Best WPT tournament for an amateur?

[jaybee]

I just won a WPT tournament package via a satellite on Bodog. Bodog offers entries to the tournaments listed below. I have very little experience with live tournaments and would like to know which would be easier for an amateur. i.e. Which tournament will have the most 'dead money' and be the least intimidating? Other live tourney advice also welcome...

seems like the shooting star tournament would be pretty good. it always seems to have lower entry numbers than the rest of the wpt tourneys and they give $5k bounties which is pretty cool.

i would choose bay 101 because of the bounties.

Because of the bounties it seems like it may be the most fun as well... However if you bust out of Doyles tournament at the Bellagio you will have the playground that is Vegas at your disposal. Tough decision.

definitely bay 101 shooting star. 1 'star' per table and each has a bounty on them.

none of the tournies you listed seem to have a slew of online qualifiers for (at least that I know of) which leads me to believe your best bet would be bay101.

Foxwoods seems to have quite a few sites running qualifiers

I think the World Poker Finals will have the most dead money. They've been doing sats for months and there are lots of people satelliting in for $60.

Vegas BABY! VEGAS!

Bay 101 because of the bounties and field, and it's the latest occuring one, giving you more time to get better and improve your chances to cash.
