Let's all try to get into this tournament!!
 
Stars satellite to the WSOP Main Event:

Special Event: On Sunday, July 16 at 4:30pm ET our Sunday Million is stepping aside to give you 150 chances to go to the World Series of Poker. That is minimum $1,800,000 guarantee! Satellites for this $370 buy-in, No Limit Hold'em event, start at only $5.50.

Read that again... $370 buyin for a chance at 150 Seats worth $10k+extras EACH!

I will be playing in this for sure.

Talking Poker 03-13-06 12:57 AM

Man.... I'd love to play in that. But Stars already told me if I win a seat through them, it would be like throwing money out the window. :(

Full Tilt, on the other hand, is trying to accomodate people who already have seats. They are revising their Terms and Conditions now and will be getting back to me when they are finalized.

eejit101 03-13-06 01:05 AM


your serious? sunday the 16th July, 4:30 pm or 10:30pm GMT?

shit, im in

holdemstewart 03-13-06 08:31 AM

Shit, with my luck, Id get into this just for the hell of it and actually win one. Since Im only 18 it would be worthless to me.

Will Stars let you sell WSOP seats?

BDMK 03-13-06 09:52 AM

id rather enter FTP's own similar promo:



in fact, the funny thing is, FTP came up with this promo concept weeks ago and stars just 'copied' them on it the other day. :p

bunny 03-13-06 12:39 PM

I fancy this one a lot more.

Now, all I need is a FullTilt account. Wonder if TP has any bonus offers on this one?

MAYHEM45 03-13-06 12:59 PM

Both on the same day. hmmmm. I guess if FT will let you use the 10k seat in the prelims then I might just try to get in both.

Aequitas58 03-13-06 08:50 PM

I hope you are asking TP - because unlike me: he actually goes to and participates in the WSOP. I, on the other hand, grind out low limit NL games, and waste my profits on MTT buyins.

In at attempt to answer, I'm pretty sure you cannot sell your seat.

Talking Poker 03-13-06 09:12 PM

I don't think there are ANY sites out there that will let you sell the first one you win, but most of them will let you sell any additional seats you win.

The problem comes about when you win "first seats" on multiple sites. Hence, me not playing in any more WSOP satellites, even though I would love to.

bigmac024 03-14-06 12:54 AM

well dang...looks lik it dont matter to me either...have little chance of wining somethign lik that anways...excpcially with no money

Talking Poker 03-14-06 01:16 AM

You know, posting over and over throughout the forum about having no money probably isn't going to get you any money. You'd be better off spending your time selling Big Macs (pun intended).

eejit101 03-14-06 01:40 AM

Not to go off topic but why join a poker forum designed for cash players when u have no money?

And i am already working on staking 3 people in this.

Question TP - if u win a seat can u transfer it free to someone else?

eejit101 03-14-06 01:43 AM

Quote from the Full Tilt promo -

We've loaded our schedule with lots of great WSOP tournaments, giving you tons of chances to win a seat to the Main Event. And, if you win multiple WSOP Main Event seats, you could become our King of the WSOP which will get you first-class airfare, and upgraded suite at the Rio Hotel, 24 hour limo access, and a crown on the avatar of your choice for one year. So, with all of this and an extra $10 million up for grabs, why would you play anywhere else?


So u get nothing back from winning the second seat, just first class air, slightly bigger suite, a limo ( not that u need it ) and a crown?

Id rather have the $10k, or them put me in 2 prelims

MAYHEM45 03-14-06 01:46 AM

I hope this is ON TOP of the 10k, because all of that doesnt sound like its worth 10k to me.

Oh and PS. why is it that this site attracts 12 year old retards with 12c to their name?

eejit101 03-14-06 01:48 AM

The air fare is about $4k i reckon
The limo on call with be another $2k ish
The suite might be $2k in WSOP week, depending on quality
The crown is worth 5 mins of some geeks time.

So maybe they will try and pass it off.

And i agree about the $0.12 guy.

MAYHEM45 03-14-06 02:03 AM

Eejit, care to explain about the staking that you are offering?

Talking Poker 03-14-06 02:06 AM

Of course not. That's on top.

And as I keep saying (at least it feels like it), most sites say you have to play the first seat you win with them, so as of now - no, I wouldn't be able to transfer it to someone else. Full Tilt is considering changing their terms though. When I emailed them, I suggested they give me the same extra prizes (cash, travel, whatever) but instead of a 10k Main Event Seat, 10k worth of entries to other WSOP events. I believe they are considering it...

eejit101 03-14-06 02:22 AM

The staking is in the pipeline, ill let this forum know as and when i get it going. it basically involves me forking out $1,500 for 5 entry for 5 people. Ill let u know as i said.

TP - sorry, but u didnt answer my question. If i win a seat, and its the first ne ive won ever, on any site, for this WSOP, can i transfer it to another player, if we settle out of their site jurastriction? And if so, which sites?

redbank09 03-14-06 07:01 AM

you are required to use the first seat on any site that you win with the name registered to the account.

Talking Poker 03-14-06 10:49 AM

No.

I'm not sure how to answer this any more clearly.

bigmac024 03-14-06 05:09 PM

im not sayin i always have no money...just statin the fact i went tilt and lost it all..sorry i felt lik blowing off some steam...yes real money is what i can get...and i have the right to say i lost all my money..not lookin for much money anways because few weeks will have my own anyways...not lik it matters that much but ok sorry

Reel Deal 03-14-06 05:34 PM

In the words of Sweet Lou...

GG grammer. :D

redbank09 03-14-06 07:05 PM
