Do they provide sattelites for the smaller buyin tournys?

All satellites are paid in wsop chips which can be used to buy in to any tournament. They run STTs constantly which I think are a far better bet than the mega satellites (structures are truly awful). A good range of buyins so you can start low and work your way up.

Nice info didnt realise thats the way they worked it! What stack, blind level intervals are you looking at for the stts?

Not great 10/15 minutes with 1k in chips I think. Didn't play as many as I should last year. I threw it all away on $500 megas. I think the best plan is to be there a few days before the event you want to play and play some cheap STTs to try and accumulate wsop chips. Enough to have more than one go at bigger stakes.

Thanks for the info folks. I'm going to be there in mid May when it looks like the sats haven't started, so maybe I'll just play some tournaments instead.

I guess the stts are all about getting the formula right anyway.
