Yeah I might. For someone who plays a high volume of MTT's I'm just super-aware of the level of variance. I think of poker MTT's like betting units. It's so hard for me to put up like 25 units on one MTT when there is a 70%+ chance I won't cash no matter how well I play.

We've discussed this on here before. The games at lower buy in are SO much easier to beat consistently, not to mention the ability of my bankroll to absorb big variance swings.

You wanna back me? :)

If you really wanted to do it you could do something for the next one.

Tournament is $500 +$40 ($540)

You could sell (18) - shares for $30 each and figure this out. Keep 2 shares yourself with no investment and start with 20 shares total or something.

I would be in for a couple if you bought shares so I knew you had skin in the game.

Who is the guy? Defying or Harry in their relationship? Who will propose first? Are they waiting for the Tannehill led Dolphins to get to the SB first?

Yeah if I did something like this I'd likely keep 25% or even up to half. Standard is to have some kind of markup on it, 10 or 20%. So 10% shares would be like 60 or so.


Maybe next time as it has already started today.

I'll start a thread next time :toast:

How would you settleup? That would be a nightmare with PP and likely draw a flag

I don't think it would draw any flags. I hold money for a lot of contests here and have done lots of transferring back and forth without any issues (knock on wood).

Another option would be a 5dimes transfer.

Unless I final tabled and ended up having 100k I needed to figure out how to transfer out. But that would fall into the "good problem" category.

Yeah they're inconsistent with that. Seems to be no rhyme or reason when they give people trouble.

From what I've seen random amounts tend to slide by just fine but when it is the same number over and over all at once, they flag that as some type of gambling pool or contest.

Last year I did the NFL survivor pool through ppal. Took in 40 transfers of exactly $50 each and then paid out 2k. Didn't get any shit.

I used to do a fantasy league that was like $100 to join and I got shit from them before switching to league safe.

The RX league I think has had complications with PP in the past too but maybe they just DGAF anymore.

I would back hc regardless but my $0.02 is that markup should only come into play for someone who is proven to win at similar tournaments. (i.e. not a good $10 MTT marking up a $500 MTT)

Fair enough. I feel like there should always be a markup. I mean if the buy in is 540 and you and I each put up 270 and I play the entire 15 hour tournament and then cash big, we deserve to split 50/50?

I just always feel like the person who is doing the heavy lifting (i.e. playing) deserves a little bit bigger of a cut, which is all the markup is designed to do.

Now, should a proven player be able to demand a HIGHER markup? Absolutely.

It's obvious to all of the posters that you poked a hole in the girl and she deflated.
You were supposed to post pics and couldn't deliver,another reason you can't keep a woman.Or man, whatever

2.5k views on this thread. Apparently the world wants to know.

Either that or Defying has been sitting in this thread hitting refresh waiting for an answer from me. He comes off kinda desperate sometimes.
