may try a few satellites for event's 9 & 19 and the main event but gonna stake someone I know that is very good and playing 13 events
Well, I don't play at full tilt. I mostly play on IPoker network.
Won a seat to ECOOP II event #6 $200 000 guaranteed (shorthanded)
What does FTOPS stand for... Full Tilt... something or other.
Full Tilt's Official Poker Sensation? ♦

What do you mean by staking? Were you betting that he would lose, or yould finish later in the tournament?

chenny , my roll on stars & my 5 Ipoker & Prima account all started from selling 7 million playmoney chips few years ago for $70 and built it up playing 1c/2c & $1.10 sng on stars
as for Staking a good player for 13 FTOPS events did not think it a bad risk
arjun2001 , Staking players to play big events is pretty normal but risky in poker , at least two of the last 4 Main Event at the WSOP were staked

You pay buyin for tournament, he plays. Winnings are usually split 50-50 or 60-40 in favor of the guy who staked. Depends on agreement
staking good players for big tournaments is almost always +EV, i'm not doubting that!
