So i just played in a $2 nl 2-7 wcoop proving grounds tournament for 8 hours where stars is testing their tournament structures for the wcoop events that are new and they are requesting feedback about them. I wrote stars an email where I find the bottom to be really interesting in terms of suggestions and if you like the idea you should email them about it too.
| | Hey guys I just played in your $2 wcoop proving grounds tournament semi-regretfully because I didn't see what I was getting myself into. I played for 8 hours straight and came in 8th place after eventually getting frustrated and actually getting it in with the best although I know it was misplayed. First of all, I realize that most of the feedback you're probably gonna get here is mostly worthless because it's a $2 tournament however if there is some way you can check my history you can see that I'm a winner and have a huge huge amount of experience playing even if I never made the big times.
With all of that said the structure of your tournament is sick. It's really geared in such a deepstack way that I'm pretty sure you're gonna see only really high quality players @ your final table. This is really good in my opinion but I think at the same time you're gonna see a 18+ hour tournament which would be very acceptable in say a $5k buyin tournament but for a $215 tournament I think that this is really bad. If that's something that you guys are going for I guess it's fine but I'm pretty sure you know your time windows and how long approximately things should last. In my own opinion as a poker player 12 hours is grueling and probably sufficient and anything after that should start to be considered for multiple day events.
Just my own two cents on the whole situation
gl with your wcoop and you guys should run wcoop main event proving grounds for like $100 or something cause I love deepstacked tournaments and I know I have huge edges there.
Actually, What if you guys ran tournaments that started @ the same identical time to every wcoop event with the same structures but on a much smaller scale buyin wise. Like instead of $215 how about $21.50 or something along those lines. I think that would be really actually quite attractive to most of the microstakes guys in a contrast similar to the sunday 200g and the sunday million. You could even add competitions with prizes based on TLB scores in the regular and smaller buyin tournaments for the entire series which also would be _extremely_ cool and probably promote some revenue as guys who normally wouldn't play in a razz tournament might find himself in it just to scrape together some points.
I love you guys at stars and you're awesome

setting goals in poker is pretty worthless imo, just play play play and see what you get |

oh and smaller "clone" events to the big ones is a terrible idea for anyone affording to play in the big ones. Alot of satteliting fish that would otherwise be in them will play the smaller events and that just sucks monkeyballs |

I don't think it would make that much difference cause most of the fish who play in big tournaments will anyway IE the sunday million |

like the sunday million is on sunday when there are hundreds of tournaments.
i doubt someone would pick a $20 instead of a $215 the difference is too big |
