Hey guys. I play on stars a lot now "52 0uts" and have noticed that many people
play the $215 no limit holdem tournaments every sunday. A lot of people have
told me that they are backed in these events. I play usually $11-$22 buy-in
events, and do pretty well. I was wondering if being backed in these things
would be worth it, and I'm looking for a backer in these events. I'm interested
in hearing any offers/lack thereof. Email: rforgo219@yahoo.com Aim: sausnock14. Thanks
guys. Here are some of the results of my tournaments, however one of my finishes
isn't represented because Headsup Multi's arent considered MTT events.

I dont really even understand how backing works, I was just wondering if it would be worth it to even try getting a backer....

Why is everyone so arrogant, can you read?
It clearly asks... Is backing WORTH it?

That's quite a sum for an online tourny, but if you can't afford it, or win your ticket in one of the very soft satellites, what can you offer a backer?

Is it worth it too you or the backer?

The question is so open-ended it is beyond answering.

Who do you think would win in a fight? Mr. Miyagi or Colt Seaver from the Fall Guy?

Ill try and give u a serious answer.

Yes, Backing can be worth it, if you don't want to pay the whole buyin. The problem is, the stars tourny is not the expensive to begin with, and there are some very soft sattelites to get in. If this were a wsop event u could be taken seriously if:

You can show people that they are making a good investment in you. On 2+2 that starts with having more than 10 posts or moneying in more than 7 10$ buyins.

I bet it would suck to come home to about 40 e-mails from people that just wanted to let you know they weren't interested in backing you.
