Re: Carter "bdybldngpkr" Phillips Walks out on stake, agrees to buyout and doesnt pay

Once he agreed to 25k in his text message(I have seen Tom's phone and can confirm it) end of story he owes you the money and has to pay up.
Sad to see it come to this as both of you were good friends and are both great kids! Hope he does the right thing clears his head out and moves on in a positive way.
I think he will come through(or hope so)

Another lesson in staking with so called ?friends? get a contract made up by a lawyer and trust no one especially gamblers! Gamblers that are in a massive downswing never think str8and this is what it sounds like

really sucks man, seems like you handled this extremely reasonably/as well as is possible. hope he rethinks this for all parties involved.


bef99hawk everything you say is either a complaint or really really stupid

Of course it doesn't...someone has to give him a reason to smile about losing out on getting 23k.....and what I said makes a ton of sense. Not sure if I was serious....intrawebs.

communication and trust only things that matter in staking seems like both were lacking heard borth sides of story... I have a hard time believing Carter isnt going to pay you back

Re: Carter "bdybldngpkr" Phillips Walks out on stake, agrees to buyout and doesnt pay

if these details are correct and he didn't pay you back, he'd certainly stand to lose much more than $23k in future EV by ruining his reputation and he's good enough at poker that it would be burning a pretty sick bridge for him (to the entire poker community). unless he's picked up a pit game habit, my guess is he's just going through a rough patch and will figure things out soon.

Write it off Tom, you're a baller. This was an expensive lesson, but well worth it. I'm sure you accounted for this being a large possibility before you got into backing. Seems like Carter may be in a rough spot financially. I would bet that when he got back on his feet he would probably want to pay you what you are owed.

if that agreement is in writing then get a lawyer imo. I hope that 25k agreement is in writing- note to stakers- put the agreement in writing and preferably get signatures!

Black Friday changes the % for value of makeup a lot....

but obviously many factors in why its real, how well /liquid Tom is and how good Carter is live/how well carter is playing/if Carter will keep playing obv....

For a crazy degenerate tiltbox who can't grind online anymore post black friday...40% seems wayyyyyy high.
