I played there for 4 months, won about 60$. Could care less about the 60 - It was the shot at the packages I wanted.
Would you pay $20.00 for a game where the top prize was a 10k entry fee, Airfare and all accommodations to, say, the LAPC? You bet your arse you would.
Problem is, you don't automatically get entry into those games! No, you gotta pay 5k in points to enter it, which means you have to make 5k in points first. O.K., you get 500 a day and if you use it wisely, as I did in SNG's, you can fairly easily make those games. Just keep in mind you have to pay taxes on the total value of the package you win. Not only that, only THE winner gets it. The rest of the field gets...can you guess? That's right...points.
In the end, I could probably turn 20 a month into 20k before I could win one of those games. And you wouldn't believe how many members play every one, starting off by going all in on the first hand. A game worth upwards of 20 grand, played like a merge fun step one to start, then it becomes like a merge $50.00 freeroll.
Then there was the time I found DOZENS of games being played by what could only be WPT operated computer players...They kept folding to each other, and were stuck in a loop with the blinds maxed out. The hand counts were up over 100,000! Think WPT explained that one to me adequately? WTF?
ROFLMAO. I no longer play at club WPT. The software is the same (with a GOD MODE) that allowed the UB scandal, where a user could see all the other players cards. Not that I think the package games are rigged, but think about it....as far as I know, only 2 of those winners ever made a cash; most get there and cannot even play poker. Do you really think they are paying out that "100 grand a month" in cash and prizes they advertise? I don't.
Add it all up, It isn't worth 20 cents a month.
