Re: What % of major tourney players are backed by sheets/bax?
shane,
I doubt it would be +EV to put players in specifically to dump chips. However, I think it would very +EV to have players in who might do some things differently against certain other players in various spots.
For a very simplified scenario, think of a big satellite. Someone w/ a lot of horses in that can easily help pull a few extra guys along.
This of course extends to many more complex tourney situations.
Given the level of cheating that occurs in poker, I would be shocked if this sort of stuff is not going on already.
