I was just given $3000 to try to get into the WSOP main event. Can anyone give me the best options to use this money. I have agreed to give the backer 40% of anythng I win in the WSOP and the money must be used to get into the main event. I prefer live satellites, but I will consider online. I live in New Jersey, so if anyone knows of any sattelites in AC or Foxwoods please let me know.

The WSOP runs $525 one table Satellites that pay 5k plus $160 cash. Best deal anywhere.

I talked to a famous actor (poker player) last night. He told me that he had just won 5 satellites in a row. Hmmm...

That might be $150 cash

Is that in Vegas? I would prefer one in the North East if there are any.

Jack,
Maybe you should have your backer, Barry McCokiner, fly you to vegas for the satellites.

I think you should "consider" online since satellites are basically running around the clock, 24/7.

It is $160 in cash and they are a great bargain.

I never managed to get in a game w/ previosly mentioned actor, but he was tearing up the felt. Funny thing was a guy in line actually told me he wouldn't mind losing to the actor so he would have a good story for his wife.

I managed to cash (50/50 usually) in 6 out of 10 "singles" that I played in and gain some great heads up experience.
