Sorta related to Subby's post....this weekend, I'm in a tourney with 150 others, 1st prize is either 7500 in cash or 10k in an entry to the WSOP main

event which will be about 7000 people for a shot at 1st prize of let's say $10mil.

Which would you choose if you won? The 7500 in cash or the entry to the biggest prestigous event around.

Main Event for a joke (unless I really needed the cash). -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:05
Depends on the cash breakdown of the other tourney. nm - Jim Jun 25, 07:04 8
- Top 10% get paid, last year first paid was $20k. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:05 7
  - I guess I would have to figure the odds that I would be able to make the $7500 in the big tourney. - Jim Jun 25, 07:12 6
    - Tourney that big is a total crapshoot. Skill can help, but you need a lot of luck to make the money. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:13 5
      - This is my rough feelings, I'd love to do the ME....but I don't have enough faith in cashing to turn down the guaranteed money. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:15
      - yeah, thinking about I probably would too, but maybe enter the 1000 or 1500 Tourney instead -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:14 3
        
        What are the entry fees on that? It might be fun to take $2500 or something and enter a big tourney and keep the $5000. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:17 2
        
        $1000 or $1500. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:17 1
        
        See, this would not be a bad way to go. Keep a bit aside to go play in a WSOP tourney next year. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:18
Cash. Every time. -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 07:04 3
- yes, but how many chances do you get to play in the WSOP? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 07:05 2
  - I figure I'll keep working to win one through a cheap entry online - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:07
  - I always figured that I could just buy an entry some day when my kids are older and my house is paid off. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:06
