Brag: randomly staked a guy and won $96,600

[Rupert]

FT bonuses don't work for the fact that most of a backers equity comes when the staked player makes final table. Whilst a bonus would be generous of me, i'm a fk'in nit. That said, I will be very happy to back Hojo or buy %s off him again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

70/30 I feel was a reasonable deal for a marginal winner at $2 MTTs. In fact, it favoured him.

Rupert..I think you have conducted yourself well along with Hojo...

Anyway, well done to both of you !

oh wow, what would you have done if he didn't send any $ your way?

Cried and thrown up a little inside probably. Honestly would have Stars do anything they can do, which is nothing I understand, then i'd just out him on here. But props to Hojo, clearly a very stand up trustworthy guy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I dknow, transferring the 100k here really wouldn't bother me because I'd know without this guy I would have never gotten to play anyways.

Sick brag though OP, awesome story.

This was my thought as well. A deal is a deal anyways. Also just to clear things up, although I was a small time grinder, $2 was not my primary game, my stars account was basically busto'd and I was playing primarily at FTP under the name HojoMofo. Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

Hojo

i bet he was so gutted typing nearly 100k into the little box to transfer over to you

[salesbeast]

Wow..cool!

[gimmetheloot]

so baller.

[dying2win]

also, in before he goes busto

[bottomset]

seriously for someone who plays $2MTTs 40k has to be equiv to like 10-20 consecutive wins at least(1st in these can't get much bigger than 1-4k can it)

[Nymfh23]

Hojo a man of honour.

I wish you the best in the future. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
