CardsChat 2010 WSOP Entry Fee MTT, Very Unofficial

freerolling ya way to the main event is the way to go

$50 tournament x 30 loyal members and the winner plays a $1500 event.

IMO I would rather play a bracelet event than the ME and have a better chance to cash/win (as if i would ever win) but better chance to cash.

Might wanna double that.. it costs money to get out there and hotel for a couple of days.

My viewpoint on this is - why does everybody have to take a swing at the Main Event? I realize its the "ultimate reward", but really, economics does come into play. Why not a smaller target like Event 54 ($1500 NLHE) a week or so before the ME. It would be a lot easier to put together a $2500-3500 package than a $12000 package.

This is clearly realistic. Going for a more modest amount would also allow good opportunities to satellite into the final.

When Pifan went last year, I think he got $1,500 for the buy in and $2k for the travel expenses. Or it was something like that.

$100 tourney with at least 35 people, then.....

CA Murray.... I've got an idea!!! Win as many of the CC tournaments as you can over the next 9mos., then parlay this money into satellites for bigger buyin tourneys online, ,then once you're rolled well enough, make a go of the $26-$75 buyins and with some decent cashes you should be on your way to the wsop to play not only the MainEvent but also a couple/few of the $1500 donkaments too.

Question about your plan... how would holding a series of 1500chip online tournaments decide upon the best player to play in a deepstack live event? I say we just send Poker Orifice, we all back him and then hopefully he cuts us in for 50% of the payout (of course with a reverse graduating payout scale in case he happens to run really deep in it as it just wouldn't be fair to expect him to part with 50% if his payout was in excess of $250k).
what do ya think?

Pre-pay for point based tournament series = simple enough.

Now this idea actually sounds cool!! Great idea AG.

I promise I won't wear the hat backwards except of course if Fulltilt offers me up a lucrative deal.

True, and it`s important to remember that CC regulars live all over the world. FP, who was our man this year, travelled half-way around the planet to get there, and that costs more than pocket change.

It`s also an argument, if I may say so, against aiming at anything less than the Main Event. If I want to play in a lesser tournament, I can do that a heck of a lot easier in London, or Dublin, or Paris. It`s the lure of the big one that makes it worth a major expedition, for those of us who don`t hail from the States.

Personally, if/when I get $1500 that I'm willing to spend on a WSOP entry, I'm wearing CC gear when I go. If everyone here who plans on going at some point in their life does this, CC will have representation.

Just a thought. CC rules!
