Re: what kind of idiot are you?
You win a WSOP seat plus hotel and some expense money through a satellite for pennies on the dollar and you have the balls to bitch about the details. You should be grateful these sites offer that opportunity. How much money they make from it is none of your concern. They offered a product that you bought.If you dont like the way it is run next time you can pay your own entry fee, hotel, and expenses out of your pocket. That sounds reasonable to me. Hey I won a Buick LeSabre at a par 3 hole in one contest. I think I should have been entitled to a Lincoln because they skimmed enough off the top to pay for one. I think I should get some fancy wheels, a custom color, upgraded sound system, and english leather interior because the sign at the pro shop said "fully loaded". You get the point?

Re: what kind of idiot are you?
What a stupid post. They didn't give him anything, they setup the game that allowed him and other people to wager against each other to win something that is supposed to be the sum of their wagers minus the rake. If that's not the case, then he's been defrauded, period.

Re: what kind of idiot are you?
I am dead serious. This guy paid peanuts to enter a tourny to have a chance at winning a prize package that included a "luxury hotel" room. He wins and doesnt like the hotel and can find a cheaper hotel and thinks he is entitled to money back.He also states that he thinks the poker site is skimming money from the room rates. Understand that "luxury hotel" is subjective.If my uncle won this package (he is not a poker player) anything less than $1500.00/night is a dump.So using the posters logic my uncle would be entitled to an extra $1300.00/night cash because his standard of living is higher than the average person. If he didnt like what they were offering he could have just paid for everything out of pocket. Nothing I hate worse than a sore winner

[/ QUOTE ] that has nothing to do with what's at hand. party poker's prize package, which comes directly out of the entry fees of the other contestants, bills 200 dollars per night of hotel rooms, but they only cost 150. this is an unadvertised rake.

Re: what kind of idiot are you?
Two things. First, the MGM has a poker room now, and I would expect many people to play there. You are given a few extra days in addition to the length of the tournament. If you dont think that Party gets a cheper rate, call up any hotel and tell them you want to book 1000 rooms and see what they do. Second, Party hasnt done anything. At least stars pays for your hotel. We put up all the money for every single thing we get from Party. We dont owe them a damn thing. Its one thing if the poker site gives you hotel/clothes/dinners, but when they give you less than what you paid for....
