Party Poker Million Dollar Seat

XXXNoahXXX · #1 06-17-2005, 12:29 AM

A seat in this tourney is $600+$40, but I won one through a multitable qualifier, and was wondering if I unregister for the tournament, would the $640 be added to my account, or does this not work? Any previous experience would be helpful. Thanks.

You must play.

Your best move would be play it for fun, or let a friend play on your account for 200$ or whatever.

"Play it for fun"? What, you don't have faith that I can pull in the number one spot?

You must play in the tournament or else forfeit your prize. However, if you win additional Million $ Guarantee seats before the tournament goes off, you can convert those seats into cash (provided that you use your first freeroll to enter the tournament).

I first started playing tournaments a few weeks ago, and one of my first few was for an entry into the 350K, with top 13 getting the spot. I realized how dopey the thing was after winning a spot -- I'm much more likely to win $200 playing ring NL for the several hours it takes to complete one of these things.

I also found out that Party is a little skrewy with their rules. I had no idea there were restrictions on when you could play, but some of their big tourneys have rules that say you have to play the *next* one. I was unavailable for the next one, and only noticed their rule on their website the following week. So I thought [censored], there goes a $200 entry.

The thing is, though, that when I pull up the screen four this weekend's $350K and hit "register", it *does* still show that I have a free entry. So I *think* I will be playing Sunday.

Moral of the story is -- Party isn't always serious about that "next tourney" thing.

They're pretty serious about it. I was able to postpone a freeroll of this type once, when THEY cancelled a $200K at the last minute, and I was unavailable the following Saturday. Even then, I had to plead with them, and they wouldn't convert it to an open freeroll--they registered me for the $200K the following Saturday.
