Default Re: Why sell %?

Is there any fear of collusion? When I can profit when certain others at my table do well, it opens up the possibility of collusion.

A group of UK pros known as the Hendon Mob (Ross Boatman, Barney Boatman, Joe Beevers and Ram Vaswani) have an agreement like this (I think they share 5% of their winnings). However, having seen them competing against each other, it is clear that there is no soft playing going on - the competitive edge is too strong in these guys. I'm sure that most professional players operating these types of deals are the same.

In any event it would be impossible to enforce a rule of this type as the majority of agreements are presumably private.
