Re: *Semi-Official* WSOP Smaller Events Thread
Bump to try and get more info on the live satellites. I'm going to be there from july 1 - July 9 now and will spend some of that time after Event 6 (2000 NLHE) playing live sats, either to get into the limit events that week (holdem, stud, omaha/8) or to use for the events I'm playing later (possbly the 2500 NLHE on the 7th, definitely the 2000 NLHE and 1500 PLO the following weekend).
So my questions about the single table satellites for anyone who has played them in previous years:
1. The WSOP website is vague (doesn't state buyin and says "winner gets tournament chips + cash). Do the satellite buyins change depending on what event is the next day (if so, what's the buyin for 1500/2000/2500 event days)? Are they all winner-take-all (officially), with people usually chopping? Prize is mostly lammers that can be used for any event, plus a little cash?
2. Structure? I thought I saw somewhere that said 1000 chips, 25/25, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200... I'm guessing it's more or less like the Party Speeds, if we're lucky.
3. Quality of play? If we're going with the assumption that the structure is like the Party speeds, what level are these equal to? 33s? 55s? 77s? 109s?
