Cheeky Suggestion
We all know that TP is playing some really good online poker at pressent and I fancy him to win another big one soon, for some reason it works like this , when you are playing well the cards tend to come your way.
I suggest TP plays this weekends big PS tourny 15323030, I love this tourny and have played in it twice making the $ on both occasions, my problem is pushing on once in the money. Someone mentioned the Farmer and Fox situation and currently I am in that Farmer frame of mind. But TP is not, he is really playing well and going for that 1st place all the time. It would be great if he entered this tourny and gave us the oppertunity to back him, it would cost 10 of us £22 to back him and pay his entry, If he losses , so what its only $22 but I feel he could final table or eveen win it at this pressent time. I suggest this with an offer of 50percent of any winnings to him and 5percent to each of his 10 backers. What do you all think?? and more important what do you think TP?

Nevermind I found it the 500k guaranteed right? 200+15? It sounds like a good idea, but TP seems to have a large enough bankroll that he could just buy into this if he wanted too. The WSOP one was 200+15 as well, I think he is at the level that he probably doesn't need a backer for one of these tourneys.
I'm not TP though so it would be interesting to hear his thoughts, not like I have anymore to put towards it even if I wanted too though. Though from his point of view, its either a $200 +$15 500k tourny or a 250k free roll

I don't need the backing in tourneys of this size, no.... but that's not to say I wouldn't do it. I've sold 10% of myself to Penguin before, and I've bought 10% of Chip before....
Not only can backing be a good investment, but it's also fun... Good thing this forum was down and no one backed me today. CLOSE, but no Bahamas. Or Australia. Bah! |

When you sell someone part of your action, is that like them backing you, but in a cash game rather than a tournament?

I've never sold any of my self in a cash game, nor will I. Tourneys only.
Here's an example for you: I publically sold shares of myself when I was in Aruba a couple of months ago, right here on this forum. There weren't many takers, but there were a few. I may or may not do the same for the WSOP next summer. Right now, I'm leaning against it, but when the time comes, who knows? I probably will, but no more than 10 or 20% total. |
