Don't participate in the promotion then. If you make top 100 just sit out when they do the freeroll.

BECAUSE THIS IS THE OBVIOUS ATTITUDE TO TAKE WHEN WEBSITES HAVE BOGUS PROMOTIONS.

Don't mean to be dickish here, but Stars doesn't HAVE to give us jack sheit. Any promotion they have is a good promotion, because the alternative is NO promotion.

i'm playing tournaments in the first place as my main poker income so i'm happy to get some freerolls for decent prizes since you usually get nothing. If I played tournaments casually, I wouldn't go out of my way to play this, but still very nice of stars.

I love the fact that they are doing some different things promotion-wise, but I don't like the fact that a ton of money is being shelled out in this way (targeting a specific poker demographic- the tournament players).

90% awesome + 10% suck =/= bogus. I like complaining too, but come on.

Um what point of my post did you not get? Top 100 certainly has value but 101+ sucks, which I'm stating. No idea why you would tell me to sitout if I make top 100.

It's basically a 25kish prizepool for the rest of the people, meaning 101-201 gets like a $250 buyin tourny with some of the toughest other MTTers (at least in volume), 201-500 gets about a $85 buyin, and $50 for the last group. Hardly a promotion worth playing at all. 2+2 used to appreciate calculating EV of promotions, guess not anymore.

Edit: This promotion would be so much more awesome if it was just a huge freeroll where top 1k players play for like 20-25 seats and let them do the 10% thing. I think it would actually attract more people to play and be easier to advertise FWIW.
