I think this is a compromise I could live with.

Unlike a few other posters here, I don't play for recognition, I don't play for thrill and I don't play the long shot (example: I never have nor ever will buy a lottery ticket). But, I do play sattelites for both the entry they offer (often selling it/deregistering if the stakes are too high or competition is too tough) and the experience of MTT'ng. Now, if I did decide to play in a WSOP sat, since you cannot sell/transfer the seat (according to popular wisdom) I like the idea of selling pieces of yourself to your gambling buddies. This way, everyone wins if you win (wouldn't it be nice if you AND 5 of your good friends were all millionairs?), and if you lose (which, considering the skill level AND luck needed to win, is pretty likely) - you still have some $$ to add to your bankroll/play side games.

Thanks for the suggestion - I may play a WSOP sat yet!
