    Saw a post by crazyhorse the other day, and during his chop discussion he said he was backed. I was just curious as how many players in the top 100 are backed? I fully understand with the amount of volume these players log, being backed is obviously a huge safety net for many of these players, considering they can play up to 8k worth of buy ins on any given sunday. Just curious to see how many players roll on their own dime, and how many are backed.

    By a quick run down of the list Id say about half if I had to guess. 50-60. Majority of the people in the 101-200 range are backed I know tho including myself

    I guess about 60 of them are backed. I also think they don't have 60 different backers. O/U on how many different backers they have at 20?

    After you've been ranked #1 and been around long enough for the respect of your peers of being one of the best, nothing else in poker should matter besides $$$...phuck rankings.
