3 complaints about the Stars Bahamas satellites
1. $3,000 for hotel and food? Are you f'ing kidding me? Is this Party Poker?
2. In the double shootouts, 5-9 get nothing, 4th gets 65, and 2-3 get 650. Of course I just spent 3.5 hours playing one and just finished in 5th. 3. The weekly 650s are on Saturday instead of Sunday. That blows IMO. I don't want to waste part of my saturday night just ot bust on the bubble.

What's wrong with the payouts? they're just keeping the buyins for the sats as low as they can without getting too ridiculous w/ the top heaviness. Top 3 is fine to me. 3. yea, saturday is a bit gay.

I just did a search for prices for that week, the cheapest is 2665. I agree with exit on the rest of the stuff.

Re: 3 complaints about the Stars Bahamas satellites
I hear ya.. but I still really really want to take a shot at this, seems like there is no "easy" way to get in obviously, but the 165 shootout seems like the most reasonable.. Now to get my BR up to take shots at it.

[/ QUOTE ] I just read over the terms and conditions.. do they give you $2000 and you reserve your own room? or is it just that they estimate the value of the 7 days as $2000. The way they phrase it sounds like that's just the value they put on it.... but you would know, being that you went last year.

Re: 3 complaints about the Stars Bahamas satellites
Atlantis room rates and food prices are rediculously expensive. Check out their rates on the website.. $2000 is a bargain for 7 nights (well, compared to the posted rates anyway).
Food is stupid expensive as well, although with the standard meal plan Stars is offering this time you're going to be stuck with really expensive crappy food. I probably spent close to $1000 on food for 2 last time, and that even included swiping lots of snacks from the poker room [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] If this was Party it would be $5000 for room and food.

I'd rather have the $600 for 2-3 than 170 for everyone.

[/ QUOTE ] They have a block of rooms for the week, you get one from said block. Pray you don't stay in the room I was in last year. I was literally the farthest point from the poker room in the resort. Beach tower, 14th floor, last room. Was at least a 1 mile walk every day.
