+1

Imagine if Pokerstars said, "Sorry, we only had 29,999 signed up, therefore we are canceling the tournament and not giving away the million dollars". lol

That would actually be the perfect ending to this: cancelling the freeroll because they didn't reach the minimum number of entries, and then telling the players who deposited to qualify that they're sorry, but they reserve the right to change their promotions at any time.

They need 30000 players because 29997 players get paid

Amaya made that abundantly clear. You can either take what they offer you or don't, totally up to you.
Oh yeah, I know they don't care. My point is that Dnegs shouldn't have bothered mentioning this tournament here, because it's obviously not aimed at anyone other than recs.

Sound reasoning, but what about 29997-29999?

The only way to retain any respect for Dnegs it to ignore every word that comes out of his mouth.

A freeroll with only 2 chances to qualify? WTF? It is supposed to be a freeroll . I already wasted my chances to qualify and i don t care about it anymore.
The problem is they didn t tell us we have only 2 chances for qualifying. I thought we could play the sattelite by completing a challenge every day ... This sucks!

It's obvious they are waiting till the last day of the tourney for people to deposit. I thought this is just a freeroll made from SNE's money. Now i see this is just a lie very disapointing stars.,...

Why do they offer nondepositing players/VIP champions the best rakeback deals then (as opposed to recs)?

$20 was the highest odds on next deposit.

Oh and endless spamming from starsbet or some bs.
I would like to have the oportunity of a 1% chance of winning 10k. That said I'm a poor.

This. People have to stop being surprised by anything Amaya does. This simply isn't pokerstars anymore.

One of the biggest reasons people believed in the red spade was their word was worth it's weight in gold, the ONLY online site that continuously exhibited complete, unquestioned integrity in every facet of their operation.

These people representing Amaya, from Baazov all the way down to renegs, have all the credibility of snake oil salesmen.

Isn't this satellite entry the same value as a freeroll with 10x more runners, with a bit of extra convenience?

Do poker players here, who presumably do things like calculate EV and weigh alternatives rationally (), have much concern over the title of the lobby when they start playing?

This is so funny! You all whined like little girls when you thought it was open to everyone. Now your whining that it's not open to everyone. Pick a stance and stick to it at least.

If your unable to get a ticket, maybe poker isn't for you.

In other news, I'm in. Lol

That's exactly what I expected Pokerstars to do.

What happens if they don't ? Freeroll canceled ?
I'm starting to agree with you.

We are at this moment at 17396 entries with 5 days, 11 hours to go.

#'s ~my current time on:
10 Mar - 9555
11 Mar - 11598 (+2043)
12 Mar - 13548 (+1950)
13 Mar - 15524 (+1976)
14 Mar - 17396 (+1872)

I thought new entries would of been more than 2k a day through the weekend. With things slowing down, there's a good chance of not making 30k entries.

They will obviously change the min entrants if required like when they did last month in one of those gold challenges shootout freerolls

If your a winning player and choose not to play because of the actions they have taken, I would say its mission accomplished. I mean is it really "****ing disgusting" that a business is making money??? LOL its business dude.

All this butt hurt from the pros and wannabe pros reminds me of the scene from casino where joe pesci meets robert de niro out in the desert. "When are you going to get it into your thick head? You only exist out here because of me...."

Winning players only exist because there are losing players. In fact poker only really exists because there are losing players. So why get all precious when the losing players are given something nice? Get some class.
