For example Event #38 is the main event for the Pokerstars SCOOP 2012 it starts at 14:30 ET on Sunday, May 20^th 2012 and players can buy-in for Low $82, Medium $700 or High $7500 versions of the tournament, the same is true for all the events in that the same event number starts at the same time and only the buy-in amount varies meaning each event will have three final winners based on buy in amount.

Finding soft poker games has become a much harder task in recent times as online poker player skills have advanced over the last couple years as a direct result of information and tutorials on how to best play just about every poker hand scenario under the sun thanks to the internet all the answers are at the touch of a few keys.

In all fairness, weak poker games can be found at all rooms but from my general observations the more popular a poker room is the tighter the games appear to be.

Take Pokerstars for instance even the micro-stakes games are filled to the brim with players with advanced knowledge and capabilities to play a wide range of styles filled with deceptive play and tight as hell players never willing to take a bit of a gamble if the odds aren’t in their favor. Then the higher you advance in limits at Pokerstars the skill levels of those found grinding just increases exponentially making it extremely difficult to show a profit for your hard day’s play.

Luckily, there are some poker rooms still available that a stocked full with fish who are will to take long shots on unfavorable odds with little knowledge of how to play poker let alone hand rankings and the like.

Cake Poker have set up a step satellites tournament for entry into the WSOP 2012 main event the steps are set begin on the 5th April 2012 where entry into step 1 is $0.30 with the first final worth $10,000 being scheduled for 15th April 2012.

Cake Poker remains one of only a handful of poker sites where Americans are still allowed to play for real money.

Other interesting facts about Cake poker’s WSOP satellite qualifiers are that winners will be responsible for their own WSOP registration, accommodation and travel arrangements while in Las Vegas and that should the prize pool for the $10K Main Event Final tournament not reach $10,000, no $10K prize will be awarded and the prize pool will be paid out to the Players finishing in the top three places of the tournament.

Basically, Cake Poker will pay winning players $10,000 into their real money balance of their Cake Poker Account if the tournament prize pool reaches at least $10k but players need to arrange their transport, hotel and even make their own buy-in into the WSOP 2012.

This event sounds to me like a bit of a stretch of being a proper WSOP qualifier, but for those interested (perhaps USA players with existing Cake Poker accounts)  feel free to see the Cake Poker WSOP Main Event Satellites Steps schedule that continues below.
