And,ps to the haters and future haters.... The best things in life are earned .if You work honestly legitimately for your items, you appreciate and respect the things you achieve much more. I would 95% rather put my own investment into myself then play with someone else's money. Psychologically speaking your already in a bad mind frame when you enter a tournament staked or not. I don't care what anyone tells me. If you have a conscious your first feelings are hope and then hope you don't disappoint. You don't wanna let anyone down. I don't know what the math would be but for the majority players being staked I would have to assume they lay down more frequent hands they would otherwise not fold had they of been playing with there on money. And when you see the outcome of these hands you secretly tell yourself fuck if I played with my own money I would of called, and maybe you go on tilt or you discourage yourself because you second guess it....

Peace
