  1. Here is a link to the schedule (scroll down for satellite info).

    http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/

    The single table satellites usually start around $125 and are a better value than the deepstacks which have relatively higher rake (and can easily eat up 8 hours or more even for a min-cash).

  2. Thanks m8

  3. When I first went there I asked "Where are the satellites for the main event?" All I got was all we have in single table satellites. Later I learned 3 days before the main event is when the have the multi table satellites to get into the main so if you want to get into the main event thats the way to go and when to go. For some reason they dont have those until right before the main (2-3 days before) and not sooner, but noone tells you that for some reason. This year I'm goign to try the Venetian Deep Stack tourneys. I here they are good and you start with more chips. Every day is a 2:15 pm tourney which is good if you're lucky. For a couple hundred first place is around 50k, however you need to get real lucky (Or fade bad luck I should say) because the fields are huge and stacks are short with a lots of donks who get lucky.

  4. @wildcrazyguy Winnings (lammers) from any single-table or multi-table satellite at any time during the WSOP can be applied toward a main event buy-in. So there is no reason to wait until 2-3 days before to try to earn a seat.

  5. @mark I know but those single table sats are gay. Few chips and you need to win a few of them- not just one for a main event seat. People dont want to play 30 turbo sit n gos to get a main event seat. They want to play one satellite. I sure perfer that.

  6. @wildcrazyguy STT's are not the only option (though you could win a ME seat by winning just one of them). There is a $550 mega which awards 10K buy-ins every night of the series. Usually these are NLHE but some nights they are other games. See the link from @pokervane above for which nights are the exception.

  7. Good news folks! We (PokerAtlas) are building a very special WSOP section of our site that will have everything you need, and a very user-friendly format! We will be launching it ASAP, probably a day or two before WSOP starts. And it will be available on web and mobile! I promise it's going to be awesome.....we are even working with the WSOP team to make sure of that! :)

  8. @JonFriedberg would like to say thank you to all for the info. Am looking 4 ward to wsop experience and also have looked at venetian deep stakes agenda as well the Wynn have some good value tourney as well. Am sure it will be an amazing experience epically the wsop main event with 10 million guarantee which I expect will attract a massive record breaking crowd.
    See you all in Vegas & gl at the tables.
