Default Re: What % of major tourney players are backed by sheets/bax?

There are quite a few teams out there that swap %ages, The Hendon Mob and The Norsemen are two that comes to mind, typically 5 or 10%.

These are backed by poker-rooms, however I am not thinking swopping is good for the game, and even though these two teams probably are on the up and up, there are no doubt that there are cheating going on in the form of softplaying and chipdumping.

Anyone who think different are either doing it themselves or delusional.

There have also been rumours that Phil Ivey has been benefitting from his horses.
