I'll try not to go overboard on assuming here...
But this would be the best thing ever for their satellites... since they use the coupon system and don't allow a player to take T$. Even if I took a small hit on the value of the coupon, it would be way +ev vs having to try and play the coupon to recoup any value out of it.
A regular satellite player would make out very well with this feature with the increased number of players willing to play a satellite to a $20+ buy-in.
MTT "Regs" would also benefit from being able to pay a slightly-reduced price to get into the games if they so choose.
The site would make all kinds of rake on the satellites, even if they didn't take a cut of the buying and selling between players.
If it worked out well, I could get back to grinding satellites like I used to on The
poker site That Shall Not Be Named.
