Re: Players having pieces of others in cash games
[ QUOTE ]
It's a 10 handed cash game where one of the players sometimes has a piece of some of the other players. The number of staked players and the size of the piece varies. It may be up to 3 players and the amount is between 25-50%.
We've been discussing whether or not it's -EV to play in this game

4 vs 1? and the 4 are softplaying against each other? You can't win this game.
-EV for you +EV for the backer.
He has built in protection, he has built in equity with every confrontation, If one of the 4 takes your money, he wins it back from them. How can he lose, unless he and the others are horrible, and that's not likely since he's backing them and he's there to make sure that they don't play poorly. I think you already knew this and that's why your asking. IMO you should Run from that game!
