Mega Overlay Satellite to PokerStars Canada Cup: May 1-4, 2014

Aside from OPT, is anybody going to have a satellite for the $2910+$390 PokerStars Canada Cup on May 22-28 with $2 million guaranteed? Anybody interested in joining a carpool to the Mega Overlay Satellite on May 1-4? Based on mikelbyl's numbers at the bottom, I project a ~123% overlay, i.e., each entry may have an EV of ~$191.

My friend & I plan to play the Friday 7:30 PM or Saturday noon satellites. We will also try to stop by Thousand Islands Casino. That Ontario casino has a max rake of only $5, and has a $200 and three other tournaments on May 4-6.

Another option is to play a $540+$20 SNG at Woodbine, where the first place winner gets $3,780, enough to cover travel expenses.

It will be a $135 + $15 (+$5 dealer add-on) with 1 Canada Cup Main Event seat awarded for every $3300 in the prize pool PLUS a 10 seat overlay ($33,000) provided by PokerStars.

    I am interested in carpooling with you guys. Just have to check with my significant other first. Do you know the dates for departure and return yet?

    I would consider hosting a satellite to this event if the interest was there! It would obviously be for the west end of the city and steves game has the north and central covered.

    It seems that Wonderland failed to get the new ride ready for season passholders, so I'll drive to Playground early today. There's a chance I may get there in time for the $85 tournament, along with the overlay satellite at 7:30 pm.

    - The three of us won't play the $50+$15 7:30 pm tournament with 23% rake, but anybody out of the overlay satellites will keep playing the improved SNG satellites :cool2: (used to be even more turbo than WPT Fallsview) during the weekend.
    - On Sunday, after hopefully winning one or more $3,300 seat, we may also play the 8 pm $200+$25 satellite (11% rake) with 2 seats guaranteed.

    How did you calculate the overlay?

    At the risk of making pkrfce9's brain explode again, ;) here is the math.

    The seats are 3.3k are they not? So wouldn't it be 100k+?

    I think he miss-typed it since its 10 seats from pokerstars=$33000
