I'm in.

I just did two pieces of bread in a minute five seconds. Way too easy.

only my 15th S&G today, lol. Been playing pretty much straight since I woke up at 12:30.

So, do you hate money or do you just like losing?U wouldn't want to test your skills against one of the best in the world? I think it would be a nice way to kill a Thursday evening. Probably won't happen though. I'm not even getting playable cards right now.

kinda early. $100 S&G on Stars if anybody wants to be a railbird. I'd love to get down to heads up with this guy. Isn't he considered one of the best online players around? My name on there is stratknight as well.

clause a) I do hereby acknowledge that as a direct result of this agreement, our friendship will ultimately be terminated.I don't think so. He's insanely rich, and considers it an investment. He understands all the angles.Uhh. Insanely rich people dont usually see card gambling as a form of investment.Insanely rich people play high limits as a hobby, or just to say "i play 100/200" etc...Usually the only gamble these insanely rich people take with their money is one that will show huge profit over short spans. or Enormous profit over long spans.If i was a millionair, i would invest money

Yeah, I'm there right now. Just woke up and wanted to start off small before I head out to the gym.

I definitely agree with this in the big picture sense. Though I would say it might not be a bad idea (if you decide to go ahead against all the advice you've heard here) for you to take a stake from your friend for a 15-30 game and see how that goes. If everyone is happy with the arrangement and you're performing up to yours and his standards, then you can talk about expanding his investment to bump you up to a 30-60 game.This accomplishes a couple of things -- first, it minimizes financial risk during a "feeling out" period. Second, it allows you to test yourself in bigger games before making

Thank God, finally a response with some merit. It's not so much a contract, just more of a guideline on how things are going to be run. I graduated college in May of 04, but haven't really found a job I cared for. So I've made my ends by playing poker for the past year and a half. We're both pretty laid back people, so in a worst case scenario, I still think we're fine. He's a businessman, and understands the risk. We see an opportunity to do business together, and we're gonna take a chance and see how it goes.

I don't have to play at his house, but he has a sweet office I can use.

A wealthy friend of mine has followed my game for the past 5 years. A few nights ago, he watched me run well at his house playing 5/10 limit on Stars. We got to talking, and he wants to stake me. He wants me to draw out a plan, and we'll go from there. It needs to include an hourly wage, a percentage of the winnings, and possibly incentives for reaching certain goals per day, per week, etc. It's looking like I'll be playing 5 hours a day, M-F at his house. If anybody has any experience with what my proposal should look like, it'd be a great help. I have a few things in mind, but wanted

I was already half invested, plus a little frustration. We had been playing for an hour and fifteen minutes and this was the best thing I had seen. I'm not talking about my preflop play. I want to know if you would've pushed all in knowing you're behind, being close to pot committed.

$100 buy in freeze out. 10 players, $600/$300/$100. Start with 1000 in chips, blinds 10/20, go up every 15 minutes. I've only played with about 5 of the guys, sandwiched between 3 guys I've never played with. So I'm sitting around feeling out the table, haven't had a thing to play with, lost a small pot here or there, have about 850 in chips. Blinds go up to 50/100, I'm in the big blind and look down at QJ. Best hand I've seen all night. One guy is all in blind for his last 10 in chips (just lost a KK to AA hand right before). This generally tight player makes it 200 to go. I look at

posted on this board about Gus Hansen. That would be my guess, but that's all it is, a guess.
