I'm not sure if this is right.
I just won a seat today in a satellite.

I was told that if I win another one, I'll get another seat which I have to sell myself.

been meaning to check this out for years now (live about 10min away). I just always heard its a zoo and you have to wait to get in...

A lot of your questions are answered on the website. You shouldn't waste any time getting registered if you want a seat.

thanks, i just heard about it today. got excited with the notion of playing it and the fact that it is pretty much scheduled around work and i live only a few miles away.

But, it would be horrible bankroll management on my part.(i play 50c/1 and usually $20-$50 tournys) But i'm definitely going to try to at least see the "stars" this year.

Matt,

I spoke to June via exchanged vm's, and she stated that if I buy in today, and then win a seat in the Saturday satellite, I do not get cash - I get a second seat that I then have to "transfer" which I assume means find someone to sell it to at a discount.

I can only play 1A, so this is a pain as I will have to run to the bank Monday morning for a cashier's check.

The transferable 2nd seat is for those that win more than one in a super or mega.

Why would you prepay for a hotel room during a poker tournament from which you can bust at any point?

I pretty much need the room for two nights regardless of when I bust, so it's fine to prepay for them. Last year though, I did check out after the first night with the intention of re-checking in if I made day 2 (which I didn't).

I think the "Mystery Spot" in Santa Cruz might be more worthwhile. The coast is right there when you are done.

I tried the 250$ Supers into the 1050$ and didn't like them. 2k chips/12 minute blinds. After 12 minutes avg stack is 20bbs (50/100) and it just gets worse from there. I'll skip the one tomorrow it's just too much of a crap shot. Gl to all who play and enjoy San Jose (it's not that bad really!!)

Less than 50 seats left in the $2,000 until we go to alternates. We should have a really good turnout despite the Oscars being on and we will have them on the screens around the room.
