If that is true, I wonder how all these other guys would feel about playing in a one million dollar 30-player tournament with a decent probability of ending up at a table with a player and the guy who backed him...

With all of the backing and swapping that's already going on I don't think this will really be that much different.

I love the game of poker for the competition, the psychology, the never-ending quest to improve, the advanced and sometimes minute complexities not everyone sees when they play, and the enjoyment of succeeding after giving all your energy to reach a goal that may at first seem unattainable but that you find a way to make it possible.

Hey Balloon guy, see what happens when you're only posting a handful of times every single day? People forget you. I'm going to prescribe a 20 post per day minimum at least until the new year combined with a new thread at least once a week. If this isn't effective, we'll work on a new strategy on keeping you in the limelight.

I follow almost all of the confirmed players on twitter. I would be able to use their tweets to exploit them.Plz to be considered. Also, please ignore my lifetime negative rio in MTTs, it's purely run bad and I'm prepared to crush this tournament.

The probability of you secretly being a millionaire or unexpectedly becoming one within the next year must be something like one in a million.Can't resist a $1 +EV spot, so I apply!

While I don't know if Mandarin speakers are traveling from elsewhere in China, Cantonese is the more widely spoken dialect in that region.
If you mean in Macau, then yes the common language is Cantonese. But China is Mandarin and if you had to learn one then you'd choose Mandarin since the Chinese players fueling the big game are speaking Mandarin for sure.

This would be the safest investment in the world if I could swing it. Hopefully my blogging picks up in the coming months!

just reading an article there, and yeah it is Mandarin that Trickett is learning. Cantonese is mainly spoken in Macau (and Portuguese funnily enough I think!) but as ye've already mentioned, the players would not be Macau natives and therefore speak Mandarin.

How many of these players will be actually playing with 100% of their own money?Daniel alluded to in a blog that he will be selling pieces of himself as well I believe..
