Do $250 really cover all travel expenses to Malta nowadays? If you fly with RyanAir it might be enough, buy why would you torture yourself by flying with RyanAir in the first place? 4 nights in a 5 star hotel is a bigger sell than the tourney itself IMO.

I qualified via 888 and $250 covered airline costs for my wife and me, which ended up at around 220e. So, it's doable. The bigger concern for me would be WSOP ME, where you get $1,000 for all expenses and you can bring a guest as well. So, basically, I need a Visa, from Serbia(al costs around it are about $300-400) and airline ticket is about $1,200-1,300 a month before the tournament... That's a problem, and not getting to Malta from anywhere in Europe for $250.

You will definitely spend more money than this package includes because you will have a person who will come with you. You have to stay calm because you won't spend too much money out of your pocket. In addition there is also a small vacation and the opportunity to end up in the money. You have to see the good side of this satellite.

Another great chance for brm members to participate in a live tournament. If you are located in europe and even further, then the money for the travel expense, i believe is enough. If you put your hand into your own pocket also for the whole package wont be a big deal

This offer would have been good for all players, not just for those who open a new account. It is very good when there are many players, who fighting for a very nice packet. I like it when the players are sent to the live tournaments by the poker rooms.

The truth is because I have never had the luck to be able to win or classify in some old place, but I think that more or less if they give that kind of $ xxx should reach but good with the inflation that is in some countries (in the mine for example), sometimes it usually exceeds this travel cost

Nightkid, even if you say those words, you must to know that it is not impossible to do this thing. You tried to play in major qualifying tournaments? or you just look and say it's very hard? You should not be discouraged and try. Good luck.

I have tried in some but the truth never reaches the posts, but when it comes to events that are moderately large I don't know if it's me or that but the river always plays me always find, and in online tables you cross with each one that pays you anything and in chasm with the last letter wins you and that makes you mad

I sometimes play satellites for live tournaments but i wasn't close to qualifying. It is very difficult and the qualification can be obtained but with more effort. You have to play more tournaments and maybe one day you will win such a package.

Starting to chase a buy in into a tournament, by playing satellites, isnt easy. The lowest you start the more luck you will need, in order to keep winning all the steps, reaching your final goal Investing a bit more in higher buy ins, makes it easier, and the game in these levels, is more serious.

You will have to play more games to qualify for such a tournament. Satellites start at one cent and until you earn an entry of $ 5300, $ 10,300 or more, you will have to advance in 5-6 satellites. This is not so easy because a package has a great prize and all players must to fight for this thing.
