Default Stars WSOP Satellites

Honestly, the selection of small buyin satellites for bigger tourneys is pitiful.

There are 6 - $2 Rebuys to the $33R- 3 in the morning, 3 in the evening.

There are 4 - $5.50 Rebuys to the $160DS- 1 in the morning, 3 in the evening.

There are 59 $16 DS Every day, like one every 15 mins!! Am I the only one who doesn't want to have to win 2 SNG's back-to-back to get anything?

I know there has also been requests for more $80 Sats to the $650 Super as well. There aren't any Sats to this $80 tourney. A $3 or $4 Rebuy would work well to this tourney.

I am sure many other players like myself(primarily cash game players) are trying to build a $W roll on Stars to play bigger Sats, or to buy into smaller events directly with $W. This process is going to be painfully long if I can only 1 table the small buyin sats at a time.

Maybe some $3 SNG's to the $33R would work
Or $6 SNG's with top 2 to the $33R
Some $8 SNG's to the $80 Sat?

Also maybe the $2 and $5.50 Rebuys could start like every half hour in the evening. The $2R have been EASILY getting 200 people every tourney.

The main thing is I would like to be able to AT LEAST 4 table these Sats at a time for it to be worth my time.

Anyone else have any ideas?

its fun when u waste 3hours in a double shootout have the guy down to 600 chips and lose 7 all ins in a row (STEALING THE BLIND INBETWEEN) with the better hand 5 times
I love double shootouts

I agree with you totally. More small buy-in rebuy turbos and less shoot-outs. Those are my favourites on Sundays when I'm qualifying for the Warm-up and the Million.

After all, these are satellites to MTTs, right? Why run so many STTs to an MTT? Also, the $2R and $5.50R only take about 1.5 hrs, so they're shorter than the DS's. Maybe Stars doesn't want to have too many non-raked tourneys like the $2R, but these are feeders to the larger tourneys.

It would be nice to have more qualifiers on Sunday. Not having an excuse to not cut the grass is really inconvenient.

2 dollar rebuys are within my bankroll but a 33 dollar rebuy is not. I would like to see more 5 or 10 dollar satellites to bigger satellites for the WSOP

More $30 Rebuys with seat garunteed these are money! But they only run two, one at 3:00pm and the other at 11:30pm. So if you live on normal person hours you cant really play either. I end up missing class during the day or im up until 4am at the FT.

I also noticed the SNG tab under the WSOP tab is empty. A few suggestions for SNG sats (9 players):

$23+2 to $160 DS
1st $160 DS seat
2nd $24
3rd $23

$80+8 to $650
1st $650 seat
2nd $70

$40+4 to $320
1st $320 seat
2nd $40

I really hate those $16 DS. I'd play a lot more SNG sats if Stars ran em!
