APAT Satellite Discussion
Chipaccrual:
I know we have plenty of discussion threads on here about the new season, future events and promotions, but I wanted to open up a specific thread about satellites in to APAT events, whether that be live events, or any of our online tournaments.
Both Matt and myself have regular discussions around what satellite structure we put up for players to qualify for APAT tournaments, but what we seem to be finding is that there is only a small proportion of players that are interested in using the satellite route into APAT events.
Therefore, we want to put it out here for discussion.
Tell us what your thoughts are around APAT satellites.
Do you play them ?
Why do you play them ?
Why don"t you play them ?
What is an ideal buyin for you ?
What type of structure would you prefer ?
Do you just want to guarantee a seat, and therefore buyin direct ?
Would you prefer a "package" style satellite ?
Whether good or bad, we would appreciate your comments.
Many thanks

Do you play them ?
Will start too
Why do you play them ?
To get in on the cheap
Why don"t you play them ?
NA
What is an ideal buyin for you ?
Dpends on the buyin for target game but a 5-10% rebuy works
What type of structure would you prefer ?
Cheap rebuys with super addons
Do you just want to guarantee a seat, and therefore buyin direct ?
Would you prefer a "package" style satellite ?
Depends on the event. Cant see packages being desired as it would offer less seats
AJDUK:
I tend to play satellites into events that I won"t play if I fail to qualify. Hence you don"t tend to see me in APAT satellites since I will always play them (unless abroad).
Plus I hate the sw you"re using, BOSS and WH are not on my fav list. In any case there never seems to be many seats on offer in any one event.
I never used to mind the odd $5r/$10 freezeout satellite when we used to pay around 4 seats going back 2 or 3 years. Any more than that for an $82 buyin is too much IMO.
Anything with a super add-on is a con, I won"t play them.
Not interested in package satellites, the pool is so small they won"t get us many seats at all. Unless you are talking foreign excursions. I would play those satellites because it wouldn"t be a given that I go regardless of qualifying.
HTH
Swinebag:
Do you play them ? Yes, if I can play the live event
Why do you play them ? Cheaper way in, but mainly for the craic
Why don"t you play them ? If I can"t play the target event or if I have already qualified or if I am too busy
What is an ideal buyin for you ? one eighth of the buyin to the target event
What type of structure would you prefer ? not too deep but not a turbo. 100BB starting stack 12 min blinds
Do you just want to guarantee a seat, and therefore buyin direct ? Yes
Would you prefer a "package" style satellite ? not really - never had good value from them. Seat only please and let Paulie sort the rest
