[FuzzyDunlop]

I might be depending on work, have means, no time.

[LVHerbie]

The casino employees tourney was today... Any word if Bobby jumped in?

[hels]

[Nick Papageorgio]

Event #9

[jjgold]

Vegas must be crowded

Never hear of so called big names winning bracelets anymore

A bracelet really overrated now..so many events to win one..pot luck

[Hurls]

Does the WSOP just cost to get in? Or do you qualify of someting? Dont know a ton about it just wondering howit worked

[KingJD31]

It's 10k now;? Fuk that rather play daily 100 dollar buy in AC

If you're such a great poker player, why do you need someone to spot you the 10K to get in?

Let me guess, you must be an Obama man, LOL.

[jjgold]

Is anyone there at least??

I think it is at the Rio?

[Grits n' Gravy]

My friend is a casino manager at Rio and said WSOP is a pain in the ass. Said it is a bunch of fat guys in electric scooters begging for comps when not playing in a event. Rio did put in a killer Chinese restaurant across from the buffet.

[jjgold]

Gritter you seem to know a lot of people there

What are odds I can run you out of town????

[Ez Money 77]

I played in the casino employee tournament twice like 5/6 years ago. Was so awesome. I didn't cash even but the atmosphere unreal. Over 120 tables in the room full during the real events. If I ever get the time and funds to play in one of the big tournaments I will definitely play.

[wantitall4moi]

good time for grinders to make some money. Play all day in satellites then if you get a seat sell it to someone for 80-90%. I sold a couple dozen main event seats in the past. Even when it got crazy big, money in hand is much better than playing the lottery IMO. Invest 1200-1500 in satellites and win a seat or two and youre looking at 17500-18K. That's just for the main event. There are a lot of events now so if you want to sit and nickle and dime your way to seat you can sell those too. I think I played in two actual WSOP events I won seats for. I probably won over 100 seats total in the years I lived in town. Could I have won one? Maybe everyone gets lucky, but IMO it takes too much luck to win those things, skill only gets you so far in a game where its all or nothing.

The thing is they have romanticized this shit so much people are oblivious to how much of a waste it is. Vast majority of these guys that win, especially the so called professionals dont have a pot to piss in and 99% of their winnings are going to a guy they owe 10 times as much to for backing them in every tournament going.

If SBR poker players call me the "guppie" or "short stack" Gawd only knows the names I would be calles at the big event...

I also played the casino employee event around 5 years ago...terrible structure, hardly any starting chips..didn't cash, went out QQ vs AK allin preflop and guy rivered an Ace

Yeah the starting chips were low but the levels were long. One hour each level I think. I'm not 100% sure but I think they doubled the starting chips.

I went out 10 minutes before the dinner break. Lost with 99 vs. 88 he turned the set. All in pre-flop as well.

[jjgold]

I or other posters post bracelet winners daily

[Grits n' Gravy]

Well I am in Macau but you'd have a better chance of growing a full head of hair than running me out of any city. Opie just tackled you. I would do much worse if you forced my hand.
