Help Me Decide On My Wsop Tournaments

[Naked_Cowboy 0]

http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney/...asp?groupID=411Post your response as well as reasoning that shows some semblence of thought. First 20 people to do so get .1% of me each in whichever option I end up choosing.All options include time in cash games anytime I'm not in tournaments, eating or sleeping. This is a purely poker trip. Option 3 just has that as a focus.Option 1 has a good structure (essentially same as main event), but is very much an "eggs in one basket" deal.Option 2 has smaller fields for the mixed events, but worse structures. There will be some solid mixed game players, but I heart mixed games too. Obviously if I make day 2 in event 47 I don't play event 48.Option 3 is pretty self explanatory.Replies including a "why" so far:pt_specialFARGOpokerND canateiandrcossackdna4ever (pm him)KugeGalloking1305Waffles2003gobearsHuskers20Ouch-8sSpeedKillsTrueAce13Ko8e34mhoward29checkymcfoldgatortom64CodyHartmanblakheart

i would say go with option 2 or 3.....the side games are crazy during the series and it will probably be most profitable, option 2 isnt to bad but its 3 crap shotty tournys but if you are good a tourny stud you will likely have a big edge...and i dont want any piece of ubut i would go with 3

play the main event.. cuz then I will get more money when you win.

[Mercury69 3]

I voted for the 5K SH event., but I'm also hoping you'll get around to playing some sats for the ME. Regardless, good luck with whatever you decide!

[FARGOpokerND 22]

If NLH is your specialty.....6-handed FTW!If not, do the cash side-games. There is assuredly profit to be made there.

[Acid_Knight 2]

I voted for the stud events. Why not right? SHIP .1% of the winnings for 3 bracelets!!

Idk how good your mixed game skills are but if you are thinking of those tourneys im assuming there pretty solid. generally those 1.5K events are gonna be pretty weak, I think the weakness of the field and the fact you get more bang for your buck so to speak, makes the mixed game option better.

Events 47 (1.5k Stud 8), 48 ($2k NLHE), 51 ($1.5k HORSE)

I voted for the 3 smaller buyins. If you final table/cash big then go for other events.

Option 2.Mixed games usually get clueless people. Clueless people = +EV.Structures are crap, but if the fields are softer, go with them.

[dna4ever 2]

Definitely option 2. Being able to experience 3 WSOP events is reward enough, but your EV of cashing is increased 3 fold. Even though the $ won may be larger on 1 or 3, your total trip EV is maximized by option 2. If you make day 2 of #47 you can take the monies that would be invested from #48 into either ME sats or a little higher cash game action then you originally planned.GL regardless.

didn't you say you were going to be at the WSOP this year?

[Kuge 0]

Events 47 (1.5k Stud 8), 48 ($2k NLHE), 51 ($1.5k HORSE)Smaller events, chances are not as many pros will be in those tourneys. If you are an overall good poker player, you should expect to do very well.

[Gallo 1]

My main reasoning for going with option 2 is that if you cash in any of those event then you would more than likely do either option 1 or 3. I mean that is what I would rather do. Like someone said, if you feel you have an edge in the Stud events then you should be ok.

That doesn't mean I'd be playing any NLHE events...

[king1305 0]

I'd need to know your strongest game(s)?Short handed NLHE?HORSE?FR NLHE?cash games?Whatever is your strongest game, go with. I'd imagine the three smaller events as you seem like a competent player, I'd imagine fairly well in the know for multiple games. This way you aren't putting all of your eggs in one basket with one tourney.

[Waffles2003 1]

second option is the most logical, it gives u a better shot and better odds at cashing. GL

disagree there, if hes at all a good poker player it would be much more profitable to go and play cash a week before the series starts, you can easily make the 10k for the main event and play some sats, the sats are a complete joke structure wise, but they are really soft

My protege 2 seat was one of the "most hands played" seats (which I also had to win tournaments to get to).I played the majority of those hands grinding LHE and LO8. I think I have a very solid understanding of Razz - I played the razz event in the 2006 WSOP and felt pretty comfortable. Stud 8 is my second favorite game behind O8. I think my stud hi game is probably the worst of the 5 but I'm working on it.I've played NLHE live up to 10-20, but mostly 2-5. I am a pretty significant winner in live NLHE cash.I also run like PA at 1 table satellites. In april I took down 2 of the 5 winner take all $300 satellites i played to the $3k supers for the bellagio main. I should also mention that I have a life goal to win a bracelet by the time I'm 45. I am 24.

ermmmm, i think you said the exact same thing i did.he said he would be playing cash games the whole time so that was assumed.and disagree with me again and i will ban you forever! i dont care if you do have an entire thread of people saying how great you are!

[ThePhoenix88 0]

I voted for for option 2. Like you said you play better at the the games than most, the fields are less, etc. GL on your trip

Option 2 - Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Also, J9 can only rear it's ugly head in one of the three tourneys. Plus you do well in any of these tourneys, you can parlay that into a ME seat.

Most well thought out response yet.

5-6 days, longer if i sat into the main event which is only an option with choice 3. I'm not making 2 trips and even firsts in other events wouldn't be sufficient to give my current job the finger and stay for 3 weeks.
