I'm planning on playing in one of the lower buy in events, specifically Event 6, the $1500 limit hold em event. Will I start with only 1500 in chips (my assumption)? If not, how many will I start with?

Unfortunately, yes you will only start with 1500 chips which is why I'm not a big fan of WSOP tournaments at buy-ins under $3K. You pay $2K for an event, get 2,000 in chips, one PF raise and continuation bet could be 25% of your stack!

That being said, I'll probably take a shot at one of those prelims anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Man, that is a pretty sweet schedule. There are some beefs but it'a huge step in the right direction. It looks like they are actually listening to the players. Good for them.

Except that, for a Limit Event, the blinds start at $25/$50 (at least they did last year), so you do have enough chips to make a few moves.

Nice...NO BRACELET EVENTS AFTER THE MAIN EVENT!!!!!!
the second chance ones still go for the action, but bracelets shouldn't be handed out for those events like last year.

Why not? I played in a $1500 buy-in event that started on about day 4 of the main event. There were over 1000 entries including a lot of top quality pros that had busted out of the main event.

Wow, great schedule. This is better than the World series of Hold'em, much better [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

2 2-7 TD events, mixed games etc.

But what about event 5: Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better (3 day event)

Is that Limit Omaha & Limit Seven card stud hi/low, or Limit Omaha hi/low & Seven card stud hi/low?

How has nobody said anything about the best tourney of all? 5k MIXED HOLDTHEM!!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Can someone please enlighten me as to the format of the mixed Holdem events?

Just rented a townhome for 6.5 weeks. No damn hotels for me this year.

Last year in one of the $1K events I believe they started at 2K in chips. It might also have been a 1.5K and 2 or 3 in chips. It was one event though.

Also, Good Luck WSOP in getting 9,000 in the main event. Set your goal for 5K and be happy if you get that.

The $1,000 event started with 1.5k in chips as did the $1,500 buy-in events. These events are not structured very well. Unless it's a WSOP bracelet you want to play for there are better options in Vegas at these prices.
