Taking down a Big One.

[ACE2M]

I have set aside a decent chunk of bankroll in attempt to qualify for a big tourney wpt/wsop/ept etc (i bubbled for the wsop twice last year)

I want to do this online. Can someone give me a quick guide to the best sites to do this on, i'm just being lazy as i can't be bothered to trawl the sites looking for the sats.

Any other guidance etc would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

I think Stars is probably your best bet. Lot's of decent freezeouts to these events.

If you want to play rebuys to these events then Blue Square is your best bet, they run $200 rebuy sats to all the big events. And $54 rebuy sats to the EPT events.

Pokerstars are currently running satellites for two EPT events - Dublin at the end of this month (i think its the last qualifier this weekend) and Monte Carlo next march. they will also be running sats for the other EPT events nearer the time of the event itself.

The dublin sat consists of lots of small buy in ($5 & $12) turbo tourneys leading to saturdays $380 main satellite which you can buy directly into.

The Monte Carlo sats consits of both small buy in turbo tourneys plus some $25 rebuy normal mtts leading to a $650 main satellite at the weekend

They are also running sats for the WPT event at foxwoods - though that is mainly double shootouts and not many europeans play them as they are usually in the small hours of the morning

They are also running sats for the WPT Pokerstars Caribbean adventure which takes place in January.

The hold $5 rebuy turbo tourneys for seats in the $175 double shootouts (usually 2 DS held every day but first one isnt usually til about 12.30am our time) They hold $30 rebuy tourneys with 1 seat guaranteed (usually about 200+ runners but only 1 seat awarded) and lots of small buy in normal and turbo tourneys for the weekly $650 main satellite which is run at 10pm our time on a saturday.

They will also be holding freeroll tourneys for the caribbean adventure in early december. the first is for the top 150 tlb finishers from 01/01/2005 to 31/10/2005 and will be giving away 9 seats. the second is for the top 100 tlb finishers from 01/11/2005 to 30/11/2005 so those who havent enough points to win a place in the first freeroll can still try win a seat in the second freeroll which will award 4 free seats.

should keep you going til new year

p.s. dont know about anywhere else, i only play on pokerstars!! (in case you cant tell)

Just to add one Stars Sat. Matt has missed there for the Dublin EPT.

There is a $25 rebuy every night at 21:05 UK time for the weekly final that is good (as in non-turbo)

As far as i'm aware there are still two weeks worth of foxwoods sats to run - go into events on the main lobby then WPT then cash satellites - you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page and they are usually in purple font colour.

sorry owner, didnt know about the normal $25 rebuy sats into the EPT - i have been complaining about there only being turbo sats into the $360 main events as i hate them with a passion (they are just a crap shoot with no skill involved at the end) and usually just buy in direct to the $360. have sent numerous emails to support though, maybe they finally took notice, they cant have been running long though as they didnt have them for the barcelona, london or baden events.

Also forgot to mention that they also run FPP events into all EPT events and the WPT caribbean adventure so if you've got several thousand FPP points and moneymaker and fossilman posters arent your thing then you could use them up playing these satellites instead.......
