Free trip to a prestigious tournament

[19aleks57]

Let's say there's a prestigious poker tournament with a $1,000,000 prize pool 500 miles from your home and you've received an invitation that you can participate in the tournament for free if you travel only by bicycle and take exactly one calendar month. Per diem is paid. What do you do?

I have been in such tournaments when pokerstars was at its peak. If I remember well, CardsChat had tournaments where tickets could be won for such big tournies. Huge turnaments with tens of thusands of players. But these tournaments are full of sharks and pros and there is little chance to cash big, so I would just skip it.

That was my first thought as well, though any motorbike would do.

500 miles on a bike for 1 month with per diem & ticket to $1M? Its 80 minutes of 20kph biking exercise per day & lots of time sightseeing or playing online. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I would say "Thanks, but no thanks".

Great, so you already have a bicycle for when you get knocked out of the tournament so you can bike home too

I love bicycle riding. I'd take the deal for sure.

Hi
I would definitely go. It's worth it. I love cycling, although I don't actually ride very often due to lack of time. But I would be ready for such a cycling trip, especially since the final stop is quite promising
Good luck

About 2 hours of bike riding each day for a month. I think the ride there would be way more fun thinking of potential $$$ signs than the sad ride back home with empty pockets.

Funny question, haha! Yeah, I’d totally do it. I love biking, so 500 miles isn’t a big deal for me. Give me a couple of days, and I’ll be there!

To get to such a tournament, I need to miraculously pass a lot of checkpoints by bike, and 99.9% of the time I'll get to a completely different tournament where they give out machine-gun bursts rather than cards...

Wish I wasn't an Octogenarian and could ride a bike...lol
