Message: [QUOTE="titans4ever, post: 376037, member: 2843"] Good advice all. The first tournament is on this Saturday and is a $100 buy in, so keep it coming. Still want advice and more input. I trust this site to give me help here. Mr. Sticker, I love the idea of selling space on my shirt and hat for profit while I play live, but I am not a local poker god who everyone wants to see (only in my dreams). I do well when I play but I just don't do it that often with wife and kids. I don't see anyone really being interested in this except the event that could be on cable, then it would be a great thing for those companies. I see the flaw in the intitial agreement we talked about. We were mixing up two things, advertising and fronting entry fees, into one agreement. I think it should be one or the other. He can pay my entry fees (will work that out) and work out the arrangement of profits or he can pay me like Bill says for advertising while at the tournaments. I just should not try to tie both of them into the same agreement. I love Bill's great idea of paying me a % of my winnings for wearing his gear at the tournaments. I don't place, he doesn't have to pay. I do well and lots of people will see his stuff, then he pays more. Makes sense to me, gives me extra insentive to do well, gain an extra 33% of my winnings (may have to cap it though, 33% of a six grand 1st place may be much for one tourament). If he does not go for that then we will work on a fronting the fees to the tournament. I like the 50/50. It will allow me to get to most of the tournaments and I can easily afford the $400 tournament then. I will wear what I want unless he wants to pay for me to wear something IF, big IF, I get lucky and make it to the final table. Next question is, which will be more profitable for me? If I do the fronting entry fee, I only make half of the total, but I can enter more tournament total. I could make it to all 8 instead of 3 or 4 of them. I do the % of winnings I maximize the times I do make it in the money. Should there be a cap or max for one event. $500? $1000? What would it be worth to see your stuff at a final table in a casino tournament? [/QUOTE]
