Before posting I'd like to say how sorry I am to hear about Rob McGarvey (I don't get on hear that often).. a little over a year ago he helped me get started in online play... everything he said was on the money and every bonus he agreed to split with me was sent; pretty awesome considering we met over the internet... god bless may you rest in peace...
.... While at a Christmas party (mingling with some folks I didn't really know) the subject turned to gambling (mostly hold'em.. friggin' TV). When a guy's wife made a comment about his losses at the craps table I turned to my fiancee (this is her crowd by the way..... my redbird A double S doesn't run in these cirlces), "did she just say that hubby lost a hundred large throwing dice!!!???"
The little wheel in my head started doing double time. Sure enough I made a comment to the Mrs. and the curiosity got the best of her and she told hubby and he wanted to hear the one minute speech on a subject near and dear to all of us .... With in minutes I found myself at a hold'em table with a small crowd around me .... 20 chips in front of me, he's the dealer (SD, H17, DA2, no DAS, 5 hands per deck, spread 1-4) .... I suddenly realize I'm nervous. Now here's the problem, it went too damn good!! 4 units out ... snapper, 1 unit out neg. count hard 12 against a 4 ... hit and win, after five decks I had over doubled the stack. He makes a proposal that the first trip we'll sit together and play black; if it goes well we'll switch to purple (holy crap... this man just said purple!).... he's got visions of millions and i've got visions of 1.5% or a .22 behind the ear if I lose his money (yes, crazy thougts did enter my mind). Here's the question and all thought's will be greatly appreciated. Would you sit down with a backer's money? If so, what kind of a split would you ask for? Thanks in advance

PS. I'm in Reno for the NBAA conference feb. 12-16 (at a nickel table of course) if anyone happens to be in the area the beer is on me (while at the tables.. but you're drinkin' alone.. lol)
