Sklansky hurting?

[nycballer]

Gave a speech in exchange for a STAKE in the 50k horse and main event

Why would that mean he's hurting? What sort of speech was this, some hour long thing for some college somewhere? Who wouldn't make that trade, rich or not.

[nycballer]

cause a, he needs a stake in the first place and b, he gave a speech just for the oppurtunity to be staked not in exchange for any compensation

A speech for 50k is pretty good hourly.

I cant think of a single professional player in the world who wouldn't give a speech in exchange for a 50k stake in the HORSE event.

Can you really imagine David asking himself "I could pull 50k out of my pocket or spend 2 hours giving a speech, I better pay for the entry on my own so nobody finds out". Thats a ridiculous thing to assume, David knows a +EV situation when he sees it.

Guys, you're all missing the point, nobody gave DS 50k for a speech, the op is that he was given a stake for a speech. Which is fine by the way, who wouldn't give a speech in order to freeroll in a big horse tournament? I'm assuming the percentage of the win david gets to keep is enough so that this proposition is well into +EV for him.
