Which buy-in level is preferred by you for a forum satellite?
Preferably pick the maximum that you'd be comfortable playing on a weekly basis (not saying we'd do this on a weekly basis, but just to give an idea of what they should be picking, because we want a balance between getting as much money in the prizepool as possible, but not busting the rolls of all the lower stakes players here).
Generally the satellite will be for a sunday major. We'll shoot for a 216, the brawl on tilt would be nice for $40 more (especially for lower stakes players since the $40 bounty lowers variance and increases that chance that you see at least a little bit of return for your work), but if we get a lot of interest something like the sunday 500 or one of the monthly millions on party/FTP could be cool too!

Put in the amount that you'd be comfortable with on a weekly basis, just to be safe, and in case it's something we could get going weekly or long-term. It's better if the buy-in is slightly lower than slightly higher in the long run, I think.
I like the idea of playing whichever event, just the buy-in has to be the same.
For myself, I may prefer to play the $215 PLO on Saturday either on Tilt or Stars.
As long as whoever wins gives a couple days notice as to which event he will be playing, then whoever wants to rail, can.
If we win the pool but don't want to play in the tourney is that poor form??
I suggest something like, the satelliete winner gets to the play the tournament. If he cashes, he keeps 85% and 15% gets split around to the satelliete entrants.
How does this sound? then we can all root for the home team!

+1 preach it brotha!:wink2:
i could pay higher for bi-weekly or monthly
i like the cheering for the forum member ,and sharing the prize money from the $215 tourny.I prefer the sunday million on stars.:biggrin2:
Haha, I thought about that. We'd need 42 people to get enough for a sat, is that possible do you think?
5r/a maybe...lol
Even 10 might be tough to get enough for a decent sat?
only 15 votes so far. I'd say no. The forum tourney's generally only get a table or two at the most and that's for $5.50
It would be great if we could have non-holdem games on occasion, but I imagine that would greatly decrease #s...so likely not.
I think the best way to go is to split 10% of the target tourny winnings with all the sat players -- I also think that all sat players should have a minimum number of posts and minimum membership duration on this site to qualify for the 10%, but that any members can play.
On one hand, the people who only want to spend $5 can, but on the other hand, it's sort of an advantage to the players who can spend $25 in it.
I guess we could even do a lower rebuy, like a $3 rebuy then more people could double rebuy and take the add-on. I'm not sure what the prizepools would get like with either option.
20 is doubtful imo
maybe we should start with something standard a rebuy is longer too and while i'd rebuy like crazy if i played....it favours the guys with gigantic bankrolls and your already favorites
i just have really wanted to do this for a awhile so ill take whichever it costs....stoked and appreciate you and others who are willing to spend the time playing like this.^-^
