I just earned my WCOOP freeroll seat.

20,000 entrants, only 50 seats available.

I played super aggressive early and donked out several others with premium hands

Now comes the hard part...

congratulations! I have not yet passed this tournament, but every day I try to do it!

I also won my entry today too :)

Just a "greedy" question: and if I win another entry, what happens?

Supertight play especially at beginning (very similar to online pokerschool), no bluffing especially at beginning :D, aggressive play with strong hands especially at beginning :D, take your time especcially at the END :D and the most important one big full fatass of luck especially at beginning but through whole tournament :D

I congratulate friend personally think that to earn that ticket with so many players who are very aggressive rather ho very crazy about playing too pulling all his chips.

felicitacioens alos another fellow who managed the ticket by winning that ticket is like winning a WCOOP wing Ticket Heee. Next satellite luck.:icon_thum

Well as this tournament is a satellite, you don't have to play to win it, you should play it to get in 50th place. When you realice that with the stack you have you have the ticket guaranteed, you should play no hands, evem AA.
Due to the huge number of players playing it and the little amount of tickets, you shouldn't bluff, but if you become too short, its time to steal blinds. If you play tight, and don't bluff it becomes easier

what is the structure on these? 15k-20k entrants and only 2.5 hours to get down to 50 players? ? damn.

Is very important to survive. So if you can, dont play All in. With small bets try to play any card for straights or flushes

Congrats to all the CC'ers winning seats!

I'm shocked that with 10k+ entrants these last only ~2.5 hours. Like someone said, even our 10 player league games often take that long, sometimes over 3 hours.

I rarely play MTTs anymore, especially freerolls, but on a whim since I had a ticket I played a depositor freeroll yesterday at intertops that had 301 entrants. I finished 6th after about 4 hours, and it ran another 1.5 hours after that. Oh, and the FT 25K Guaranteed I took down a few years ago had like 1350 runners and it took almost 8 hours. I realize these are donk-infested and many will bust out early, but I still find it hard to believe you can burn through so many players in such a short time outside of a hyper-turbo type of format.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if someone from CC actually won a ticket to a 5k WCOOP?

I have finished in the top 150 3 times ive played maybe 7 .

the closest I came was 78th though I was in the top 50 for a period of time towards the end

and also
128th
144th respectively.

The most important concept to grasp is when to push and when to raise.
also you have more chance of winning the pot by being first in, if your calling someones all in or raise alot of the time they will have a strong hand. which adventually will knock you out even if your holding QA KA or something dont call all ins. unless you need too

basically play honest poker early on, no bluffs and check your made hands to induce shove's and check call them to increase the donks chance of drawing to hands to induce them to pay you off on the turn/river

I've been playing these every day and I can't get through... The best I could do was around 140th place.

Congrats to everyone who made it.

On a tourney like this it is HIGHLY likely people will just donk off there stack, going all in with hands like 109, you just have to play tight as once you pick up a premium hand you should always get value for it.

I've been trying these tournaments occasionally as well, but I haven't managed to win a ticket yet. They have far too many entrants so your winrate is only 1/400 (excluding sitouts etc).
