even if u charged a real tiny rake, these would kill if they were in lobby
sweet idea, but no to rake

Good idea, if no rake and also some slow 27s for SM during the week would be good too (people liked them a lot during wcoop)

I love the ST ideia too.

-27$ deep turbo every 2hours to milly.
-82$ reg speed pink label with something like 20 seats to ST and TT. Give me and a lot of players the chance to play the 1ks. Its win/win

Thanks for the 27$ mega sat to warm up!

I just wanna make sure, does the FPS a la carte sat on ps.fr work for FPS online? When i click for more info, I get immediately relocated from the ps.fr to local czech version of ps.eu, so I can never find any information on ps.fr stuff

Saved all my yearly FPPs for this...

So now it's either
- 20 FPP+R [2x-Turbo] => $22 => $215 1R1A => Package
or
- 500 FPP Hyper-Turbo => 5,000 FPP Turbo => $700 => Package

I won't even bother to try!

Have all the sunday mill $11+r and 8.8+r turbo sats now gone? Is a pity as they used to do well on Saturdays and especially Sundays. Seems excessive to get rid of all of them.

What's the time frame on the 3x turbo Sunday Million changes that we don't want?

Waiting for it, every week.

Hoping you change your mind about it.

red spade's satellite offferings were very very poor.
2-3h prior to the event i can only see 5 satellites at the lobby at the price range of $0.55-$11. [filtering out only shootouts]

yeah it's weird, I fully expected to be able to get back from watching the Everton game and jump in to a dozen red spade satelites, no such luck

edit haha the last $5.50 freezeout sat had a 1k cap for some reason so I can't even join that, wp

at least make the cap 1,001 so that it pays one more ticket and not spread the $50 at 7 places. #tilt

also, why remove all the late SM sats? maybe the ones that were really late should go but i think you went too far.
that's so weird too, or rather inconsistent, considering you just started offering sng's that run and start much later than the target has started.

also, if you insist on this [u aren't at all resilient luke as far as we've seen], maybe you'd like to change some of the 2xTs sats to b109, b162. i've sattied twice to a big big and had a very unplayable stack [maybe got in w/ 25bb, that soon dropped to 20 or sth].

“The exact package breakup will be set on October 1st 2015 and the AUD$10,600 main event entry is guaranteed regardless of movement in the exchange rate. Any balance after allocation of the main event entry at that time will be deposited as cash to your PokerStars account.”
BryanS-PS, today, October 5th 2015 but I dont see any exact package for Aussie Milions ME. Pls explain.

Some thoughts:
  • I do not see an all-in shootout SNG as poker authentic.
  • We do not have the functionality for flipout tournaments.
  • I'll never say never, but if I had to create such tournaments, it would be for the Sunday Million.

I've asked our friends at .FR, and I've been told you can send an email to support to play the FCOOP ME and also receive €100T.

An FPP mega-path is still likely.

Yes, they're gone. They did not perform nearly as well as other formats, so they've been replaced. I haven't examined the first week of Sunday Million satellites yet, but it is on my to-do list.

Apologies, the changes were announced in the other thread:

The daily 14:39 was removed due to the addition of the daily $11, 10 seat guarantee and the five Sunday iterations were removed purely because they ended too late inside the target. The earlier $1.65 3x-Turbos on Sunday already had larger guarantees, so I believe they will grow with these removals.

...
They simply ended too deep inside the target. I can see why you'd think this is inconsistent, but it is much easier for a player to estimate the run time of a hyper SNG than a $1.65 3x-Turbo. If you see any SNGs that allow registration later than you think is reasonable, do not hesitate to let me know.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi folks,

Regarding APPT, I've been asked to post the following information...

“APPT Management have decided given the continued volatility of the AUD$ rather than setting the rate for Aussie Millions satellites at the spot rate plus normal 2.5% margin as at October 1, to defer this until January when funds are sent to venue. At that time the margin applied will be no greater than 0.5%. The main event entry is guaranteed regardless and balance if any will be deposited to PS account at that time.

If a player who was originally told the package would be set at October 1 does require excess funds now, this will be possible but at the standard margin of 2.5% from spot rate.”

For further details, please contact APPT staff directly.

Thanks for the info. Is there any time limit within which we have to ask to have the money converted at the current rate plus 2.5% margin? Who do we email to do the conversion?

Dear Aussie Millions Satellite Winners,

In relation to the email you received earlier today stating that the setting of the Aussie Millions seat amount will be deferred until January, I wanted you to know that it is also possible to receive the funds as soon as this week. I should have made this clear in the original email.

Do note if you require funds now that that the rate will be set at at the spot rate plus the margin of 2.5% which is the standard policy for live event packages in advance of the event. In January when funds are sent the margin applied will be no greater than 0.5%.

If your preference is to access the additional funds now please email me directly no later than by Monday October 12 and I will arrange this for you.


Kind Regards


Danny McDonagh
APPT President
