Default Pokerstars

I seem to remember Pokerstars having many more $10-$20 buyin tournies in the past. Maybe I am mistaken, but it seems more and more the evening (in US) tournies are $30, $50 and more. How about at least 1 $10 or $20 tourney a night? They are getting over 200 players now in the Sunday night $20 tournies. Who here votes for some lower buy ins in the evening on Pokerstars? They could rotate $10 and $20 every other night IMO.

My cut-off is somewhere around $20, but I will play $11NLH 2-table sats. I don't think there is enough $33+ hold'em tournies during the US day.

If you get enough players that want something, I think PS would get it on.

It seems that PS wants over 100 players, and it must not hurt a tournament already going in that time slot, to plug a new tournament in to the schedule.

It seems to me that a lower buy-in nightly tournament would attract a great deal of players. It also seems like with the amount of entries now they could run multitable tournaments ever half hour. Maybe rotate a 30 or 50 with a 10 or 20? Leaving the 100's where they are?
That being said, what is the opinion as to how stong the top 18 promotion is? Do people expect the size of fields to remain basically the same... or get smaller? I'm sure I'm probably alone in this, but I question just how good the promotion has been for PokerStars?
I know for myself personally that the time I spend playing online is allmost all tournaments now. Rarely am I playing ring game anymore. It seems to me that what the site has gained in tourny players in the end it is breaking even at best reguarding what his has lost in rake in the ring games.
I also can't beleive they opened the 2-4 PL Holdem. This is something I'm excited to see.... but the 1-2 PL Holdem was turning into a bad game after only 2 months. How long can the 2-4 possible last?
