Default Re: What\'s the best way to win a seat at the WSOP?

Hey dude,

typically your chance of winning a seat depends on the quality of competition that you're up against. The way these satellites work, you have to beat a field that basically corresponds to the prize package/buyin ratio. In other words if you play a $1200 satellite you have about a 10% chance of winning (assuming 12k prize package); $120 satellite = 1% chance, $12 .01%, etc. This of course assumes you are equal skill with your opponents (and ignores the site vig)

the other thing to realize is that, assuming there's not a significant difference in opponent skill, there's really no EV difference between entering a $1200 satellite or a $1200 winner-take-all SNG, which you intent to use for entry..
