Poker : SCOOP summary

Playing in the SCOOP events was quite time consuming but was pleased I took part.,

I was particularly pleased to satellite my way into the HORSE event and the 8 game events as this made it very cheap to have a chance at winning a huge pot, which is pretty exciting prospect :-)

As it turned out, my best change of cashing was the $109 HORSE event which was also the juiciest pot to have a go at, so was a little bit of a disappointing result, but certainly enjoyed the chance and felt I gave it my best and had a chance to win

The 8 game and NL Hold'em events were also fun to play so overall am happy I spent the time playing the satellites and the games themselves, and certainly feel I got a lot of value for money

Next time I would probably play both the HORSE and 8 game events again, but not play the low stake NL Hold'em as it really is a crapshoot at the beginning.  Instead I will take the time and effort to try and satellite into the higher stakes game as the number of players is a LOT lower and presume in the main the standard of play will be higher, making it less down to luck.  The ability to use the FPP to qualify in the satellite events also makes it particularly attractive to try this

All in all, a good set of Poker events, well run by PokerStars and seemed very popular with the players.   I just need to play better and cash in next time :-)
