1.) Agree to deal terms. 2.) Person taking money sits out. 3.) Person taking seat raises to steal blinds until person taking money is all in with either blind. 4.) Win seat or go to step 2
there's a quicker way to do this. have the guy who made the deal for seat raise it up to all but 1 chip and ask opponent to fold. then he can ship in the 1 chip(s) next couple hands.
yeah your comments make perfect sense now: bayne_s (Observer): ship just hits sit out bayne_s (Observer): sell transfers after winunfortunately for my dumb arse, i too worried about the time elapsing to pay attention to observer chat.
i do appreciate your help; wish i had been thinking and actually understood why i would need to be the winner.
it didn't occur to me that Al wouldn't be able to just transfer the seat...but after the heat of the moment, i completely understand why FTP would never allow that. actually, i think it is great that they don't. security FTW.
it's unfortunate for me (but not for other seat winners!) but i bet i don't make that mistake again!
thanks for trying to keep me from doing something dumb! appreciate your help!

ReplyDeleteSmokkee,
ReplyDeleteWhile that is much quicker it does leave open the possibility of trickery and deception when dealing with random and unfamiliar opponents
Smokkee,
ReplyDeleteThat is advanced approach and obviously quicker.
People experienced with reaching heads up can utilize but I don't think shipfaced and sellthekids were ready for such an advanced concept last night.
There was a seat sale?
ReplyDeleteWTF is that allowed in the BBT?
;)
umm, anyway you can Back To The Future this post and let me read it on Wednesday?
ReplyDelete;-)
but, lesson learned!
sell.
ReplyDeletetake a look at chat log last night from moments before you started pushing
ummm....Wow!! Wow!! Not sure what else to say.
ReplyDeletethe way i've seen it done in the past, is one player xfers half the pmt up front in good faith then xfers the rest after the chips are dumped.
