Re: Brag: randomly staked a guy and won $96,600

Jimm, if this is your plan all along, why would you ever agree to the 70-30 stake in the first place? If you don't think its fair, you should be negotiating something that sounds fair to both parties. Rather than just saying "ya I'll split it 70-30" knowing full well that you plan on keeping all the winnings, except for the tournament fee.

I'm just saying that when you make the deal, you're not thinking you're going to final table, you're just hoping to cash at all, so it's all theoretical. You agree to the deal because really you don't think it's much of an issue, since you're not likely to win / come near the top. When you DO win / come near the top, you might feel a little regret. And that might influence your actions - even if it shouldn't.
Bit like going halves on a lottery ticket... you'll feel real sore when it comes in.
