... but I made it all back at the cash games... BS
This year I'm going to bust on all my friends and associates who continue to perpetuate the following lie:
"yeah, I dropped $10K (or $20K or $100K) on tournament entries at the WSOP and didn't place... but it's cool... I made it all back at the cash games" I'm asking all 2+2er's to drop the hammer on these chumps and call BS. I know for a fact that the cash games at the WSOP convention center do NOT have cash dispensing machines that pay-off all tournament failures. Please, let's ban together and not let that excuse stand as an out. If your friends, family members, or fellow poker players can't afford $5K to blow on a tournament entry without coming up with some BS excuse about winning it all back in the cash games... don't let them enter the tournament.

Re: ... but I made it all back at the cash games... BS
I was in line with some guy at the WPO in Tunica who was talking non-stop about his strategy to play 5 to 10 of the $100 or $200 satellites to try to win his way in and it was risk-free because making back $1k por so was super-easy at 10/20 limit. Like, an hour or two usually.
Hilarious. He was 1st or 2nd out in the single-table tourney I played with him on a hopeless idiot-bluff. He was terrible. why would you want to call people out on stuff like this? I think you would want to CONTINUE the idea that you can try to satellite in because it's so easy to just go make your money back on the cash-games and that any idiot can do it as long as they don't get super-unlucky or something. This helps both the satellites and the cash-games as best I can figure it. If people want to lie about how much they make back all the time on the cash-games then let them. They usually believe it themselves anyay and are just remembering the times they did well. Say that you are going to do that too. Go sit at the table with them.. Duh.

[/ QUOTE ] Bob, I agree with your sentiments regarding not educating the self-deluded. I frequently marvel at the illogical reasoning expressed by many players as reflected in the comments of your WPO acquaintance. If it's easy to make $1,000 every hour or two of live action, then play live action for 5 to 10 hours instead of playing in 5 or 10 satellites. That would be a guaranteed $5,000 to $10,000, wouldn't it, bozo?

Re: ... but I made it all back at the cash games... BS
I am also calling BS on 99 percent of the people near me who claim to have won the high hand jackpot down here. I play in Florida and the one casino has a progressive spades royal jackpot. At any random table I sit at at least three people claim to have won the jackpot (including one who will always claim they split the jackpot when the royal came out on the board) and one person will always claim they were in the bathroom/eating/smoking when the jackpot came out on the board so they would have split it.

Re: ... but I made it all back at the cash games... BS
I think it is very likely that a loose ass tourney donkey can get on a heater and win back his entry fees. Just remember, the losers aren't talking about their results, so you only hear about the few times it actually happened.
PS. It is most likely BS like the OP thinks. Edited to include the PS.

Re: ... but I made it all back at the cash games... BS
Well crap. My entire future career as a professional card player/janitor was dependent upon being about to sit down at any random game and make $1000/hour. You guys are saying this isn't a realistic plan?
Damnit! Back to the drawing board I guess...

Re: ... but I made it all back at the cash games... BS
Yeah damn it, I was gonna only play one month a year!
40*4.25*1000=... I suspect most known pros just have sponsorships and/or some take pieces of others all over the place to eeeeek out a living. I don't believe the $20,000 entry fee for Poker After Dark, and why is half in cash, it's so __________ (what's the word I am looking for?)
