    Tons of satellites in the lobby every day - any satellite related questions, fire away.

    Conventional poker wisdom has it that the earlier you qualify, the easier it is.

    To give some feedback (with a thin brag)...

    The sats so far have been very good and it was a bonus that they were introduced early into the schedule. 

    So far I have qualified for #UKOPS 2 (£110) from a £5.30 sat, £UKOPS 4 (Omaha £55) from a £2.20 sat and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the HR from an all in sat for only £1.40 into a QF...into a SF.

    I know closer to each event/day there will be more sats, but trying to qualify early is such a bonus. One reason for this is that there will be players later on just playing the 'sats for cash' and not the seats. 

    The rewards freeroll giving seats away is also a plus too. 

    Should be a good festival this one and hopefully I will qualify for a few more events before it starts.

    Well done Alan, £165 worth of UKOPS entries for just over £7,  which barely enough to buy a couple of rounds of drinks.

    Can anyone beat that?

    This Sunday's £25,000 Guaranteed, with an £11 buy-in?

    Hard to say. 520 have qualified already, so there's a clue.
     
    The official answer, of course, is at least 2,500. 

    Your guess is as good as mine. The idea, of course, is to, fingers crossed, attract a bunch of new players to Sky Poker. If it does that, job's a good 'un.  

    Tell you what, how many runners do you guys think it will get?

    With the new deposits free entry probably a fair few over 1k, can't see it hitting 2.5k. If it does fair play to the winner

    I think it could get a decent number of runners, when people see the money for the win it will attract a lot of players and with the promotion I am sure it will attract a lot of new accounts.

    A lot of new accounts yeah, but how new will the players be on sky poker? Hope sky has set up barriers to stop people making new accounts and multiple entries that are taking advantage of the promotion.

    I am going to be playing between 15-20 events including the main event, and the main Omaha event. I will also be playing the high roller as I got in for free via the freerolls :)

    I'm looking forward to the series and am looking forward to playing as many of the lower BI events as I can. I hope the software copes sith the expected 2,000+ fields in some events because when it's been tested before, I seem to remember there were some problems.

    Er... where are the satellites? I can't find any at all in the lobby.

    I only ever play on Monday-Thursday so will be looking to satellite into the main events on each day (the cheapest buy-in on weekdays is £55!) No satellites at all are listed right now. 

    Also, will there by any 6-max SnG sats?

    BB.

    Hi BB,

    The Satellites replenish each & every morning, so no, there are none in the lobby right now, but they will all be there in the morning. Rinse repeat daily.  

    There will be satellites every day during UKOPS for that days Main Events, yes.
     
    I don't know about the SNG sats, I'll have to ask. They get asked to do them a lot, but when they do, they are not terribly successful, partly, I suppose, as to where they sit in the Lobby.

    I am given to understand that if you win a main event you get a Ukops bracelet, will there be any bracelets/rewards for the overall series such as a bracelet for the best player or most side event wins or most profitable player?

    Another slight brag.
    Qualified for £20k UKOPs 1 (£110) from £5.30 sat, for £10k UKOPS 3 (£55) from £2.20 sat and £40k ME (£110).  Like Alan I will be trying for more, although have failed at 4 or 5 other attempts so far.  The 4 x Supper UKOPS at £11 are bound to prove popular as they are good value.
    It looks already as if it is going to be the best UKOPs to date.
