Hi all, my friend wants to put me into the 1K event tonight and he swears that everyone sucks. He'll buy 70% of my action at 1.2 so I'll just pay $160 to buy 30% of myself (that math seems wrong, can someone confirm?). I do pretty well in tournies, especially when donk infested, but would it make more sense to stake myself in lower buy in tournies here where the fields are even softer or would it make more sense to just play 30% of myself in 1K. Thanks for any input!

Your math is correct.
$1000 * 1.2 = $1,200 * 70% = $840 or $1k * 70% = $700 * 1.2 = $840 that your friend is buying in for 70%. Since it is a $1k event, it will cost you $160 out of pocket for the remaining 30%. -
The field will be very soft in the 1k. Especially if you've already sold action at 1.2, it's a no brainer, the structures at the daily 235's and VDSE aren't as good. And your friend is right that everyone sucks, I'd definitely play the 1k in your situation without a doubt.
The key is later levels also, ave stack in the 235s will be like 10bbs w 3 tables left or something insane like that.
