Re: Question about the USPC
It actually seems like if an amateur wants to get on TV playing poker, the USPC is their best chance. Since ESPN broadcasts twelve episodes, and show at least three tables every episode, they must have shown hands involving almost half the field at some point or other. Of course, you could also get on TV by entering the WSOP Main Event, yelling really loudly and smelling really bad. |

Re: Question about the USPC
Doesn't the USPC have the best tournament structure around? 20k starting chips + low starting blinds if not mistaken.
Does anyone know what poker sites have satellites for the USPC? personally I have never seen an online qualifier for this tournament which is maybe the reason they don't get the number of players they should. |

[/ QUOTE ] One would expect Full Tilt to add the USPC to the list of eligible $10000 buy-in televised events for "Winner's Choice" satellite winners, especially now that the WSOP Circuit has cut the buy-ins of those events to $5000. |

Re: Question about the USPC
Anybody watch last night? What a donkey heads up push by Pecorale. Pot was around 200k I think and he pushes like 1.2 million drawing almost dead.
I really want to get in this tournament next year. |

Everything I'd seen of the USPC made me drool at the idea of playing these live tournaments soon. Good God, half that field was positively atrocious. And the pros made some pretty donkey moves as well. |

Re: Question about the USPC
This should probably be the start of a new thread, but I'll put it here for now:
The Taj has announced the tentative 2006 USPC Schedule: http://www.trumptaj.com/index.cfm/nodeID...on/content.page |
