1st place for sure. Money only goes so far. And I'm terrible at heads-up so that would be quite the accomplishment. :p

I would have to go for the money. I can do a lot with 55k additional and glory is overrated IMO, it just produces a bunch of jackasses to criticize every move you make. If I did manage to win a score that big at this point it would be through sheer insane luck, and I wouldn't feel comfortable taking sponsorships.

I play for the entertainment and of course the cash otherwise it becomes an expensive form of entertainment. I think the bracelets just add to the fun but I'd rather have the cash.

No glory in poker. Even the winners are often losers. Gimmie that cash.

Would you rather win 2nd place in a large field Bracelet event for a total cash of $455,000 or would you rather win 1st place in a smaller Bracelet event for a total cash of $400,000 plus a bracelet?
I would take more cash any day. I could care less about a bracelet. I also could care less about the glory or whatever because when it comes down to it cash is king. I would easily make a deal for more cash for second.

This is kind of a interesting question. I originally took the money, but it is only 55k more. The money can go away but that bracelet is forever unless you pawn that thing. So i would definitely take 1st place. :p

Give me the cash! Then I will offer the first place guy $30,000 for his bracelet! So I get the bracelet and an extra $25K!

I'm with you here. My job is too good and I like it, I'm probably never quitting my job. $55,000 basically changes nothing about my quality of life. Maybe I can retire in 24 years instead of 25 years...that's about it....

Now, if I don't really have a career and I'm living on like $40k a year, then yeah $55,000 is a big deal!

bracelet.....I won't say it's priceless....but it fulfills a dream for me.

A little bit of both.

I simply love to play and consider it a challenge; a puzzle. How well can I out-think my opponents?

A bracelet would be nice. I don't care if it is in the smallest wsop event with the lowest payout...just winning a bracelet would be a great experience.

7-stud. A 7-stud bracelet would be awesome!

First of all I play because I like the game. Between cash and glory: well I rather prefer cash. But I won't mind to win a WSOP or a EPT or another big live tournament.

In any business Cash is King so I always choose cash over glory. But finishing 1st in a large tournament can give you a feeling which is hard to describe. On the other hand even when finishing at 2nd place and making huge cash, I still feel there is a little bit of pain for not being the 1st :))

I would skip the bracelet for that 55k and use them for a few trips around the world, not here for fame but for $$ :)

!st and the glory. I would lose one third of the 55 in taxes so it is really only 40k. The glory is worth 40k.

Since I dont wear any rings, bracelets etc... cos I dont like them, it's an easy choice for me: more money. :)

Ofcourse bracelet and money, bracelet is kinda proof that you accomplished something :) Money is just paper you spend on something.
