180 Person $20 SnG... in the Multi-Table tournament tab..

Awesome, just like Party's new smaller field tournaments.

I hope they do more of these.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

go to tourney then date, 1st one on top

Re: New Stars MTT
 

it's pretty cool because this idea spawned from the "Dear Lee Jones" thread in the Zoo.

great customer service.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

yea, Lee Jones is the man, him and a few other Suppor reps post here, and the ones taht come do the deals are pretty cool guys/girls. Can actually have conversations with them.

And they speak English! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: New Stars MTT
 

I meant Party. Do they have anything bigger than 30?

3 rd one just filled up. I asked for them to be run from 10 to 11. I wonder if they are going to stop at 11 tonight.

After a month of dealing with Pacific poker's customer support, PStars has been like a 5 stars hotel treatment. Love it.

Cool format, multi tabling 2 now.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

Wow, i thouoght it was just going ot be one.

If they keep these registering, and do it nightly that would be freaking awesome.
Either way it's awesome, just hope they keep doing it.

5 running right now. new one starting every 7-8 min.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

I just noticed these too. GREAT idea. I've been playing the 3table $10 tourneys, and they added 5 table $10s as well (although these have 10 minute rounds instead of 15). I like these, because I can't start playing until late after kids go to bed and don't always want to stay up until the wee hours.

This is a fabulous idea. Looks like the first one has been running 1.5 hours and has 50 or so left. I'm gessing 3 hours even for FT? Pays 18 places

I'm in. Screw my bankroll. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

These look fun as hell and my campus is dead on a Friday night.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

Look like they stopped for the night. I hope they start up again tomorrow night.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

they gave an announcement
something like

"Our trial run of 20 table tournaments is done for the night, blah blah we might make them permanent.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

I played a few, they rock. I seriously hope they make these permanent.

I missed the announcement, I wouldn't mind if they did it for 2 hours a night for now. I would think that it would be cool if they featured a different buy-in each night.

ie.

Monday 5 +.50
Tuesday 10 +1
Wed. 20 +2
Thusday 30 +3
Friday 50 +5
Saturday 100 +10
Sunday 200 +15 (maybe these would be better of at 10 or 15 tables)

10 to midnight is perfect for me.

Top 10 with 48 left. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Could this be the bankroll building lift I need?

Re: New Stars MTT
 

Was 15 of 30 and playing well. Small stack goes all in I push with AKs to isolate, big stack in SB calls with........33! 33 holds vs my hand and small stacks QT and I'm out.

What's your name on PS? The same? you probably were in the one I'm in.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

It's the same as here. I played several of them. No ITM finish though. Great fun mind you.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

i was 1 for 3 in cashes in these.. should have gotten much higher in the one i cashed in, but i donked my way out.

Hope this becomes regular.

I only played one. came in about 30th. These remind me of the old days at pokerstars when they had tournaments about this size. I just don't have the time to play in 1000+ player tournaments.

I guess there will have to be a new thread on beating these size tournaments. It looks like they complete in about 3 hours.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

Currently at FT of one of these.

Starsname. What tournament ID?

Re: New Stars MTT

Re: New Stars MTT
 

I got 4th for $288. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Huge boost to the bankroll.

How did I go out?

AJ vs QJ. Of course he flops a queen. If not I get third, which is even more money (almost 200 dollars worth). Oh well. Next time.

So much for no bad beats.

I can't see why not. The people seemed to enjoy these. I know I did. I'd love to see them have a $10 one as well.

You hope that donking your way out becomes regular? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: New Stars MTT
 

I missed out on the first round of these. If stars brings them back, they're getting most of my play.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

Did it say when they were going to experiment with these again? Hopefully tomorrow.

Re: New Stars MTT
 

nah didnt say.

I'm 1/1 in them with a 15th place finish. Probably had the final table locked... I was 4th in chips with 18 left and then I bluffed 14k of my stack off on the first hand ITM. Brilliant.
