Re: WSOP 2012 HYPE THREAD

that's a pretty awesome schedule. Like that they have a badugi/2-7TD event and the triple stud event is cool. I think it is Binion's that usually has a series that correlates with WSOP events @ 1/10th the buyin

Re: WSOP 2012 HYPE THREAD

would be nice if PS/FTP2 would follow merge and implement PL Razz games...I think that would draw more ppl to razz and would make for an awesome wsop event!

Re: WSOP 2012 HYPE THREAD

I will be going to vegas either june 7th or 8th(thurs or fri) alone. I am leaving sunday. Anyone want to share a room? Or if you have space in your hotel/house you want to rent out a few nights? 3 nights max...altho most likely just 2. Looking to cut costs a bit. PM if you are interested

Re: WSOP 2012 HYPE THREAD

It looks like my little sis has come through with the goods. Flights were looking like ~$1200. She works in the travel biz and can get me a standby seat for $370 so I will try and get out on the 6th or 7th or worst case the 8th.

I'm also looking for acommodation but I can't 100% commit in case I don't get on the flights. That said as I'm also travelling alone I should be OK.

What are my options? Can you cancel a Vegas hotel on the day? It is pretty standard in Europe to do this before midday or even 16:00 without penalty.

I dunno, it depends. Most of them charge you for the first day upfront but I dunno if that's refundable or not.

Re: WSOP 2012 HYPE THREAD

Booking this week for a few days around June 17. I'll either be playing the $1k NLHE event or the $230 Stud Hi @ Golden Nugget, depends on how I feel about my NLHE game and bankroll going in.

Wanted to play the $1.5k stud hi this year

Re: WSOP 2012 HYPE THREAD

This is going to be my first year being able to play at the series. I am super excited. The first stud8 event is the 1500 and I will still be in school during this time which really bums me out.

Question: If i am a stud8 specialist how good are the stud8 tournies in terms of value? I have played around 2 dozen tournies and lots of 10/20-30/60 stud8. Should i think about trying to satellite into the $5k?

Also just curious how long you can stay in vegas before you start to loose your mind in a hotel room? Would it be worth it to try and buy some couch/blow up mattress space instead?

can't speak for stud and stud8 but if the razz is any indication then for the most part it is a donkshow with the specialists mixed in

If they're nitting it up with antes of 1/5 or 1/4 SB on most levels, then just keep ante stealing and you'll FT for sure.
