They tried both the $40 and $75 sit and goes, and said the $75 was much better, because the players didn't get crazy like they did in the $40 ones.

With the $40 ones (which awards 1 seat), you also only have a 1 in 10 chance of winning, but with the $75 ones (which awards 2 seats), you have a 1 in 5 chance of winning a seat.

You also get more chips in the $75 one, and you save 5 bucks over 2 $40 events.

I found that you can also be a tad more patient in the $75 ones (I tried just one $40 one) over the $40 ones.

Thanks Cincy on this. I was certain I was going to play the $75 vs. $40 just because the expectation of hitting the qualifier is 2x. I didn't remember getting more chips as well. No brainer, isn't it?

BTW, I was told when I asked, that they tried to add a 3rd flight for the ME, but that the Colorado Gaming commission turned them down, as being too short notice.

As a result, the ME will be 11 handed per table, with 14 tables, and with 2 flights, that will only allow for a total of 308 players (154 each flight) for the ME, because the demand right now, is looking like it's going to be intense for the ME.

The way it looks now, the qualifiers will indeed sell out quickly, so it might behoove you to buy directly into the qualifiers as soon as you can (I already have done so, for at least one of them, on Monday, October 8th, at 6:30 pm).

A really dumb question here, but since they are limited in the number of qualifier they will have, I'm sure that also limits the satellites they can hold, right? Thus, it behooves you to get their early for the SNG's.
