There was def more than one...
And more than two...

Either way, it's history.

Enjoy the show Emily!


I'm just looking forward to Sunday's money game! :thumbup:

I don't know about playing for Emily, but I'm pretty sure one person playing in the game had another person playing for them too.

Thing is, I don't blame the people who did it so much as the person who set it up. Rules really need to be laid out plainly beforehand. (Not that I guess you could really stop people from doing it.)

I'm not complaining because I don't care about going to the show. Not winning saved me money of having to buy a plane ticket!

Anyone wanna play some cards???

sure man

10 minutes...

I guess I should have logged in earlier this week...would have saved at least a page of ranting. Any pub is better then no pub?? If it weren't for those badass hoodies on Crash's site (for no good reason I promote his shit often and check his site daily) I probably wouldn't have trolled through here.

The only rule breaking I was aware of was this.
URthekey played, as well as another on her behalf.

I let this slide...for the simple reason as (and I didn't want to be Captain Obvious beforehand but I'm forced now...no offense) URthekey is a new player (fish) and didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in winning the tournament herself. Sorry but that's the truth. Anyone that watched her play (and I was watching all warm-up games and both tables of the official tournament for all but 10 minutes when I had to take a smoke break) knows that she was nothing more then a calling station and I don't recall her leading out on any round, regardless what she had. She had great cards and won a few good pots. I did start to get nervous about how long she really lasted. I had hoped she would withdrawl from the tournament and I didn't ask her to publicly or privately to do such. I just let it slide...figured if she did play, it would be 3000 spread out to other players at her table. No harm.

Guilty. :oops:

I received a total of 2 PM's about the tournament (and I'm not naming names here). One asking about how to join (because I failed to put that information on the first post in the beginning) and another about if the potential winner could sell the ticket at face value. I said no. He then said he would play for someone that couldn't but never announced to me for who...and again I didn't press the issue. Anything else about the tournament can be found on the thread. I'm far from a professional event planner (oops there I go being Captain Obvious again...) and I thought the 'honor system' would prevail in this 'game'.

Here's the backstory of this whole debacle (and I use that term very loosely) I knew I had an extra ticket from the start and read every single thread started about how badly someone needed a single ticket to this magical concert with unicorns and fairy dust as the prize to whomever would give up such opportunity. I found this thread here about poker (and I played on PokerStars before Moneymaker won the Top Prize) and started playing. I finally announced I had such a jewel. 2 players at that table showed interest in the ticket. peacefrompaul and mca47. I said let's do a heads-up match for it. Paul didn't play much since that conversation but mca47 did and I mentioned the ticket again a few days (maybe a week) and my new idea for it. Maybe give some other fans a chance to win, promote this damn poker room and strike up a real tournament on Sunday. I had no evil intentions. I was completely under the influence.

I'm all for a good conspiracy theory.
