ok... i still have 8 years to go till i can leagly play in wsop.... but listen to this.... in bluff magazine i read that wsop will not be alowing any online satalite winners to play in the main event.... all because the damn government... ok i may only be 13 but i think thats a bunch off bull! we realy need to find out how to do something about this

hott_estelle · Apr 9, 2007

Uh, I don't know how true that is, but they're running satellites into the WSOP Main Event daily on PokerStars. And since they're the biggest online poker site and business around, I'm sure they're pretty reliable.

I don't think you got your information down correctly.

Tammy · Apr 9, 2007

It would help though, if you were old enough to vote.

Mixtape Massiah · Apr 9, 2007

ok im sorry i read that wronge,,, US citisens that have won in by satalite all other nations are fine i guese

Mixtape Massiah · Apr 9, 2007

o and juiceeq even if i could vote it wouldnt make a diference.... we live in a republic not a democracy.... the congress and president and other "important people" make the decisions.... we just put those important people in the powerfull positions... lol i learned that when we were studing about ancient rome =) lol

Oh dear god. What are they teaching the kids these days?

And back to your U.S. citizen thing, I'm pretty sure they still allow U.S. citizens to win satellites into the WSOP too, I could be incorrect, but I'm think they allow it.

Mixtape Massiah · Apr 9, 2007

WSOP Strikes U.S. dot.net Sites

"Dont expect the WSOP to be the circus it was last year. Officials have decided that they can't take advertising from dot.com sites that accept US players nor the dot.net sites affiliated with them. So keep your dot.net stickers at home. with fewer avenues for players to win their seats online, expect the number of entrants in the Main event to go down... way down"

Jack Daniels · Apr 10, 2007

As I recall, the big stink about this was not that online sites couldn't give away entry fees, it was that the WSOP was not going to allow third party online registrations. Basically, if you won your seat at Stars in the past, they would sign you up and pay the fee and you're in. Now, if this actually holds true, they can run the promo and you can win, but they will have to give you the $$ to register yourself or keep it.

You are a smart kid. So listen to this. I've played poker for money for a long time. If you want to play in the WSOP, get there by playing live in card rooms, when you're old enough. Online poker is a sucker play. Dont play online. All these people here who think they are going to make a living online are deluding themselves. The ones who say they already are are lying. If you think about it hard, you will be able to figure out why what I say is true on your own.

Where did you get your facts sir?

dj11 · Apr 10, 2007

I had heard this before, and what I gleened from it was there is a problem with how they did it in the past. But there are so many ways to avoid using the US banking system and /or electronic moving of money from an online site that by WSOP time, it will all be moot.

Without the gazillion bucks online puts into the WSOP, it will become 'just another tournement with a fancy name'.

The only good that might come of it would be for the existing pros, who might actually have a chance then.

Kids these days...
Same thing with "they're".

For a thirteen year old-I think even though he can't spell, he has a fairly sophisticated sense of what our government is and isn't. I too remember the fall of the Roman Empire. Seems pretty savy for 13.

But alot of the WSOP winners are playing freeroll tournements and winning their seats in freeroll events on FullTilt. Nothin ellegal about that! (And they think they can spoil all our fun)

pfredseesred · Apr 11, 2007

p.s.: As you can see- I can't spell either

Mixtape Massiah · Apr 11, 2007

ok i can spell and all that good stuff i just txt/IM alot... i usualy use the shortest/fastest things i can ex: you=u and=/ and as the pic up there.... you are/you're=your and they are=there im usualy good with using "their" lol but yeah....

Yes darling, but this a forum, not your cell phone. I for one would really appreciate as close to proper grammar as possible (internet speak gets on my last nerve

). Of course it doesn't have to be perfect, but at least try.

Correct. This year you may see quite a few people running down the hallway away from the Amazon room as they were just handed their $10K by a PS rep and decided to make a dash for it. But before they'll reach the casino floor they'll have to dodge the temptation of plunking that $10K down in the massage room....the Penn & Teller show....or that cafe with the blueberry muffins.
