it's strange 1 this Malc because i see it from both sides

As a player that wins multi seats i understand that every1 i win thats another £150 not in prize pool for live game,i would guess up to 20/30 multi seats are lost in this way,therefore keeping live numbers/prizepool down.

yet if i don't win extra seats  even coming Birmingham cost's me over £120 expenses with travel,hotel,food+ beer etc and im not sure i'd do that and a 250 mile trip for a £150 game when theres loads same buy in much nearer home.

Dublin cost me over £200 travel without food and drink,so winning an extra 3 seats covered the weekend

same thing ....could i justify that expense and time for a €150 game when i can go down the road @ no cost and play same.

if this was just forum get together i'd agree get your seat and leave it to others but its not

i have infact bought 4 different forum members into superstacks after i've won a few seats on a % deal that i would'nt have done if i hadn't won  so i think i've done my bit for Forum community yet your post and another comment i took @ table in forum game (although it was denied later) seems theres a few bitter people here,to me it just looks like sour grapes but maybe im wrong


also didn't see anyone complain when another multi winner Jenny gave a seat away for Dublin at the Birthday Bash Surprised

everyone has the same opportunity to win these seats

as another multi-seat person, obviously I agree with Bill Wink but will add another couple of thoughts ...

1. These satellites obviously suit my game - as it's the same prize for the top 10 (for London), it's a different strategy than other MTTs. My bankroll ticks along quite nicely with an extra $265 now and again. Not sure I'd get a similar return playing regular MTTs where only the top few places get good ROIs.

And I'd say the same for the $1.35 step 1s. Quite a few of us find them a good bankroll builder too. Although they're not forum games I find there's a similar level of friendliness as you see the same people over and over.

2. There's a lot of value in the qualifiers - since we lost the Spanish players I've only seen one qualifier where buyins have matched the guaranteed prizepool. If we could only win one seat, the regular players would stop playing (and contributing to the prize pool) once they'd got their seat. 888/Superstacks might start looking at the number of guaranteed spots if the number of entries decreased every week.

Bill and I have discussed this before and we'll both be interested to see how the introduction of tokens will affect things ...

OK, enough rambling ... must get back to work

Hope to see you on the tables again soon Malc x

I havent got a seat for Brum mainly because I cant play on Thursdays but had a good few for Ireland I 100% agree with Jen and Bill everyone has the same chance to win these seats and if you win every single week in my book good luck to you I will again be trying to win multiple seats for Ireland but tbh 1 will do for me and 1 for kayla this has nothing to do with community spirit or any other such things you pay yopur money and take your chances full stop!!

All good points and yes we all pays our moneys and take our chances


 seems theres a few bitter people here,to me it just looks like sour grapes 

 I for one am not bitter, although I did think there was another one next week and was taken back that last night was the last chance....

But I stand by my opinion, its mine without malice or bitterness or sour grapes

Bring on the tokens then lets see what happens!!

Even tonights freeroll for a seat the lobby clearly has it stating
"Players that already have a seat cannot win another seat in this tournament, and the ticket is not transferable and non refundable"....Yet a few players that have seats have entered???

I think Alexa might have taken it down as some of the European dates weren't confirmed yet. Probably concerned people might start booking flights and accommodation already.

Whats wrong with the Live Event lobby today?  All the Super Stack sats were  doubled up earlier and now a long list of Birmingham games, mostly for Tuesday, which are never gonna fill!  Seems a little strange to me
