Live Event Satellites - this week on APAT!

Pesonally I don"t get it, but since there is at least some interest I"m convinced I mut be missing something.

I find myself asking why I would satellite into something knowing I only get 75% of myself when I could satellite into the same event for a similar stake and get 100% of myself. Where"s the value?

If you play the sat elsewhere and bubble, you get nothing. Play it here and bubble, you get an interest in the sat winner.

I was just going to reply as above about the bubble but was beaten to it.

A UKIPT seat won by a player who is playing well enough to beat you could potentially win you a % of £60K +

If you regularly bubble satellites I guess it"s good value. If you"re very adept at them, then perhaps not?

Aye, it was just a way of spreading the love a bit. And giving the sats. a bit more of a "community" feel. I personally really like the idea of either having a % of the winner, or being able to pass on a % of my winnings to those who finished 2nd to 5th.

Not for everyone though obviously. If the consensus is that it would be better not to offer %s to those who finish behind the seat winner, then happy to make changes for next time.

Personally I like the idea... At the moment it is a cheap way for me to play the bigger tourneys. The percentages don"t really bother me as if I do win it"s a freeroll anyway.. The way I look at is that I am in a tourney for the experience and if that maybe ends up with some money then all is good.. If it means that it is only 75% for me then I"m still happy. I"ll be playing some more of these if they come around again...

I didn"t "get it" at first glance, but the % to the places is a fine community idea. As someone who has sold small parts of himseld on tourneys I satellited into to help with petrol and hotel costs it would limit my selling if I"m only playing for 75% of the prizes. I"d have to give some deeper thought to the issue if/when I bink one. Maybe sharing 25% is a bit much, but it feels as though anything less than 15% is too little given the spirit of the game. Maybe only give three bits to the places?

Thinking as I type here so bear with me. I tend to sell 30% and obviously wouldn"t if that only leaves me less than half the pool. If I sell 30% of 75% the price goes down and that means I have to sell more than 30%

I think the conclusion I"m coming to is that I"d aim to use any buyins on tournaments that I wouldn"t need to sell a piece of. Like the local £100+£10 at G or a decent event at Genting Newcastle. That way I"d still have pretty much the same % of myself as I do now.

Ultimately - it"s a "like" and if they run again soon I"ll try to play them. Could the win be paid in $ for a tournament in say, St Kitts?

Nice brag

Yes, we can pay the entry fee into any equivalent priced tournament. The only requirement really being that the results are posted somewhere so we can check them.

Grrr... missed this as I forgot. Duh. Busy trying to sat into UKIPT on stars.

Like the idea of the multiple seats split % sats. Great if you can get a few going to live tourneys with the 100-200 buy-in.

I also loved the promotion and would like to see it again. Unfortunately I could play only one this time.
And sharing bits and pieces is nice as well, so I wouldn"t change that.

I think it"s a great idea/......but then again, we have been doing this at the BCPC since 2008
