WSOP 2009

[Dingdell]

I saw another forum were doing syndicate entries to DTD comps, with all final table participant's getting a % of the winners action at the comp. We did something similar on Blonde once - Kev how about doing somthing similar for buy ins into the WSOP?

If someone wants to put together a format/idea and there is enough interest, then I would gladly arrange it.

Ok - the idea is ; Run a series of satts to the wsop with all final table participant's getting a % of the winners action at the main event. All played on Blonde. 1 or 2 super sats a week culminating in 1 final every week with one winner from each final going onto play in the grand final at the end of the satt period - perhaps 1 month before final event.

Spam it on other forums and get new players in. Everyone one wants an easy way to win a seat into wsop. Depending on take up possible more than 1 seat available.

You do the maths as the card room manager.

LOL you make it sound so easy Trace.

I know    But it's probably not that hard with a calculator and a quiet hour supping tea and working it all out.

They are keeping the delay to the Main Event I see. I can't that sort of holiday so I won't play.







(as if I would)

[Colchester Kev]

Yeah doing it now...

Just working out what the buy ins for the sats would need to be to generate a prizepool that covers a WSOP buy in, flights and hotel for a week in Vegas and a bit of spending money.

[Colchester Kev]

Just enquiring if we can run sats with 2 runners ...

Yes but you could get a % of the blonde winner. So even if you don't win or play you may still cash.

Why not use Tracey's idea for smaller packages... Maybe the first $1000 event with some x's, start smaller.

[Dry em]

loads of juicy $1k-$2k nlhe comps what will the starting stack be in these?

Assume format will be same as last year, with "double stacks" ie 4k chips for a $2k comp

It would only be for the smaller events TBH ...

Like I said if someone can come up with a feasible format that will get enough interest, I will run them.

I will be honest and say right out that I do not think the support would be enough to fill sats, but I would love to be proved wrong.

In fact just to get some idea ...

I run a $200, 10 handed sat .. winner takes all ($2k) which pays for entry into a $1k WSOP event and exes.

Would we get 10 people who would play ? ... No cash alternative, MUST go to Vegas.

What about a $20 BI Kev, get about 30 Runners each week?

Do it over a number of weeks, say 4 weeks, which generates about $2400 to Prizepool, winner of League gets the package + the ppl in the top 5 get 5%/10%  each to encourage them to play the later sats if they cannot win it themselves?

I dunoo

I was referring to a direct buy in and was being tongue in cheek.............. doesn't work if you have to explain it.

[Bigfella]

How about a ten handed stt for $250 - winner gets $2500 for say buy in to a $1500 event plus expenses, with the 2nd and 3rd placers getting a percentage of any winnings?

- you posted a similar idea kev as I was typing. Not many $1000 events so $1500 better option IMO. I'd be up for it.

I like it ... could perhaps fill a couple of spots with feeder sats at $25 entry ..... its all down to interest from you guys.

thanks Glenn, ChipRich and others


give us 10 or more firm commitments to play these and we'll have every excuse to try to put these on.

Problem in the past has been people have said "yeah great" and then we haven't filled the sats, and these were sats for smaller buy in UK events

same for the Equal chance sats, until recently a real struggle to fill them at $66 buy in

You can see why we are a bit shot shy.

[DaveShoelace]

Wouldnt it just be easier for Flushy to buy everyone into the main event?
