Given the $10,000 choice.....
If I were to win $10,000 in a tournament and had the choice to use it for an entry to the WSOP main event or keep it....I would keep it in a heartbeat.
I have often thought about what the limit to that thinking is for me. I think I would be willing to play into the Bellagio Friday night tourney (risk approx. $200 to win and then risk approx. $1000).....but that would probably be it....at least until my family and I have more money than we know what to do with. If I ever won a lottery type amount of money....it would be my immediate response..."What am I going to do you ask? I'm going to pay off any debt, buy my wife the house and car of her dreams and go play in the WSOP!"
But I could use $10,000 a lot more than the "chance" at beating 2,000+ for million$.
