Those are the regulars off the top of my head with the roll and game to take a serious shot in satellites that are more than a crapshoot.

I assume it was a satellite to a satellite? I don't see a $3 tournament coming up with a 10k prize pool...

With 750-1000 players and a promotinal tie in a $3R&A could easily afford to give away one seat with change left for second place. Hence, my crapshoot comment. There is a pretty good chance someone on this site will win an event like that.

Does anyone know what would happen if someone under 21 won a WSOP satellite? I assume they would receive cash compensation or something.

You probably could sell it to a pro. Happens all of the time.

I'll win a seat, sometime after coming back from Monte Carlo (at the airport right now). Count on it. It'll be my main focus after coming back.
I sold half my W$, but still have 7.5k of them. Its more of a question, to me, of how much of my W$ it'll take.
Good luck to everyone in satellites!

1) My MTT game is nowhere near that strong.
2) I'm several times better of a player online than offline.
3) I'm too level headed to drop $10k on one result. Consider that Soupie usually plays 4 events every day where he's probably one of the top 10-20 players in the event. On a good day he finishes ITM in 2 of those events. Many days he doesn't money at all.

You had 15k in W$, that is just insane... W$ are similar to T$ correct? What does W$ stand for?

They're Tourny dollars he was given because he won a seat to Monte Carlo and then won ANOTHER one, he could only take one seat so they gave him 15000 W$

* WPT Caribbean Adventure 2005 (PCA)

* Word Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP)
You can check your W$ balance at any time by visiting the cashier window in your PokerStars lobby.

Damn, Fnord....you hurt my feelings. Anyway, I'm not sure what your definition of serious stab is, but I plan on putting some time and money behind the effort. Played the $33 R&A Saturday with Rada and Rippy and placed 49th

Anyone that wins through PokerStars will have to be wearing PokerStars clothing to get a free hotel room. Probably similar for other sites as well.

If you seriously want FTR gear on the WSOP, probably your best shot would be to come up with a staking agreement with Soupie. But even that is a longshot...

I saw somewhere where someone was selling W$ for cash. You might be able to .75 on the 1.00 if you wanted to go bad enough. That may be an idea to help get a seat.
If someone won a seat through stars in the main event, they may be able to buy-in directly to one of the other events or something with smaller stakes and get FTR some exposure that way and still maybe have their room payed for.
Do they run satellites to some of the non-main event tournaments? If you already have a seat to main event, maybe winning a direct satellite to one of the other events while you are there would be a way to get some FTR exposure without violating any other agreements.

Interpoker was running a 2 for 1 special, I don't know if it is still going on. Win an entry into the main event and they will give you and entry in to the $500 or $1500 (not sure which) buy-in event for free.
I'm not sure they regularly televise the small buy-in events??? Ive seen: Limit, Raz, PL Omaha, and the Main HE event....Hmmm

They do televise the smaller events. I remember seeing Chris Fischman win a bracelet. I think it was the 1500 Nl tourey. They were touting it as the battle of the dealers, because three or four at the final table were ex or current poker dealers. They are televised far less than the ME obviosuly, but they are still televised to some degree. As much as they replay all the wsop events, the exposure would be good publicity nonetheless.

Hey I will make you guys a deal,
Everyone chips in to stake me into any of the events (just the buy-in, i live 90 minutes from vegas and can sleep at my house) and I will head to toe wear FTR gear. I will get an FTR tatoo, and I will spell out FTR with my stack of chips on the table.
oh ya, and i will put up whatever I win as prize money for a FTR members only tourny.
deal?

I think for anyone to consider it, you'd have to put up at least half of your funds. That way everyone would know you have something to lose also, not just anyone who may stake you in it.
Or you could rent your house out to anyone going who needs a spot to crash. If enough people take you up on it, that might pay for a buy-in by itself.

both great ideas. consider them added to the deal.
serious, my house is dope too, i got a pool and a hot tub, anyone who is going to vegas and needs a place to stay can crash on my couch, and i will go down and sit at the tables with you or whatever. consider this an open invitation

I'll be there. Moving down there after school lets out. Going to direct buy into a few of the earlier events. Dont know yet on the main event, I've got someone that will stake half, but I dont want to be staked if possible.

Fair enough!!! Ill do everything he said plus if I dont make the money ill let all the admins punch me in the face as hard as they can or kick me in the nuts medium hard. Thats in place of putting up my own money.

Bah, in a $30 rebuy satelliete that only gave one entry, but just needed 2.2k more in the prizepool to pay out two packages, I finished 2nd today. 
I lost two big all in preflop races with AK at the final table, after getting there with the biggest stack. By the time it was heads up, the other guy had a 4 to 1 chiplead on me, and I couldn't get the double up I needed to make it interesting.
