Magicadil Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've always dreamed about playing the WSOP Main Event but my time hasn't quite come yet. Still have many other things I have to take care of before turning this fantasy into a reality. (Finishing University/Financially stable, etc)What about you guys/gals? Have you played in the WSOP? Do you aspire to? If you aspire to, but haven't yet, what's holding you back? I debateShould I smile like everything's good and pretend that life is greatOr should I let the world see the real me and not hide this painI tried to be like the rest of y'all, sorry I just can'tI'ma probably die this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowelikestew Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think personally I would rather play a EPT than a WSOP event, if I got chance to play a WSOP event I wouldnt tiurn it down though. I am just a human, the same way a Great White Shark is just a fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowelikestew Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Obviously it goes without saying that the Unibet Tour is the best tour currently running and that would be my number 1 target. (Covering bases so I dont get wrong) I am just a human, the same way a Great White Shark is just a fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookTheWin Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Like to play the $10,000 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo or $50,000 Players Championship one day. Events that would test my best games and the best players. Probably a pipe dream unless I go on a sick sick heater lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChapInAChair Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I see my game moving towards satellites in the coming months so I hope there will be some big tournaments in amongst them. I'd love to play the ME by, say, 2020 but I'm taking one step at a time. Formerly known as StartlingGrope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you join this ? :D "When things are bad, it's the best time to reinvent yourself" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play_Analyst Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I've always wanted to play in the main event of the WSOP and have often dreamt of winning it with 7 2 off (If you're going to dream the impossible dream you might as well dream winning with the worst starting hand possible lolI'd have to satellite into it though because right now a $10k buy in in hard cash would fill me with dread and I doubt if I'd play to my best given that I play mostly NL4 which is light and day. It's one thing to pull up in a cash game with 4 euros to putting down $10K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicadil Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Unfortunately not at Bucharest. I will try to qualify for a UO event in 2017. My first Major live event will probably be a side event at 2017's WSOP.

Btw I hope you will change your mind and will join to the UO Bucharest. It will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startelver Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I played in one of the WSOP side events a few years ago , buy-in was $1000 , it didnt go so well that time. But I played a lot of the daily deep stack events and cashed in several so it was a nice experience. Did I make a profit ? Nope , but it was fun.

NeriPoker Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Only way I'll ever play the ME is by satting in. I don't think I'll ever be wealthy enough to be able to drop that amount on one tourney. Playing some of the side events is definitely on my bucket list though! I'll be about 45-50 when that happens but happen it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutpeddler Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I've never played live anywhere so obviously not played at WSOP either.If I suddenly had a 100 million dollars, I'd play at the main event just to have the experience. Realistically I don't ever plan on playing, I'd essentially just be throwing money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farseer Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have played one WSOP event, $1500 PLO8 in 2014. Was 4 weeks in Las Vegas, played some satellites, some smaller events and day before leaving I managed to make a mincash in 235$ deepstack WSOP side event to get a flag in Hendon Mob. Most of 4 weeks I was not playing poker, but having fun: we had a large luxus villa for over a week, and spending time in there and with other nice things. Went to see Cirque d u Soleil an Celine Dion concert and Hoover's Dam and enjoy Michelin-class dinner twice during that week alone. In Finland you don't have to pay taxes if you win in ETA area, but if you win outside it like Las Vegas you have to pay taxes. While I want to go Las Vegas again (actually played many promotions this spring but missed them all, some by very small margin) it won't mainly be to play hardcore poker. But I would like to play $1,5k PLO8 and $3k PLO8 event in WSOP and some other events for sure. With good amount of other things as well.I mainly play live tournaments for fun, have played abroad about 20 tournaments mainly with 500€-1650€ buy-ins. Always have won package from online, I don't like to spend "my own money". Mainly from promotions and promotional tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaraider Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I will be playing a couple of $1500 NLHE WSOP events in 2017 and maybe the millionaire maker, but I am leaning towards the 500k euro Unibet Bucharest tourney as a b - day present for myself. Really like the direction Unibet poker is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirahn Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have played in a few. Some main and some side events.The early days were great when poker was getting bigger every year. My first ME was the last one held at binnions. They had not expected the turnout and the night before they were ripping away bj tables to make space. They called dealers out of retirement. One guy must have been in his nineties. The queue for the 10k buy in was over 2 floors, just crazy.Far too many stories to write all at once and some x rated funny ones.Im sure if its your first time wsop the buzz would be there but i dont think its same as before. A lot of the shine has come off. Also be careful what you wish for. The spending money covers the travel and a week in vegas is very expensive. These days im more excited trying to win an all inclusive package to caribbean than wsop.Unibet opens are fantastic. I hope soon they will be challenging the live events markets worldwide.
