Merby 3 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 anyone know when they start running these on pokerstars?Cake has started their WSOP satellites (I think) and if I remember from previous years, it should be around mid-April when Stars and Tilt fire up their satellites...I guess this is my round-about way of saying that I don't know... but I also expect it to be pretty soon -- possibly immediately after the SCOOP/FTOPS events.

mrpaddyx 13 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The thing is Pokerstars can't actually offer you a direct satelite into the WSOP. Due to the gambling laws in the US they can only offer you a prize which is equivilent to a WSOP berth i.e. $10,000 cash plus some spending money. They do try to offer incentives to persaude the satelite winners to enter as a Pokerstars player (basically wearing the PS gear to the event). Such as free accomodation, shuttle buses, big additional payments if you make the final table. One of the problems with this is that last year the WSOP Steps got clogged up with High Rollers try to earn easy money against the weaker players who had battled through from Step 1 onwards. That being said I do seem to remember some FCPers getting through the Steps system (XXX Eddie ???) alas I was not one of them Link to post Share on other sites
Pack149 0 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Does Tilt give you money and expect you to register yourself? Link to post Share on other sites

UncleBill 0 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Does Tilt give you money and expect you to register yourself?I may be wrong, but I think after Bush/Frist/Goodlette made their clumsy attempt at implementing UIGEA the WSOP stopped accepting all third-party registrations. Once that small part of the Bush disaster is cleaned up, the WSOP could easily reverse that policy. Link to post Share on other sites
