    Default IRISH OPEN 2008, my seat....need help??? 3 million euro gua

    So I won three t0urneys back 2 back to win the only seat they were giving to the Irish Open 2008 in Dublin. I have played professionally for over 16 yrs (34 year old male). Since a family problem back 2 years ago my bankroll has been HORribly depleted. My point: I am looking for a backer to cover trip costs to Dublin for a nice cut of my profits.


    Recap: I have my seat already to leave for Dublin from Arizona in March, 2008. Wanting to make a deal.

    Thanks

    perhaps scam wasn't the appropriate word, but you get the gist of what I was saying. You don't really know anyone on this site so I'm not sure who's going to actually want to be a part of this.

    Why not just win the money? If you are a professional poker player and all.

    If you can't afford to go and need the money, then obviously you sell the ticket? Am I missing something?

    Default Apparently this strikes a nerve...

    I will assume at this point the nerves I have struck amongst persons are life threatening...oops.

    My seat is won, value 6k. Problem being they are non-refunable or transferrable per the rules I looked up on the site.


    I dont want a handout, this is actually an investment opp, whereas the ability is proven with the already obtained seat. When I was well into generous bankroll levels, I can't even list the amount of times where I made great investments into people who needed assistance and whereas I came out ahead. Apparently along with the addition of SO much dead money over the past years into poker, the skepticism and lack of vision followed.

    No sign of him on thehendonmob - you'd think a pro of 16 years would've cashed at least one donkament?

    Default cost breakdown and cashes..

    I can provide a list of cashes, but for the first 13 *est years it was all cash games...

    anyway yeah they gave some cash for expenses, but not nearly enough. My assumption because they are located out of the US they expected a lot less cost for travel and such, as they also work in Euro of course in Southern Ireland..

    Hotel = $950.00
    Flight = $1,000 (est)
    Incidendals (food) = $400.00

    As I had stated the seat is worth 6k USD looking to shave off cost of trip for a nice perecentage...

    Default cost..

    2 better explain, though it isn't something I talk about much, when I was rolling in loot, our son was taken, yes taken. Trust me its a bad, bad experience. Then within a month my wife went completely nuts. I assure you this is a scenario you don't want to live aside from the 10's of 1000's you spend on potential solutions to both problems. I took 12 months off, and have just started to play again recently in the last year. It was a very tough start, though slow is steady I guess.

    Anyway the poker world even in just a few yrs has changed so dramatically.

    What happened to the restaurant that you managed/co-owned? Sell its ass to buy a ticket.

    why would you choose to play in a qualifying event without the proper resources to fund your own trip. and if you did this knowingly how do you expect anyone to "invest" in you when you demonstrate that type of judgement..?

    Default simple...

    I had the money, certainly, or I would have never played. Father just had surgery...and being both parents are disabled I was happy to pay for the cost...Would love to show some pics, making people violentally ill as half his leg is chopped off..Anyway tell me how to post a pic here...

    That is the reason.

    hey pokrmoney, its gonna be tough man, as you are new to ftr and havent really established any credit here with the other members. do you have any friends or coworkers or anything that you could ask to invest, i know when i won my first wsop package, i sold some shares off to friends and it helped so my trip was paid for and didnt have to come out of my pocket, well anyways wish you the best man.

    pokrmoney, you should read our FTR Rules Of Conduct (posted at the top of each of our forums) before posting. You may very well be legit, but we still have rules that all the regulars here abide by. Particularly for newcomers, we enforce our rules quite stringently.
