Stars has STEPS SNGs to the PCA

[MicroBob]

right, there's the premediated-with-intent kind and then there's the kind where the main insitgator is so ignorant he probably doesn't even know that telling the whole table to play in such a way is actually not legal.

I agree that Stars' policy of cancelling the chat near the bubble is excellent. I had a situation in a Party tournament many moons ago where a couple of players were telling the entire table what they needed to do. I don't think the people realized that they weren't allowed to talk about such things.
Obviously disabling the chat-feature could have prevented stuff like that.

I definitely think it's good that Stars has done the same thing for their steps just to avoid any possibility of, "you don't have to play any more hands and you can still make it in" and other weird stuff like that.

So am I right in thinking that if you win multiple seats and are over 21 that it will basically = a WSOPME seat, and stars will not be able to directly buy in a player. So when a player gets the WSOPME seat he gets paid cash and has to register himself?

Alot of these problems would be fixed by NOT ALLOWING SOMEONE TO WIN MULTIPLES.

If you can only win 1 seat the Sat farmers would go away.

Is the goal to get more people to the PCA or to have people win Multiple seats?

I think the current goal is to make stars alot of money on the rake...

Out of curiousity I watched one of the final step sngs last night... alot of big name players are clearly buying into the last step to prey on the soft competition... I don't follow this scene much but I easily recognized 5 or 6 of the players names... hopefully, (although I'm doubtful) pokerstars will do something to limit the satilitte players exposure to these kinds of sharks...

Also, I would really like to see some 1 table sit and gos at the highest level... I would like, like many other players, to have the potential to cycle back into the steps instead of having an 1 in 6, all or nothing, shot at winning a seat after investing as much time as it takes to work your way up to the highest level (if I ever get to that point)...

Stars is going to create a 1 table Level 6. 1st pays PCA prize package and 2-7 will pay $$$

So, when the PCA starts and sattys end, what happens to the people still with tickets

They are likely to get rolled over into the next Steps promotion, which is probably the WSOP.

The level 6s would barely ever launch then, is that preferrable to you? The complaints about L6s are just so stupid, as is first off not all of those "name" players are even +ev in the tournament, 2nd the actual edge possible in that tournament isnt that high. It's laughable that people talk about the L6 shark tanks and then want a flatter payout, aka the sng pros edge gets even larger.

stars said they would make a 1 table final step? THat is nice. Anny idea on the payouts?
