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

As cbloom said, I've heard these stories in my gossip trip to vegas, about Men's team. I've heard a more specific story, which was about Ivey's horses and the full tilt pros in the 50k WSOP HORSE tournament.

From what I've heard, Ivey and certain other key players for the team got the horses to dump chips at them in critical times, especially during the bubbles. Ivey was very shortstacked a number of times on the bubble, but recovered quickly.

Obviously I did not hear that directly from the player who complained, so I can't assure it happen.

If you're going to level an accusation/rumor like this against Ivey, please have stories, action from suspicious hands, or at least a source willing to go on record. As it is to The Camel, the idea of Ivey arranging for chips to be dumped, and in such an obvious way as to bring outside attention to it, seems basically implausible to me.

Why, Shane? I'm saying what I was told. I didn't make this up, perhaps someone else did, but I'm just repeating it. You can easily search the players who cashed and add that up with my location to figure out who I'm talking about.

The guy who told me that story (about the specific player being pissed at Ivey and his horses) did not say it was an organized game plan or anything, just that it became obvious on the bubble that they are def soft playing him.

Right? Wrong? [censored]? Dunno.

BTW, that pro is also backed by a guy who runs multiply horses in big tournaments. Again, should be easy to guess who the backer is too.
