I would want the money posted also. I'm not trying to put air back into this discussion by the way. One thing however, before I traveled half way across the country to play, taking time out of my schedule, spending my money, I would want the money posted. What is gonna keep Jesse's stakehorse from saying " I have 20gs blackjack action right now, why would I want to watch a 20g, 18 hr set of pool? " could happen. Posting covers that. 2 centsmosconiac said:Chris: You've got the story wrong on Corey & Jess. Jess told Corey/Jamie they had to come to him because Jesse's backer is tied to Vegas...and he won't travel for $10-20k sets. If you know the backer, that comment will make sense. If you don't know the backer, that will sound like a cop out, which it is not.
Corey/Jamie said they wouldn't travel unless Jess posted (as if his backer is a common nit). Jess (let alone his backer) does not have a history of backing out of games, so this was an absurd demand given the reputations of those involved.
Jess relented on his preference for sets (accepted their game) and offered to post the $$$ thru Duff (since Jess was in Vegas at the time). Duff agreed to post for Jess so there are no excuses from Jess' side.
Jess did everything he could possibly do to make it happen and it didn't. Draw your own conclusions from there.
This all occured on the Action Report stream from Olathe so I'm not the only one that saw it unfold.
