GaF Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Someone recently highlighted checknraisepoker.com (afrais I can't remember who - seem to think it was Sharpe!!) - anyway, I've had an email from them tonight ........ one of their offers..... Every day at 6:30pm EST we run a $50 freeroll and follow that up at 9:30pm with a $1 + 1 rebuy tournament to which we add $50. We generally get about 25 participants in this one, and the prize pool reaches $125 on average. Not only do you get a great overlay but the top 100 leaders in these two tournaments combined play off for WSOP seats + expenses. So, a daily freeroll at 11:30 pm GMT and a $1 tourney at 2:30 am (:loon) with $50 added running from November 19th till March 10th - with top 100 qualifying for 1 of 3 freerolls (top 25, next 25 and last 50) each for a WSOP seat. BUT they only attract about 25 per evening for the $1 game and 250 odd for the freeroll :loon Looking at the leaderboard so far, just $2.50 prize money gets you in to the WSOP freeroll (max 50 players!!) This looks almost too good to be true!! Full details here - http://www.checknraisepoker.com/promos/2005-11-15_FreewayToVegas.php - I'm going to give a few of these a go.

GaF Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: Want a WSOP seat? Looks like EVERY chance! I played in the $1 + rebuy last night - word of warning - looks like 1 rebuy is compulsory!!! I didn't rebuy and I didn't add on, but have lost $2 in my account - I've emailed them to check and will let you know what they say ...... is that normal? (I generally avoid rebuys....so am not sure!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bubbles Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: Want a WSOP seat? Looks like EVERY chance! How many people entered? compared to number of places paid? Have next week off so I can afford some time to play the later evening tournaments so was thinking of looking at this one. Cheers I played in the $1 + rebuy last night - word of warning - looks like 1 rebuy is compulsory!!! I didn't rebuy and I didn't add on, but have lost $2 in my account - I've emailed them to check and will let you know what they say ...... is that normal?

GaF Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: Want a WSOP seat? Looks like EVERY chance! There were 4 tables - about 35 I think. Was quite slow and there were few go out for ages - final prize pool was about $130. I think I'm going to stick to the freeroll one for the moment......

(I generally avoid rebuys....so am not sure!!!) Ok - after communication with their help - turns out the tournament is $1 + $1 - yes they charge a $1 admin fee!!!!!! Ok it is more than negated by the $50 they add to the prize pool - but a $1 admin fee on a $1 buy in - are they bonkers???? Hope that this isn't their usual fee structure!!! Need to watch them I think!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
