I could be wrong because i do not profess to be an expert on backing. Cate updates frequently on twitter when she plays tournaments . Dentale ? Rarely. Ronnie Bardah has openly admitted he goes in on his own dime and has never been backed in his entire life .
Thank you for the compliment.
(I am not great at condensing my posts, so I admit that is a weak area of my posting game that needs work)
Yes I think Tweeting regular updates is a decent indicator of a backed player. However, how much equity she has in herself is pure guesswork on my part, it could really be anything from 10% to 100%.
Tweeting updates also would not solely be for backers, but also for fans and followers, as it's content that they want to see and that in turn raises her poker profile so benefits her going forwards.
I agree that players who don't Tweet updates of live comps are more likely to have 100% of themselves, because if you do have 100% then why would you want to post info on how you played, sometimes it can be playing badly, or if you tilted or just plain fancied a -EV gamble that luckily paid off.
You also may
not want non poker playing Twitter following friends or random people to know about your financial business and how much you are risking and winning or losing.
