    Yeah stops those scrounging so and so's from playing for free money, and also gives them the taste of a real tourney if they qualify

    Am I missing the point but has sky taken away the regular freeroll and cash and gave us a satellite which costs them nothing to enter 15 winners as the two prizes are 7 and 15k guaranteed anyway.

    Its Sky thats laughing

    torrylad ur a star.  why does every1 think that this is so great its 100/1 to win a seat, the prize pool for the primo one is £450 with 1500 runners.  100 points for a 30p mtt how is that good? to get the 100 points playin mtt or stt you would of paid £10 in rake (3%) and yes torrylad sky is laughing, 3 months i have waited for this  and its not a extra free role as they have just got rid of others to pay for this one.

    yep,so this is basically a 10 pound satellite to a 33 pound event...and 15 qualify out of 1500(lolllll) has to be the worst value for money ever and is only getting entries because player points have few options on here,  this should either be 10 player points(top 3.3% qualify for primo)  or 100 player points(top 33% qualify for primo)

    I agree with Torryladd.
    I thought this might be a separate free roll from the normal one but I find that the normal has been replaced by this.
    You got all the normal so called 'player' in this with there stupid calls and you had a 61-1 chance of winning a place in the double stack on Friday.
    It is a complete joke.
    Using your poker point to win entry into the main event tournament is a good idea but the way it has been done is NOT the right way to go about it.

    yes we r being ripped off, take a look at community sugestions bigshann started a thread 3 months ago over points. bigshann payed more rake than any1 last month and is not playing as much this thing over points may have something to do with it, so get a grip sky one of your highest rake payers might be going.

    Congratulations lads I've also qualified tonight so look forward to seeing you at the tables on Sunday! After playing 10 minutes on table with 4 players away, I knocked out the only guy there and for the next 30 minutes (no exaggeration) I played against 5 players who were away so whilst tedious, it helped set me up for the rest of the tournament!
