Can't believe none of you put value on the enjoyment and experience of going to the WSOP over some simple cash, guess with everyone playing online no one really loves the game anymore, it's just a job.

I assume he just didn't realize you could buy in for $10K. I don't know how he thought you could get in, but I can't see how a seat is worth more than $10K to anyone when it's only $10K to buy in directly.

Maybe if he wouldn't have spent the $10K, it lets him "splurge" without feeling irresponsible about the money.

I am with you man. I would have crapped myself to get to go to Vegas and play in the Main Event. Although I am only 19. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's practically an $11K prize down the shitter

So the concept of EV means nothing to you?

Or maybe you are considering EV and admitting to us that it would be -10k for you in the WSOP?

For me it would be a very very large longshot cause I suck at NLHE, so yes it would be $10K down the shitter.

I just think with a field of that size, and so many players with much more skill than the average player who goofed his way into the tournament that some would be better off taking the money. I know I would.

What's really funny is that this is almost the IndieMatty story. He had no idea he was in a WSOP satellite tourney until partway through. This was only his 3rd MTT ever.

He went to finish.........2 spaces outside the prize.

About the original story..

It just amazes me that people can't say WOW, what a great story!! Instead, they sneer at the fact that the guy is more excited about a 11k buy in then getting 11k in his pocket. Who cares?!?! He's playing in the WSOP!! Wish him good luck, maybe he's the next Moneymaker.

Re: Goof Puts Man in Major Poker Tourney
 

It's because a seat and $11k are essentially the exact same thing, except with a seat you don't have a choice. See?
