Default Re: Beat: I sort of won and lost $1,562,239 in 18 hours

First post. Thought this was post worthy, maybe not.

So I was playing poker Tuesday night. Signed out of my account with 20k or so account balance. Two hours later I signed back in...I thought it said I had $15,622 left in my account. I was mad. I looked again and I realized I read it wrong and that it was $1,562,239 exactly. I was thinking that there was a major computer glitch...and crossing my fingers that I hit some kind of jackpot. I had received no email from the poker site. I decided to wait until morning to see if it was still there. Eight hours later...still there...still no email or anything at all from the poker site. At this point I figured I had 2 options.

1. I could notify the site and ask what's going on and hope that the money is mine.

2. I could cash out the money, or play with it...and wait for them to notice.


I opted for choice number one. They said it was an error and they took everything out of the account but what I had had in there. I don't think they even realized anything was missing and I have yet to receive any sort of an email in regards to whose money it was and how it got in my account.

Did I make the right move? I'm sort of amazed by all of this.

So, you stopped playing, got drunk, signed back in and since your idiocy could not be controlled at this point read the play money balance as your real one, and were messed up on the digits because you were a little drunk and it wasn't what you thought it should be. You idiotically notify everyone of your crazy play money roll. You wake up in the morning sober and see your real balance and assume the site fixed things, then feel dumb when you notice your play money balance of 1.5 mil. To make yourself feel better you embellish the story a little bit and attention whore yourself out to BBV.
