    Rant thread bc I've bubbled the stupid 3x turbos too many times...I mean come on stars..it's probably you're biggest live event that you sponsor, but you really dont give the mid level/low level grinders any chance to get a seat. I understand that the prize package is worth 15k or so and its catered towards elite players, but come on just run like 2 30-50r's with regular structures on sundays. Slap a 10-15 seat guarantee on them and start running them around this time...A mid level to low limit grinder does not want to buy into a 3201r1a that feeds 1 or 2 seats only. Nor do they want to spend 500 $$$'s in a stuuuuupid 3x turbo which is the only way to win them unless you run like god and only spend 90. You do a good job of getting people into your 700 qualifiers but its still a 700 $ buy in. If you really wanted to make your PCA huge start running your 30-50 rebuys (with solid structures) earlier or just have more of them..but maybe Stars doesnt want to make the PCA huge idk...doesnt it already get close to 1,000 players? so maybe I should just spend 3,000 more on 3x turbos and I'll bink a seat! sweet.

    agree with OP, i think you would get huge fields for these on Sundays and give a lot of the lower stakes grinders/recreational players a much better chance of qualifying for all of the major live events

    Obv cosign

    The current options are terrible imo and the sats to the 700$ are a joke as a well. Same here op, only conclusion ive come to after 2 years of the same is they want to hold the final number back.

    or run mtt satellites that go 27-82-215-700-2100 - preferrably non turbo and good structures - stars had this format for first scoop and ive been begging for it to come back but to no avail - maybe some noise makes it happen - in fact can we just make noise to fix the satellite system in general for all tournys by offering more than just hypers - or at least offer the same structure buyins they have for the hypers but also in regular and turbo formats - 1 time

    stars probably doing us a favor. I heard some pretty sick stories about expensive shit is out there and how people come back broke as balls from PCAs. Not to mention the sick competition u would be up against

    Food at the Atlantis is just ridiculously overpriced. Go grocery shopping or leave the resort.
