Now that i have your attention...

I see a lot of people grinding the 180mans with success! I think a lot of people like the format and structure of this tournament. I also do not think there is any question that they are profitable and full of fish!

To get to my point! I think it would be awesome to see 25+2 180mans on PokerStars

If you would like to see this, lets send some emails to support! Here is a poorly written one if you are lazy

Hello and good day,

I really enjoy playing in your 180man turbo tournaments, and I am writing to suggest the adding of more turbo 180man tournaments! Please consider adding a $25+2 tournament of this same structure!

Thank you for your consideration

Sincerely
Your name Here

Good idea, I will do this. There is a clear gap in the 180 turbos between the $11+1s and the $35+3s.

However, don't you think that the low buyin is perhaps one of the reasons why these tourneys are full of fish?

This will be bad imo, and won't end the way you might think it would. If you're really interested in that buyin level, go to FTP and play the $26 90 man KOs. The Stars ones are already A)Infested by regs who mass multitable them for profit and TLB points and B)The fish factor in the fields are thinned out quite a bit due to the amount of buyins there are. The higher you go up, the harder it is for them to fill. The 36 180s take forever as it is, to fill.

Nice av, iris.

You play a lot of $12 180s, right, what are your thoughts on 'em?

I'm confused - if there were 25+2s, it seems like the 10s would get a better fish %age? Or at worst the same. Either the regs play them all either way or they drop some 10s for 25s.

ty ...love this band!

I think there will be the same issue with how long they take to register. I sometimes play the $22 normal speed and even those take a while. I really don't think ps wants another tourney taking up space that would eventually fall by the way-side.

The $12's are nice because they fill up so fast and the $36 are good because its a nice chunk to add to the BR if you take it down. The 25 would be a 36 with less money to be won. Personally, I would rather play the 12-180, 36-180, and smaller MTTs with higher buy ins for variance.
