PokerStars Removes both 0,55$ & 1,10$ Bounty Builder Tournaments

[fundiver199]

Couldn't have introduced games in the micros like the previous ones , but with smaller or far smaller prizepools ?? I think again many players would play them , and they wouldn't have overlays , such games do exist in other poker rooms .

PokerStars still have plenty of 1,1$ PKO tournaments, they are just not called "bounty builder". But I sort of fail to see, why thats a big deal. Its just a name, and recently the structure for "bounty builder" was changed anyway making them 8-max tournaments, shortening late registration and allowing two reentries. So "bounty builder" now is not even the same as, it was a few month ago. Here is a list of the 1,1$ tournaments, you can play on PokerStars today with starting times listed as Central European Time:

10:45: 1,1$ Progressive KO 6-max turbo 500$ guarantied
11:40: 1,1$ Progressive KO 9-max turbo 500$ guarantied
13:20: 1,1$ Progressive KO 9-max regular 1.000$ guarantied
14:00: 1,1$ 9-max regular 250$ guarantied
15:15: 1,1$ 9-max regular 1.000$ guarantied
16:15: 1,1$ Progressive KO 9-max turbo 1.000$ guarantied
16:40: 1,1$ 9-max regular 1.000$ guarantied
17:40: 1,1$ Zoom 9-max turbo 500$ guarantied
18:25: 1,1$ 6-max regular 750$ guarantied
21:30: 1,1$ 9-max regular 1.000 player cap 750$ guarantied
23:20: 1,1$ Progressive KO 9-max regular 2.000$ guarantied

So a bit for every taste really just not the featured formates like Bounty Builder, Big or Hot. And in top of that you can always get into some 1$ 45-180 SnGs, if you want more action

Thanks fundiver , but I have the feeling the GTD prizepool is far less than it used to be in the past , when I play for $1 I want big GTD , as I am not good player and with small bankroll , so if ITM I desire a good score

55c seems better for my skills and bankroll , satellites at these stakes <$1

my bankroll allows me to play1$ tourneys but I do not dare , some on ACR sometimes , when they offer big promotions and big GTDs for $1.10 or $2.20 , their ACR veryday $1.50 tourney for GTD $1500 is better than almost all PStourneys nowadays , lol

Hopefully there just making changes and they will be back shortly once they are done with what every there doing. Poker stars is not a company that makes stupid moves.

You're trollololololing here, right?

The guaranties are smaller, because less people play. But that is actually mostly a good thing, because it makes it easier to reach the final table and win the big prices - even if they are then a bit smaller. You make it sound like, you regularly final table in MTTs with 1.000+ participants. But thats simply not the case. And unless you final table, the size of the price pool does not matter, since the smaller prices are always the same relative to the buyin.

With all that being said if you find good tournaments on other sites than PokerStars then by all means play them. I have never said, Stars is the best place to play MTTs. In fact I have always said the opposite, at least until you reach mid stakes and/or if you are a heavy volume grinder, who wants to play 10+ tables at the same time. If neither of that apply to you, then one obvious disadvantage of Stars is, that they charge 20% more rake for micro and low stakes MTTs than any other site. But thats a different topic and has nothing to do with their game selection or the size of the guaranties.
