Default about my wsop backing arangement

I am semi undecided as to what to do now.

As it stands I am not going to take any backers now, but I have a few other ideas.

I had to put it on hold, because I had a technical problem to work out with empire before I felt comfortable taking any money in. I was not 100% sure I was able to play, so it was only right to wait.

Now I am in the position where I think I only have about $500-$1000 worth of people that want to buy. 2 months ago this would have made a world of difference as I was on the bottom of my bankroll whilst moving meh stuff. Now I 2 months ahead on rent playing at the 55s with a solid BR.


Im still trying to cook up something, but most of my ideas are going flat. Ive never been backed before, so I guess part of it is a pride thing too.

Do what the pros do:

- Sell $20,000 of yourself.
- Lose on purpose in first hour.
- Blame loss on bad internet players.

Then you go from "Springtime for Hitler" to "Prisoners of Love."

SS, it would be helpful to someone like me, and perhaps others, with the interworkings of being backed.

What kind of arrangements are you considering? What will end up being your out of pocket expenses? What are the drawbacks (besides sharing if you win)? What are your hopes?

If Irieguy backs you, will you have to pay him back if you lose?
