    FWIW, tonight's 10.30pm sat. Only got 43 runners out of 55.

    28 were looking for a seat. 15 already had a seat.

    So those without seats nearly had a twice as better chance of winning then those who had one. The seat went to one of the 15.

    Do think Sky would run these sats with only 28 runners??? W/O the other 15, you chances of binking a seat might not even be there.

    IF SKY changes the rules, fine. As it is, I can not see a problem with it. You have just got to run better in them.

    Lol what can I say?

    For anyone who reads my diary and saw a few weeks ago how I lost 20 BIs @ 8NL in the space of a matter of days by just cooler after cooler can't feel too much anger towards me :)

    Yet another moan about very little IMO.......most sites have the option to cash out once you have won a sat....and there are a lot of pros who make a living from it......

    Quite a few Posts have missed the point completely, but several got it exactly right, including MAXALLY, Borin, Dohhhhh & others. These Satellites WOULD and COULD not run if they were limited to those without a seat. A painful but true fact of life.
     
    Dohhhhh nailed it here....

     
    "....Take away the people "making the numbers up" and these games simply would not run.

    Thus, denying the people that want to play, a +ev opportunity to make....."

    Whether we all agree with that, like or dislike it, THAT is the situation.
     
    I do feel bad for those of you who tried & failed to win a seat, but I'm afraid that is the very nature of poker. The whole idea of those All-In Sats was to make them affordable to everyone. In doing so, however, it was necessary to allow everyone to play.

    Quite a conundrum really!

    Sorry maybe I am missing something, I thought you couldn't have the cash money if you won a seat again when playing SAT's.
    Did all this change and no one told me !! )

    Or maybe I am confusing myself, tis early and no one has brought me a bacon roll yet !!
