    I am playing the 11r 55k on stars and i have 36k in chips at the 2nd break. I owe my friend 240$ and he can't deposit on stars until his netteller clears. He offers to pay me and just play under my name in the tourny and he gets whatever he wins. The original offer was 140$. I paid 100$ including rebuys and add ons. I told him I didnt know b/c i was in 62nd place and a shot to get a good showing. But the with less then 1 minute in the break he says, "OK, if you let me play on your name we are even with the 240$ you owe me." Before I answer, I get 108spades under the gun, so i call the BB. Then after i call i say if u give me 240$ ill take the deal. UTG+2 raises to 1900(300/600 blinds) and 4 people call. So i tell him that im calling this. And I flop 79j, the miracle flop. I check and UTG+2 goes all in for 20kish. I call and he has kk and my nut straight holds. I have 66k in chips and in 6th place. So my friend asks me when he can sign on.... 27th place pays $265.14 and there are 430 players left at this time with the average stack at about 20k. My question is would you take the deal he offered and erase your debt, or risk it and hope to get better then 27th to break even in the situation?

    i would risk it. you have a chance to win enough to pay him back and put some more in your pocket.

    It shouldn't be a deal. If you can afford to spend $100 on a $10 rebuy, then sack up and give your 'friend' what is rightfully his. If he can't deposit, then be a good friend and transfer him $240 over stars.

    it really depends how much $ you have. if the $240 will be a problem for you to pay, then take the deal. it's never worth getting yourself into short or long term $ problems just to push edges for a few hundred here or there (if it's even that high). but if you're going to be fine paying the $240 regardless, it's an easy no deal. your stack is worth more than $240 without a doubt IMO.

    negotiating how? I know if he wins it hes not going to just give me a hand shake. Any significant amount at the final table I know ill get some percentage back. But its just kinda unsaid and understood. I hate being in debt to anybody and like to get out of it as quick as possible. Ive seen alot of friends get in fights over $$$ all the time, so i try to avoid that at all costs.

    you were right. He just donked off 160,000 chips on a pure bluff with 109 and a guy with QQ called and now he is bitching at him because he represented KK or AA.

    OUCH

    For the record, I traded it. He made a questionable re-raise bluff for almost all his chips (still has like 30k left). Not gunna with this tourny playing just your cards though.

    *i wish he'd stop bitching on my name and just accept he got beat... and if he gets my chat revoked again im gunna kill him cause next time i get it revoked i dont think i get it back*

    I don't know why he tried that move, so pointless. He was top 10 in chips and tries to bluff the one guy with the same size stack as his.

    I agree with mhoddi here. If you can afford to play an 11r, which it seems that you can since you have no problem dropping $100 on it, then you can afford to pay the guy and not lose the equity in the tournament.
