So, I recently read where someone won a seat to the 2010 wsop ME & opted to take the monies instead (not a NLH player & sees it as a +EV decision) which got me to thinking >>> if this happened to/for you...what would you do -- play or take the monie$? Why?
i would definitely cash it in, that 10kUSD is pretty sweet. turboboost your bankroll for the next level or for smaller buy in events in your region. for me, aussie millions.
If I won the seat in a satty.... for sure I'd play it (I don't think I'd be playing the satty for it in the first place if I didn't have intentions of playing it).
Couldn't justify playing it if I won it. Too many other things I could do with the money. Like that cruise my wife has been bugging me about. Or a new bike.
Unless I'd won enough recently that it was within my bankroll. Then sure.
I mean it would be fun for an adventure, but I would cash out, and then if I changed my mind later, I could always buy in. But then again, it could work the other way as well.
