    So I began getting backed a while ago and the deal started off real well and i had some moderate success, but lately one of my backers has been a real big jerk to me and i think its negatively effecting my poker game and my emotional well being. so my question to the poker community here at p5s is wat should i do? does any1 else have experience with backers who are bullies....plz if u have any advice let me know ASAP

    If your boss is a jerk, get out of the deal!

    talk to him 1 on 1 like an adult.

    Try to figure out what is the problem and whether or not you guys are going to be able to come to a decision that satisfies you both.

    If not, look for greener pastures.

    I don't know much about high stakes backing but it seems your 27 ranking would be an asset you could market to other backers pretty easily.

    Tell him to stfu cuz you've obviously won him a ton of money, unless u somehow had all of that in makeup, but yeah if ur in makeup just talk to him...otherwise find someone else...shouldn't be hard for you.

    Discuss w/ your backer prior to posting on the forums. At the most, there's no reason to discuss w/ a couple close friends instead of posting this publicly. This will only create animosity with your backer.
