Free entry into WPT from Paradise Poker question

bobaloo23 · #1 09-26-2004, 03:00 AM

Hi,
I won an entry into the WPT Foxwoods event on Paradise and have a question. I play under my girlfriends account because she had a credit card and I didn't. So paradise is giving me a hard time saying she has to play. Has anyone ran into this before or can suggest anything to help?

Ask them where they get higher PR EV - from you who has a remote chance of making the final table, or from your girlfriend who doesn't know anything about Poker.

How about a wig, some make-up, and a nice dress? This way you could better pass yourself off as her. Sorry it had to be said.

Good Luck,

Tuds

read the rules for the tournament. every one I have played in says the win which qualifies you is not transferrable to another player. she is the player on this account, not you. to keep credibility in he on line tournaments, i see this rule as fair.

True. I'm not going to sell my $10,000 satellite token to Phil Helmuth for 9,000.... it's understandably bunk. Sit that girl down and teach her some poker.

Just an update, we got it all worked out and I am good to go. I also won another seat and am selling it in another post if anyone is interested.

On a side note, why does everyone think it would be unfair to transfer to another player or a pro? Obviously people who win these(no comment on myself) have to be good players to win them in the first place. And if a pro wanted to play they could win one themselves couldn't they? I don't see the big deal.

is it easy to win a seat there?

you......are f**ked.

It would be too easy to insert a more knowledgable player into a final without the rule that is biting you in the ass.

Bummer......

No no no. Train her! Teach her to play perfect poker until she is more machine than man! ...woman.
