For 5% of your WSOP earnings (if any), I can transfer you the money... just transfer to me somewhere else first. Pretty much any site BUT Paradise works for me. If you want to do it there, go with Geoff. You can trust him.

If the field gets to the point where there isnt much of an overlay, with only a 350 buy in and 11k needed for a seat , it awards basically 1 in every 32 a seat

Would people still go with this, or go with better options (double shootout 615 tourny etc)

I've won two big satellites that were tougher than that.

I still like it, but keep an eye on the Full Tilt 100 seat guarantee too (same day)... they may have a bigger overlay.

As it stands right now, let's see, $535 entry fee and < 1400 entrants. That's $700k in entries with a $1.2 million prize pool. I don't know if it will overlay or not - probably a lot of last minute direct buy ins.

If it gets to the point where there's that many players in the tourney for stars to not get much of an overlay, I would suspect that, that would mean a lot of fishes would be in the field. (Proportionally larger than a normal tourney of this nature).

Also because a lot of players have qualified on other sites already, like TP, it also eliminates a lot of the better players from being able to play in this.

By no means do I think it's going to be a walk in the park....but I can see much worse events to play in.

Also I never liked the Double Shootouts, because it usually means your second table will be juiced with 3 or 4 really good SNG players.

As soon as 1 more person busts out of this $7 rebuy I'm in. 1st time's a charm!

I don't play many of these, so somehow when it started at midnight I had registered, forgetting it would take 4 hours to take it down. Who needs sleep?

Done and done. $28.50 investment -----> $10 million, right?
