I won a WCOOP $109 ticket after the $109 events were over.
I emailed support and they forwarded it to the VIPClub which oversee's the tickets that were won in the tournaments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may add $106.00 of your cash and get a $215 WCOOP ticket. Or you
may also use the $109 WCOOP ticket for next year.

Can you make it so that I can use the $109 in satellites instead of having to $106, I'm a bit short at the moment.
----------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry, we aren't making any exceptions in these cases. Many players have
asked to switch the ticket value into satellites, and we have said no to
everyone.

Perhaps you could find a player to stake you for the rest of the buy-in? I
know this isn't an ideal solution, but we can't break our policy at this
stage.

Wouldn't it make sense to have a satellite for those with $109 tickets??
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The WCOOP tickets were intented to be used only for WCOOP events, not
satellites.

I know they were intended to be used for events but i won my ticket after the $109 events were already complete. I APPRECIATE THE TICKET But why give out tickets to events that already went off then make people figure out to use them and waste several hours of man time and my time
--------------------------------------------------------------
Besides waiting to use the ticket in next year's series, or upgrading your
ticket, there is a third use (that has only just been brought to my
attention).

The $109 tickets can be used to play in the WCOOP Second Chance tourneys, and
there are still several left at the $109 level.

I hope that is a more suitable option for you.

Friday morning I opened my pokerstars account to find my remaining $.39c and 1500 FPP's after a rough night playing cash games and sng's.

I played a few FPP tournaments for the 1/4 million and took down 2 to climb up to $22 in $T.

After grinding out some sng's and working off the $T into real money, I now have a bit over $50 in my account from playing O8 3.40 sng's.

$109 drama.............................

I recieved an email from vipclub@pokerstars.com informing me of a freeroll for WCOOP events, giving away $7,000 in seats, I placed in the top 27 getting a $109 ticket that I can't use because all of the $109 events have already went off, pokerstars will not upgrade it, they said I could purchase a $215 ticket but they wouldn't let me use the ticket to play in satellites or anything else. Which seems unfair, why would they give away a seat to a tournament and not have a tournament coming up? The email also stated I could save it for next years WCOOP event. I mean come on, what would the harm be in allowing me to use the ticket on satellites.

So as of right now, I'm looking for a mini backer into the PLO event on the 18th if anyone is interested after taking a look my stats, please post here or send me a message on sharkscopers.com.

I'm offering 50/50 no stake back due to putting $109 in myself taking the same risk as whomever backs me.

I'm looking for a bit of help with my O8 game.

I have pretty good stats in the O8 turbo's under $10, but I need to move up to supplement my income and would like some advice from players who either have better stats than me in the same $$ or someone with winning stats in $10 or higher turbo O8 sngs.
