Hey everyone. Just wondering what a fair % of return and of tourney winnings are for a backer. Thanks all.

Is it just me, or is the "wing" the worst part of a fried chicken. It has hardly any meat on it at all, and when you finally do find that small piece of chickeny goodness it's usually half gristle anyway! I think they should just stop frying the wing altogether, and just throw it away. It's all about product quality folks, and the fried chicken wing is just not cutting it.

That must have been a great house to grow up in. I always used to try to dump the wings off on my brother, but he was no sucker. Drumsticks are the bombeezy, but the thigh is my piece of choice. p.s. way to play it cool when you're brother was calling dibs on the wings. well played.

don't you hate it when you get a piece of popcorn stuck to the side of one of your back molars. then you have to hack it up like a cat coughing up a hairball or try to pick it off with your tounge, which looks ridiculous by the way. it's the worst.

[DeadlySkillz]

ok. no worries . not exactly sure what you mean with 150 - 180%.usually when i am staked, if i win or place in a FT, i will pay back the original buy-in plus 50% of the winnings.same if i stake someone, if they make a FT, they pay back the buy-in plus 50%.Its not comon that you will find someone wiling to stake you for less. whats the point?if you are being staked for cashgames, then sometimes a running tax, "juice" w.e. u wanna call it will be added.so you get a Bank role donated to you, and you then owe winnings from that bank role to the backer. Its really up to you with that situation. I mean i personally wouldnt get staked for a BR.

My original question was bad. (It's still too early)Let me try to explain. Someone is going to donate me a bankroll. With it I will be playing cash games and MTT's. He asked for 180% return on what he lends to me. I was wondering if this amount was fair.

no. .thats ridiculous. How do you expect to make any money for the amount of hours you play?if he lends you 2k and you turn it into 5k, and you pay him back 3500. you are left with 1500. that is the only reasonable way i see it.but if you cant at least double the money in a short time, then thats crap.and how long does he plan to collect?.. just 1 time. or constant?

[DeadlySkillz]

One time. I thought 180% was a bit much. Gona see if I can get him to around 140%. Thanks Royal. :-)

I tell ya, I can't get enough of The King of Queens reruns. I really love that show. I never watched it first run. Even though I like Carrie, the show loses some punch b/c she is chubby now.I used to love when my mom would buy all legs. I could knock back like six of those things. Now, I only like breasts. As far as wings go, the best place I've had is The Bru's Room here in SoFL. My South FL brethren should back me up. They grill em, I hate wet wings. The also have wet ones though. I only wish I could send you an order.

I think when you are being stalked, you need a lot more money to disappear effectively to a foreign country with no paper trail. When doing the stalking, all it requires is a little brain power, a social security number, and a non-descript car.Oh. Staked.nevermind.Ray
