Wasn't quite sure whether to post but am unusually unsure about something.
An acquaintance of mine feels the need to give me a 'thank you'.
His thank you to me is paying me in to a £150 tournament this weekend. The only wrinkle is he wants 50% of any cashes. After calling him a few names I decided that maybe I was being churlish.
I thought the best bet was to seek other opinions, should I just say thanks or try to negotiate a better deal ?
Cheers

its a great present, but if you was going to play it anyway and think you have a bigger edge on field that the mark up on this stake then you could tell him sorry its not worth your effort

This is what I'm thinking Iron and what's led to my slight bewilderment - if I had less of an edge and I wasn't minted I'd just insta thank, although only an acquaintance he knows I'm minted to |

He feels the need to say thankyou, for whatever reason.
He offers you £150 to play in a tournament. Either accept or decline the whole thing.
Trying to strike a better deal is like saying, i accept your thanks, but feel you should thank me more!!

tbf, this is why I'm feeling shoddy, I don't need any thanks at all but since they're being given I now feel I want it all even though I know yr right |

meh - if you were gonna play it anyway just say it's fine and there's no need to thank you etc
unless you've already accepted, in which case I'd probs just roll with it.
and what Greeky said.
