I'm sure they will be right on to tell you how much they get. If you ask nicely for their bank details you might get them, it really depends on how they are feeling.

off topic:

i need some help from
a native american, b/c I am writing a paper and dont
know if that sentence is grammatical:

"The child develops a habit that is a response to HER environment."

Is it HER, HIS, ITS ???

Please help me out

@topic: At High Stakes Poker for example they get 1200$/hour. Also I think a Full Tilt pro for example will get a certain amount for signing a contract with them +100% rakeback etc..

For years, it used to be HIS. Then political correctness came in, and it became HIS or HER. Now, I guess to balance out the years of HIS, just HER is sometimes used as well. No real rule on this one, actually, as I think at this point all three are acceptable (ITS is not). I use HIS or HER.

BTW, Native American refers to people formerly known as American Indians. The term you're looking for is a native English speaker.

But anyway, every sponsoring deal is different and the exact details are usually only know to the site and the player.

i'm gonna risk giving a serious reply, but it varies from the lowest on the totem pole of eight thousand FTP pros who get next to nothing (i don't know the details of their deals, but it obviously can't be worth much to FTP to have certain, won't name names, people) to phil hellmuth who prob makes high 6 figures, maybe even 7 figures for his involvement with UB.

"his or her" is the worst choice. It should be "his" or "her".

I think "response to their environment" sounds much better.

Also, what's with all these "how much do sponsored pros get" threads lately? It used to be impolite to ask somebody else what his salary was...

"Their" seems to be most appropriate. Webster 2nd usage of the word their.

"their" is incorrect--since "child" is singular, its pronoun must also be singular; if you wanted to use 'their' you'd have to say 'children', which probably would be a more elegant formation anyhow-- "Children develop habits in response to their environment".

Funny answers. I asked Juanda about this and he said that they can get bought into any tournament, but then they have to give a % of the money they win back to Full Tilt so he doesn't do it because it's like giving money away if you're successful.

And I'm pretty sure they don't make $1200/hr. lol.

100% rakeback + something like $35/hour to play (the hourly changes for each player)

i agree with lou, i was going to suggest you switch it "Children develop habits in response to their environment."

if you say "the child" you are referring to someone in particular and in that case you should know to put either his or her.

but if you really must use "the child" and don't know the gender, his or her is fine as long as you stay consistent through out your piece.
