Staking

[Claw75]

When 'helping a fellow out' involves handing over cash, it's a nip.

Not in my eyes. Nipping would be "can someone lend me $22 - will send back asap".  The way I read it, the dude fancies a game of poker, doesn't have any funds to play with atm and came on looking to see if someone would ship him a relatively small amount of money with the possibility of a decent return (even if the figures he came up with weren't quite the norm).  I don't understand why the fact he said he was hoping someone could help him out amounts to nipping?

What the hell all this???   i would never back anyone to play just one  $22 180 man mtt like first asked for on here but if someone wants to play a good value mtt where i think its a weak field and where i know the pot going to be $30-$40k for a $20 stake i dont mind showing some love.

End of the day if he goes on to blink $5.5k now im a happy man

Clare he's basically implied its a veiled nip, which is what it is.

Why you say that??

[Hairydude]

Possibly right flushy- because of previous hand dynamics think he thought he could bully....
