Official WSOP roll call

[TylerK]

The satellites are running, anyone manage to procure a WSOP seat yet? (Or anyone with way too much money buyin in directly?)

[Sykedupp]

I came 2nd in a $3R tourney that only rewarded 1st place (2nd place got money)..... won $129 but didnt get my seat oh well...

Hopefully somebody else will be luckier then me.

Soupie

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'd love to see one of these guys make it, or anyone from FTR for that matter. Someone make us proud!

[Corey]

Ive been honestly thinking about it but my br isnt quite big enough plus most of the satellites are rebuys.

myself and rebuys havent quite gotten along as of yet

Don't forget about Rippy!

[thestrokes]

Anyone who gets a seat most deinitely has to wear some FTR gear.

Represent.

[Fnord]

Don't forget about Rippy!

I didn't, he doesn't have the roll and is currrently a little burned. Long story, if he wants to talk about it publicly I'm sure he will.

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

[Fnord]

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.

[Radashack]

I played one of the $33 R&A's so far, came in like 90 something.

[lolzzz_321]

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

[Sed]

there is probably a disclaimer on the site telling you exactly what happens.

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

[iwa]

I think if a FTR member goes they should wear FTR clothing to represent us at the main event ... Fnord, you should go... take me with you if you do

I'll qualify and represent FTR! Now does anyone have any stilts and fake moustaches I can borrow?

[iwa]

Dont forget a voice coverup... no squeeking at the final table

[michael1123]

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!

Remember what you promised me when you FT the WSOP.

REMEMBER!

-'rilla

[Fnord]

Fnord, you should go...

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.

[ngericl]

Don't forget about Rippy!

I didn't, he doesn't have the roll and is currrently a little burned. Long story, if he wants to talk about it publicly I'm sure he will.

Maybe we all can pitch in $.02?

D'oh! That was just mean. Sorry.

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

[a500lbgorilla]

What does W$ stand for?

Way better than you.

-'rilla

[Legendash]

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$

For those stuck behind a firewall this is what that link says:

When you qualify to any special event through a satellite, you have the option to unregister from the target event and receive W Dollars* (W$). These W$ Dollars can be used to register in any other qualifying PokerStars special tournament, including Sit & Gos, and satellites. If you win multiple seats to the same target event, the value of these seats will be automatically credited to your W$ Dollar account. Current W$ special events include:

* WPT Caribbean Adventure 2005 (PCA)
* The European Poker Tour (EPT)
* The World Cup of Poker (WCUP)
* Word Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP)

You can check your W$ balance at any time by visiting the cashier window in your PokerStars lobby.

If you have any questions about your W$ please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

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

[elipsesjeff]

I should go for the LHE event.

Wait, I'm not a woman, damn.

[michael1123]

Remember what you promised me when you FT the WSOP.

REMEMBER!

Thankfully, I have no idea what you're talking about.

2) I'm several times better of a player online than offline.

That's one of my problems too, but you can only improve with experience.

[ilikeaces86]

I wish I was 21

[Eric]

It'd be really nice to see someone with FTR gear on tv. Hopefully someone can pull through...

[michael1123]

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.

[Fnord]

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...

[Gatlin Dan]

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.

[DavSimon]

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

[Gatlin Dan]

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.

[The_Cheat]

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.

[The_Cheat]

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

[michael1123]

They also only televise the final tables of some of the smaller events.

[Chicago_Kid]

I should go for the LHE event.

Wait, I'm not a woman, damn.

Rilla should wear the FlopTurnRilla logo...brilliant...

[Trikflow77]

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.

You've got your FTR gear handy?

-'rilla

[BoondockSaint]

I got a guaranteed way to get FTR hella attention. All you guys split my buy in to the WSOP and I swear to god all I will wear is a ftr thong and an extra small ftr t shirt or something. When is the WSOP anyway I may be living in vegas by then anyway.

[ilikeaces86]

haha
Id love to see it!

[Trikflow77]

[/quote]You've got your FTR gear handy?

If Im staked then I have to wear some gear for a company, but I really want to fly solo and keep all that I win.

It's in June/July this year.

Here's a lilnk to a break down of the events and what days they are on:

http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/wsop.asp

[michael1123]

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.

no stealing my ideas weiner!

[maxxscam]

i'll probly be taking a run at it, i will most likely be goin to vegas with a few friends to play in some satelites down there, july 5th and if i make it in then great if not i will probly play the 1500$ event on the 11th

I'm gonna try to qualify online just won a 200$ satelite seat, for a tourney on the 26th so that'll be my first stab at it.

[black666]

anyone so far??

[michael1123]

Me. I forget, is anyone else on FTR going?

Me. I forget, is anyone else on FTR going

Wwonka.

[Eric]

Go michael1123!

[The_Cheat]

I made the final table of a live Satellite today in Wendover. Gotta go back on monday to play the rest of this shit out. The suspense is killing me. I am third in chips out of Nine guys...

anyone with any last second pointers? PM me or E-Mail me or something cause i am really freakin out about this tourny. I am not really a MTT kind of guy, i have just been making hella ballsy plays and have almost pooped my pants like 15 times.

there were 250 entrants. top 2 go to WSOP main event. All of us at teh final table can choose entrance into a 1,500 event + travel or 3k cash. I am gonna take the cash if I dont main event.

[Xianti]

michael1123 and wwonka got WSOP Main Event seats?

michael1123 and wwonka got WSOP Main Event seats?

Yep.

[Xianti]

Wow.. that's awesome!!


Good luck, you guys! Represent!

[black666]

Me. I forget, is anyone else on FTR going?

Congrats man! I'm curious, which satelite did you win?

[bigred]

Can you bring some bigred gum and say on camera "I love my bigred"

[LeFou]

Me. I forget, is anyone else on FTR going?

Man, if they have $10 SNGs I am SO there...

[Les_Worm]

I believe he got his seat playing the WSOP steps on Party.

[Curtis-E]

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

Most sites clearly say that you must be 21. Some also say that regardless of age, you cannot sell your seat to anyone.

And if you had any wild ideas of wearing your favortie Flop Turn River gear, good luck. In most of the rules and regulations you are required to wear the "poker rooms" gear. For instance, if you win your seat via Party Poker, you are required to wear their promotional clothing.

Yeah, once you win, they want you to be their little bitch.

If I make it to the WSOP, I'm tatooing my website on my forehead.
Ok, maybe it will be a henna tattoo.

This isn't exactly true. On some sites you get the seat and maybe a little spending money regardless of whether you wear the site's promotional clothing. They offer free accomodations if you agree to wear the gear. Maybe Tyson can spring for the hotel room and get someone to wear the FTR stuff.

Just a thought.

[koolmoe]

For example, on Pokerstars:

An entry in the World Series of Poker $10,000 final event, running July 7-15, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Winners receive a buy-in to the $10,000 final event, $1,000 spending money (and nine days of hotel accommodations if you'll wear our very fashionable logowear.)

http://www.pokerstars.com/2005wsop/main.html

This makes sense. The $11K comes out of the prize pool. It's the accomodations they are offering as a bonus.

[bigred]

Honestly, if Tyson agreed to give me free FTR shirts I'd wear them at the WSOP. I would of course where my Phil Helmuth Sucks shirt under it though, so that when I bust him and he starts crying, I can take off the FTR shirt and show him that one. I'm sure that will make his day.

[The_Cheat]

and i will wear my "bigred sucks" t-shirt so when i am on ESPN fondling my winnings, everyone will know who reds daddy is.

<------ its me

Of course we would give you any FTR gear you wanted.

[bigred]

Do you have FTR condoms?

[Eric]

Do you have FTR condoms?

lol, we do have the FTR thong...

[Xianti]

Do you have FTR condoms?

If I get some made, would you wear it and model it for the TV cameras?

And it must be worn on the proper appendage.

[gabe]

that is sooo gay.

ps. pm me pics thx
