Easiest Place To Win A WSOP Package

At this time of year the poker sites compete to send as many players as possible Las Vegas, for the annual World Series Of Poker. The competition between rooms to have their logos on the TV tables makes this a great opportunity for players to win a dream package – worth $12,000 or more – for a limited outlay.

Not all poker sites are equal when it comes to the types of satellite qualifiers available, cost of entries to them or the average skill level of opponents. To maximize your chances of winning your seat we cover 4 of the easiest places to win your WSOP package below. At the end of the article we will sum up with our choice.

Easiest WSOP Package – Candidate #1 – Bet365 Poker

Bet365 have a number of options in addition to their standard $13,000 Main Event package. These include entry to the Omaha championship and ‘side events’ packages. World Series qualifiers work in a 3-stage system, starting at just $3 entry. Working through the levels you can reach the $500+$25 super-satellites where the seats are awarded.

Easiest WSOP Package – Candidate #2 – Carbon Poker

Carbon Poker keep the same qualifying system in place for the WSOP, WPT and other events including the Aussie Millions. There are two tracks which feed into $250 buy-in super-satellites which award the seats. You can qualify either via SNG tournaments or Multi-Table tournaments from just $2.20c. The smaller Merge Network, on which Carbon Poker is the leading site, does attract a large number of recreational players – keeping the games soft. Balancing with this are the smaller fields in the satellite tournaments – meaning you’ll need to get to the very top spots to win your seat.

Easiest WSOP Package – Candidate #3 – Party Poker

One of the original poker sites, and still one of the biggest online, Party Poker built their reputation on having easy games. With a truly international profile, Party will have many players trying to qualify for the World Series for the first time – keeping those games even softer. As with many other sites a staged system is in operation, these are the ‘speed’ tournaments which feature fast blind increases and necessitate bold and positive play. With a WSOP package worth $14,000 and some of the easiest tables you will find anywhere, Party are certainly a viable candidate for the easiest World Series Qualifiers award.

PKR may be a smaller site in terms of player numbers, but they make an extra large effort to send players to this year’s World Series. Options include direct buy-in super-satellites as well as stage-by-stage qualifiers for those with smaller bankrolls. There are points qualifiers for players who have accumulated loyalty points at the tables and for the real gamblers there are one-hand SNG qualifiers – in which every player is all in every hand until a winner is (quickly!) decided.

The iPoker Network is the 3rd largest poker network and has some of the best brands like Titan Poker, Bet365 and many others with a continuing trend of new sites moving over to this software package.  iPoker has some of the best promotions and games available including top rated software.  Players that love this network are always in search of a rakeback iPoker Deal but it is hard to find as iPoker have strict rules stating no rakeback to any players to be allowed.  Sites that get caught can suffer a large fine or termination of their software contract.  With that said there are still ways to get rakeback and sites that are willing to play with fire and offer it under the table or cleverly hide it in bonus conditions.

How to get iPoker Rakeback:

The safest way to get rakeback on the ipoker network is by finding a site that offers a large deposit bonus along with monthly reload bonuses.  The first deposit bonus can give players up to 35% rakeback depending on the player’s stakes and initial deposit.  Each month a player can redeposit getting the monthly reload bonus which can work out to be as high as 30% rakeback.  This is a very simple process and a players bankroll can even be withdrawn totally then redeposit each month to get the reload bonus if you are short of funds to deposit every month.  To increase your rakeback more it is a very good idea to become a VIP at the site you play.  Many iPoker rooms have loyalty point programs, being at the highest level of a loyalty program will release bonuses quicker and be entered to receive more promotions.

There are some rakeback services that offer players rakeback to ipoker.  As always you have to be careful who you deal with when it comes to rakeback. If iPoker catch your or the rakeback provider you could both be in trouble and you will not get any rakeback or bonus.

iPoker may not offer rakeback but if you are an active player they will be very kind to you and treat you like a VIP.

Calvin Ayre sends a personal message to the online gambling industry to help out in Haiti:

“It’s a disaster in Haiti. I know they’ve had a tough go from Mother Nature recently, what with the hurricane and now this earthquake, but I cannot help but be disgusted with the ruling elite that have driven this country down like this while, no doubt, filling their own pockets. That being said, the innocents are, as always, the ones paying a horrendous price for this elite thievery and I think the global online gaming community has a duty to do something.”

“I have asked my Foundation (www.calvinayrefoundation.org) to send £10,000 to U.K. based Oxfam (www.oxfam.org.uk) to aid in their Haiti relief efforts.”

“But that’s not all. I want to personally challenge the rest of the online gaming industry to contribute to Oxfam’s Haiti relief efforts. My private foundation will match all donations made to Oxfam by an online gaming person totaling up to $1,000,000.”

“In a situation like this, each of us has a duty to help. Let’s do it!”

About Calvin Ayre

Calvin Ayre is the Founder of the Bodog online gaming and entertainment brand, which he developed and launched in 1994.

As the face of the Bodog brand, Ayre’s notoriety skyrocketed in the mid-2000s when online gaming’s popularity surged. Ayre’s public profile went mainstream when he was featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine’s 2006 annual “Billionaires” issue, as well as being named one of People Magazine’s “Hottest Bachelors” just months later, and one of Star Magazine’s “Most Eligible Billionaire Bachelors” in late 2007.

Ayre received a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc) in General Sciences from the University of Waterloo in 1984, where he played defense for the varsity hockey team. In 1989, Ayre was also awarded an MBA in Management Finance from City University in Seattle, Washington.

In 1994 Ayre sold everything he owned and, with just $10,000 to his name, assembled his team and launched the original Bodog.

Ayre retains an interest in the brand licensing organization BodogBrand.com, which owns and licenses the Bodog brand to various “brand licensees” in the entertainment sector.

In November, 2009, Ayre launched www.calvinayre.com, a “tabloid blog” or “tablog” targeted at the online gaming industry.

Making Money Consistently Playing Internet Texas Hold Em

So you want to make money playing poker? The popularity of Texas Hold ‘em poker has increased significantly over the years especially with the presence of big money tournaments aired on television. These attractions have created an interest from individuals who want to join the craze and believe that these players are making this kind of money on a consistent basis. But in reality, these players are just as vulnerable of winning this money as well as losing it. There are so many ups and downs in Hold ‘em that it really takes a skilled player to master the game and win money consistently.

I believe there are two essential tips that are crucial for success in Texas Hold ‘em on the internet. The first one and most importantly is money management. Playing for the right amount of money that makes you feel comfortable as well as giving you the drive to play your best is very important.  So many people attack the game of poker the wrong way by playing tournaments with too high of a buy in or cash games with blinds that are too big for their bankroll to survive. Over my years I have gone through increased amounts in my bankroll as well as very unfortunate decreases. Another common characteristic some people have and which I’d include in this topic is continually playing when continually losing. I have had discussions with many people about this and I will admit that I have done this mistake many times. The conclusion I have come up with is simple, when you are losing, don’t play. It can become very tough sometimes to stop playing when you have seen your bankroll much higher then what it is currently at. Avoid this as much as possible! If you are losing money at a consistent level, there is a reason for the losing. Stop playing and take a break.

My second tip for success is to pick which game suits your style. Over the years I have tried all different types of poker and game types. I have developed favourite tournaments and types that I don’t prefer. I have played the whole nine yards including cash games, sit and go’s, multi table tournaments, and heads up. Personally for me, I have developed a skill for 6-person turbo tournaments ranging in multiple types of buy-ins. I find that the turbo increase in blinds allows me to become more of an aggressor which benefits my style of play. I feel confident and comfortable and usually win consistent money playing them.

I have played poker for many years and am confident enough to say I do understand a fair amount of poker knowledge and strategy. On the other hand, I admit confidently that I still have lots to learn about Hold ‘em. The fact that there are so many ways of winning and so much information to learn, it is the reason why I have fallen in love with this game.  This leads into the most important advice I’d give to someone who wants to begin playing. This would be to keep an open mind. This game is too complex and the strategy involved can be so detailed that it is essential to retrieve and incorporate as much information as possible. When there is no defined way of playing Hold ‘em, a stubborn and one-way approach to the game is the first step to failure. Personally for me, I understand that this game has been around much longer then myself and that taking advice from players who have had experience playing this game is very beneficial and will contribute to my overall success.
