Note: Stars Rebuy Players - 3, 5, and 10 now 90 Minute rebuy Periods/10 Minute Levels

WECpoker

PokerStars has changed its rebuy structure for at least the $3 $5 and $10 rebuys starting today to include a 90 minute rebuy period and 10 minute Levels

Pretty stupid idea IMO..I think they will change it back quick because Im guessing that many people who plays these regularly will stop playing with this structure

Just my guess

Wow yeh that sounds terrible 1hr rebuy and 15 minute levels was an excellent structure. If they have both formats its not so bad. Should be plenty of action in the new structure you aren't going to be able to sit back and wait for someone to open shove into your big hands any more.

Played the $70k 10+1 with this new structure last night. First impressions were that I'm not too keen on it. I think an hour was just about right for the rebuy period. Didn't mind the 10 min levels so much in the early stages but they really start to bite after the 2 hour mark.

The 70K has been 10 minute levels for several months, but they added the 90 minute period yesterday

I have always loved that MTT but the 10 minute levels made me like it a little less since it just became a shove fest if you got real deep (although for east coast USA players it ended a little earlier for them). I still did OK. I really dislike the 90 minute thing...

Not only does it not personally fit my game, after thinking about it, I think it will eliminate some of the better players for this game (the guys who one shot it or make limited rebuys may slowly stop playing when they figure out it isnt good for them) and leave more of the big bankroll sharks.

I definitely think it is a plus move if you have a lot of money to push around and can take the larger variance.

This change also applies to the some of the rebuy Satellites, for example the $100+9 EPT event rebuys.
And I have to agree the 90min of rebuys is totally crap. And I doubt I'll play them any more.

It makes it very difficult (near impossible) to treat them as a 1buyin + 1rebuy + 1topup kind of game.

Just a gamblefest for those with deep pockets.

i don't agree here they have shortened the levels but they have added lots of new levels reminds me of the full tilt structure.......................it has 40/80 125/250 and a few more pretty good in my eyes.....................jst back from the break now and avg stack is 11k and blinds are 125/250 25

and now 175/350 25 this is even a new level for me and i am a structure nit

WECpoker

It does seem they have added several new blind levels to make it better

But, do we really need 90 minute rebuy periods


Maybe I will change my mind about it...only time will tell

hmm.. maybe a nice time to add some LSMTTs to the grind-schedule. any decent player has a massive edge here obv.. 90 mins means lots of moola in the pool. )I can maybe forgive the stars rng for being so bad if these are fat.)
