IF they allow us to take $T if you have more than one ticket and you don't have to play that week I'm all for it. If they make me play that week then no way.

I really see no reason why we would have to actually play the Sunday million at all though since we can withdraw for $T under every other satellite system.

OH and fpp entry for sure.

NO

This I disagree with. IMO, the first time you come through this steps system you should get a non - transferable ticket to the target event. So, while you would not need to play the million that week - you would have to play it at some stage. And what I would like to see is that if you defer entry that week, the first steps qualifier you win the following week forced you to have another ticket. So that if you are grinding these you are building up at least one million entry per week.

Thereafter, winnings are allocated as $T. I am all for a steps system that gets more low buyin players in the big game first and foremost. I am not for steps system that is solely there for you to grind $T.

You would still be able to do that if you wish - but the million has to be getting some of the money pumped in if this is to be something I support.


And I imagine Stars feel the same way.

This would be awesome, but I don't think $T should be given for the first sunday seat.

Seems like Stars isn't going with what the huge majority of their players want this time.

Rest assured that I read most threads in MTTc, particularly ones that mention PokerStars or PokerStars tournaments.

Million Steps aren't planned at this time. Compared to big ticket events like the APPT, PCA, the WSOP, etc... the Sunday Million is quite inexpensive. Also, there are tons of ways to get to the Million; many hundreds of satellites run per week.


All the best,

I would have liked a steps system to go ahead for the million - but it needs to be understood that the users of 2+2 are nowhere near a "huge majority" of the stars playing base.

This is unfortunate. As a STT grinder looking to eventually move to MTTs I've never played a Sunday Million.

With a steps system in place I'd be playing every Sunday.

I'm pretty confident that the huge majority of non 2+2ers would have wanted these as well. Are you suggesting otherwise?

As I said already on this forum - I think a steps system to the million would have a huge uptake. But the majority of the playing base doesn't post here; doesn't even know that such websites exist - and, as such, I think it is arrogant and misleading to say that a couple of threads on MTTC asking for something is representative of a "Huge Majority" of the playing base.

I can guess that they would want this. But I couldn't prove it.

El oh el!

I think it's a pretty safe guess.

2+2ers don't want this so they can play against nothing but other 2+2ers.

I think it's also equally safe to say that even if some players DIDN'T want steps to the Millions that they likely wouldn't mind them if they existed.
