Won a WSOP package!
 
So far played 3 DS, and final table one to cash in $450. Today, decided to play a 30+3 rebuy for the first time and took it down!

I went on a rush near the end of the tourney and caught ppl bluffing.

So sweet....taking the cash....but if I win another package...I'll probably play it.

Nice nice nice.

So do you only get the 10K buyin? and not the 2500 cash/travel?

either way its great, but I wonder if you might consider playing in it and selling shares or w/e??

Thats alot of $ to give up.

Way to go!!

congrats again!

:cheers:

Nice score!

Great score. Why aren't you going to play though?

EDIT: after about 10 minutes, I answered my own question. If I won a package, there are a number of things that would absorb 5k really quickly.

BTW, anyone have a good racing bike they want to off-load cheap? :)

Great Job, Congrats !!!

Thanks all. I got $2500 cash right away, and Stars adds $10k cash to your account after a few days.

I'm too much of a nit to gamble 10k. I know I would probably be better than 75% of the field at the main event, but my chances to make the money or go deep is pretty slim.

And I seriously don't think I would be able to sell enough of myself to make it worth the hassle. I don't know, I'll probably play more qualifiers and if I win another package, will probably use the W$ for this event, since I would get an upgraded room from stars for being a Supernova.

The obvious solution to this is to win another fucking seat and then win the WSOP

Congratulations! There is absolutly NO doubt in my mind..I would take the package. Once in a lifetime event for me. :)

nice work windbreaker! And you won, it is yours to do with as you like.

Talking Poker 03-16-08 09:17 PM

Woot! Way to go!

And for the record, given the choice, I'd take the money too. I may or may not keep most/all of it in my poker bankroll (you gotta buy yourself SOMETHING cool), but I'd personally rather play 10 $1000 tourneys that one $10k tourney.
