My thoughts on the PokerStar WSOP Tournies

[zoobird]

For the 40 FPP qualifiers, does anybody know if I win one, do I have to play in the 2nd round qualifier that week, or can I use it whenever I want? Also, will they give me the option of just using the 4,000 FPP for other purposes rather than having to play in the 2nd round qualifier?

I believe it is a 2 rounder FPP...40 win only gets you into the next one

[Marwan]

zoobird, you can unregister before registration closes and just take the FPP's

[gcDanno]

you can usually just unregister from the 4k fpp tourney and bank the 4k fpp, which you can then use on whatever you want later.

Are you guys looking in the right place? The double shootouts started yesterday.

Lobby -> Events -> WSOP -> Cash Satellites

Yeah they weren't there yesterday morning, and I see that all the WSOP satellites($3R, $27R, $33R, $650, etc.) are all using the old structure(no 800/1600 level etc.) and it pisses me off, *sigh*.

Cheers!

Hey guys, here is my e-mail and their response to the structure question

We are indeed testing a new betting structure to see how it works, your

into consideration.
