Hi,

So I'm new-ish to online Poker, played for a few months on and off, but just recently started to get a little more invested in it. I just have a question regarding the amount of players in the $2 SnG Turbo's.

Why is it that sometimes when I join a lobby, it's a 1 table 9 man affair, and other times it's a 9-180 man multi-table situation? I press the same button to join each time, but the game can be different it seems. I'm confused about it.

I ask because if possible I'd prefer to exclusively play the multi-table variant.

Thanks in advance!

Hi CountBiffatron,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

There are filters you can use to select the games you want to see.
When you have them just right, you can add them to your favourites.

In this screenshot, you need to turn on the toggle outlined in green, then set the filters however you wish.
To save them as a favourite, click the button outlined in yellow.

Just in case some global settings affect what you see, here are my lobby settings:

Enjoy,

All the best,
VS

All of this assumes, of course, that you are using the "All Games" tab as seen in the screenshots, which gives you access to the full lobby of games.

Are you using the "Quick Seat" tab instead, by any chance?

There is 9 and 6 handed sit and goes that pay 33% of the field.
There is also multi table sit and goes that play just like normal big tournaments and pay 15 to 20 percent of the field.

With all the restriction globally, tournaments fill up slower than ever before. And with the genius banning of Russian players it became even slower to fill up such multi table tournaments. That's why they made them so they start when 18 men registered and others can just late reg until the late reg time runs out or 180 max. Now, they made them start at 9 instead of 18 so that there are actually tournaments running.

@VorpalF2F @Harrier88

Thank you so much. I was on the "Quick Seat" tab and honestly had no idea how to find those filters! Must be my eyes! The Quick Seat / All Games / Favourites menu is so small as to almost be hidden! Anyway, thanks to the pair of you I've got the filters set correctly and I now see the listings for "On Demand" 9 / 45 / 180 man games.

Appreciate the help, people :)

I've been on PokerStars since 2009, and I don't think I ever paid any attention to the "Quick Seat" tab

Neither did I, but I've landed on it a few times by accident. It may now even be the standard tab right after installing Pokerstars, I think that also happened to me once after some update.

Glad we could help, CountBiffatron. Best of luck in your SNGs. :f_drink:
