zimmer4141 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The local Indian Casino here in Michigan is having a $200 buy in poker tournament next Friday. My friend is 18, and is a good player, but is in the process of building a bankroll and does not have enough to buy in. I am thinking about staking him, and making a deal where if he cashes, I get my $200 back, then we split whatever is left. Do you guys think this is a good idea? Link to post Share on other sites

The ones I play in around here you start w/ 1500 in tournament chips and blinds at 25/50 and they double every 20 minutes... Crapshoot anyone? You need to win like... 3 50/50's in order to make a run at the final table. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 How does one determine that a player is good if they can't put together $200 to play in a tournament? Playing online for .25/.50 isn't the same as playing in a $200 tournament, no way I would let anyone play with my $$$.I'm just saying... Link to post Share on other sites
tobytobey 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Is 18 old enough? If not, you may want to work out what's going to happen if he gets caught and tossed out of the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites
rsmbox 1 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 the Indian Casinos around here are all 18 and up...don't know if that's everywhere though Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 No, 18 is definitely old enough. The whole casino is 18+. I considered getting a fake ID and trying to play, but I know that if I won any significant amount, they would go over it with a fine toothed comb. Link to post Share on other sites

He left the casino. Link to post Share on other sites
