Okay, time to get serious

I don't know about the rebuy. If I want to dedicate the whole 1k to that tourney, maybe. But, to leave myself with only $500 to play in that is pretty weak. I'm not opposed to putting me own money in, so I'm considering it. Wish I wasn't constrained by time, but I have an interview Thursday afternoon and a show to see that night.

Also, what are usually the terms of a backing agreement like this? Return his stake and then split the profits 50/50?

Play in the Wynn tourney and poay in the $500 tourney at the Belaggio. You'll be a bit short with the $1k, but close enough. Maybe he'll pony up the difference if you spell it out for him. Otherwise, just chip in the extra yourself.

And yes, typical terms would be that you pay him back his $1k first and then split what's left 50/50. Whatever you decide, MAKE SURE you are both clear about the arrangement before you leave.

I'm 99% sure I won't be in and settled in enough time to hit that Wednesday $500 tourney. Too bad it wasn't on Friday instead of that 1k tourney. I'm tempted to just play the 1k tourney on Friday at the Bellagio w/ the whole thing.
