180m mtt now expand the itm from 10% to 15%
cool change it is a good thing for the fish, fish don't like playing the whole hour without getting any money. so 15% itm is a better solution to make them feel less disappointed.
Not sure if I am happy with the change. I guess it costs a few $. Will have to look up the details to give a qualified answer though.
Maybe you can provide the detailed payout structure, so we have something to discuss, without having to look it up in the software

This is probably the first positive feedback I have heard about the payout change.
I don't play them myself, but as I see it the recs doesn't care about min cashing they want a big score, thats why they play, because it's fun for them to make a big score. And the regs are unhappy because the blinds is lower at the bubble, so they can't steal as much from the recs, and after that people call much lighter because they already are itm and it will lead to more marginal spots. So in the end most regs expect lower ROI and some are even planing to boikot them..
If it attracts more fish: Well done Pokerstars!
Still, I am not sure this will happen, since fish initially don't seem to care about structures when they register. Therefore I don't think that it generates much more fish, but that the fish that is going to play them anyways, will stay a little bit longer on average and produce more rake.
No big benefits for regs imo (but big disadvantages when it comes to bubble abuse in lower blind levels and lower top payout). But I might prove wrong - so lets hope for the best
