KHSPoker21 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Why would pokerstars drop 2M for free every week?Pokerstars would actually be making $$ on this.A quick, rough example:1 Sunday Million Direct Entry Ticket = 12,700 fpps = $21610,000 fpp entry to tourney = $200 for argument's sake12,000 people enter tourney (another assumption) = $2.4 Million saved => Pokerstars makes $400,000yw:) Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I went ahead and bought in. Didn't want it to fill up before I won a seat. I'm thinking I'll play some fpp satty's to get a new tv or something. Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I played a 1250 FPP sat last night and won a seat. 50 seats up for grabs, one guy who has a decent stack decides to sit out for the rest of the tourney. He went out 53rd - last ten players out probably took one hour. Link to post Share on other sites
zoo 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just won one of the 16 person, 750 fpp SNGs. Third attempt. These look like good value as 4 spots are paid (4th gets 500 fpp, 2-3 gets 750 fpp, winner gets 10,000). It's a turbo with 5 minute levels so you have to be running good to win but everyone is in the same boat so you have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites

Poker Addict 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 what happens if you win two tickets to the same satellite?you cash one out and get the points back - if it's FPP. If it's cash, then you should get the T$'s to use for other tournysWas it for this one? Link to post Share on other sites

outsider13 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 An FPP tourney where you have a 33% chance of at least a $180 profit?All I can say is that I'm very, very disappointed they don't have SnG sats for those of us who don't have so much free time to devote to poker. I could even convince my wife to entertain the kids so I could play if I got in!Not going to read through the whole thing, but the Turbo 75 fpp rebuy only takes about 1 hour and is super easy to get through. Yesterday, the one I played in had 139 seats to the 1250 fpp qualifier. This one had 51 seats with only about 400 people, unfortunately I donked my chips away about 50 from the seat. Try again tonight. They are turbos, so the pace is quite a bit quicker. Link to post Share on other sites
