Satellite Tournaments?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

batman253 asked:

How do the Satellite Tournaments work? I see all the time on the internet about $215 buy-in to WSOP or WPT Satellite Tournament. If you win this event where does it take you-into a next Satellite? How many satellites do you have to play to earn a WSOP or WPT seat?

Veleno45- Considering you had won a seat at the WSOP-it would be highly appreciated if you could respond (did not know how to contact you directly).

World Series of Poker sponsorships by friends. is it worth it?

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

steveheremd asked:

Last year for the WSOP main event I payed my own way (all expenses plus the $10,000 buy-in) and ended up winning a little over $30K. This year I have some friends who want a piece of the action by paying for part of the buy-in and trip. Things were simple last year as far as the taxes and such and I am just not sure if I want the extra work of seeing that the income (If I win anything) is distributed and the tax forms are proper. Has anyone done this (not including entries won online) where you were sponsored to play? Any suggestions on how to approach this or should I foot the bill and the risk alone again?
