buyin event coming up. Right now!!

We just filled one (180 people) in no time. But another automatically spawned. There's another one starting right now. Go to Tourneys -> All -> and then sort by date (most recent at the top). You'll see. The current one filling (at 10:10 PM Eastern time 10/21) is 14093597.

Rock on, people.

Heh, sounds like you have created a monster here.

Good job. I think both kinds of MTTs have a place in a poker room. I know that I and others have sometimes not signed up for a Pokerstars MTT since we don't have 5-6 hours to spare and that is the time you have to put aside for a normal Stars MTT.

I have one crazy idea. I love playing in tournaments and remember the days on pokerstars of 100-300 people(about 3-4 years ago) in 10 dollar, 20, 50 and up tournaments.

Have a promotion of 100-300 player SNG's. ie. between 10:00-11:00 on a Tuesday night on the main tournament page have 20+2 200 player max. as soon as one fills up start another one until 11:00 p.m. hits. You can do this with Various buys-in and Various Max. Players. Does anyone else think this would be a good and fun idea?

This is a great idea. I'd much rather play a tourney with 400 or less people rather than the 1000-1500 normally found.

Best idea yet. Will probably never happen... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Very nice, best of luck with them.
Many of us were fed up with the mamouth multis, we'll enjoy these ones a lot, also because it is not always about getting rich in one shot...

The one down-side, if it can be called one is that since they are "Sit&Go" events, they don't qualify for TLB points. Perhaps we could evaluate that though.

I think that the fields are big enough to consider them tournaments for TLB points. Although there are few, there still are *some* regular MTTs that do not reach 180 players.

I'm not sure I like idea #3 - what if you're typing in a 1500 reraise in a SNG, but the table loses focus for a cash game where you raise allin when you really wanted to fold... I'm pretty sure I'd be breaking things the second time I do that.

Why take the focus away from a table where the player is being prompted to act?

Apparently they're only available in the evenings. I couldn't find any earlier, but I'm playing one now
