    My son, Sean, and I have been talking alot the past few days about "paying it forward"...especially since the holiday season is quickly approaching. Additionally, I have a had a really good couple of weeks in the poker room and the sportsbook....and now it's time to give back.

    In honor of my son, the holiday season, and my recent good Fortune...I am offering up stakes on Poker stars. I put $60 on PS today, although I have never played there, to share with the regulars, lurkers, donkeys, etc.
    STAKE RULES
    1. Terms are 50/50 split after fees have been reimbursed.
    2. MUST play a tourney...no satellites.
    3. MUST post bust out HH....we all need a good laugh.
    4. MUST not be a douche regarding terms or anything else.
    5. No requirements on number of posts....just don't be a douche.
    6. I reserve the right to stake whoever I want.
    7. Any winnings sent back to me will be redistributed into the pool.
    8. Don't ruin it for others or you will be outed.
    9. 5+.50 MAX on the buyin
    10. Post that you have received and when you are playing as I want to watch when I can.

    Go Terps!
    Go Phillies!

    THANKS SEAN!!!!

    Thanks for the generous opportunity Sponge! I would love to run a stake for you. It's totally up to you but if you want I'd definately play a 4.40 180 man and as always will ascribe to your stake rules above. Let me know if you have any questions

    Not to shit on your parade here but if you just put the money on today you aren't staking anyone.

    You can't transfer funds that haven't cleared yet (at least this is the case normally for me.)

    Great idea though.

    EDIT: I obv only use e-check so I guess this isn't a problem through alternate means.

    Depends how he deposited I believe, if it was thru E-checks then you wouldn't be able to send any amount of $$$ that would bring you below the 60$ mark until the funds have cleared, but I believe any other deposit method, Debit, CC, Western Union, another player X-fer shouldn't incur problems no? Whatever it is good luck with your idea!

    I am just a lurker with less than 200 posts.. I have only staked once before but all I could afford to give someone was a dollar.. I would love to play anything because I have no job right now and 7 cents left :).. anyway I am sure anyone who recieves will appreciate.

    If you're in the giving mood still, I'd like a shot in the $5.50 at 13:00ET. If I missed out, gl to you and the horses you picked.

    *edit* had said the $3.30, but didn't see the $5.50 originally. Included is a little something to make up for my oversight.
