    I have a ticket and would like input as to the best value for a low-level semi-donkish player. My understanding is that I have to use this for the WCOOP. I'm thinking just pick one of the 215 NL tourneys. Will some have bigger fields than others or about the same or does it really matter? How many donks like me will be playing in these?

    Thanks for the input

    if you have a good 6max NL game you should def play the first event but id imagine there would be more donks in event 3

    All of the 215s except the 6max and rebuys are the exact same as the sunday million

    If you're inexperienced, probably play one of the regular $215s. There will plenty of satty players who will play as though they've nothing to lose-after all, to them, it only cost $10-20 or so!!

    As to what to do, SHIP THE FUCKER !!!!!!

    except the structure is wayyyyy slower. longer levels and more levels. the first NL is 2 Mill gty, the others are like 1.5Mill.

    Also the start times vary. since even going halfway through the field will take forever, consider the start time and how that works for you.

    Event 3 starts at 17:00 with a 2mill gty.
    Event 31 starts at 13:00 with a 1.5Mill gty - as do events 41 and 60 (looks like this takes the slot from the warmup)

    Considering they are all on sundays though I suppose the guarantees are irrelvant and that the fields will overflow them anyway.

    def NOT this. there will be way more dead money and ppl coming to "take their shot" at wcoop. and with the better structure its obvious to choose a wcoop preferably event 1 or 3. just play ur game and dont let the higher buy in deter u. gl

    Thanks all! Looks like I'll play one of the 1.5 gtd due to the earlier starting time. Also, as I understand it, I can't use this ticket for any events/buyins other than wcoop.

    Thanks again!

    Not sure what you believe I meant-you can't use the WCOOP ticket for anything other than one of the events.
