In general, and traditionally, satellite tournaments are a little quicker anyway, but for what it's worth (which probably ain't much) I think the UKPC sats are the best structured satellites Sky have offered in the last couple of years. I certainly have no complaints about the 'lack of depth' or 'fast pace'.
Kazuko, out of interest do you play many tournament's on Sky? I think I saw your name at the top of the PS4 promo, so you clearly play a lot of cash and poker in general. The trouble is, you're just comparing this structure to some of he big sites. It's totally different on Sky. Obviously it's 6 handed, you don't get time banks, and just everything about this site seems to be quicker than any other. You will get plenty of value with 4k chips and 12 min blinds.
I don't think Sky expect many players to pay £240 for the satellite. I mean if you're rolled for a £240 satellite, then you may as well just buy into the main. The whole idea of Skypoker is to give the little guys a chance. There is already somebody who posted the other day they got in for £2.20 and that is fantastic. That's the sort of thing Sky want. They will now go and tell all their friends they are playing this big £1100 tournament for a couple of quid! What I'm getting at, the longer the structure, then the less like a tournament it actually plays, and it's more like a long cash game and the less chance the inexperienced players will have.
FWIW, I think the structure is spot on, I don't think it's fast in the slightest, and as others have said, probably the slowest satellite structure there has ever been (Not sure what the VLV structure was)
