    It would be an extremely quick and relatively low variance way of converting FPPS into T$. The 10 player 70fpps are good, but they take too long to complete and you have to play thousands of them in order to make any kind of significant return. Instead (or in addition to), how about a 4 player heads up sng shootout to the Sunday 200 Grand with an entry fee of 175fpps? This would be similar in every way to the 3375fpp 4 player shootout into the Sunday Million, except obviously the prize is smaller.

    Mathematically it's the same for pokerstars (70fpps x 10 = 700, 700/4 = 175) and it would take less time to complete than a 10 seated single table satty. So why not, Stars? Let's make it happen!

    I'd take more options for FPP satties period. The 70s are too top heavy and the players are retarded (granted I have a win rate of 1 in 6). I do like the 210 FPP, 20 mans, though. We need a LOT more of those kinds of satellites.
    I'm for this idea, if only because retarded players can't get away with the trash they do at HU as much as at 10-max.
