WSOP schedule

Looks like there are less options for players "flying in" for a single NL $1500 event this year. If you play one that starts Saturday, you could be playing on Monday. and I think Wed at noon is too early, you have to fly out Tuesday and be in Vegas almost a week...

Fri, Jun 4th 12:00 PM
3-Day Event Event #11: No-Limit Hold'em
Structure Sheet Pre-Register Now $1,500

Fri, Jun 25th 12:00 PM
3-Day Event Event #45: No-Limit Hold’em
Structure Sheet Pre-Register Now $1,500

Thu, Jul 1st 12:00 PM (prior to main event day 1, but only $1k) Event #54: No-Limit Hold’em - But since I have an obligation to my satellite league, it must be a $1.5k event.

So this leaves me June 3rd-7th or June 24th-28th, in which I would book a flight back for Monday morning. Since I would fly out Thursday night, I can get away with just 2 days off of work.

Anyone else of a like mind?

ADDENDUM:

Wed, Jun 2nd 12:00 PM
3-Day Event Event #8: No-Limit Hold’em
Structure Sheet Pre-Register Now $1,500

(or) Thu, Jun 3rd 12:00 PM
3-Day Event Event #9: Pot-Limit Hold'em

and if I am playing well, but get eliminated, I can play this:
Fri, Jun 4th 12:00 PM
3-Day Event Event #11: No-Limit Hold'em
Structure Sheet Pre-Register Now $1,500

Suddenly, this looks best because IF I decide to play TWO events, this is the best shot at it. I would fly out Tues and back Sun (or miss flight if I made day 3 of second tournament.)

Are you considering non-nlhe events?

i was mulling over either O8 (Sun 5/30), Lowball (Sat. 6/5), PLO (Thu 6/10). I would have been all over the 1500 HORSE, but it starts on a Wednesday at noon which makes it almost impossible to pull off with work.

I need to stick to NL for satellite reasons (I won a seat in my league) and I CAN fly out Tuesday, but only have 9 days off left for the entire year! So that would be 3 of them.

Ray, I am thinking the exact same as you, I might want to play two of the smaller buyin events and yet I don't want to have to be out there for 10 days. Thus, I am looking to go out on Tuesday evening June 1 and play the Wednesday $1500 noon nlh event. That way if I lose during day 1 or day 2 and I want to play another, Friday's $1500 event is waiting right there.

I am not officially 100% confirmed yet for that week, but I'd say it's about 90% likely so far. Will hopefully know for sure in the next week or two.
