In the past two years I've been mainly a satellites player and the WCOOP period was the second most profitable period of the year for me (first was the SCOOP) as there was a lot of great value satellites!
This year I've decided to start learning how to play the big tournaments. Initially I started by reading some books and doing a challenge during the MicroMillions II series. Then I realized that I was pretty clueless about some situations, and I turned to cash games to work on them.
Once again, the WCOOP will be one of my favorite periods of the year again, but for different reasons! Now I will be able to apply everything I learned lately and see if I can pull a big score!
That sounds good, right? Guess what, I will spend less in buy-ins than I spent at the MicroMillions II series!
Seriously! You still don't believe me?
PokerStars gives to their Supernova Elite players a ticket to play the WCOOP main event, but since they know that a lot of people prefer to play smaller events, they let people split the buy-in into smaller buy-ins at the WCOOP/SCOOP. So, that's a $5200 budget already! But, I also got a $215 WCOOP ticket for finishing in the top100 of the MicroMillions leaderboard during my challenge, which makes it $5,415.

I will put $89 of my own pocket to register for these tournaments, which is less than the investment I made for the MicroMillions II series.
The plan for the rebuys and add-ons is to always add-on if I make it that far and a maximum of one rebuy.
I will also take advantage of the VIP satellites and the 20% reload bonus!
Easy money!
