voiceofjoe Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Re: Project WSOP 2007 - BELIEVE!!!!! yeah' date='i read that or tried to:lol[/quote'] Al - I agree its a bloody maze, but I think according to Poker Player you need to fill out a tax return, before you get an ItIN number. So that would mean that you have to win more than a grand before you need to worry. I'm not being pessimistic about our chances here !! :eyes what I mean is once you've won $300k, pay some clever account $50 dollars to sort it out :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Project WSOP 2007 - BELIEVE!!!!! any tips? Look for low entry series/freerolls - they offer a far greater chance than the regular route... Things like: The Hendon Mob League - top 10 in League played STT for WSOP ME Pacakge PokerSatellites Raked Hand Freerolls - About 80? in the final playing for an $8,500 WSOP package The PokerPlayer and InsidePoker magazine series - 30 - 50 seat live finals (qualifying through freeroll series) Virgin Poker STT Challenge - player winning most games (and buy in/table size) in a week went through to 5 seat STT final - top 2 won WSOP packages Radio series of Poker at Rounders Radio - very low entry league through to 40 seat final for WSOP ME package These are just a few off the top of my head - Poker Rooms use WSOP as one of their main promotional tools - look for promos with relatively low entry ...... all of the ones above have had about 30 to 50per cent of the finalists being PL'rs - that's why we win so many packages :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
