Would you be willing to name your horses?
For example for the upcoming PokerStars WCOOP tournaments as well for all the big online tournaments.
I'm very interested to know this info since I'm planning to enter those events. Would you be willing to post also if you plan on buying the seat of somebody (donk?), who make it deep on one of these tourneys? Would you be willing to post if you're ghosting one of these tourneys? I'll be playing as sirio11, not being staked, not staking anyone, not ghosting, not buying seats from a different player, not multiaccounting and not virtual-multiaccounting (hiring someone to play while you're making all the decisions, even pressing the buttons on the computer, but of course having him to say he's the one playing and pressing). If somebody has insider info, could you please share with the community? I think it's only fair. David

Re: Would you be willing to name your horses?
Some horses won't want this public because they don't want others knowing about the financial situation. For some accepting a deal is kind of embarrassing.
Some backers wouldn't want this public because they are going to get hit up by a ton of randoms looking for deals.

I don't even share who my horse's are in the $1.10 sngs, so I doubt anyone staking players into $2-1000 buyins is going to want to either.

[/ QUOTE ] yes, there are still people out there who stake people for mtts, yet dont take over their mtts for them deep, and would try hard to bust their stake if they were placed @ same table. fwiw i will be staking players in the wcoop, and no, i will not be revealing the names of my stakes, unless they want to reveal themselves.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm sure you recognize the potential conflict of interest created when a staker and stakee play against each other, in the minds of both. The same exists for 2 stakees playing against each other, if they know that each is backed my the same staker. In a previous thread, I posted my reasons why I think staking of competitors and swapping should be banned: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...age=2&vc=1 http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...age=2&vc=1 In light of recent revelations in the online poker world, you can probably understand that some players would prefer not to take only the word of the vast armies of stakers/stakees out there that they will play no differently against each other as against anyone else. If this in fact the case, the only way to put people at ease would be to reveal the stakers and stakees, so that if and when they are playing at the same table, their play can be scrutinized. Since most top tournament pros are staked and known to be staked, there is no stigma attached to being known as being staked, so I can think of no legitimate reason why a stakee would be opposed to revelation. Moreover, I think everyone has an interest in knowing if a significant chunk of the field in any given tournament is staked by the same person/entity. Would anyone play a high-stakes cash game or SnG where 30% of the table was playing for the same backer? I sure wouldn't, even if I had no explicit reason to question the players' integrity.
