how do pros on sites get paid

[scorer]

The word ive gotten is that certain full tilt pros get paid with high rakeback from the site on games they play. Ive heard that fulltilt pros, certain ones get 70 or 80 percent rb on the hands they play. Im sure this is different on other sites does anybody have any numbers or idea?? Who is gandi9 and ram vaswani on full tilt..anybody

I always thought it was part of their deal.

ie phil ivey gets paid X amount to do sponsorship for full tilt and play y amount hours/wk.

its quite likely they get really high rakeback too.

i'm pretty sure gandi9 on FTP is the same gandi9 from UB and stars, if so he's no big name pro, just a regular young guy playing high stakes online

I'm be very surprised if the pros ONLY got rakeback, i would guess lots of them get equity in the company even.

[/ QUOTE ]yea i think the big players. but i dont think guys like stu patterson, mark vos, and some of the smaller guys from FTP get equity.

im pretty sure ivey, lederer, harmon etc. get equity

I think Howard has something close to 50% of the company.
