Backers for pool players!

That's on a need to know basis.
Backer using the player ??? You gotta be kiddin ... How many backers you seen dump a session ?? Some players fail to manage the funds or don't see when they're up against the wall, or simply can't handle the pressure of their own cheese .. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

If they can't take pressure with their own money then their playing for too much for them. If they can't manage money they'll always be broke no matter what... banker or own money. If they can't match up right they need to not gamble on pool. Matching up is where you win before you play if your good at it and know your true speed and are honest with yourself. ///and of course you have to know the guys speed you want to play. If you don't know his speed...don't take the game. All the heros that do die broke. Johnnyt

being backed is no differant than being sponsored in my opinionjoepwins8 said:
Depends on player's morale value...
What about people who "only" want to play on other people's money because they can't handle the pressure from possibility of loosing their own dough, but no pressure of loosing other people's money

I have played on my own cash and been backed on many occasions. For me, pressure was always there, no matter which pocket the money came out of - Because I never want to loose:wink:

I agree with Johnnyt that you should play with your own money, but i'm also very much in agreement with the top players getting backers and playing for higher stakes. They are in it to make a living, but you need at least a certain amount of security in your life. You don't want to have to push your entire BR into the middle to make a score. Thats just too much potential for misery and mental anguish, at least for me.
Backers are essential to the game. Not only does it provide an inflow of money to the actual players, but without backers, there would be little action. People don't like to play "fair" games, and most people won't gamble their own money unless they think they have somewhat of an advantage (in pool, the money lost as casino gambling is much different).

That can be a two way street as well.
Many times the player may not want a backer, but really need one. For the players who engage a backer and settle for less than 50%, well, that is their problem and are probably just desperate.
On the other hand, if someone sets up the game or the action, he may be entitiled to at least half the action. The way I always looked at it is could I have won this without him? If no, he deserves it and I make the deal. If was something I could have done without him, I play on my money and then throw him 10-15%.
