I need some assistance here ! I want to go to playground for the WSOP and here is my question

They have day 1a 1b1c and 1d- but they also main event day day 2 where you can buy in the main event. If I buy in on main event day 2 am I behind the 8 ball with players that play in these flights ?

Welcome .. you may want to be more specific with your question. When you say 'behind' what are you getting at? Other than travel considerations what would be your reasoning for skipping all the Day 1s?

You most definitely will have less BB than a lot of the Day 1 Players, but usually not all. Check the structure sheet and the math is easy. You forfeit a lot of your ability to wait for better hands to play. If you are comfortable playing a short stack then that may be a consideration. Day 1s are usually filled with Players who are willing to fire multiple bullets in hopes of accumulating a large stack. Some tournaments allow you to carry forward your 'best' stack from any Day 1. I don't think WSOPc allows for that. Once registration closes the play can change for a bit ... until the Blinds catch up with you.

If you buy in on Day 2 you will be further along than a lot of other Players, but are you capable as a Player to sit down to the small stack? I was a 'very' late reg for a tournament one time and joked with the table as I sat down in Level 9 that I had now set a new record for still being alive in a tournament! GL

Hey - if you start at the beginning of Day 2, you'll be starting with 31.25bb. There will be players with Day 1 stacks that are smaller than that, but there will also be many players with Day 1 stacks that are much larger than that as well. This is a tournament in which players carry their best stack forward to Day 2.
