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.

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.

Have her faking her death is also an option.

No no no. Cause then her chips would just be blinded off because no one else can touch them!

She couldn't use her credit card to put funds in your account? Or even trasfer money once the funds are deposited? Well I'm sure you won't make the mistake again. Look on the bright side, if she likes playing poker you just won her a pretty nice gift :0)
