How to Choose Which WSOP Tournament(s) to Attend

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is less than two months away, and tens of thousands of poker players will go to the newly rebranded The Horseshoe to achieve their WSOP ambitions.

And now that the calendar is out, you’ve probably already decided which events you’d want to attend. This might be a difficult decision if you need to consider several factors such as your bankroll, how long you can continue for, and so on. Fortunately for you, PokerNews has attempted to assist you in making that choice with our advice on how to pick the best WSOP tournament(s) to participate.

Determine Why You’re Going Before You Go To Vegas, you should decide why you’re going. Some individuals play poker for enjoyment and are unconcerned about winning or losing. Some see it as a chance to write their name in poker history.

Simply stated, you must determine if you want to play recreationally or professionally.

If you’re there to have a good time, you should participate in the events that you like the most. If your main goal is to make as much money as possible, you should choose events in which you feel you will have an advantage.

What time are you leaving?

It goes without saying that you should only participate in activities that begin and conclude in Vegas. A typical bracelet tournament lasts at least three days, so avoid playing an event that concludes on the same day as your leave.

Of course, reaching the WSOP final table means you’ll be able to bear the price of any changed flights, but travelling back home for job or family obligations is more difficult to accommodate.

How much money do you have?
Unless you have infinite dollars to throw at every event, you should definitely think about the impact each entrance will have on your bankroll.

To make things simple, assume you have $15,000 set up just for poker and that all of your other expenditures are already met. Unless playing the $10,000 WSOP Main Event is your primary ambition, you should definitely pass it up since it only takes one cooler in the early stages to wipe away two-thirds of your bankroll.

The table below shows the amount of events available within a certain buy-in range so you can understand what possibilities are available.

Another factor to consider is whether or not the event allows re-entries. A $1,000 buy-in event might quickly turn into a $3,000 outlay, so make sure you’re comfortable with the structure and rules of whichever tournament you decide to enter.
