sadly it was all to no avail, no badbeat stories tho, not good enough on the day :-(

win seat then worry. Not about what to do with the package, but about whether to pay my $1k ransom so i dont informt he site that your ghosting the account

I will be also looking for $1k

Really? Oh damm just bust with AA vs KK allin pre how ul is that! ;-)) Oh, it hasnt started yet, that was in the binkfest lol

Gl in that, btw what is the satellite for ?

tyty, it's for the Aussie Millions where the chap I am standing in for has a daughter and heads there in Jan anyway - either way he'll be sunning it up down under the lucky so and so ;-))

Wow Sunday already! Our arrangement has been modified to the following - $2k plus a 70/30 chop in his favour of any main event returns. All I need to do is bink this (at present 15 runner) satellite for a $2k bankroll boost!

All comments appreciated and acknowledged.

The more I dwell upon the matter, the more I feel that my impulsive proposal to this chap clearly requires a little more thought. I do know that whatever happens, I will play on his behalf, as he is aware of my track record which speaks for itself. I also know that he will be in the vacinity regardless, whether qualifying for the event or not, which may have been incidental in suggesting a sharing of any value over and above the event buyin.

I know he's happy as is, but viewing the general concensus has certainly prompted me to revise things prior to the satellite this coming Sunday. I would rather be shortchanged than be shortchanging, if that's even an appropriate analogy!

Hello Everyone

I have been asked to play in a super satellite ($500+$25) on behalf of an acquaintance who is unavailable to play himself. The prize will be entry to a major poker event with a package value of $17,500. I have simply agreed stating that should I be successful, we should split any and all proceeds on a 50/50 basis, that is 50% of the expenses portion of the package(equal to 50% of $17.5k minus event buyin), plus 50% of any winnings that this person may go on to receive in the major tournament itself.

The person in question and I have never been in this situation before, and I would never wish to be unreasonable or take unfair advantage. Does this appear to be the case? Is the arrangement I have illustrated unreasonable? What is 'the norm' for this kind of situation? Advice / opinions appreciated.

108 - not great but if time is used in score calculation then I lost a minute or two when the postie rang the doorbell!

Hey Bainn not too bad my friend - heard you're email mentioned on 846 last night - cor blimey guv is there anyone who doesnt know you!? 

Regards to Harmony too!

just played my first sky poker tonight
and prob wont play again. absolute crapshoot filled wiv awful players that think ace rag suited is a good hand
(im steaming at mo) lolol

Me too - just joined and played - Jesus what a fishfest, which led to my downfall with  just as I pat myself on the back for making a great call for my stack against Paul2161 on a  board and he shows  he catches the  on the river. Will I play this donkament again? Maybe - I just want these Mansion satellites to finish so I can focus on my 3rd $100k win 

Really Bainn? You've net heard of Tom Jones? I guess it's not unusual 

Hehe - I did wonder if that Welsh comment would be noticed - I thought it had to be directed at Dewi, as it couldn't have been Anne Robinson or Tom Jones, and those are the only things Wales is famous for 

Hello to Dewi, redimp, madasahatstand, Eck + thetank - thanks for the warm welcome 

Bainn - we met at the Scottish APAT along with his lovely assistant Harmony! See you soon peeps!

Most kind - thanks very much! I have glanced at the site once or twice though not thought about entering the forum as I have never really taken to forums, although I have recently started to frequent the one in which I met Bainn - so if anyone ever thinks oh my god who is this trash-posting muppet, thank Bainn for the introduction to the Blondepoker Forum
