If an unknown back said he would cover you for a $100k set, would you play?

You forgot Jiff Cloyner.
Anyone who wants to back me for a 100k belongs in a mental ward.
Of course. Assuming that the money will be posted and frozen. Take the free roll.
Happened to me at a show. I was doing a jump cue presentation and a well known shortstop started heckling me and offered to give me the five out and the snap for 2000. One of the spectators leaned in and whispered to me to take it and he would back it. I said I would play that way and the shortstop did more back flips than Mary Lou Retton.
Not before saying he would play any I brought even for 500 a game...Larry Nevel was walking by and I called him over and said Larry would you play this guy some for 500 a game.
Larry says sure. The SS says anybody but him. I said ok well I have a guy named Rodney, a Jose, a Johnny....which one would like.
The crowd got a great laugh out of this whole show. The shortstop left and we resumed destroying pool in America with the jump cue.

Good post JB, I would have loved to be there. Larry Nevel is still my favorite pro player out there right now. He may not be in the top 10 anymore, but his stroke is/was monstrous and the way he conducts himself at the table is how it should be done.
I would assume it's some prank or the barker and the backer are in cahoots.
Or worse, some kind of con/scam.
Like I lose and the backer says "no you misunderstood the deal.
You owe me $50,000."
This is an interesting question but not with that silly $100,000 number.
That number is so rare that it basically doesn't exist.
You might as well have said "if a stranger offered to back you for
100,000,000,000,000 would you play?"
A more realistic number might be $10,000.
Then there's at least some tiny chance it's a legit offer.
Then I might actually have to think about it.
