Oops I won a Nottingham satellite
by Adam on Dec.22, 2010, under life, poker
Yesterday I was playing some 3x turbo satellites and I registered for a “seat only” tournament in the UK without realizing it. Of course, this was the only tourney in the session I won, so now I have an entry into a $865 tournament in Nottingham, England February 11th. I checked with pokerstars and unfortunately I can’t sell/exchange/transfer this entry. My only choices are to play it, or forfeit the entry. My plan right now is to play some more satellites and try and win another that includes spending money and hotel. This way I can use that extra cash to pay for the plane ticket (about $1500). I’ll be playing all January to try and get this otherwise I’m going to have to foot the bill for everything else. Either way, it will be a fun experience for me. I have never been overseas to Europe so I’m looking forward to that.
Today I’m flying back home to Wisconsin for the holidays to see my family. I plan to take the rest of the year off pokerwise until perhaps December 31st because I need to clear some bonuses.
