Vegas micro sats.

       Just wondering if there would be any chance of some micro sats a bit later in the day  Looking at the lobby the last one to run is 17.25 which is too early for those of us who have a day job. Only asking like.

       I know that the reasoning will be the time element viz a viz quarter final start time etc. but would it be possible to run micros after, say 19.00, that feed in to the next days quarter final?

    Like your idea here mate.

    Daytime sats are better for me because im a lazy bum however i rekon 7pm ones would fill out much better.

    I would prefer this to or even just later or later direct qtr at 8-10pm. I'm not home until 7:30+ so I miss the qtrs even if i fit in a micro during the day!

    Hi,

    Micros sats win entry to the 7pm Qtr Sat which in turn wins entry to the 9pm Qtr Final.

    Due to the mechanics involved it would be difficult for us to then add more micros sats on the night to the following night's qtr sat. We would in effect have to build the entire week's satellite structure.

    This could also become confusing in the lobby.

    I'll pass this on though.

    Regards
    Lee

    Also...

    We do have a Vegas Qtr Direct at 7.55pm, for the small buy-in of just £11.50..

    I agree, would be a great idea and agree with YG that £11.50 would only be classed small if you had a £500 BR.

    Although I've been hammering the £24 SPT Brighton sats with a BR of just over £200 lol, keeping myself going with playing HU SnGs on the off days and the fact I bubbled the seats once and got £88, but still have took a big dip in my BR :( Need to qualify soon!

    You must have paid for enough seats for them to give you a free one by now ;)

    Hope you manage to get there mate, you deserve it!

    Yeah tell me about it! lol. I think I've directly bought in for £24 9 times now... bubbled twice (got £88 for one of the bubbles). I reckon if I get enough bad beats and coolers the poker gods might gift me a seat lol.

    Even if I don't qualify, I will be there to see if I can get on the alternates list and to play some sideys but I really wanna be in that main event.

    Managed to bag a Semi Final seat starting at a microsat this afternoon. 1st time of asking too so well happy with that. One card further than 2010 is all i'm asking of myself this year! :-)

      Thanks for the reply Lee. However i fail to see how it could be confusing. You could start a micro sat at say 9.30 pm to feed into the following days 7pm Qtr sat which would be attractive not just to those who cant play before 6pm but also any players who had been eliminated from that nights 7pm Qtr and any early exits from the 9pm Qtr Final.
      I think that it should be something could be done as a trial to see how much interest there would be.
