Selling Pieces of Myself for Monte Carlo - Page 2

NoahSD · #11 03-10-2007, 12:31 PM

Jeez. Didn't realize there'd be such animosity towards this. Since MTTC never really has a full page's worth of active threads in the morning, I figured I'd get a few PMs and the thread would fall off the page when the nightly FT sweats threads came. Sorry for pissing you guys off.

Also, I guess I'm done trying to do this here, but I just wanna clarify that I'm not trying to rip anybody off. I had no idea what price to charge, so I asked a few people who've done this before and they all said something around $180 for 1%. I screwed around with a spread sheet a little bit and I agree.

Anyway, again I'm sorry for pissing you guys off.

No hate here, i just wasn't sure if it was allowed.

its a two way street. you want to reduce variance someone might want to buy a piece of someone who think think is a winning player. 150 seems a bit excessive if you dont have alot of experience playing deep big buy in live tourneys.

i dont see anything wrong with someone that has like 7k posts from this forum asking this forum if they want to buy some action.

There is nothing wrong with it, except that it's been established as a rule on 2+2 that no staking requests are allowed.

i'm aware of it; i still dont see the reason for hostility for this post/or a reason to lock/delete it. Noah asking isn't the same as JohnDoe123 asking for us to send him to Monte Carlo.

you are right ray, i did not mean to be mean. selling 1% of yourself for $180 is actually brilliant. just sell 100% of yourself and enjoy your nice vacation in monte carlo

Exit only: it should be the same though...granted i have NOTHING against Noah...infact i enjoy his posts...but the point is should some1 with 7k posts who breaks a rule be reprimanded the same as JohnDoe123 for breaks the same rule? Yes. a rule is a rule and a punishment for that rule SHOULD be universal..if one cannot enforce a rule such as this it will become complete anarchy..

granted Noah obviously didnt think this post would spark such a controversy...and i agree i DONT see the big thing about it...but whatever the punishment is for breaking the rule (i am not aware of the punishment, nor was i aware this was a rule) should be delivered...

Noah - I don't know you very well so forgive me if this is already well known.
But do you have a history of cashing in live, big-money events?

No, it isn't a requirement. Lots of internet players show up at live events and do quite well. And if people think your are that much +EV and are willing to pay the premium then more power to you.
Just curious.
