something new :)

PokerStars pranešimas 2plus2:

PokerStars is pleased to announce comprehensive changes to Sit & Go Tournament offerings. The lobby display, blind structures, variety offered, and buy-in/rake have changed for many Sit & Go Tournaments. New Hyper-Turbo cash Sit & Go’s are also being tested at the $5 buy-in level.

Many of these changes are a direct result of player feedback over the past months. Thanks to all players who offered their thoughts and suggestions.

Lobby Display

There are two new columns in the Sit & Go lobby: “Speed” and “Type”.

The Speed column tells you if the tournament has a faster blind structure, either Turbo or Hyper-Turbo.

The Type column identifies Fifty50, Knockout, Heads-up, Satellite and other special tournament types. The Type column also includes icons identifying tournaments with fewer than 7 seats per table.

The changes to the Lobby Display will be available with the May update to the PokerStars client. Mac users will be able to download the updated client today. The Windows version will be available sometime next week.

Improved Variety

A wider variety of buy-ins is now available for many popular tournament types. A few new combinations of tournament type and game speed are also available. Tournaments that were rarely or never played in the past have been removed from the lobby to help players find opponents more easily.

Hyper-Turbos

In direct response to player requests, PokerStars is introducing $5 Hyper-Turbo Sit & Go Tournaments for a trial period. The new Hyper-Turbos feature 500 chip starting stacks and 2-minute levels. These extremely short tournaments are a good match for players who have limited time or like a lot of all-in action. For now, these tournaments are available in 6 -handed, 9-handed, and Heads-up formats for both No-Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha.

Buy-Ins

All non-satellite Sit & Go’s now have standardized buy-ins. Players can choose from $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, $30, $50, $100, $200, $300, $500, $1000, $2000, and $5000 buy-in tournaments. Not every Sit & Go type is available at every buy-in, but the buy-ins offered match player demand for each tournament type.

Rake Consistency

Rake for Sit & Go tournaments has been re-evaluated and set to be more consistent. Variations between the rake charged at various tournament/game types have been eliminated. types in different game types. Now, single table non-satellite Sit & Go’s reliably charge less rake for tournaments with fewer entrants and tournaments with faster blinds structures. Some rakes have increased and others decreased, but taken as a whole the rake for Sit & Go Tournaments is very slightly decreased.

The above graphs are specific to No-Limit Hold’em because the line representing ‘Old’ rake would be different for some game types. The ‘New’ line, however, is consistent across all games.

Improved and Standardized Blind Structures

Blind structures for No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha have been improved and standardized. A few NLHE and PLO tournaments that were deployed with unique blind structures in the past have now been brought into line.

All NLHE and PLO S&G structures now have shorter blind levels and smaller blind increases per level. All Turbo speed single-table tournaments have 3-minute levels while all regular speed tournaments now have 6-minute levels. Despite the shorter levels, the tournaments will last a similar amount of time overall, as the blinds will increase by a smaller amount than previously (The new blind structure has no levels where the blinds double). The table below shows an example of the change, with the old and new levels side-by-side.

nebera 2.20 turbo???? jau antra karta siemet panaikina pokerio rusi kai tik susiruosiu ja grindinti full time... mazafakers

tuoj pradesiu mastyti apie perejima i Sasyka Poker, nes dabar starsai suka rake didinimo keliu, sumazejo pajamos jiems, bet panasu i tai, kad savo islaidu mazint nenori, todel visa amerikonu netekimo kruvi uzmes ant musu.. basterds

1.15 turbo 180man ir 3.32 turbo 180man sudejus gaunas $4.47, todel mixuot neapsimoka lyginant su ankstesniais 2.20. Losiant du 3.32 gaunasi 6.64, kai anksciau losiant tris 2.20 gaudavosi tik 6.60... Svolociai sukele rake ir kuom tai bus paaiskinta? Pabrango serveriu nuoma? Pffft...

Ir hu sng struktura pasikeite. Man senesne reg speed struktura patiko labiau.

ner ko pergywent del rake.. bendrai paemus rake'as kaip ir sake shiek tiek sumazhejo, tik didesnes problemos micro grinderiam, kur rake padidintas nes jis reikalingesnis staram yra nei high limitu rake'as (del rakeback). bus paskatinimas greiciau kilt limitais )

man struktūra geresnė Tik, kad loadinasi žymiai lečiau.

Mixinu 3 ir 5

Tai aisku, kad reikas mazesnis, nesuprantu panikos. As beje irgi esu rases afigenai ilga traktata supportui su pasiulymais 180man'u tema. Siuliau keisti buyinus pradedant nuo 4/180 ir daryti turbinius, kadangi srautas apgailetinas tiems kuriems rolas leidzia lipt auksciau. Tikejausi ispesti panasu rezultata kaip 2/180. Matau kad gavos kaip visada, pernelyg sokiruojantys pokyciai:)) bet vistiek geriau negu buvo, bentjau man.

gal gali kas paaiskint, dabar turbo bus su 3min leveliais, bet ir blindai pradzioj mazi yra, tai viskas gaunas kaip ir buvo anksciau ar viskas tampa labiau deep?

Gaunasi tas pats

EDIT: NUO 300/600 avg buna under 10bb late stage daugiau tarpinių reiktų idėti:)

Nesigauna tas pats. Labai jau shallow stacks, grinderiams manau tiks, nes viskas grynai icm tapo

Tikrai del tu 3 minuciu leveliu stackas dingsta labia staigiai, nepastebi net kai jau lieki 10BB, po to iskart 5BB ( nes taip greitai keiciasi blindai, kad praleisi koki pusha ir ner stacko jau - o pushina visi pastoviai, labai sunku momenta rasti , ypac greitai stackas dingsta po 50/100 dabar ).Krc sunkiau zymiai zaisti kai atrodo daugigiau leveliu, bet po 3 minutes, negu buvo standartiniai mazai leveliu, bet nors 5 minutes, gali islaukti momenta,apskaicioti, dabar gi nieko neapskaiciosi, kas nors patampis laika ir gg.

O del rake kaip gi geriau ? Buvo pvz sng 9man 15+1 ( 15:1 santykis ) o dabar 10+0,85 ( 11,7:1 santykis ) ir visur kitur tas pats pasidare, prizai sumazejo. Pvz SNG 180man 12$ buvo, dabar 10,85, beveik nieko nepasikeite, bet prizai uz 1-3 vieta stipriai sumazejo, tikrai minusas tai ( loshiam gi del 1-3 vietos ).

buy in sumažėjo, tai akivaizdu,kad prizai sumažėjo...arba netaip supratau tavo nusiskundimą

gi % tokie patys, ar ne?

Na mokejai pvz 12$ ir uz 1 buvo 596$ ( dabar 540 ), uz 2 buvo 396 ( dabar 360 ) ir t.t. Norejau pasakyti kad jai pliusoji, tai pofig 11$ ar 12$ buy in, uztat 1-3 vietos prizai stipriai skiriasi, o rake beveik toks pat liko.

SNG 9man tas pats, jai tu pliusoji tai tau naudingiau zaisti 15+1 negu 10+0,85 sutinki ? Ar as kazko nesuprantu

tai kaip suprantu, % apmokėjimas liko tas pats..prie ko čia tada argumentas dėl sumažėjusio apmokėjimo prizinių?

o dėl rake'o tai nieko nežinau, nes ps nelošiu ir neįdomu man

Absurdas! Ka jie dabar pasieke? Buvo 2 ir 7 doleriu 180manai, visi zaide pagrinde juos; dabar isskaide visa fielda po desimtis detalesniu turnyru ir to pasekoje puse valandos laukiu kol susirinks 180 zmoniu i 3.32, apie aukstesnius buy in net nera kalbos, ten pora zmoniu sedi valanda laiko ir niekas nesiregina... Dabar greiciausiai besirenkantis yra 1.15, bet ir jis renkasi daug leciau nei ankstesni 2.20 todel apie multitablinima padoru nera ne minties... Gal cia kaltas ankstyvas paros laikas, bet ir po juodojo penktadienio 2.20 180 taip letai nesirinkdavo kaip dabar.
