blakheart 3 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 So for every 5 players from FCP this sunday, that many free seats will be given away next Sunday? Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 So for every 5 players from FCP this sunday, that many free seats will be given away next Sunday?Let's assume that 70 FCPers play in the Sunday Hundred Grand on Dec 2nd. That means that Poker Stars will add 14 seats to the $2+.20 satellite on Sat Dec 8th in addition to the seats from the money added to the satellite by the entries. Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Reed 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah, i'm confused as well. So only fcp'ers can play a $2 satellite into a $10 buy-in tourney? What does the number of players this week have to do with that? Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah, i'm confused as well. So only fcp'ers can play a $2 satellite into a $10 buy-in tourney? What does the number of players this week have to do with that?Pokerstars is adding additional seats to our satellite based on the amount of people who play this sunday... so people like me who suck at poker get a chance to earn a seat.

Randy Reed 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Well, I work Saturday anyway so I couldn't play the Satty, but I thought hey, only $10 bucks but geez, louise, what a donkfest. Link to post Share on other sites
Waffles2003 1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I appreciate the hard work bob, but thats a pretty weak promotion if you ask me...good luck Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderGuard 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Not to jump on the bandwagon of "Only FCPers with high post counts should be able to join" but is there any way to make it so only FCPers who participated in one of the barrages get to play in the satellite? I don't normally play in the Sunday $100K, but I could be convinced to take my free $10 from the last promotion and gamble if I didn't think it was going to benefit some random guy who hit us up on Google a couple hours before the promotion.

Lrgetrout 1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Darn. Saturday won.That means I can't participate in this one. Have fun, folks. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeepster80125 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 So we have to plan on playing this week's hundred grand. Depending upon the number of 'properly registered' fcpers, then pokerstars will add a certain number of seats in a $2 satellite. This $2 satellite will be FCP only, with password registration. Let's say a hundred FCPers play the hundred grand. Only twenty of them will have registered correctly, which means that in this scenario, stars will add 4 seats to the satellite. The only prize for the satellite is T$11 seats into the sunday hundred grand the next week.EDIT: Also, anyone with the password can play in the $2 satellite on Saturday.Amiright?

Naslund44 0 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Dec 2nd - FCP'ers barrage Sunday Hundred Grand. - for every 5 people that enter this tournament, pokerstars will add 1 seat to the $2.20 satellite into the Dec 9th Sunday Hundred Grand. not hard folks..

How are they really going to know who's who when it comes to the satellite other than they will know the password which will no doubt be available by google search? How is it going to be secured?

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Here's how I look at this promotion.A lot of members have had a lot of fun in the forum in the past with the Sunday Hundred Grand tournament by drafting teams and backing each other etc. This is just a fun way to add a little something extra to an event that a lot of FCPers are taking part in. It isn't a promotion that will appeal to everybody but hopefully we can have some fun in the forum during all three tournaments. I'll be giving away more of Matt's hats for example and to win them you'll have to be in the forum and in the tournaments when they're running.The more people who play in the first tournament next Sunday the more money Poker Stars will be adding to the FCP only $2.20 satellite. For every 5 entries in the Hundred Grand next Sunday Poker Stars will add $11 to the satellite prize pool or one seat, they are the same thing.Yes, some people who you may not consider true FCPers will find out the password for the satellite but since it still takes real money to enter those numbers will be pretty small. Also, all those people who registered for the freerolls and free $10 will count towards our totals for getting the added seats if they play next Sunday. To restrict the entries for the satellite in any way other than password just isn't going to happen as it would require an amount of work for Poker Stars that they aren't going to do for a small promotion.Also, I want to urge all real money players at FCP to register as everybody who plays any real money at all other than Platinum Stars and above will benefit from the 4th and final challenge that we'll be releasing next week.
