    Sell yourself.......


    What would I get for my money?

    How committed are you to the tourny?

    What does it mean to you?

    How likely am I to get a return on my investment?

    What would I get for my money?


    1:1 so if you take 10% and i win £100 you get £10.

    How committed are you to the tourny?


    Very much so. Out to win as always.


    What does it mean to you?


    I've always put effort to every tournament i enter, i take pride in winning them, and with a decent record too. I want to be playing with bigger and better players, so SPTs are a great way i can prove i can.


    How likely am I to get a return on my investment?


    FT'd and cashed in 2 out of 3 tournaments in Leeds. Made a basic error in the main event which i have learnt from. 100% effort will be going into getting the highest possible finnish. I also have faith in my own ability as a player, i put vast amounts of time into my game. Always learning and looking to learn.

    Ok, impressed so far.

    How drunk are you likely to be whilst playing the tournament, and how do you think this will effect your game?

    Only joking, I'll have a punt for 10%.

    no probs mate. i may sell another 20% if i really need to. Also Jock and Pod havent confirmed as of yet. Jock im pretty certain he wants to as hes expessed strong interest.

    Ill keep you in mind.

    Would be good to see you in Cardiff. Yeah hes a good player at same time. All the times ive played with him, and i watched him when he qualified, ive not seen him make a mistake yet. One questionable desision but still i think it was the right one given stacks
  • edited May 2011
    Yep I'm there mate

    10% if that's OK

    Well done

    Just goes to show what a better class of people the HitSquad are compared to the HiViz vest wearers. They won't stake their own, but the HitSquad just see a fellow poker player in need and can look past the day glo!!!!!

    HI Don,

    I'm new as you know, but in terms of actual cash what does staking you mean and how does it work?
    If this is a question I shouldn't ask just say so!

    Staking it basically means theu give me a % of the buy in of the tourny. and depending on the deal they get a % back of any winnings.

    as ive agreed a 1:1 deal here if they buy 10% any winnings i get they get 10% of back.

    So its like a gamble.

    Very easy.

    In this instance people are gonna pay Don 10pc of the BI to get 10pc of his action. 

    So in this instance the BI is £110 they will pay £11 for that action and if Don cashes/comes first then Don will ship them back 10pc of the prize money.  If Don doesnt cash then obv they have nothing.  Its very common in poker and is used to combat variance.

    Other times people will simply swap action, so if me and Don were in the same SPT and decided to swap 10pc then if either of us cashed then we would still get some money. 

    A full staking deal is a little more complex and ususally means that a backer will pay the full buy in for the event, you play and if you cash then the money is usually 60/40 in the backers favour.
