Re: Hiring people to play poker, setting up a company
[ QUOTE ]
If you were capable of playing poker for profit, would you do that for 10-20% of your potential? Your workers would use the free training you give them, work for just long enough to get their own equipment (or find a netcafe) and go play for their own money. Or they would just lose the money to someone they know... This is almost completely impossible as a business model.

Yeah I've thought about this. What if I had them sign a non-compete agreement before I trained them? Meaning all their profits from poker are legally mine and they're not allowed to play on their own account. Yes, it would be hard to enforce, but I also believe there are plenty of intelligent people in third world countries that need work, and would be willing to take their pay and be satisfied. As far as the other issue goes of dumping money to someone they know, I'd have to keep a close watch on usernames, change them often and keep them anonymous. No phone usage while you're playing, etc.
