lombardo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Do you think it will be legit to sell a maxim poker GF ticket if we were to qualify via the monthly draw? Or if we qualify for the GF twice? Would like to hear everyones views. I don't think you're able to win 2 weekly finals are you? Even if you are and did, I think it's wrong for that spare ticket to be sold. As morl says, a lot of people have commited a lot of time and effort to be where they are on the leaderboard. Hopefully our efforts will be rewarded by getting the opportunity to attend and compete at the final in London. If I were to somehow win 2 tickets, I would be offering the spare ticket to the person in 16th place on the leaderboard as I feel that would be the fair thing to do and would hope, if I were in 16th place (which I may well be) others would do the same. This further emphasises morl's point that for someone to just buy their way in to the final when all those around have worked their asses off is wrong and completely off-side. Like many people, these are only my views though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many people, these are only my views though. Think it's a moot subject anyway. I am certain someone qualified twice last year, and they only sent them one set of tickets. Completely agree though. It would not be cricket to buy your way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonist Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 I was thinking about something similar last night, if someone knocked out the bounty and qualified what would be the point of that person winning the tournament, would the 2nd place qualify?

lombardo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: VC/Maxim King of Poker 2006 Am out already! Shocking performance. Finished 144th so only a pathetic 11 points for me. Hit the straight 9,10,J,Q,K on the flop. Some guy went all in so called him only to see he had an Ace high flop! Bugger. Oh well, least it's only low numbers on a Tuesday Afternoon!

Will be scared of the river the whole time! Haha. Oh well, like I said, at least it's a fairly low points loss I've suffered. Should have been more patient though!
