What do you think about using poker points for entry into satellites??

For example 500 points to enter into £500 bounty hunters??

    Thankyou Chrisbhoy,

    Thing is the way I see it is we earn these poker points but what real use are they??

    Might as well make use of them.

    That will be a total non-starter.

    The £100 freerolls av just over 600 runners I believe.

    Thats say, 600 people paying 50 points each.

    For stts/ mtts thats £5 worth of rake each paid.

    600 x 5 = £3000 worth of rake for £100 of prizemoney on offer.

    That is essentially 'cashback' of 3.3%.

    500 points for an £11 entry is more than 20% 'cashback' (if you see what I mean).

    I cannot see Sky going for that one, especially as, in addition, many, many people would use their points for entry whereas before they would have paid cash. Sky lose out again here then.

    good maths - very interesting - i'd rather penny a point 'cashback' IE 10% and scrap 'cash for points'

    Oh, sorry, I have just seen you said 'satellites'.

    I thought the post was about direct entry.

    That would change things significantly :)

    I like your thinking trev i would like to see points used for sats into primo and stuff.I have over 20,000 points and that includes the 2'000 i exchanged points for cash £30 last month.So all that happens is we get a big pile of points that you can't do anything decent with.I would like to see them used as sats to the open five-00 and primo that way we can put them to good use, and save our poker bankrolls when we don't qualify via sat by that i mean instead of paying say £12 for primo 1 in 5 sat you use say 750 points and if you get unlucky in the sat you lose points and not cash.

    I think Sky should consider it @ 500 points for entry to a sat, with one in every five qualifying.

    That would make it £250 worth of rake for a £11 fee. Can't see them having issue with that surely.

    It could maybe run once a month at least?

    Could see it being very popular.

    Trev, as promised last night iam in total agreement with you,and most of us PLAYERS agree.
    The points are not worth anything to real players. I d`ont want to sit for hours with 700 players trying to win a tenner.
    Give true players a reward with all this money we spend with SKY, and let us have entry into Sat torneys, not boring,loose freerolls. Good luck with the suits mate.
