FWIW I think bobneptune is being a big nitty jerk. Chill out dude.

WarDekar, check with your backer if it's ok that you play e.g. events below $500 on your own bankroll.

hello soulman,

thanks for the adult commentary in your first paragraph as it adds so much to the conversation.

that being said, did you even read the OP ??? to refresh your memory OP wrote:

"My backer and I can't figure out what to do."

unless i read with zero comprehension or the poster is poor formulating sentences, this means they HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS TOPIC AND DISAGREE. had the backer thought it was hunky-dory for OP to play mid level live tourneys without including him, there wouldn't be a need for this post, would there?

then OP went on to say if he didn't receive real cash immediately in his pocket, he couldn't give his best to a guy who he was into for 15k. that doesn't sound the least bit insane to you ?

OP then asked for opinions and i gave mine. if you do not agree with it, that's certainly fine.if that somehow makes me a "big nitty jerk" i really will have little difficulty living with it.

LOL at you saying people don't read! Clearly you don't read my posts!

My backer and I actually don't disagree in that he thinks I should be staked in these and I don't think I should, neither of us knows what a fair deal is since this wasn't discussed beforehand.

And you say that I don't have any motivation if I don't get cash in my pocket, that isn't the issue either. The issue is I wanted to be staked for large buy-ins, and now we aren't sure what to do with live play small buy-ins because I honestly feel that it would be a little unfair for me to play on my own since I would feel bad if I got a big score and he wasn't a part of it.

If anyone cares, we've discussed it some and are definitely going to clear up the terms which is a good idea, and FWIW "Nitty Jerk Bob" my backer actually said he was FINE with me playing these under my own roll, I was just hoping we could work out something that was as FAIR as possible for BOTH of us. EXCUSE ME if I'm a bad stakee.
