Re: Why aren\'t there online qualifiers for non-main-event WSOP?
[ QUOTE ]
i asked pokerstars and got a very good response back saying basically they run the sats hoping to get people at the final table and win the main event as that brings them so much publicity. if they ran sats for other events they fear it would cause them to have less people in the main event.
i'm not happy about it, but i don't blame them.

I think stars is missing the ball on this one. They should let people use their extra W$ towards the smaller events on the condition that the person wears the pokerstars gear. This would still give them some marketing power because the other events do get TV coverage and Stars could run ads like "4 WSOP Braceltet winners in 2005"
