Ok guys I’m going to Las Vegas on May 16 and will be chasing the dream. My problem is I dont have a huge bankroll and need to build it fast or find an easy way into the events. For sure I will play the first few 1000 dollar events but in the case those dont go well how should I be building my roll while I’m there.
Cash games, sit and go’s, smaller buy in mtt’s or wsop satties?
Oh yah and where and when is the best casinos to play at.
Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated.

I’ll leave this question mostly to the experts, but did think I would jump in and suggest mixing the Venetian Deepstacks tourneys in to you schedule. Lower buy ins, but good structures that favor good players and you’ll still get alot of recreational players who donate.
How long are you planning on being in Vegas?
I missed this before you left – hope you are crushing the tables! Oh edit – I see you are there for a while. I second the Venetian tournaments – great structure.
I will be there too but not until June 22 and staying til July 8th. Might pass you but we won’t know it lol.
Good luck.

The problem with small stakes MTTs in the casinos is that the rake will crush you. However they are ridic easy. SO, sorry not sure how to answer your question but just wanted you to be aware of the rake on the smaller stuff.
ok thanks guys, i heard the venetian deep stack mtt’s and caesars mtt’s and cash and anywhere near a bar, lol
feel free to pm me if you want to meet up or anything i will be up there chasing the dream.
rons point about the rake in the smaller BI mtts is a salient one. also, one thing about the venetian events is that they have a pretty awful structure deep when all the money is on the line.
your best bet by far, imo, is to play cash games. the rio is obviously going to be good, and you can straddle the button there. the wynn has a fabulous room as well. those are the only two places i can speak to.
i would also suggest playing a lot online. i know you’re out there for all the live poker, but the fact is that it is hard to beat the hourly you get online playing live games. and with wsop running you shouldn’t have too big of a problem trading your online money for cash.

RIO MEGA SATELLITES FOR THE MAIN EVENT
These Mega satellites, which grow larger as the main event nears, put 100s of players into the Championship event. The prize pool is divided into as many $10,000 seats as possible with the remaining money going to the bubble finisher. Unlike the Tournaments chips that you win in the single table satellites, this entry is not transferable, the satellite winner must play in the main event.(In the event that you are already registered in the main event you can take the $10,000 in cash)
Mega-Satellites begin May 27, 2010 for the $10,000 buy in championship event. The daily schedule will include a $330 buy in Mega, Monday – Thursday at 3:00pm, a $550 buy in Mega Thursday-Sunday at 3:00pm and a $1,060 buy in Mega daily at 9:00pm. The Mega satellite action heats up during Mega Satellite days, July 2 – 5, with $330 buy in Megas at 6:00pm, $550 buy ins at 10:00am and 4:00pm and 1:00pm and 9:00pm daily. Still not in? Your last chance before reaching in your pocket and coming up with the $10,000 buy in will be a Mega Turbo event, $1050 entry, July 6 at 8:00am. $2,250 Mega Satellites for the $50,000 HORSE event will be held on May 31, and June 1, 16, 20 and 21 at 5:00pm
As the Main Event draws near, many of the Mega satellites will draw 100s of entries, perhaps giving away as many as 40 or 50 seats. When the Tournament gets down to that number of entries it is over! Remember you are not trying to win this tournament, if there are 40 seats to be given away, you just need to survive to the final four tables. These mega satellite events offer a skilled player some of the best overlays at the event. |
| CAN I HAVE A 2ND CHANCE? Yes at the WorldSeries you can! Every night between May 29 and June 15, 210 you can ake part in the $340 buy in 2nd chance tournament. The game is No-Limit holdem and the prize fund is real cash, not tournament chips. |
SATELLITE EVENTS AT THE RIO DURING THE TOURNAMENT
Satellite events run daily at the Rio Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. One table satellites for no-limit holdem, and for the next day’s scheduled event, run 24/7 starting May 27, 2010. F Back again in 2010, satellite tournaments will be run in their own separate room. This promises to be a big improvement and satellite action should be running smoothly. Single table satellites start off with $175 dollar buy in, 10 handed tables, the payoff are (3) $500 tournament chips and $120 in cash. This means $130 or $13 dollars a player is kept as vig in each satellite. The good news is that the Vig stays the same as you move up through the buy ins. $225 pays (4) Chips and $120 cash, $275 pays (5) chips and $120, up the ladder to $525 buy in pays (10) Chips and $120 cash. At the $1,030 buy in level you receive $10,000 in tournament chips and $150 in cash, so the table vig raises to $150.
Most single table satellite formats are winner take all events, although two, and three way chops are not unusual between players, and Harrah’s will allow satellites chops when agreeable to all players. Negotiation of these single table chops is a poker skill all to itself. Don’t be pressured into deals you don’t want to make, you are never obligated to chop a satellite. The tournament chips that are paid to the winners of the satellite tournaments, can be used to buy into any event, but not into other satellites or 2nd chance tournaments. The chips are negotiable between players, but Harrah’s will not redeem tournament chips for cash.
Want to make a last longer? Players in satellites, often form a pool that goes to the member of the pool that lasts the longest. Players wanting into the last longer pool, put up an agreed upon amount of money, $50, $100 a player or more. The player in the pool who lasts the longest gets the pool. You don’t have to win the satellite, just last longer than anyone else who is in the pool. The best thing about a last longer bet, is that the house takes no percentage of it, it is the only vig free bet you will find at the World Series.
Single table satellites are a great way to earn your way into one of the major events for a small investment. Other players, skilled at sit and go play online, make a nice profit by specializing in single table satellite play throughout the event
