pokerstars satellite rambling/thoughts

still bummed about my buddy dying and other things in my life getting to me, I didn't really feel like playing tonight, so I popped on a movie (21 jump street --> it was terrible) so I jumped in some random 60 cent 3x turbo satty. I just felt like shoving some chips around to keep me occupied, anyways, I shipped the seat into the tournament (big 27.50) and as the satty drags on and on and on (ppl were stalling like cray,and it was pretty big) by the time we get let into the mtt after the satty, it was AN HOUR AND A HALF into the tournament

nothing quite like shipping a seat and having less then 20 beibers once you get in.

Am I wrong for thinking this is BS? I really feel like stars should offer you the option of taking t$ or playing .

I emailed stars back and forth with my thoughts on this and will post them later, but I wanted to see what you guys thought first.

    I agree. Should be allowed choice of tourney dollars if you feel the event is too far along by the time the satty ends.

    Maybe they were trying to stall to get past the Late Reg, then you get the T$.

    Dunno, just a thought.

    No lol, def not the case, ppl were stalling with 0.5BB just trying to get win the seat, which was sending me over the edge because it was hand for hand so stalling is POINTLESS :mad:

    I think late reggy'ing and being sent into the mtt is fine as long as its the standard 1hr late registration. When it's for "special" tourneys that has extended late registration (120 minutes) then I think that's when stars should implement the option of taking t$.

    I took the time and sent stars a seething email that went into extreme detail explaining the situation, what I thought, how -EV it was to late register, and all I got back was a generic computer typed out response that was :bs:

    while I understand that "this is the way it is" from stars point of view, I strongly recommended that they change it, and to review their stance. Im waiting on a more official response as I requested a higher up person to look at my email and respond as I was very tilted by the copy paste email they sent me.

    Ill update with the emails if anyone gives a shit lol
