tsalagi 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 OK, so I set up two accounts on PrimaPoker. One for me, one for my wife. My wife has never used the account and doesn't really care about poker. I was hoping she would learn. Anyway, my account was low on funds, so I used her ID to play in a $30 WPT Bay 101 Satellite Tourney.Good news...I won. Beat everyone and got a $600 seat to the WPT Satellite.Bad News!Yeah you guessed it! If I win a seat (1 in 20) in the next round, I won't be able to actually play at Bay 101. It HAS to be my wife (see Prima's rules on their site). Winning seats cannot be transfered to anyone.Talk about dead money... She doesn;t even know the ranking of the hands... :cry: Ahhhh...the kharma gods have found me delivered their lesson...Well, wish me luck. If I win I'm sending my wife to the Antonio Esfandiari and Lee Jones poker camp and pay extra for private lessons.... :-) Link to post Share on other sites

tsalagi 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 My wife just came up with an answer to our problem. Don't know if I like it or not?She suggested that if "we" win, I show up in drag at Bay 101 and play.I know Phil Gordon played there once in drag (see his book Real Deal)I don't know, I wear a full beard. Think anyone will notice? Link to post Share on other sites
allinbluff35 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 unless the tournament is Halloween, NO. Start teaching the wife the basics. Link to post Share on other sites
StonedViper 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Does the big tourney just pay tourney seats?If you get to the last table and say the first 4 win spots in the big tournament and the others pay some cash just dump and at least get some cash.Just an idea.

Markmadness 0 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I myself use my sisters account. She signs the checks to me. I find using a female name and Party Poker graphic, has been beneficial to me the majority of the time. If i have the best possible hand i find it is hard for some men to fold to a woman. However, it limits bluffing. Link to post Share on other sites

Mandelbrot 0 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Have her follow the Sklansky system -- raise all-in pre-flop on premium hands if there are no raisers before you. Otherwise, fold. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
