Default Re: Given the choice of $$ or seat.....

It is interesting no one said they would take the seat.

I took the seat.

While the thread has been a hypothetical discussion, I actually had to make this very decision recently. I won an entry to the EPT finals in Monte Carlo worth $16,500. Although PokerStars does not give you the option of taking cash instead, I can transfer the package and have had several offers of cash. I am a small stakes on line player, and I realize only too well that my chances in Monte Carlo are slim. But I want to go for all the reasons that PokerGenius mentioned.

Hey, its an experience!

Suerte,
Jonathan

ps. Monte Carlo is filled with beautiful and rich ladies. So if I lose at the tables, who knows...I might win elsewhere! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
