Please change this SNG to hands per level like all the other sats:

changing late reg in the fpp hyper sats that go off right before the tournaments is a mistake. ex: 2,400 fpp sat to 100r at 11:59. With only 1 minute late reg, no one can reg when they return from breaks, and no one wants to pre reg them and time out the first couple hands/miss 1 minute of break. please either bring them back to 3 minute late reg or start them on the hour

no sats for Sunday Supersonic ??

Also are SCOOP 02-H and 03-H supposed to not have $215/$320 Deadline Sats (I see only $700 deadline) ?

Also can we have earlier antes in $115 for s500 and $82 deep sat for it ?

Have the 210fpp sats to the Sunday Storm been removed? I can't see them where I normally look (SNG>Satellites>FPP) and if I go directly to the Sunday Storm lobby all I can see are 5FPP sats there.

E: In fact, all I can see in the SNG FPP Satellites lobby are SCOOP Mega Path satellites, which I have no interest in playing. Have all others been removed while these sats are running?

Usually the 210 FPP hypers don't run early after the sunday storm has finished. They should be back on in a couple of hours

Ah ok, thanks. I'll look again later.

email from stars this morning:

PokerStars has adopted a policy of requiring winners of FPP satellites to play the first seat won in such satellites. The satellite pre-registration pop-up message clearly advises about the applicable restriction.

We understand that some players use satellites to win T-Money. It is still possible to do that in satellites in which the prize pool does not contain value added by PokerStars, i.e. cash buy-in satellites that do not have money added by PokerStars, and it is still possible in FPP satellites *after* a player's first win.

Please note that if you register to a target tournament first, then play and win a FPP satellite to that same event, your initial buy-in will be refunded but you will still be locked into the target tournament.

cliffs: avoid FPP sats unless you intend to play the target game from the start.

thankyou for this

I think there is some confusion here.

In some FPP satellites, what's written in the email above is certainly true. For example, in the Mega-Path satellites, players are locked into the system, and there are warnings in each satellite informing players of this. However, this is not the case in all FPP satellites. In many (most) FPP satellites, as long as the satellite ends before the target tournament starts, players can unregister from the target tournament, just as they could following any other satellite win. As long as the satellite doesn't warn a player that unregistration will not be possible, then it will be possible to unregister.

The email above implies and/or indicates that all FPP satellites have been changed to prevent unregistration, which is not the case. We'll be tracking this down and correcting any/all templates as necessary. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention!

okay good to know, so nothing is really changing?

thanks Bryan. I actually replied to this email asking them to clarify that this policy applies to ALL fpp sats, and was told that it does. Delighted to hear that it's not the case.

Yep, this x1000

Also, you could do what PokerStars.fr and WinaMax often implement before the launch of a new series: take some money out of the prizepool and give SCOOP-L-Main tickets to the players who have reached the final table for example

The Big 22 SCOOP Special,$50K Gtd

and maybe award SCOOP-M-Main tickets to the top5 in higher buyin big's like the 109 and 162

The Big 162 SCOOP Special,$80K Gtd

^ this idea 100%

Works so well on those sites

I love this idea.

Any chance to create the feature "hide hole cards this table"? For sweats in turbos, deep runs and etc while multi tabling?

click the chip tray in the middle of table and use the pop-up to cover it. or hold a credit card over the screen.

Ya, I usually do the chip tray.. but I miss some dynamics while doing it lol, hide hole cards its magic..would be awesome to use it in a specific table

Correct.

As a matter of fact, it turns out that this was an artifact from last year's SCOOP, during which all FPP satellites did in fact lock players in.

2p2 is lagging for me big-time at the moment, and I've got to head out the door, so I'm hitting enter on this Quick Reply and hoping that it goes through at some point.

We have in fact tried hybrid satellites in the not too distant past, for the anniversary Sunday Million... and unfortunately, they weren't popular at all, and in fact overlaid quite a bit each time they ran. The only thing I can say to that is that different things are popular on different sites, sometimes, maybe?

We did also draw up a plan for hybrid tournaments just prior to SCOOP, representing each of the 46 events in a turbo format, but this was ultimately scrapped... though the idea may resurface for WCOOP, as I think it's a good idea, just not one that would work particularly well for SCOOP. (The huge number of targets for SCOOP is a big part of what made it not very workable.)

Too funny.

my god, i instantly knew that sentence needed highlighting.... well done!

shame, would have enjoyed that type of warm up

i remember there was a "saturday night live" or something a long time ago that was a hybrid that paid out a whole bunch of cash like a normal MTT, as well as several seats to a prestigious live event. would like to see more of this and would definitely play them for the H scoop main. one each week would be plenty and a nice mixup of game type for grinders (could def put more than 1, tuesdays saturdays and sundays or something). could even make the payouts tiered with 18th-10th getting a $109 main ticket, 9th-3rd getting a $1050 main ticket and top 2 getting the $10k main ticket alongside the usual $$ payouts.

this kind of payout structure would be interesting just for a normal satty also

need T1000 in those deep turbo sat
