Now this looks more apropriate to my pockets. Starting at $7,5, i'm not thinking about for satellites, i would prefer to have instant money prizes on the top of these tourneys instead of tickets to play for higher flights. But if i want that i don't have to wait for any event in particular, i just have to go for the tourney list and search for what's more apropriated. GL for all mobsters entering on TCOOP action!

For a nit like me "Turbo" and "Poker" does not compute. But good luck to the mobsters, who want to play in those championchip tourneys. They will need it.

Im saving up some points and probably will try to join in trough some satellite. My purse is to small for those buy -ins... even the smaller ones would take a HUGE chunk from my current bankroll. A stellite is the way to go, nothing to lose ( except for some points which are doomed to go anyway) and the possibility to gain a lot.

This year possibly the greatest ever Cinderella story in poker unveiled as micro stakes player "maratik" took down the PokerStars WCOOP Main Event for $1,000,907.26. The amazing thing about this story is maratik won his seat in the $5,200 event starting with a 40 FPP satellite, worth about $0.64. Lucash you will be the next

Turbo tournaments are very good for those players who like fast game. but if the long-time good hand dont go to you , you can quickly end up your chips. I prefer to play normal tournaments (blainds raise in 10 min or 12 min) But sometimes i love too T!

Tcoop is here ..
i like to play turbo tournaments rather than normal ones ... The buy ins are not in my bankroll budget range,, it hurts !!! Even the fpp's are not enough for me to play some satellite to obtain a seat !!

Looks like you got to feel what it takes to get to the paid places at TCOOP12, shaqelle1, was it that hard? You are now defining a new strategy for this year's event, prefering satelites rather than the direct buy-in, take it easy or that can end up making you spend more than if you would go directly to the subject. GL and then tell us all about it!

that is very true, for example i usually like to sat to the "sunday storm" on pokerstars for 2-3 $ but if i dont win a ticket in the by 4th attempt.. ill directly buy in..by then ive already burned through two full buyins! hahahah Hyper turbo sats are just as dangerous.. i personally love the TURBO (5minblinds) 9 person $15.00+1$ sat to The Big 55 on pokerstars... i made it to the final table off that sat!!!! lastmonth
