When I first hooked up on PokerStars about 3 years ago,...and when I didn't really know a lot about poker other than the basics, I stumbled my way through successive satellites to coming within a HAIR of winning a free package to this monster!
In the final I was in first place for much of the tourney,...and then made a few mistakes. Even after the mistakes, if I would have just keep folding instead of trying to make it back up, I would have had a package.
Hindsight is 20/20,...if I could relive that, I would have done thing differently! Oh well!
well if you can make it past the donks or are willing to invest a few $ to enter thru the higher value qualifiers, then this is definately worth trying for, i tried a couple of 20$ events b4 but never quite got there mainly because i played like an idiot and should have thought about ICM more instead of trying to win with every good hand cos they dont hit the flop lots tut tut i play miles better now i learnt about bet sizing stack sizing and icm

Woulda been some experience.
To be honest you're essentially buying an experience - your chances of winning any money at all are slim as hell. The Moneymaker days are over. It's very rare now that someone really amateur takes any of these big titles anymore, bar perhaps the WSOP Main Event, which requires truckloads of luck.

Sure would be nice if this U.S.A. country would allow U.S. citizens to play on these sites again. I've just about thrown in the towel to on-line playing due to there being only a few for me to play at. The one's I do play at aren't by choice which takes away from the point. Good Luck to you all!

the Caribbean Adventure (PCA) is undoubtedly the best place to play, a paradise. we'll see how it goes this year in free tournaments pokerstars because as the article I have not 10,000. Surely this year spend the amount of the 10 million guaranteed. Someday I'll be there to participate in this event

Just 1 suckout in a satellite on pokerstars. Then go all in the 1st hand of the event in the Caribbean Adventure with 45 of spades and run into AA and KK and flop the nuts lol.
Just say you got a ticket to this event would you call an all in with KK 1st hand anyone?
