hmm.. first off your friend put you in a precarious position by asking how much you think you should get.. I mean how are you supposed to really answer that.. [/ QUOTE ] This is exactly what I thought, and felt very uncomfortable |

Re: Maybe slightly OT - $ share in MTT winnings
Ok the end to this "episode" was basically..
I replied a $ figure from a common consensus of people I asked, as I felt I couldnt give him a personal opinion. He immediately changed his attitude and started to almost suggest I was in the wrong and looking for more money that my play deserved. He gave me $250 which he decided was fair, which is fair enough at the end of the day as its his money. He has recently contacted me saying he is now giving up poker, and wont be speaking to me again. I feel like I have been used, and money certainly shows peoples true colours. May this be a lesson to everyone. |

Ansky
I will make sure he see's this thread, all I did was do the guy a favour. I have a feeling if I had won a smaller amount then there would have been no need for any of this |

Re: Maybe slightly OT - $ share in MTT winnings
Factors:
1. You did not pay for the tournament entry fee. 2. You did not discuss a % ahead of time. 3. He obviously didnt offer. Its an uncomfortable situation for BOTH of you. 4. You played the most difficult part of the tournament to get him there. All things considered, $750 to $1000 is a good amount IMHO. More than that is not proper because you did not pay for any portion of the entry. Less than that is shorting you IMHO. Nick Nick |

Re: Maybe slightly OT - $ share in MTT winnings
If you explained the specific circumstances of what happened to a cross section of those who are active in tournament backing, I believe that you would get a response that 20%-25% was fair for you to receive.
