The satelittes for the apat live events are very poorly structured in my opinion.the apat league offers players 3000 chips with 15 min blinds , for a very good price of 11$. This satellite to live events is double the price at 22$.You receive a paltry 2000 chips and the blinds are only 12 minutes in duration.If , during the first 36 mins , you receive no playable hands or opportunities to steal , you are likely to be down to say 1750 or 1800 chips. level 4 with bl 50 100 , now starts and your faced with a raise of 300 from an active player .you have tc td .you reraise to 800 , and now you cant fold.the structure offers no chances to make any moves , offers little opportunity to play any poker & simply does not offer value.888.com / apat could do well to look at lengthening the blinds and increasing stack sizes.3000 chips with a longer clock would be far fairer and offer a poker game rather , than a 22$ punt.satellites are not sit and gos after all.moan over.gl all on the tables ah :as:
