WSOP - If You Had a Choice?

[Valiant23]

I was thinking about PLers superb efforts in winning through to the WSoP, and how fantastic it will be for them to achieve a dream that most poker players aspire to, and I wondered if you won a package (lets say $13,000 value) to the main event, is there an argument for not buying in to the main event and playing in three or four of the side events. I just think that as good as it may be to say you've sat down in the WSoP Main Event, the fact is that it could well end at any time and then that would be it until the next time, but if you used the $10k to buy in to several events you could sit down three or four times, playing different types of poker and get more of a poker education than 'just' playing in the one event. I'm not sticking my nose up at the main event or anyone who has qualified. If I had the chance like any of you playing in this years M.E. then I'd grasp it with both hands but Philossifys pragmatic approach to his chances (in only booking a hotel room for one week) got me thinking.

Re: WSOP - If You Had a Choice? I'd cash the $13,000 in, put £6,500 in a savings account, use the change for a few beers and then use the money in the savings account for the buyin to the PLWSOP for the next 130 years.
