Cashing without playing

Because i took part in a chess event, i missed my Share and Win freeroll (if i remember correctly the name of this mtt) - but obviously cashed and got the congrats email:

Dear Daniel72ko,

You finished the tournament in 279th place. A USD 0.40 award has been credited to your Real Money account.




Congratulations!

Thank you for participating.

my biggest auto-cash in a tourney i didn't turn up for is also < $100. I agree that's somewhat of a fail.

One of those every minute and that's a fucking awesome income for doing jack shit.

Starts me thinking of others who get awesome incomes for doing jack shit.
Perhaps we should start a thread or pole on it.

Do people still get these congrats emails?

I cherished the first few, but it soon became annoying. (Not bragging, just playing a lot of HU).
I also thought it would be more useful to have non cash emails to balance it and to see how the damage was caused on certain nights.

Yeah, i always get those E-Mails, have thousands now in my mailbox LOL. I think there is an option in the main lobby for ON/OFF.
I find these emails also useful for tracking results, if i play some stakes or something.

That's the problem I found, that they didn't help track results because the other half of the information needed for tracking was missing.
And I wasn't remembering everything I'd played and not cashed.
And of course there are much better ways to track results anyway.

Not bad, cant complain about free $ :D

A friend of mine cashed over 400€ in this event when he was away (and almost blinded out, like 10% stack remaining) : http://pokerfuse.com/news/poker-room...urnament-flop/

I played it and got 600€ with over average stack. There's a lot of reasons why our gambling monopoly haven't got really any players to ther site :D

On a sidenote, I cashed without playing any hands (fold them all) yesterday PLO 6 card mini-FTOPS. Got 3,3bb left, over half starting stack! Nice event.
