Excuse the ignorance having been out of the loop for several years, but are online satellites to the ME still a thing and any idea where and when they'll be starting for 2019?

888

WSOP.com will be running them on Sundays starting in February. But you have to be in Nevada, New Jersey or Delaware

Any info about Live WSOP mega satellites( 10%, 20% gets in).
How big are the fields and what structure( blinds, etc).
Any first hand experiences?

Played the $1000 satellite July 3rd last summer. Decent structure, and had a little over 1000 players if I remember correctly, with 10% going in. I’ll probably play it again this year.

I was looking for the schedule for such mega satellites on WSOP website but could not find it yet.

I am looking to play these daily:
09:00 - Rio - WSOP Satellite to 1.5k - $185
Any info about structure(blinds)
You would get 3 500$ lamers and could use those for any WSOP events?

If they are the same as last year, the structure is very fast, since the idea is for people to be able to fire the tourneys that day. I think last year they had 10 minute levels, though it maaayyy have been 15. You are correct that you get 3 $500 lammers that you can use for any WSOP tourney, plus some cash (I think $100).

I have played a couple, and they are really soft, with lots of people clueless about satty strategy. The uber-turbo structure definitely increases variance. If your thought is that "hey, I'm up early, and maybe these will be fun and soft", then go for it. If your thought is "I can really only afford $185 tourneys, what about these", I think you can find a lot better value for your $185.

Thanks,
so it will be 15 min levels for 9AM and 30 min levels for 8PM?
Plus you will be payed out in 500$ tournament lamers?

That's what it was last year, and what I would assume it will be this year, yes.

Yes, like a Daily Deepstack. The ones in the morning they used to call "turbo" but I guess they took that off.
