What do you think is fair???
My roommate signed on for the Party 30 + 3. 500 Entrants. Top 60 pay. He has dinner reservations with his girl, so with 74 people left he tells me to take over. Average chip count is 7K, and he leaves me with 14K to work with. First place is 3600.00. Well, I gave it a good run and finished 4th for him. $975.00. He gave me $250.00. Is this fair? I mean, the late tourney play is the hard part! Did I get shafted? I feel like the short end of a final table chop.
On another positive note, I satellited into the WSOP ME tournament on Sunday on Absolute. Hopefully they get enough entrants to give away a seat. If not, it'll just be a good 100+8 buy in tourney. |

Re: What do you think is fair???
you took a 2x average stack already deep in a touranemtn to the FT, you don't deserve that much. 250 is pretty generous really. I mean, if you had played the entire tournament w/ his money you'd normally only get 450.

Well technically he didn't promise to give you anything did he? I mean I would have given more myself but he might think he's being generous giving you 25%. If I were you I'd just be happy with the 250. If you stew on it too long it'll just hurt your friendship. Or if it really bothers you bring the issue up and say you feel you deserve half.

Should have made some kind of deal when you took the controls if you expected more than 25% things being as they are I would be happy with what you got.
Grats on the finish though. |

I would probably agreed on % before you took over, but that is a good deal for you. You didn't have to risk any money, and you got to play the fun part of the tourney. Congrats.

Re: What do you think is fair???
And for the people saying they would have asked for a % before hand...
you're just doing a friend a favor.. why would you ask for money? If you win something, he'll probably hook you up but why ask? I ask my friend that lives with me occasionaly to tak eover for me (really rarely, but it happens) and i'd be a little put off if he asked for money.. i mean i've hookd him up each time he's won something, but i wouldnt like it if he asked for it. (I'd still do it, definitely, and it owuldnt be a big deal, but still) |

No, no. Wouldn't ask for money. But if I was leaving, I would most likely say: "Hey can you take over for me here, you'll get 20% of whatever you win."

Re: What do you think is fair???
you made $125/hr with absolutely no risk.
I'll just repeat what i said earlier, 250 is more than enough for what you did. |

I'd be more than happy, you got 25% from him with absolutely no risk of losing money yourself.
