Just done a satellite for £1200 BH. Was out on level 3. Why because it became a shove fest. Ok so i lost a race nothing important with my exit hand. But after the third blind level nothing was happening but shoving.
Sorry but in my opinion this is a terrible structure and it needs looking at.

The 5pm Semi Final on a Sunday is 10 min levels and is much better structured... Perhaps you should try this next week. Also there are sub sats into the semi final...
I agree that 5 min blinds is not great (10 would be better), but it is what it is, a chance to qualify for a £55 tourney quickly and cheaply. IMO most people dont want to grind away for 3-4 hours trying to bag a seat to a £55 tourney.
Gents,
The structure for Satellites is always shown in the Tourney Lobbies, & the range of structures is eclectic.
It's always wise, therefore, to check the structure before you enter them, as not all structures suit all tastes.
The Primo sats i have no problems with. This particular sat was 3 mins. Now i understand people want them over and done with asap but sorry Greg the play in these is poor enough without it being a luck fest. At this set up you might as well make it chip and a chair.
Also sky dont make it a chip and a chair.
sorry i didnt read your op properly, assumed you were talking about the primo
fwiw, i think the 3 min blind structure is fine for a bh sat. jmo
I cant do primo sats on a sunday due to work commitments. These are sats which i think are ok.
However the Bounty Hunters are all 3 mins. This tournament starts late enough for 5 mins blinds.
In all honesty i think Satelite structures should match that or similar to the actually main event.
Sorry if you disagree. However as a low stakes player, the £2 sats are all i have to get into a decent tournament, and i dont feel that these structures actually reward the best play, and often let the "luckier" players in.
I was trying to make the point that it's best to check the Structure of any Event before you enter it, not after you exit from it.
That is a wholly different subject to that of the structure being good or bad.
Don, those raises were only 2400. not 24million!
I have tried the 1200 BH sateliotes and agree that 3mins is to short (on other sites it would be called a super-turbo)
Having said that there are more satelites now to play in , like the TSP classic, primo or the other big BH with slightly longer blind structures so i just play those instead and now occasionly buy directly in to the 1200BH
Although i have to admit it is a step in the correct direction.
