Help please, i sure as hell need it,
Hey boys and girls, this is the biggest question ive asked here, but i need some serious advice. I am a relatively new poker player, been playing for about a year, and i'm a small but consistant winner. I don't make a whole lot of big bucks but i do ok. Well i've continually entered the UB 3 dollar Stone Cold Nuts tourney super sataliettes jusdt because i saw how incredibly poorly people played in them and how often they rebought. Long story short i won my way into the big one which is on Jan 11. I'm a college student and my honors program is sending me to Florence the same day and there is no way i can play, and ub won't let me sell the account. I want to play badly but at the moment there is absolutely nothing i can do that will let me play this tournament. Advice? the only think i can possibly think of is to let some honest soul who is reputable on this site play my account for me and recieve a cut of the potential winnings, but i'm surely open to other ideas. Please help a poor college kid who doesn't feel like seeing my 2050 dollar rot. Thanks again.

Re: Help please, i sure as hell need it,
You do have a tough situation. Your best bet is to have a relative or friend that you know in real life play for you. You could teach even a total newbie "The System" (see Sklansky, "Tournament Poker for Advanced Players").
If you do get a stranger to play for you, I think you should ask for money up front, enough to ensure the person is serious and so you win something regardless. If the tournament entry fee is $2000 I would sell the seat for $500 plus a 50% split. That is enough of an overlay that any serious player should jump at it. Good luck. Paul Paul |

i can't think of anything else you could do. one bit of advice: don't let anyone you don't know very well play for you, and make sure to very clearly agree on his cut ahead of time, to prevent potential problems from arising.

Re: Help please, i sure as hell need it,
Isn't the replacement playing from the college kid's account? that means any winnigs beeing credited to the kid's account?
I think here it is the replacement that has to worry about getting his share. |
