180, 10 mil prize pool. Top 3 was 2 mil, 1mil, 750k. Most of the satellites have 20% rake on them, but the hotel is free and they do give you travel. I only did one 12 person satellite and got lucky winning by less than 0.1 points. There's a max numbers of entries you can have, maybe 5? Some guy had 4 or 5 lineups in the top 10 towards the end.
I think it's turning into poker now though where all the people who were "winners" are now selling packages for huge markup on websites. Saw people selling 40% of their package for 1.4 markup. They also all trade action with each other to "reduce variance" (aka I'm playing way above my head and one bad day will cause me to go broke).
Always need to check BM props. They mis-grade 1-2 a day.
Get into DFS Golf Iowa!, they have million dollar tournaments too and everyone seems to hate picking Patrick Cantlay even though all he does is score tons of points.
