whats this ? I'm blocked from commenting on any of skilfuls posts after the last time when i tried to warn people about him and his multi accounting. 

reading it again .........Mark has a serious point ....I knew that i would be unable to attend if i won  so i took no part in this competition whatsoever and left it open for those that could go to have a shot at winning. I'm not a greedy bastard looking to win prizes and then try and sell them .

Excuse me a second. I won the package. The first time I was unable to attend because I could not afford the flights so i sold the package as I was permitted to do this by BOM. The second time the expenses were 550 euros (for flights, passport, travel to and fro, and expenses out there). It was my prize. I decided to try to use the travel money to get enough money so i could go. Re Keith's comments yes you are banned from commenting on my posts, does it give you a hint about my opinion of your comments? Thirdly the day after i won the package and it was clear I was unable to fund my trip with the spending money I contacted Ranking Hero at 5am and informed them, so the remaining 1250 package could be given to someone else. I think that's actually fairly reasonable of me. I am sure there are many people that can  afford the flights at £200 which was the cost for a roundtrip when i checked yesterday, and can also fund theirselves while they are out there. I was perfectly entitled to try to get to malta like everyone else. I agree people sure did put alot of effort into the blogger missions and I was one of those people. I also beat everyone in the SNG, hence why I won the prize. Someone now will have the opportunity to go Malta where I can not, because I can not afford the flights, everyone ruined their own chances of going to Malta when they lost the competition, so i am not sure what you are talking about when you say 'i have ruined everyone's chances of going to Malta' that is a very lucky second shot someone has got, and you are whining because the flights are now not included? My financial situation is fluctuating and month to month the money I have available varies, I might have had ~ £200 around me now which is what I would have needed to make this happen, which is why i entered, it just so happens, unfortunately I do not. I am sure there are people that have more cash than I do and can actually fund part of the trip and still benefit from the package (which by the way is identical now to the first package that Ranking Hero awarded some months ago).

also @Rémi Rkh @Ina Rkh @Annie RKH this is outright abuse: -

If the package is worth 1550 where did the rest of the package go. 

I didnt ruin my chances with Malta by losing the sng I didnt get to play and Santo Abate seems to have had a problem registering as well, but thats not your fault and I am trying to sort that issue out seperately. There havent been any other comments on here about you winning the package and possibly selling it since my deleted posts.

surely if you where such a nice guy that you try and act to be you would have taken nothing from the package left it how it is and let someone else take it. You played a freeroll and had nothing invested so woud have been no loss to you. 

@Skilful  you arent named in that post and I think if @Keith was abusing you he would post his proof of what he says, which he hasnt done(maybe because he hasnt got it,but he has always seemed quite thourough and relentless to me when he has a problem with someone, so i am sure he can back up his statements).

On behalf of the RKH team, I can say we were disappointed to hear Skilful could not make it to Battle of Malta after all. Our partners from Betsson Group have kindly agreed to transfer the remaining package (hotel accommodation and Main Event buy-in minus €300 travel expenses) to the next in line. That is why we have turned to all four other finalists (@DecoGTX @Kat Arnsby @William Calder and Jonny2192) asking them if they would be willing to represent RKH in Battle of Malta under these changed conditions. We expect to hear from them  by 3pm UK time today. Confirmations will be treated by order of the final ranking on Monday 26 October. We hope we’ll soon have good news to share!

No hard feelings from me. We're all poker players, we're all looking for an edge.
I don't really understand exactly how they're going to decide who gets it, but if it's not me, then good luck to whoever it is.
I really hate aggro and bad feelings, and I don't think poor old Skilful deserves the tirade against him here. Advantage play is the poker player's virus, and if the rules didn't say he couldn't sell part/all of his package, then he's not done anything wrong in my book.

GL to all! xxx

@Kat Arnsby  it will go to the person highest in finishing position in the sng who says they can go.

And the new winner is??????? 

Know its not me cos I got kicked in last but I really want to know whos going.

Hi all,

@DecoGTX, 2nd in the Bloggers Tournament, seemed very motivated but couldn't make it at the last minute. Coming from Brazil, we understand how hard it must be.

So the next one in the ranking is @Kat Arnsby, who already answered in quite an enthusiastic way .

So good luck to her!

Please excuse us for the mess. Now that everything is solved, let's just hope to see a RKH patch on the Final Table.

And let's hope too for more packages and buy-in to win on RKH! 

Awesome, best of luck out their Kat! Will be following your progress!!

Congrats stand in winner, and at RKH seeing as it isnt a rule could it be a rule that a winner must attend the prize tournament or it gets passed on to next in line.

"The second time the expenses were 550 euros (for flights, passport, travel to and fro, and expenses out there). It was my prize. I decided to try to use the travel money to get enough money so i could go"

SO you took the travel money and gambled it to try and make more moneyand presumably lost it. Having lost the travel money , did you ask if you could sell the remainder of the package? 

under the conditions that remi rkh outlined, Decog was unable to go. There is no mention of whether that is because he cannot afford the full flight costs now the package has lost the travel money. If he could have gone with the travel money included , you have screwed Decogtx over by gambling away the travel money.

"And there has been nothing shambolic about the handling of this".    You put RKH in an impossible situation with the way that you acted gambling the travel money. Unfortunately  , i think that a fairer way to handle the package would have been to ask the other finalists who still would be able to go  without the travel money and then set up another freeroll for those players so that they could complete for the prize. This would then have mitigated the santo and Jonny situations who were prevented by no fault of their own from actually taking part in the final and could presumably have been set up on pretty short notice.

@Skilful  I DIDNT LOSE THE SNG. Ok just so you know other people have wanted to post balanced acoounts of past events and I told them not to because its not the right thing to do, but if you do it to someone else then my argument stands no ground.

simple question that you haven't answered Skilful. 

DID YOU ASK IF YOU COULD SELL THIS SECOND PACKAGE ?

was my question to hard to answer ?

I would like an answer to keiths question as well

anyone else remember where #skilfulsaidinthe100pointsmission thathefoundawalletandhandeditbackandgot2400pointsandwouldtakeeveryonetomalta.Inreality, henippeddownthecasinofirstandattemptedtodoublethemoneybystickingitallonblacksothathecouldhandthewalletbackandgetanicebonusoutofitforhimself.Itlandedonred,sohescuttledoffintoacorneranddenieditwasanythingtodowithhim.

Also I would definetly have made 3rd place if not kicked from mtt and been blinded out, Just a point to add dont want to take the seat from Kat, I think the thing is people would prefer to see these packages used by the winner and not sold, thats how I feel anyway.

As for what you did not being in the rules, well think on this.

Its not in the rules that you cant make 100 accounts, have 9 of them enter the game and have have all the others vote for the 9 people. Hence 9 people guaranteed to be in the sng, hence 1 person guaranteeing themselves the seat.

No its not in the rules that you cant do this, does that make it right, NO.

it worked that time .

Santo Abate read this thread, not sure it will help.

not sure why anyone will "like" any of skilfuls future competition entries 

Dear @Jonny2192 unfortunately we were eliminated without playing ... I have a proposal for Ranking Hero, sent three reporters in Malta, you give us the hotel and tournament fees and we pay the trip
