If anyone wants to back me again (or for the first time), send me an email and let me know.
As you may have read, I won a super-satellite for the $5100 NL HE tourney at Foxwoods on Nov. 18-19. So that I can also afford to play in more of the $1080 events leading up to it, I wish to sell 40-50% of my action in the main event. Current rumors among the players suggest anywhere from 130-200 players are expected to enter the main event, so the prize pool may exceed 1 Million dollars, with about 35% of that going to the winner. The numbers don't surprise me, because we're having super-satellites every day, a total of about 25 of them, and they've been awarding about 3 seats apiece. Later on, during the higher limit events, it is expected that even more out-of-towners will be in, and the attendance in the supers will likely go up, maybe awarding 5-8 seats apiece. Some of these will be duplications, of course, but it is still quite likely that we will put at least 70 players inthe main event just by supers.
So, if you'd like to buy a piece of me, first send me an email to the address attached to this post. Tell me how much. Then, put a check in the mail (I'll reply to your email and give you the full address). For each $51 unit you buy, you get 1% of whatever I win on Nov. 19th. As before, I will need to get your social security number when it's time to pay you your share, as everything will be reported to the IRS as required by law. So, if this is a problem for you, you should probably not buy a piece.
If you wish to discuss some other deal, let me know. I'm always willing to listen. ;-)
Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

There is nothing wrong with selling stake of ones self. It is a smart business decision, gives others a chance to be part of a poker tourney without having to pay the entire buy-in fee. Most poker players sell "stock" for their tournaments. Now this is as long as they are legit. I like how you are only selling 30% or so of your stock. Ive read about old stories about players getting so much in debt that they oversold stock in themselves and lost on purpose to make guaranteed money. Thats a pretty creepy thing to do.
