Stars WCOOP

Is anyone playing in the WCOOP on Stars? Normally this would be too expensive for me but I managed to qualify to play through the Steps SnGs. I think I'm going to take a vacation day from work and play the first tourney, $1,000,000 guaranteed NLHE on Friday the 5th.

Going to do 1 or 2 of the $215 buy-ins

glglgl

Might have a crack at a step one during the week after my tilt calms down,

Gl Alon and Irexes

A hypothetical question, say I get to step three can I un-register and use the funds to start form step one again?

I thoguht they just had steps to the main event and the big plo event?

don't think so, i think you play till the end step or until your out

I qualified for the $320 heads up tourney once and the $530 NL holem 6 times. So I will play both of those and I will probably qualify for the $5200 main event and play in that one.

Working my way to the PLO event.

Good luck everyone, hope to see you at the final table if you're in the first event.

So when you get to the step tourney that has an equal buy-in of a WCOOP game, you can use the step ticket for that tourney? Wow, I'm gonna be playing these

I didn't think it was all that hard to do. Step 1 was actually the hardest with 3 payouts (2 advances and a replay). If I remember right, step 3 has 5 payouts (2 advances, 2 step 3 replays and a step 2 replay) I may be wrong though.

What I find is it is hard to find the steps to play.

Looking now, midnight in UK, looking @ Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Stud, HORSE, and at present there is one step 2 game with 3 people waiting. It has been like this for over an hour.

They were actually going quite often

Im on my way to enter some $215 events I have 4 step 3 tickets. Its a very good deal. The only problem for me is getting past the level one there are manic players just shoving trying to get a large stack.

Well I'm waiting to play the step 4 for the PLO event #30. It's an 18 table. I think I'm gonna have to wait for a while.

I hear you it seems like there are only 10 a day. Good luck!!

I'm reg'd for the first event on Friday

Anyone else in? 30 minute blinds levels will be teh fun!

Depending on my schedule I'll try to play in a $215 event. Also I'll check out the steps, those seem to be relatively soft.

After this sng im playing I am gonna try a step one, but if I dont make it then I will just see its not meant to be this year for me.

arg i dunno what to do, i feel i should play in at least 1 event purely because its the WCOOP, but i really don't want to play in a really long tourny

Argh decisions decisions, ill probably end up just playing a new event like the 2-7 single draw or something just because i feel i have to

I won a step 4 ticket, decided to play step 5..... you can guess the f**king rest .

Think I'm gonna shoot to satty into event #6.

I'm going to ****ing kill someone. I've taken 3rd place 3 times in event one, finally decided to just buy into step 2, guess what place I got there? Got another ticket so another shot. I'm sick of playing with 5 big blinds and having to race for the ticket though.

I'm registered! Deep stack is definitely not my favorite but will give it my best. Doesn't look like they're going to break for the day so I'm guessing a 16+ hour tourney if they get the amount of people I think.

ill try to get into a smallish one hopefully, gunna have to win my way in with fpps or something

gl gl gl gl gl. Remember to play patient in the tourney, so that that day off will not be wasted. lol. And thats a huge tourney it sounds like! I wish i had that kind of money to play in it. Alright dude, take the tourney down!

ok won a ticket for round 4. If it fills up I'll be playing it shortly, otherwise I'll try it tomorrow. Top 3 get a ticket to event 6 ($530 NLHE), 4th gets $210, which if I win I will use to pay for buying in directly. 5-9 get nothing so I'll have to make sure not to finish 5th - 9th .

wow! wish i could play in one of those... im still building up my stack and playing in $1 turbos. having a loosing streak this pass few days... it'll be a big loss for me if don't win in the 1st step. GL to you guys!!!

Potsize: 3245

River:
5♥

Im still trying ,thouse steps are killing me

I wish I had the bankroll. I will if one of you is willing to stake though... just think of how much money you can win from my mad skills =) just kidding, just kidding...

I like the fact that they give you options once you reach step 4, I'm still gunning for a ticket
