WSOP 2010 Thread. Feed your wild side revisited

[TightEnd]

The WSOP begins this week and on this thread we'll post the Press releases, results and news and views about the WSOP 2010. I will be in statistical heaven. 

Please add to it, as I know many of you will be playing events and are still qualifying for the amin like Rupinder Bedi last night and Curtis Ledger on Friday

Good luck to you all

I'm pretty much done with poker to have a much needed break, but I'm going to do it Girgy style and still play. If anyone knows some good value WSOP Main event sats please could they post them in this thread?

Not keen on paying $600 a time to enter them but anything $200 and below would be maaaaaaaarvellous. Thx

[KarmaDope]

Only ones $200 and below I can think of are the double shootouts on Tilt.

Try full tilt super turbo steps starting at step 3 for $26

[GreekStein]

are there no mtt $100f's where you get like 1k players and 10 seats / similar?

[Sheriff Fatman]

I got my seat the cheap-ass way, initially via the Fult Tilt Steps, then into a double shootout.  Started at level 1 ($3.30 buy-in), got this upto a Step 5 ticket.  I used this to buy into a $216 double shootout, which I won on the first go.

Not quite as cheap as it sounds, as I'd played a few of the $8.70 and $26 super sats to the double shootout, but total outlay still less than $200.

You could always start at a higher level Step to save some effort.  Personally I think the 18man Steps in particular are good value at level 2 and 3 as they give tickets to the top 5 players (and 6-8 get a ticket to retry the same level) so the odds are pretty good on these.  Most of the others are top 1-2 places only.  Once you're at level 4 then the 6 and 9 man ones are the only ones which seem to run fairly regularly.

Bit of a grind for some perhaps, but it proves that it's possible to qualify, even if you don't want to chuck huge amounts of money at it.  I'd planned to spend maybe $750 total giving it a go this year so super-sats and steps were the best way for me to spin this out as much as possible.

odds on you halving that when u get out there? thats a lot of poker.

[Rupert]

Ah yeah is just list of everything that if I feel like playing i'll play.  Will probs miss good deal of them

[claypole]

I fly Saturday - BA from Heathrow.  Looking forward to my 11 days - loose plan is a mad weekend for Memorial Day catching up with a load of old friends only in town for the weekends.  Looking forwad to this year - recent win in 100k on Laddies (blatant brag) means despite my shocking play and variance of a man with a job - I am playing pressure free this year.  Schedule, not as planned as Rupert - however loosly

WSOP = Event #5 31/5 , and #8, 2/6 or #11, 5/6

Venetian = remianing days of no action

Caesars = when i donk out at Venetian pre 4pm

If anyone is flying solo and wants a beer drop me a message here or facebook Shaun Conning .....my predictions for my trip.  Staying at Aria and looking forward to the poker room and City Center
