Nearly every pokerstars satellite is a turbo. This brings much more luck in and seems to make these tourneys more of a crap shoot. Why are they offering no normal speed satellites or next to none? It has led me to play satellites more on other sites and just buy in direct on pokerstars.
I have already contacted Pokerstars. If like me you would like to see some more normal blind structured tournaments contact them as well so they may offer more. Obviously speed is good for them as it creates a high turn over but if they are $30 satellites for instance surely they make enough anyway?
Let us know your opinion.

satelites arent real tournaments, so the fact they made them turbo is because most players prefer to qualify for the tournament as soon as possible, without having to spend so many hours to reach the tourney.

I agree with OP. I'm not a huge fan of turbo tourneys and now play far fewer satellites on Pokerstars then I used to.

Full Tilt seems to have done the same thing with their satellites as well.

I prefer turbo satellites.I dont want spend to much time on them, and then play the tournament after.
Sometime you play two or three round to get your ticket...

Hi Pjokay,

Let me tell you that this is one of my biggest irritations on PokerStars, I couldn't agree with you more. I find it almost a waste of money.

I don't think contacting PS helps anything, but I am still curious to know what their answer was???

everything is in what one likes, it is known that cash tournaments earn more than MTT tournaments, unless you get to the final table, which maybe win cash just like playing, but more hours of play, MTT, if you ever play live is good to play online mtt .. if you want to make money fast, or not, I will have 10 tables of cash .. and see how it goes

Of course, same criminals behind it.
I do hope that you have evidence to support your statement. If you do, would you post some details as it would be an interesting read.

I like the turbos too, but its quite annying that then the most players go all in steadily. I just dont wonder not to call, because almost every round some players play all in. But i love this in the way that when i have good cards they will surely call.
