Updated SCOOP Schedule + New Promotion

With the recent Poker Black Friday, PokerStars has been forced to adjust the guarantees and tinker with the schedule a bit. Here are the tournament I plan to play and possibly play:
Sunday May-08 Event 02 NL Hold’em Low: $22 Med: $215
Monday May-09 Event 05 NL Hold’em [Turbo, Rebuys] Low: $11
Tuesday May-10 Event 08 NL Hold’em [Turbo] Low: $11 Med: $109
Friday May-13 Event 15 NL Hold’em [2X Chance, Turbo] Low: $16.50
Sunday May-15 Event 19 NL Hold’em Low: $22 Med: $215
Sunday May-15 Event 20 NL Hold’em Low: $22 Med: $215
Tuesday May-17 Event 26 NL Hold’em [Turbo] Low: $11 Med: $109
Sunday May-22 Event 38 NLHE Main Event Low: $109

Possibly
Monday May-09 Event 04 FL Badugi Low: $16.50
Monday May-16 Event 23 PL Omaha [Turbo, 1 Rebuy, 1 Add-on] Low: $11
Sunday May-20 Event 31 NL Hold’em [1 Rebuy, 1 Add-on] Low: $22

That would be over $500 in buy-ins

PokerStars is also running a 50% Reload this bonus up until the start of SCOOP which clears at a 20x rate and will expire at the end of May.

They have also reformatted some of their daily guarantees into The Daily Bigs. To promote this name change, if you play one of the buy-in types 3 times, you will be credited for a SCOOP ticket worth that buy-in value. Not too shabby if you get the $11 + $22 + $55 + $109 SCOOP tickets, thats a $197 value!

Hopefully I have some run good going my way :) I Need it!
