Stars T$/W$ System and Satellites
OK, I have a gripe that I just need to get off my chest. Look at your PokerStars Tourney lobby at any point during the day. Look at how many friggin satellites are running.
Thats a good thing, right? Of course it is. Satellites are excellent. So whats the problem? Stars employs a T$/W$ system for their satellites - similar to how the WSOP will have satellites and issue WSOP lammers. Why on God's green earth do there need to be 30+ MTT satellites each hour - not even counting the SNG ones. If you're going to stick with a T$/W$ system, all you need to do is this: Have SNGs or MTTs for a certain amount of T$. Simple. There's no need to have specific satellites into 20 different daily events - they all use the same exact currency. The main culprit is the WCOOP satellites running right now. Is it really necessary to have different satellites to each $215 NL event? Why not just have... :03 - $2 buy-in, $22 T$/lammer :13 - $6 buy-in, $55 T$/lammer :23 - $11 buy-in, $109 T$/lammer :33 - $22 buy-in, $215 T$/lammer :43 - $55 buy-in, $535 T$/lammer etc Thats all. No need to market them as satellites for certain events if you're not going to force the satellite winners to play them. What really *should* be happening if you want satellites for specific tournaments is you force play of the 1st seat and then give out T$/W$ for any additional seats (or just cash...), similar to FullTilt. I just find it pretty annoying. The system is flawed the way it is currently setup. Its similar to the WSOP ME - less fish are going to actually play an event if they know they can simply choose not to play and receive that much in $. tl/dr = Either run tournaments w/ specific T$ prizes rather than to specific tournaments to eliminate clutter (and to allow the actual SNG satellites to fill up 20x quicker) or force play of the first satellite seat won. |

Re: Stars T$/W$ System and Satellites
the sats need to be for specific events. fishies don't play sats for T$/W$, they play for an entry into a big tournament where they could win thousands. it's selling the dream.
the only real problem with the system is that there are just too many running too close together. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree. The point is that you should be forced to play the first seat you win. |

I've been asking for the 1st seat rule forever.

Re: Stars T$/W$ System and Satellites
i disagree with the first seat rule. it is better to decide if you wanna play. but i agree that will be better if they are more specific and will fill up faster i think

Re: Stars T$/W$ System and Satellites
I agree, if you don't give the Sat. a target, the fish will not play... What is more appealing, "$10 rebuy to Sunday Million" or "$10 rebuy for $215 $T"? I think thats obv.

Re: Stars T$/W$ System and Satellites
apparently the problem with your ideas, dmk, is that no one understands them :P.
I like either the idea of the first seat won being mandatory, or the idea of generic satellite tourneys. Those would fill up much faster and more consistently. |

Re: Stars T$/W$ System and Satellites
First seat rule fails totally if say:
I win a seat monday and on Friday I find out I have to work sunday. Oops I lose 215 bucks. I'd be more in favor for tickets that are sellable, but the system right now is more than fine; always improvable, but fine. |
