Winning a seat, WSOP 06, Whats your Plan?

[illNana]

Mine is to play a lot of the stars 3+R and 11+R to satellite into as many Sunday $650's as I can.

Anyone like the shoot outs? I have no idea how to play them.

Also does anyone know of any good books on satellites?

Thanks

I have like 1200 $W. I wonder if I somehow win like $10,000W if Stars will just let me trade it in for a seat...

I just checked it out and the answer seems to be Yes.

Q. Can I use my W$ to enter PokerStars cash satellites to the WSOP?

A. Absolutely.

Q. Can I accumulate W$11,000 and enter the WSOP final event directly?

A. No, you must either win the WSOP prize package through a satellite or if you are a Supernova VIP you may buy in directly with your Frequent Player Points.

Q: Can I buy into the televised WSOP preliminary events with my W$?

A:Yes, provided you are a SilverStar VIP.

Thanks. Excuse me for being an ignorant donk, but the televised preliminary events refer to...?

[illNana]

The smaller buyins preceding the main event.

Here are all the events...

You will be able to buy into the ones prior to the ME if they are going to be televised. Stars says that once they hear from Harrahs which events they plan to televise, they will list them on their site (Stars). Usually it is a number of the $1,500, $2,500, $5,000 events.

My Plan.

Play solely DSO's ($15+1) until the end of April, and unregister all seats to the $650 that I win. Also mix in 1-2 $150 DSO's for every 650 seat that I win. Once I have $2000+ W$ I can also start keeping a few seats and playing in the Sundays. I also am definately planning on playing the Super Sunday $370.

Status: I have played 30ish DSO's and have won 4 Seats to the $650. (Also several other final table cashes, not sure the amount right now.) I am likely just running hot right now, but I am close to 40-50% making it to the final table.

Best,

They include the 1500 events, 2k events, and 5k events leading up to the main event.
