I play in a monthly school where the buy in is U$350, and the organiser decided to create a tourney where the buy in is U$1000, and is a Freeroll.
To be honest, even the U$350 is a little steep for me, but I played in the bigger tourney and finished 10th, and solidly out of the money.
Now the same fellow has raised the buy in to U$1500, as he and most of the players are fairly wealthy and have no problem at all with the amount.
I declined, explaining why, and was astounded when the organiser offered to pay my entry fee himself, citing my present form. Less exciting was the fact that he would claim 100% of whatever I won, and when I rejected his offer, I could see he was offended!
I asked what was in it for me and his reply was that I would "have great fun and get a free lunch"...! Whoopee! :deal:
Now my neighbour, also a poker pal, thinks I acted hastily and should have accepted the offer.
What do you guys advise?
