He got 10K and $1000 for expenses/whatever the site he won at offers.

I understood what the prize was. However, as others have expressed, I would much rather take the cash if I wasn't already planning on playing in the ME.

This guy would have been destined to win the whole thing. But, telling the story in advanced has jinxed it.

If I thought I won $11K, but realized I actually won a WSOP ME seat I'd be super pissed. It's practically an $11K prize down the shitter. It might be cool to play in it, and everything, but I'd rather have the cash.

So the concept of EV means nothing to you?

Or maybe you are considering EV and admitting to us that it would be -10k for you in the WSOP?

For me it would be a very very large longshot cause I suck at NLHE, so yes it would be $10K down the shitter.

I just think with a field of that size, and so many players with much more skill than the average player who goofed his way into the tournament that some would be better off taking the money. I know I would.

I thought for sure this story was going to be about someone locating a sucker (aka "goof") who would back him.
