Default Re: Heartland Poker Tour allows questionable entry option

Attempt at logic #2:

Please tell me how comparing these two things are apples and oranges.


Situation 1

The tournaments is on Sunday. The buyin is $2000 +150.
There is a supersatellite tournament on friday and saturday evenings to the sunday event. You buyin for $400 +25 and they will pay out seats in sundays tourney for every $2150 that is in the final prize pool. If you choose to, you may simply buy in for $2000 +150, as is standard for a tournament.


Situation 2:

The tournament is on Sunday. The buyin is $2000 + 150. There are qualifiers at 8 am and 5 pm on friday and saturday. The buyin at those qualifiers is $400 + 25, and the top 20% will advance to the tournament on sunday. If you choose to, you may simply buy in for $2000 +150, as is standard for a tournament.


Please tell me how these two situations are drastically different? The only difference, is that one of these situations is par for the course at the Bellagio or any other casino that hosts tourneys. The other situation is obviously the HPT event setup. The ONLY difference between these two, is the use of the word qualifier vs. supersatellite.

Tek, agree or disagree? If disagree, please explain clearly.
