Did I take a 20k bad beat?

[palman]

So I bought into the main event at the last minute, and a friend advised me to go to Full Tilt and sign up for their sponsorship thing for the main event. When I went there during day 1c (I played day 1d) they said they didn't have the old sponsorship deals still left, but if you wore their shirt and got on TV, they'd give you 20k.

Now, I made the broadcast twice, but never for being at a featured table or anything.

1st- for being next to lennox lewis in the alternate area day 1d when Hachem was at the featured table

and

2nd- On day 4 where Dmitri Nobles is at the featured table, Hachem doubles with an AQ vs 55. There's alot of commotion and I'm at the next table. I don't see the camera but I keep turning around because of the commotion. The camera is RIGHT on me due to the angle they were shooting Hachem.

I decided not to wear the Full Tilt gear. If I had, would I have gotten the 20k? Anyone who did that with FT know? I don't think they'd pay some dude just hanging on the rail, and my appearances are essentially that, but in both instances the cameras were right on me for a good 30 seconds.

Self caused bad beats shouldn't count.. ala limping with aces then pushing on the flop.

At the time I was thinking there was some slight edge to not looking like an internet donk.

Wow, really? This was honestly your reasoning? That's retarded.

a better reason would be not looking like a total [censored]-tard on national tv

A mix of that and I wanted to wear a long sleeved shirt because I thought it might be cold with the air pumping down on me. I hadn't made it down to the Rio to play yet and I hate being cold while playing.

Well by day 4, I'm fairly sure when I'm bluffing my neck goes crazy, so I had a polo on, I buttoned the top button, and went collar up to hide my neck. So regardless I looked like a total {censored}-tard on national TV.

Full Tilt doesnt have any long sleeve shirts or hoodies? I would have taken a jersey and worn it over whatever was comfortable.. a chance at an easy $20,000 is hard to pass up.

i doubt u would have gotten ne money, u would have only made it if u were playing on a featured table i think.

plus what if u make the final table and u can only max out at 20k? lol
