1  Poker Forums / The Rail / Vegas Trip on: January 27, 2009, 03:13:11 AM
Ok I won a trip for 2 to Vegas worth £2500. Me and a couple of mates were planing on going to Vegas for a month in July anyway, so I decided that I'd use it then and they could split the other half of the prize(eg friend #1 books his own trip and friend #2 pays him for half of it)

About a month has I've now found out that the prize is a trip for 2 for one week and it cant be altered in any way. I asked would it be possible for them to give me 1 weeks accomodation but delay the return flight by 3 weeks or could they give me 3 flights to Vegas and no acomodation but they said that they purchased these packages in bulk and although they're worth £2500 they only cost them £1500. So the best they could offer me was £1500 in cash.

It seems that taking the cash is handiest but I feel I'm losing out, so what I'm asking is would it be bad form if I:

A) Took the £1500 and kept it for myself

or

B) Went on a week long trip to Vegas in say April as well our planned one in July (the problem with this option being that neither of them may even be able to afford this, so I might have to invite someone else)

With the Flop reading , once chip daddy Carl O'Connell pushes all-in for around 10k, leaving a tortured Davvy O'Sullivan with a decision for both his 4.5k in chips and his entire tournament life. As Carl peers down at the felt, his stare frostier than a snowman in the freezer, Davvy unzips the think tank and jumps in. After a few moments, he pops his head back out, trickles his chips over the line and reveals Pocket Tens, his breath held whilst he awaits his opponent to flip over his cards. To his relief, Carl shows an inferior -4s and Davvy is allowed to exhale the deep breath that he'd been holding. The Turn was a constructive one for Davvy, his opponent's outs reduced to just a Four, and as the dealer popped out a harmless on the River, he gently tapped the table in triumph and plonked himself back down in his seat. Karl, meanwhile, wore a face like a smacked bottom, or perhaps one who's fingers had been crunched in the poker cookie jar. Game on!




Any chance of an update on Carl O' Connell??

and Sam Hayes too?

Ooh, sorry, play for the day has now finished, but we'll be sure to keep an eye on them tomorrow, especially Sam because she is better looking.  Grin


WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT???
