Lol me too. I've played enough draw tournies to know I have an edge, I've won 'em with better players and bigger fields so why not these stupid things?

Re: WCOOP Satellites 5 card draw
 

I played in both a $2 +$0.20 with Rebuys and a $39 direct qualifier. The $2.20 was a total crapshoot. Players went all in with anything (yes, Ace high, pair of threes and so on) and rebought when they didn't succeed.

I doubled up in my very first hand I played because I caught another 7 to make quads. But the game continued like that and in the end I didn't make it.

The $39 was a 'standard' tournament. Poor players and good players. In the end I finished 7th (5 tickets for the WCOOP tournament). I think it's beatable for a decent player, however like the daily $11 tourney you can't make it to the money (or tickets) every time.

Second hand in 8+0,8 WCOOP Satellites 5 card draw: I'm on BB with 888xx. 2 limpers and SB raise. I reraise him and one of UTG reraise me! UTG+1 - call!! SB - call!!! I think:"WTF?!" but call too [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img].
Draw: SB changes 2, me - 2 and don't improve, UTG - stands pat, UTG+1 - changes 1 card.
Showdown: SB - QQQxx, me - 888xx, UTG - straight King high, UTG+1 - AA22x.
Nice hand?

Finally won. that was hard.

Re: WCOOP Satellites 5 card draw
 

congrats. What did you win to make it in?

Re: WCOOP Satellites 5 card draw
 

Congrats Murukawa,

I Also won. For me it was an 8.80 rebuy that I purchased 2 single rebuys and the add on. THis was done with W$31 and the rest my cash.

Total to win this ticket was about $70 in sats I lost another 8.80R turbo by just a few places. Oh and the $5.50 5cd tourney at 7:30pm was supposed to be my warmup, but I busted out of that in less than an hour!

I am really so excited that I qualified. I thought I was going to be in a real grind.

Good luck Murukawa, now to try for more seats!

Re: WCOOP Satellites 5 card draw
 

i played in a $10 5cd draw tournament and I was just astounded by the level of play. People were just so bad. It was pot limit and people would raise and call 3-bets with KK. They would then take their pair of kings, unimproved, to the felt post-draw. I chipped up massively in the early rounds playing almost every drawing hand I could get, even gutshots from the SB, since I know I'd get paid off by AT least one person.

I'm definitely playing those every chance I get.
