I think Party's WSOP winners get $1.5k in spending money.
Stars is still the better deal (and it's not even close).

do you see why?


Also - if the flight really is more than you can afford you could try selling a stake in yourself for $1k or so. I'm sure you must know someone who would be interested in having 10% of your action.

-------------------

When I won my seat on the PPM cruise I got ZERO spending money.
So I was spending quite a bit on flight for 2...hotel accomodations in San Diego the night before, etc etc.
It never even crossed my mind to bitch about spending $1k+ just to make it out there.
I met several on the cruise who travelled much farther than I did to get to San Diego (england, Ireland, Denmark, Australia) whom I am assuming had to cover their own expenses also. obviously paid more than I did. I didn't hear any of them bitching either.

First, Party gives 1.7K
Second, this is not about what I can or cannot afford, it is about a site that is a giant and is not giving a reasonable deal to players outside the US.
And you all seem to forget that you have to dress like monkeys while in Vegas.
Nof' said.

The 1 grand of spending money is obviously intended to be spent in Crazy Horse 2, not on airfare.

Get a clue. It's Crazy Horse Too.

yeah man, I completely agree. They should fly you in on a private jet, put you up in a suite at the bellagio. Throw a couple call girls at you and give you 20K in spending cash.

Quit being a fucktard whiner. If you dont like the Pstars package, go play for some other package. I dunno why you are having such a hard time with this concept.

okay. so party "gives" 1.7k (they aren't really "giving" because it DOES come out of the freaking prize-pool afterall).

Stars is STILL the better deal and it's not even close.

You have failed to respond to my query of "do you see why?"



Here's a hint....
$13.5k prize (or whatever it is on Party) with a potentially slightly exaggerated hotel-rate that actually comes out of the freaking prize-pool is NOT as good as a $12k value package where only $11k comes out of the prize-pool (such as the case with Stars).



Every single one of those Stars WSOP packages has an OVERLAY of sorts compared with Party.
Why do so many fail to see this?

And this doesn't even include the lower rake in the Stars tourneys (615+35 vs. 300+28 for example) nor the flexibility to play in satellites and use your W$ whenever you damn well please so you aren't tied to that specific qualifier....(you can even save them for future events like WCOOP and EPT or carib-cruise or next year's WSOP).
