O-Poker

I stumbled across a post on 2+2 the other day and have been meaning to post a link to it.

It is good to see a positive online poker post that doesn't involve the Absolute Poker Scandal (nat's recap, P5s podcast), the WCOOP winner getting disqualified for cheating, or the UIGEA.

I like reading stuff like this.

Short version:

Guy stakes several players.
One of them comes in 2nd in the PS Sunday Million for $138k.
The deal is 70/30 (staker/player) since it is a one tourney deal.
The 2nd place finisher actually honors his word and ships the money without any problems.

LINK TO THE THREAD - Worth reading for a change of pace from the Absolute drama.

Rupert's 2+2 BBV thread title and post says it all:

Brag: randomly staked a guy and won $96,600

Was just hanging in #hsmtt on Sunday and JayPez was putting some dudes into the $11 100k. I was like i'll one up this dude and put a loada peeps into a $55 that was about to start. One of the guys had like a pretty solid record at the $2 multis on full tilt so I asked if he wanted to play the Sunday million. We struck a 70/30 deal and it was set.

Unfortunately all my horses bust from the $55 and I was left sweating HojoMofo in the mill... Fast forward 12 hours later and he finished 2nd for $138k. HOLLA!! I gained faith in humanity when he didn't default me on the monies as it arrived in my account this morning Shoutouts to the #HSMTT dudes, especially Hojo!
