EPT vs WSOP

Author: Simon Dexter

Sorry there hasn’t been much in the way of poker game articles. Stella my girlfriend has just given birth to our first baby the next Littlewoods Poker Pro Joshua Chessa ( already an online player at 6 weeks just don’t tell his mum ) With the EPT’s finished and only really the WPT in Paris left its time to start looking across the pond and towards the WSOP?
The World Series!

With its massive growth, this poker tournament event is now too big. Most if not all players want to say “I’ve played in the WSOP” and why not, with sats available from as little as a dollar it’s easier than ever to forge a path to the Promised Land. Being lucky enough to have played in WPT , WSOP , and EPT events thanks to Littlewoods Poker

I am wondering where the value lies for the player?

With a buy in of average 4k Euros and fields of three to four hundred surely the value is with our European Poker Tour (EPT) circuit. Don’t get me wrong, I love to play poker in the USA. It’s been far better to my bank roll than the UK but you have to look at it from a poker playing point of view. Surely it’s easier to get through 300 players rather than 6 thousand? Yes there are huge differences in first prize money but isn’t that always the case when you play poker?

This year WSOP main poker game event is looking at a projected prize pool of circa 80 million with the winner estimated to take home a massive million dollars. Also Littlewoods Poker will enter all their qualifiers into a 0,000 free roll event, while in Vegas. Whether the odds are better for the EPT rather than the WSOP the thing to do is to make sure you qualify for these poker games, the ,000 dollar package for the WSOP finals will ensure you will have the time of your life.

I’m going to leave this open for debate an would love to hear your opinions on the matter please email your thoughts and reasons as to which you would prefer to play in the WSOP or the EPT to tony.chessa@litttlewoodsgaming.com the best letter will get 100 dollars in there poker account good luck all keep on playing.
