CardsChat sends a member to the WSOP Main Event

#1 9th May 2008, 12:46 AM

Okay so KingCurtis and I were joking around that he's going to win the 09 and 2010 WSOP main event, and that I would beat him HU at the end of the 2011 WSOP ME to win it all and dethrone him.

That made me think ... is it possible to have some sort of thing where all CC members who want to pitch in do so and we put together a WSOP ME package? If we got 1,200 people it'd be like $12 a person. ($10k entry, $2k travel)

Maybe this has been discussed before. Just an idea, i'd be down lol

#2 9th May 2008, 12:51 AM

Problem is we would never have anywhere near 1200 people to participate.

#3 9th May 2008, 12:54 AM

i dont think we could get 1200 ppl putting up that much money ( if u want u can chip in 10,000 for the rest of us )

#4 9th May 2008, 12:58 AM

even half at 24$ and 300 people at 40$ might be hard....

i dont know i think something could occur though i mean possibly stopping a few of the freerolls maybe 1 or two a week and alternating then once we save up 5k then we could have a buyin i dunno,,,,,just thinking

NEVER!?!?! What kinda attitude is that!!!! Hahaha...

anything is possibly, I'm in.... now you just need 1,999 more people....

Okay how about just joining me in Vegas this July 4th weekend for a bender. I think tenbob would rule the city and declare himself "Emperor of Vegas" in a manner of minutes.

#7 9th May 2008, 1:06 AM

if i go to EPT, i will sell 1% of myself to CC

#8 9th May 2008, 1:18 AM

it doesnt have to be the main event, why not one of the 1,500$ events, you still get a bracelet. i played two years ago when they had a 1k event and first was still like quarter million.

party at my house if something like this happens!

#9 9th May 2008, 1:30 AM

Maybe that's the more realistic goal. Maybe have 50 to 100 of us get in on that and the winner gets a trip to vegas ($1k?) + entry to the $1500 WSOP event. $2500 total prize package?

50 players = $50
75 players = $33.33
100 players = $25

That seems ridiculously do-able. ChuckTs makes that in 24 seconds by 53-tabling $50nl. I think Zachvac makes that every time he takes a dump. I know for a fact if i ever rail KingCurtis he's good for $100.

Who's in?

Cardschat may have something lined up for WSOP 08. Working on it. Stay tuned.

#14 9th May 2008, 1:51 AM

Awesome. I'd definitely be down for a couple of events that were $50 or below for a crack at it. That said if this were to happen, I would really hope that the qualifier would have +100 posts (so we don't get the 10 post person) and they are legit CC people ... AND ... they have to post pics and full reports

Hopefully it includes paying for the fake IDs if the winner is under 21 .

#16 9th May 2008, 1:55 AM

and Nick with the good news although i cant play this year, but if this one turns out good ill be down for 2009 as i already explained to icemonkey im going to win then repeat in 2010!

#17 9th May 2008, 2:09 AM

How about if everyone agrees taking a small portion of all buy-in games prizes towards a wsop package?

#18 9th May 2008, 2:13 AM

$1500 No-Limit Hold'em (Event 49) | Sat, Jun 28th 12:00 PM (my b-day!) | 3-Day Event

I'll be there for this event ^^^ I heard their having fireworks there on the 4th of July for my birthday

It would be great to have someone representing CC there.

if you make the final table, will you wear a t-shirt that says "I LOVE YOU VANQ" on it plz

#20 9th May 2008, 2:41 AM

I think that if we put in 50 or 100 it would have a better chance. Obviously there arent alot of people that would want to try it, but I know I would and I am sure that there are a decent number that would. Even if it was like a large portion of the buyin, like a partial scholorship. =D
Everyone that wants to take a shot at it, chips in 100 and the winner gets that cash towards the trip (lets say for instance it was 3/4). I cant afford a buyin, but I would take a few different chances at smaller sats.

I've never played a LIVE game anywhere before in my life, the first one I don't believe it should be a $1500 buy in I'm going to rail a few CC'ers and vacation, hope to meet many of you there.

But, if one day it ever happens Vanq, I will consider it for eternity

#22 9th May 2008, 3:16 AM

I would be glad to participate in this any way I can.....my game is not yet up to wsop standards but I',m working on it for next year

I'd be in it but the $2500.00 wouldn't cover my airfare.

Just barely - United Airlines $2440 round trip Sydney to Las Vegas.

#26 9th May 2008, 4:33 AM

that would be so cool for the future! only being 19 right now could we have a package to the BC Poker Championships lol im planning on attending that event this year... be my first huge live tournament. that would be awesome to see a CC player in the WSOP in vegas.. does CC have any clothing that could be represented if we do send someone.. ? i think thats neccessary

#27 9th May 2008, 4:38 AM

guh, i cant play this year regardless.

next year!

#28 9th May 2008, 4:38 AM

I'm not even old enough to play in the WSOP, I'd play in anything you guys put together though and take the monies

#29 9th May 2008, 4:47 AM

Damn I feel like an old fart around here...

Why not? It's just like any other poker game. And if you get confused you can do like that guy in the USPC did and bet "2 orange and a purple chip".

Zorba and I would have to come out of Melbourne though, which would add another couple of hundred onto it

Regardless, I'd do it for a WSOP seat in a heartbeat.

#32 9th May 2008, 6:13 AM

Im down, i have not played for about 3 weeks but this is a great idea

#33 9th May 2008, 6:39 AM

So what do we do to get this to happen? Start a new thread "People Who Are Down for WSOP" or wait for Nick or a mod to make a comment and lead us?

PS - I'll be in Vegas July 4th weekend. Lets party.

What is the "cutoff" point cash wise? That seems like the most important fact, seeing how much everyone would be willing to put in and then figuring out how much we could get total.
