Qualifying for the WSOP Main Event 2008 as also started on most online poker sites, time for some feedback chaps.

I would be interested if players could post which Poker Sites they play on and what that sites approach to WSOP Qualifying is, from Free-rolls to Daily satellites.
I want to find out, if possible, which sites offer the best value, packages and number of seats for this years Main Event.
I for one have been attempting to qualify for the WSOP for the past two years at Ladbrokes, but this year I am very disappointed with the tournament set up regarding qualifying. For Example their first levels are now either $10 Turbo Re-buys ( basically a lottery) or a $100 all in or fold tourney.

Have you come across any decent WSOP satellites online yet?

acey you been doing any? how you been getting on?

i've just been taking a look around at the different sites i'm registered on and found Ladbrokes have a few though min buy in on their satelities is $11 apart from their $1 one on Wednesdays. 14 people already in there.

Betfair's structure sounded confusing but i'm only just downloading the software now and may understand better when i look through the games!

Pacific Poker look to have a bit, there one i haven't used in about 5 years and need to remember both my username and password!

party don't look to do wsop from what i can see on their site.

let me know if you've found any good ones.

[AcesJones]

I'm struggling to find any with a good structure FF. The first level satellites, like u say ranging from $1 to $10ish, all are either turbo re buys or are all-in/folds.

I just want a good $10-$30 1st level Freezeout, with 3 satellite to go thru to Win a package. But this year the sites that I've looked at don't seem to be offering any thing like this.

AJ - I only play on VC, Laddies and Paradise Poker, i have no interest in it but VC seems the way to go as below:
Super Satellites for the Main Event
If King of Poker is the kudos you seek then only the Main Event will do. Our Sunday Super Satellites offer a $14,000 Prize Package to the fortunate fanatics that qualify along with that chance of a lifetime to be crowned king!

Super Satellite Freezeouts are taking place every Sunday at 20.00 with cash feeders for as little as $6!



Package Details - $14,000
$10,000 buy-in to Main Event (July 3rd – 13 day Freezeout event)
$4,000 expenses
Optional 10 nights accommodation (cost deducted from expenses if taken)
Registration fees covered ($350)
Satellite Schedule

It seems to be cheap level 1 satellites into big tournies - check it out and let me know if its sound - Im tryin to write this while playin on VC so its doin my heid in bouncin back n forth!!

What Software does it use? I might already have an account with an affiliated site.

VC is on the ipoker network, where I play most of my poker. You will find a list of all sites on that network on Pokerscout. Presumably they all have the same structure for WSOP qualification.

had an email through from Coral saying that if i deposited some cash with a particular code i would get entry to a free roll for WSOP.

details from Coral:

"We’ll match your next deposit into ‘Poker’ up to $300 – simply use the code: WSOP2008. Do this before 21/04/2008 and we’ll give you a free ticket to a freeroll to win one of ten WSOP Final tickets worth $320!"

This month's issue of Poker Player has an extensive article on various sites special tournies for WSOP packages, from freerolls upwards. Also 'exclusive' tourny at new site 'pokertrillion' (havent looked at it yet) - password provided.
