WCOOP Stud event
Is anyone planning on playing in this event?
This post is really an excuse to be self-congratulatory for winnings the 500 FPP satellite I just played. Well, "winning" is being one of the top 8 to get a seat... but I ran over my last table (we were playing short-handed, 5 on each table), finishing in first chip position with around 25% of the chips in play. Anyways, I'm hoping to see some of you 2+2'ers in the tournament. I'm totally new to tournament stud... I tried to adjust as I thought best to the changing ante/BI structures as the tournament progressed. I made a few mistakes and was lucky to win one crucial pot where I would have otherwise been done for. Ok, enough rambling--anyone else playing the event? |

It's Monday, September 12th on PokerStars. Buy-in is $300+$20, and it's a "$150,000 guaranteed" prize pool. Right now there are around 150 people registered... not sure whether to expect that the 500 mark will be passed or not. |

I got in through a satellite. Good luck to you.

Re: WCOOP Stud event
I played in a few of the 80 FPP satellites for Stud/8. I think in each one I've gotten crippled or eliminated by someone who either doesn't know how to play (literally) or a guy who sees 4th street 100% of the time and gets hit in the face with the deck. (grumble)

Re: WCOOP Stud event
I suck at stud but I might give it a shot. Consider yourself fortunate if I'm at your table.

I decided to just buy into the 500 FPP event, and I'm glad I did. Most of the competition was semi-competent, but still soft enough to beat. |

Re: WCOOP Stud event
i'll probably buy into the hi/lo event directly, and only play the hi event if i win a satellite.

Re: WCOOP Stud event
I won the 50FPP and then came in @#$%ing 10th in the 500FPP. DOnt know if I will get a chance to try again, but good luck. I dont think i will be wasting $320 on it since I seem to bubble out of every tourney I play in as of late.

Re: WCOOP Stud event
I played in the $22R satellite for stud H/L last night. The structure was very odd, with stakes rising every 5 minutes, and unlimited rebuys until the 1st break. If you decide to try that format, be prepared for rebuying; otherwise, don't bother.
