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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.
