I went ahead and registered outside of Poker Stars. I suppose I could have saved some cash and registered for Event #3 with W$, but doesn't that tie you into a contract with them, force you to wear exclusively Stars gear, and so on? Meh - no thanks.
I'm totally with you for the Main Event thing, btw. I mean, it really is something and I'm glad I played in it last year, but if you give me the option of taking $11k cash to do with whatever I please instead, I just can't justify ponying up that kind of money on ONE poker tourney. I'd rather spend $4k in side events, $2k on TEN $200 events on Stars, and still have $5k left over to do whatever I want with (like other satellites, for example). I'm just making up numbers, but you get the point.
