Plan to try this one just haven't had time yet. Sure would be a nice way to get to the WSOP.

Wow, this is great to know, thanks for the info!!! I believe it happin to a few last year, and one of the players after tax's of the seat and winning's in the game only made like $110...Im not shure about the winnings this is only hear say...but Im glad they have change this>>>

Just to be shure I understand you are you saying the site puts the money for the seat you won in your poker account at the site you won the seat?

Ive bubbled this year sofar on a seat and just haven't gotin around to trying any more qualifier's sense. been busy playing other games and tables...but I did try it at a site called PokerHost the first tourney was a freeroll that sent you to another tourney a $10. buyin if you choose to buy your way in with unlimited rebuys.. I only had to make one rebuy in this game, to make it to the final game, if you didn't win your seat to this tourney, you could buy your way in for $100. since then they change the way it worked, and allowed too many players to qualify to the 2nd and final tourney, so I just never tryed it again but it was fun.. I have no complaint's on the Player that won, his game was solid!!! I just wished I had more chips when it became heads up, he had like 200K to my 50K, I missed a few hands that would of really helped me prior to heads up, then when it was heads up I just went card dead.....I think I have a link to pic,I'll send it when I get some time...good lookin out on the info..Boy i could allmost taste it lol

found it !!!!

I think maybe I need to rephrase what I said about taxes. What I meant was if you don't play and get the cash, the tax situation is different. But you may still need to pay taxes at the end of the year. I know there is a new tax law that just went into effect for poker players.
