PokerStars = WSOP

CleBrownsfan · 07-10-2006, 12:05 PM

Any of you going to attempt any satellites or direct buy in for the 7/16 $350+$20 150 guaranteed WSOP seats?

There are a shit load of satellites for this tournament. Worth a shot...

cartman · 07-10-2006, 12:22 PM

Yep, I'm planning on trying to enter. However, due to the number of satellites, I'm expecting over 10,000 entries in that Sunday tournament. It'll be like a freeroll for the first hour.

That's when you play like a rock and hope you get some hands early

Is it possible to watch these types of tournaments on PokerStars?

Yep, as long as the tourney is not private, you can watch the tables in play.

Yes - under Tourney tab - satellite - and choose a running tourney. You can filter the tournaments but clicking Sate column. On the bottom of the screen you'll need to click off show registration/upcoming only so it will show all tournaments. Make sense??

mooreadamc · 07-10-2006, 01:34 PM

Ya I think I got it, thanks for the help. So this event is on Sunday?

yeah - I really hope I can get a seat for it 'cause I don't want to fork over $370 to play it. I just feel this may be your best shot to win a seat.

sabotai · 07-10-2006, 01:41 PM

Next year, I'll probably take a few stabs at this through some of the satellites.

kcchief19 · 07-10-2006, 01:42 PM

I spent $9 in the $3 rebuy satellite to win a seat in the $33 rebuy cash qualifier. That's roughly 1 in 250 chance for seat. 1 in 30 is the rough ratio for the $350 qualifier.

Is it pokerstars where you need to have at least the tourney buy-in in your account to watch?

(i.e. you don't pay anything but you need to have a big enough bankroll that you could play, if you want to watch.)

I've watched before with $0 in my account. You can't talk to players if you weren't in the tourney but I still think you can watch..

Jas_lov · 07-10-2006, 02:27 PM

Has anyone done the WSOP round 2 freerolls with 1,000 FPPs? I have 1,200 FPP logged up so I was thinking this may be worth a shot. You have to win it, but it's free and what else am I going to use the points on? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the fields are probably 500+ but they're running 3 of them this week.

For sure try it... I've played in one this year and one of last year. Both got busted pretty early with some (of course) horrid bad beats. It's very very loose play in the beginning so just be patient. Winning a seat to the WSOP for free using FPP points would be simply amazing!!

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:13 PM

Playing right now in the $7 +R sat. After 2nd break there are 85 left and top 18 get seats to Sunday's super sat.

I'm currently in 61st with $10k in chips, but one double up and I am right back in it.

Leader has $49k.

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:32 PM

Just won with QQ vs. AK to move up to $20k in chips.

63 players left.

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:36 PM

Took down blinds with KK and AK on back to back hands.

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:38 PM

Damn. Went up with AQ vs. AK and hit a Q on the flop, but he hit a ten on the river for a straight.

Down to $13k

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:46 PM

got QQ again, bout to make a move...

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:47 PM

No callers. Up to $17k now

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 05:50 PM

Called a 2x BB raise with KJs in the cutoff seat. (Blinds are 600/1200 75 ante)

Hit a K on the flop. Player bet 1200 and I raised to 3500. Got a call and went all-in on the turn. Player folded.

Up to $25k

Barkeep49 · 07-10-2006, 05:58 PM

Up to $39k as I win with 77 on a A3K board

GoldenEagle · 07-10-2006, 06:11 PM

Big stack - $90k

My stack - $40k (19th)

Top 18 get a seat.

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 06:29 PM

Oh F me.

sabotai · 07-10-2006, 06:30 PM

Ouch. Horrible river there.

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 06:31 PM

Guy raised to $12k in early position. I have JJ and go all-in for $23k.

He turns over QTs.

Flop is 4KT
Turn is a J
River is an A

And I'm out in 30th.

Fouts · 07-10-2006, 08:16 PM

Nice run King.

Unrelated topic but I just bought an XM Radio. Does anyone know if poker tournaments are ever covered? And if so which channel should I be looking at?

CleBrownsfan · 07-11-2006, 11:32 AM

Sirius has coverage at night on 122 & 125 - not that it helps you w/ XM

CleBrownsfan · 07-11-2006, 09:52 PM

Thanks for the luck - much will be needed. It's pretty much a 1 and 30 chance of getting a seat. It starts @ 4:30 on Sunday (EST)...

20 min blinds so I can play my game w/out feeling rushed...

Jas_lov · 07-12-2006, 11:28 AM

Well I tried the 1,000 FPP satellite last night and I just never got anything going. I picked up aces twice and got no action. Picked up queens, no action. The one time I had AK I missed the flop, and was forced to move all in with J 10 vs. 88. Flop comes Q 9 6 and I pick up 6 more outs so I've got 12 outs, board pairs the 6 on the turn taking away 2 of my outs and of course I don't hit on the river and bust out 99th. I would recommed this to anyone who has FPPs built up. Blinds were 20 minutes I think so there was no rush, just play tight early. There was only 318 entrants, which was a lot less than I expected there to be and getting through 318 people is difficult but certainly not impossible.

Good luck on Sunday CBF, you'll have to keep us posted during the tourney.

Barkeep49 · 07-12-2006, 11:34 AM

318 people is a very reasonable amount to play through. It's very tempting at odds like that.
