i'm not sure i've ever even looked at an account that didnt have at least a couple hundred mtt's played..i think if you played 2 or 300 tourneys, and put together a nice roi and, or a good itm %, someone would be willing to take a risk..

-did you check out the requirements on that mtt backing dot com link?

Yes. Solid player. Very good year in 2008 on the tourney circuit. WSOP and WPT final tables. I think the variance of plo cash is kicking his arse atm.

no, that would explain why he's talking about playing a big session online tonight..b/c i know we are both a little on the burned out side.. tell me..and what about his "external forces" when he enters deep parts of the tounrey..are you ok with those during the bet?


LOL, he needs to play some sessions to catch up! Its just a standard p5's tlp point bet. Winner gets dinner for him and her.

But the bet was suppose to be this: The loser has to wear the others colors at our football game this fall. And not just a t-shirt or a hat, instead completely decked out head to toe. Could you imagine that tiltmonkey with red khakis, white button up and tie! LOL He was scared though and wouldnt agree to it. LOL

Yea will do. I usually go with her to atleast 1 game, sometimes 2. But I havent even looked at this years schedule to see what we are going to do. She of course goes to all the games and this year I will be making most if not all our home games as well.

You should come up for our game and we can all get rooms in tunica?

The tournament I won at the end of 07 Costner final tabled. I guess it was his kick start to a nice run.

About how high of a roi or itm % is worthy of staking?

The 1st numbers they are going to look at is volume and average buy in. Then they will look at itm and roi%. Obviously itm and roi will depend on your average buy in. They will look to see if your roi is fueled by 1 big cash or if your consistent. But to answer your question, disregarding abi and volume, a good itm % is between 12-20% with the average probabably being 17-18%. ROI can vary so much, buy my guess would be about 50% roi is average for the top players.

If your looking to get backed, my suggestion would be to check out this site: LINK The site itself is pretty confusing, it will take you several hours to figure out exactly what is going on but this is your best bet.
