Default Re: Staking/Make-up question: What to do with lower prize-pools?

Yeah, pretty confusing there.

If your backer is going to back you and continue doing so, you have to play no matter what the prize pool is really. You can't get out of make up by NOT playing. I think you saying 'getting 5th and nothing out of it' is just ridiculous. Be happy you're being backed and would be able to pay your make-up with a FT and/or 5th place finish. That's just a foolish comment IMO.

And obviously if you're playing $300-$1K circuit events and are in a pretty big make-up situation, jumping $10K events and praying won't help anything. Moving up levels like that almost never does, unless you're Jamie Gold or Yang.
