| Posted by: luckyfish at March 25, 2006, 2:52 pm | | Topic: WSOP Sattelites Forum: Bonus Whores | You can trade W$ or T$ for real $ at stars with other players
(requests -> Trade W$/T$), you just have to find someone who is willing to sell them (or buy if you want to sell yours).
At 2+2 there is a thread which brings buyers and sellers together (search for marketplace in MTT Forum).
The current rate is about 90% for W$ and 95% for T$, so you get a nice overlay playing WSOP Satellites (although it may take some time to find a seller since there are alway more people who want to buy). | | Static Link |

Also, can someone explain to me this buying of W$ or T$ or whatever the f its called? I'm a big fan of buying money with less money.
T$ can be won eg in the 1million guranteed satelites. you can use them to buy-in into tournies but you can't cash out or use them in cash games. the same goes for w$ except you can only use them to buy-in into special event tournies (like the wsop and wpt qualifiers).

| Posted by: luckyfish at March 24, 2006, 4:33 pm | | Topic: WSOP Sattelites Forum: Bonus Whores | Whats even better the lodging is free if you wear Stars gear, so you win
a $12k package but only 11k are taken out of the prizepool.
For getting the extra money you have to make the FT though (100k for FT, 250k for Top 3 and 1m for first) | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RobDoral at March 24, 2006, 4:08 pm | | Topic: WSOP Sattelites Forum: Bonus Whores | And I think Stars might actually pay for your lodging if you win a package. I think I have to fend for myself for the one I got from CnR (not that I think some folks wouldn't give their left nut for my problem ) . And I think Stars pays you extra money if you make it far enough into the main event wearing their gear.

If you have pending bonuses you get 100% of your tournament fees back.
You can enter WSOP Qualifiers with W$ which you can normally buy frpm other players at a rate of about 90% for real $, giving you a nice overlay.
You can use your earned FPPs to enter WSOP Freerolls
You can buy your WSOP seat with W$ (although you need some VIP status to do this, details are not out yet), so you can play many qualifiers to the supersatellites and accumulate W$ for your seat if you like that.
Stars has some of the biggest tourneys, so you dont have to win a tourney to get your seat (on July 19 there is a tourney with 150 guaranteed seats for $350+20 for example).
They have many different formats to qulaify (Double Shootouts, Rebuys and normal freezeouts). | | Static Link |
| Posted by: arcadelt at March 24, 2006, 12:09 pm | | Topic: WSOP Sattelites Forum: Bonus Whores | It seems that every online poker room has their own promotion for the WSOP. Some you can play with your player points (crypto), but most have a large range of options and prices.
With such a wide range of options and routes to choose from, it is a little overwhelming trying to decide which site and tournament to play.
Has anyone done any analysis on this problem? | | Static Link |
