Super-satellites on blonde, my plea...

[Karabiner]

If i am looking to play a super-sat. for one of the events at let's say Luton, I personally am looking to play in a fairly soft field and with enough runners for there to be five or six seats up for grabs, rather than an STT with a line-up that could easily be a final table.

Please open these super-sats. up to the whole network so that we can get a much greater volume of players including a few recreational players too. I am sure 99% of the blondes would still play via blondepoker, and loads I am certain would play these. I most certainly would.

I know where you are coming from Ralph, but there are severe problems with doing this.

Not merely that we have in several instances worked very hard to get sats on blonde, and we might fear that opening them up would see people playing them elsewhere (we've mentioned this in the past). I accept that most wouldn't but it has been our concern.

We were granted permission to run the Luton ones, and hoped it would lead to the offer of more (non GUKPT) sats but not sure it will on current evidence.

Also though there are big cage difficulties across IPoker (when it comes to transferring funds to pay for seats to the provider) and other card-rooms need to want to carry them.  To date there is little evidence from those I have asked that they do

Its fair to say we are once again rethinking sats on blonde. A lot of effort but when push comes to shove for the reasons you state amongst others, not many play them to make them worth our while.

 Really surprised the Luton sats aren't taking off...a great chance to enter a fantastic 2 day structured live event for a small outlay.....cant say blonde and Kev haven't bloody tried!!

Maybe go back to "shares for players", at least we only need 6 to fill these !?
