I played a tonne of sats 6 months ago. not the last ukops but the one before it i think, and pretty sure i went 4/5 hours of poker without a break. i respect we have to look after every single player and i 100% back anything that helps the new players, 1 tablers or anything that supports players who play for enjoyment. However certainly in the case of sats, more often than not, people will play more than one sat to get to an event.
On any given day reg up a sat for the same mtt between say Noon and 4pm. The majority of the players are the same, the field gets a tad bigger as it goes on i assume from people finnishing work or whatever, maybe you'll lose a couple who've already made it. But over the whole, the vast majority of players remain the same.
So over that 4 hours thats a group of people who are the majority of players in those events, who are missing hands, normally in a turbo satelltie structure who don't get a break. The excuse was its designed to last 30-60 mins. Needs to be finished before the target tournament (6pm) which i got, but neither where in any issues, IMO of giving those core players 5 mins break in them.
I'd just like to see breaks in all tournaments and sattelites, I can't see it scaring off anyone from playing this site, the only time i ever hear anyone moan about there being a break is when its a final table or very short handed and the tournament is inevitably going to end very soon, so.. (i very much doubt this would ever be possible) but would be an idea, to have a check box on all final tables/stt's where if everyone checks the box then you can skip the break?? just an idea though. No doubt il continue to play on the site even without breaks in the sattelites il just probably end up moaning a lot about it too!

On other sites you can click a box and when everyone else does the break ends ealy and the mtt resumes. Would be the ultimate button, could be used in short events with less than 18 people left imo. Then this would help people in basically every situation sky says theres not a break in now.
I played two sats just before 5pm. First one started at 4:35 and didn't have a break 2nd one started at 4:40 and did have a break. Both for the sky sports bh. Seemed strange to me.
