Re: Fossilman continues to get respect
Just for the record.
When I moved to CT in 1998, I generally played 20-40 holdem and tournaments. I started winning good money in the tourneys right away, and moved up a bit, but there wasn't often a game above 20-40 other than the big mixed game, which was anything from 75-150 to 150-300. I played in that game when it looked good. I once did play in it when it was 300-600, even though doing so was a huge fraction of my bankroll. Fortunately, I won 12K that session.
In 2002 I took a big hit to my bankroll at the WSOP, and that is when I took on backers. I did so in order to continue playing in the big mixed game, and to be able to afford 10K buyin events at the WSOP and Foxwoods. In a 1.5 year period, the backers made about 20% on their investment. Then, with the WSOP win, they made about 7000%.
