So you basically would treat it exactly as if Peter owed 1.6 mil to Tom?
Horses don't owe their backers the make up when they lose.

I've never staked or been staked. I've also never lent or borrowed money to play poker or for someone to play poker and I've been playing a long time. I get that in the poker world I'm in the minority to have never done any of those things. I also turned down someone buying me into the 10k plo event a few years ago where he would have given me 30 percent of the winnings. I didn't even think I was +ev in the field at all, and while it would have been a good deal for me (nice free roll obviously) it would have been a bad deal for him and I'd feel like **** for torching his 10k even though it doesn't mean much to him. Now if for example the wynn had said "hey we're not gonna hit some guarantee for here's a 10k entry for free but we get 70 percent if you cash" i would have snap taken it.
I've also had people offer to put me in big games I know I'm a dog in and I would never take it.
Sick brag. Poinless and irrelevant, but sick.

Would I played backed if someone owed me 250k ? No i'd want my 250 k first. But Jetten did play backed then torched 1.6 million of Dwan's money. So not sure what your point is.
- Why would you need your 250k first?
- I'm now pretty sure you get my point since you carefully ignored the 3 or 4 questions I asked that where before the ones you answered
. If I'm wrong answer those other questions and I'll clarify what my point is

You keep mentioning that technically Dwan owes him 250k
Technically, morally and moreover logically

Most people on here say you're probably right. So this isn't some gotcha amazing point you think you're making. Where everyone disagrees with you is almost all of us think it's extremely scummy to do that to your friend.
Nice try.
I'm not the first one you tried to explain to you:
- How staking deals work
- Variance
- What a freeroll is
I've seen at least 3 others trying to explain those to you, and you insulting 1 of them.
All those things are not a matter of feelings or opinions, but facts.

you are clearly a person with no morals or ethics who would happily take advantage of your friends. You would have snap taken my 10k plo deal if a friend offered it knowing fully well he was getting screwed bc it benefited you. Sadly there are plenty like you in the poker world
Cause I'd refuse to get freerolled?
