BACKERS....

[beeks]

This is probably the least known/discussed part of the poker world at least for me. I play alot of online poker and frequent the LA area cardrooms enough, but I seem to know so little about "backing" players. I would love to know about any insight (keep it real) that anyone has.

What big time players get backed?

What is a standard backing deal?

Who are these backers? How do you find them? Do they profit?

Can't you scam a backer by dumping in a cash game to a partner?
