Pokerstars WCOOP series

If you win a tournament do they actually send you a Bracelet? that would be unreal.

With Ftops they do.

Man I didn't realize just how slow those WCOOP extreme satellites were. It took me a little while during the mid second hour to realize that the using up of time was what I should be doing, along with everyone else at my table to get to the top 281.

So I surfed the net and never played another hand, just allowed my time to run out each time and used up the time bank. Ended up getting one of the $215 tickets, now to figure out which WCOOP event I want to enter.

I still have one Step 2 ticket left over from last year so I'm thinking I'll try it once more or maybe go play a Step 2 SnG to get a Step 3 ticket and try one of the higher ones.

Yea - once you reach a certain point if you have enough chips to get in there is no point in getting involved in any hands - except maybe to get rid of some short stacks with your premium hands.

I have another step 2 ticket so will probably try for a $215 game today. You can also use them for some $320 games.

Hey Dakota I am having trouble getting into a 180 mtt, when do you play them the most recently, it might just be lack of traffic for them in the times I play in England.

 

[Debi]

Yea - it is so sad that these things don't fill up because they are so easy to beat. I can usually only play 1 a day because they don't fill up. It is usually in the early afternoon in the US.

I don't know what your schedule is like but if you are typical working til 5 or 6pm check it as soon as you get home - you should be able to get in it.

I think the prize pool is 10 mill btw and not the first prize .

Yup, thats what I said: 10,000,000 prize pool. First is still 35% of the total 10mil though, making it a fairly juicy 3.5 million dollars for first spot.

I think McCluskey was refering to your remark about "more than the World Series Main Event" The main event was more like 80,000,000 or so (not exact, but closer)

Sory guys I'm a little confused.

If I win the the $27 Extreme Satellite (100 seats) Tourney,

what do I qualify for???

It says you qualify for the WCOOP Extreme Satellite H $215 Winners) Tourney...but is that tournament a big cash tourney? or is it another tourney you need to win to qualify for one of the big ones?

Why even bother going to the wsop with payouts like these?

You win a ticket that can be used for any of the $215 WCOOP events.

Huh?

 

[Debi]

I now have a $215 ticket and will be playing in the NL game on either Sept 13th or 20th.

 

[MDTed]

I'm for sure playing in the $215 game on Sunday Sep 13.

I was trying to decide which to pick, I'll be out of town on Labor Day weekend and I wanted to play one far enough in advance of the main event just in case I won enough money to play in the main event.

So I guess I'll see whoever else is playing on Sept 13.

 

[Debi]

I will probably play in that one too - we will start a rail thread that day.
