WTF!

So sick. Not just to do it, but since most of the sharks stop after the first win, these had to have been sick +++++EV for him.

[bigspenda73]

This is probably the sickest thing I've seen in poker if true

[grnydrowave2]

But how much did he lose?

[silu73]

Jebus! The MTT community should tell him to come this way and tell his side of the story.

[UG]

isn't it a bit unfair if he gets to play in the WSOP 100 times?

[a500lbgorilla]

Life's unfair. He earned those seats.

[nutsinho]

Once a multitabler, always a multitabler.

[vaks]

damn and this whole time i thought he was desperately playing in those step sngs just to get a seat....

[bode]

i wonder how many FPP's he amassed doing this, especially since they've had 2x VPP's for WSOP sats lately.

[uscheese]

[bigred]

I'll play a seat for you, sir

[bjsaust]

God, and this is what he plays to make up table numbers while grinding MTTs.

Will he be able to sell the seats? An acquaintance of mine is complaining that he won a seat through a freeroll, but he can't use it because he's underage. He claims that he can't sell the package because it's in his name.

im quite confident that he would have looked into this before he spent the greater part of the last few months playing these.

LOL wat

[mrhappy333]

wtf 100 seats?
nice going!!

[Erpel]

I never thought I'd need to look into it for myself so my 'knowledge' on the topic is patchy at best - that said I think the following is possibly true:

I recall reading somewhere that winning WSOP (or other tournament) seats or packages through online qualifiers now are straight cash payouts, because the poker sites can no longer (since when I do not know) sign you up for a tournament and pay your entrance fee. Tournament registrations have become personal and not doable through a proxy.

[Lukie]

But how much did he lose?

[Fnord]

But how much did he lose?

Lukie! Vegas just wasn't the same without your watch.

[BankItDrew]

So how does he get value for them? Does he have to sell them all on his own before the main event?

[drmcboy]

The first time that a player wins a Qualifier, the prize which that player wins is the entry fee to the Event (US$10,000) plus US$2,500 spending money for the Event. The prize will be deposited into the player’s PokerStars account. If a player wins additional Qualifiers, that player's PokerStars account will be credited with W$10,000 and that player will receive US$2,500 in cash.

[d0zer]

** Tournament Dollars can be used to register into regular and special events; W$ can only be used for special events.

WTF? So W$ suck more than T$?
