I'm game. I'll wait to figure out the final numbers (depends how many people I'm swapping with), but I think 2% is a good number...

Room booked at Harrahs, I'll be there from the 1st till the 4th for sure. I may fly in one day earlier and crash on the floor of my buddy's room at Riviera, he'll be down till Sunday playing in a North American pool tournament finals. Still waiting to buy into event #3 until Stars emails me back with the process to register using my W$.
I had planned on trying to qualify for the main event, but I'm definitely not playing that even if I win a seat for it. 10k is just way to much to drop on a donkament when I can run with the 11k cash instead. $1500 is still out of my bankroll, but I'm using that as an excuse to take a much needed vacation. Im fucking pumped right now. Can't wait to meet you guys down there.

puppy dog eyes
My wife is having pitty on me for the obvious envy I feel toward everyone who is going down for the WSOP. She suggested that we go next year.
T-Minus 13 months for me! GL. Post daily for the online railbirds!

all my vacation time got used earlier this year so im a no go also, my mom has a time share and is switching it next year to vegas so I can go. So that means flight to vegas- $0 place to stay - $0 the braclet im winning - priceless! only problem is the time share has to be put in now so im planning mid june and I hope there will be a event I like during that time. |

I have a similar issue actually. My time off each year is non-negotiable, so I have to wait to see the 2008 schedule before I know if I can play an event. 2006 would have been good for me, but this year would not have been possible even if I could find the cash.

 I thought you had set aside money for the WSOP this year and you and that SWApartner of yours were gonna tear up the WSOP... TeamSWA Crew or something. I guess that plan is out now? Bummer. I was actually looking forward to meeting you and seeing what you are like in real life (seriously). P.S. I got my time share exchanged about 2 weeks ago, if that... whenever I started this thead, actually. |

I went ahead and registered outside of Poker Stars. I suppose I could have saved some cash and registered for Event #3 with W$, but doesn't that tie you into a contract with them, force you to wear exclusively Stars gear, and so on? Meh - no thanks.
I'm totally with you for the Main Event thing, btw. I mean, it really is something and I'm glad I played in it last year, but if you give me the option of taking $11k cash to do with whatever I please instead, I just can't justify ponying up that kind of money on ONE poker tourney. I'd rather spend $4k in side events, $2k on TEN $200 events on Stars, and still have $5k left over to do whatever I want with (like other satellites, for example). I'm just making up numbers, but you get the point. |

Meh they get to use your name and likeness I guess, but I dont care, and I dont mind wearing a stars shirt. Ill just wear the T-shirt with a hoodie overtop and my ballcap. That way I can put the ~200 im saving towards hotel and flight, because I'm slightly over the 500 they gave me to go towards that anyway.
