No doubt, it wouldn't surprise me if you guys ended up crashing the servers. We expect more folks in line to register than there are at the Yankee Stadium ticket window for the post-season.

Will it the registration be like this every day?

Yes.

BeerDog99 · 05-02-11, 09:47 PM

Not complaining, I am happy anyway this happens, but any chance the later tourneys can have a later registration time?

Nittany Lion · 05-02-11, 09:48 PM

Lou,

What do you think of something like this? I posted this in the thread linked below but I don't think you have seen it yet.

"I like the current way it is setup with the qualifying spot dropping down to the next person, but I also wouldn't mind seeing something in additional where if every time you get 1st place in one of the satellites you get another chip stack. So let's say you get 1st place three times in the satellite tournaments, then come June 25th you should get a 3x size chip stack. SBR wants to try and send the best poker player right? So why not give a little advantage to those who get 1st several times in the satellites?

The only problem with this is I don't know if the SBR software can be programmed to give people different starting chip stacks at the start of a tourney and they probably don't want to bother with it."

This is SBR, I don't care what other sites do for a WSOP entry, I like my idea as it gives the people who win multiple satellites a slight advantage in the main June 25th event. How can you not like this idea?

Beerdog99 in the thread I linked too liked it as well, so Cuse I bet you're in the minority....btw the Syracuse Orange can suck it

they used to have a freeroll like this on Microgaming where anyone who plays a raked hand could play but those who had more raked hands got more chips

Yeah and how credible did microgaming end up being? Not going to clog up this thread arguing about poker standards. Thanks for the shot SBR.

Beerdog as your backup, Nittany?

Enough said.

The WSOP Satellite Series kicks off Tuesday, May 3rd.

The 1PM & 3PM events begin registering at exactly 9:00AM EDT.

The 6PM, 8PM, and 10PM open for registration at exactly 1:00PM EDT.

Be there or be square.

Why have the 2 different times like this? Why not open up all tables at 9:00AM EDT?

Is it because the tables fill up too soon? Well if you make a late registration at 1:00PM EDT the tables also fill up while the rest of us are at work.

Why not make it first-come, first-served?

You guys at work can get the left overs when you come home, I prefer SBR to keep on favoring the unemployed people like me

sinmiedo · 05-03-11, 01:23 AM

thanks and good luck to all

frankzig · 05-03-11, 03:42 AM

this should really increase traffic

gamemastere · 05-03-11, 04:03 AM

would say good luck to every body today but it wouldn't be sincere

Poker_Beast · 05-03-11, 05:23 AM

Thanks again SBR!

Hope there are sears available when I get home!

thisisit · 05-03-11, 05:32 AM

Hope I can take my lunch at 1 so that I can register for this!

aceking · 05-03-11, 05:58 AM

taking the 1st tourney win , so I can relax the rest of the month .

jstblaze · 05-03-11, 07:25 AM

they are definitely advertising to the unemployed!!

konck · 05-03-11, 07:53 AM

How much is the entry

saintjames · 05-03-11, 07:58 AM

anybody know the cutoff time to be seated before losing the seat?

The Inevitable · 05-03-11, 08:03 AM

Is it open to newbies? I know the basics and I think I want to try my luck today.

SBR Lou · 05-03-11, 08:08 AM

Yup, simply pay a 15-point entry fee via the software when registering. Best of luck!

You would have to be present before the 7th hand is dealt to avoid getting tossed.

15 pts for non pros, free for pros.

No, we're advertising to poker players... but with the recent law changes, that might be saying the same thing.

Okay, I'm all set, I believe. I'm ready to have some fun.

sinmiedo · 05-03-11, 09:00 AM

i would have prefer a higher entry fee for non pro ( let's say 150 )since the avalnche of freeloaders willl deprive the loyals of SBR of making a better showing.
Just my oppinion, because i still very gratefull of this site.

Agree. These brokedonks probably couldn't become pro even if they did happen to win.
