Indeed, if any mobsters do plan to play any of this events please do say which one so we ( the poor/broke ones) can rail you and have at least that satisfaction in watching these events. I was thinking about trying to earn myself a ticket trough satellites but they just seem too hard to reach ( the paying places i mean) and i doubt i would get lucky twice , once in winning a ticket and then twice in reaching the money with it.
Best of luck for the ones trying and specially for the ones saying here what event will they try their luck on!

Yeah good luck guys the WCOOP on the way and we have many people playing well at least those who can afford too, i cannot but will play if i do get in by satellite also at this time of the year there are lot of deals floating around, like you can invest in package like shares so you can get money and so on and a piece of some action. So find some online pros or even regulars and buy a piece if you can afford it, who knows you might win a big share if he wins big!

Each time i look at this announces, every year i get the same type of thought: "next year i will be playing to put some money aside to pay directly for a buy-in into one of theses games". Having one year to $109 aside isn't that much complicated, but i still haven't that money this year. And if i put myself paying satellites to try to go on one of these races, that will be like throwing money away - at least for me, this is justy my way of thinking.

There are still cheap buy in satellites running which although the odds are pretty stiff May be worth a punt for a couple of dollars to try and win an entry, while at the same time earning FPPs to build your status at stars so hope to see some of you there.
