Default Re: PokerStars funnybusiness in EPT

As Greg explained...the total number of FPP winners for these events is completely unaffected.
You can see that they have 2 FPP satellite winners each week in the 3kFPP buy-in events.

They are sending Raymer...and they wanted to list his name as going to the tournament.
He is also being sent for free (it is my understanding anyway) so it is appropriate for them to just simply list him under their 'free winners'.

Perhaps they should have just started another list of Raymer and NoMercy (and others) to avoid confusion.
Obviously they want an accurate figure of the number of players they are sending...so they don't want to leave these players off the list.
The more players Stars sends the more they get to brag about it.

I don't think that too many people actually think that Raymer is sitting at the FPP tourneys trying to win his seat....and I don't think that many people believe that Stars is thinking "okay...we have to send Raymer too....so lets just take out 1-million FPP's from the various satellites so that we are able to send him."
