They closed the accounts. There were two, in diff. names, thus a breach of partypoker contract. And now its POWN!

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

Hi skunk,

Actually, pwn is a little out-dated. 'POWN,' 'piz0wn!!!!1' and a few others are taking over. Get with it, n00b!

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

I guess Ben Frankin said It best "Neither a lender or a borrower be unless you have a lien on the MoFo's house".

I'm not a tournament player, so I'm not sure what the buy in is or how it works. but let's say you value the seat at $180 (that is, the most amount you'd pay is $180) and the guy is giving it to you for $90.

that means that he'd have to actually get you a seat only 50% of the time for it to be a break-even exchange for you. just because you got screwed this time doesn't mean you made a poor decision. it's obvious from your AIM conversation that you were aware of the risk involved. it sucks, but that's life.
