Take staking deals for example. Have the horse buy 10-20% of their action at face. All the sudden incentives are aligned properly.

As a side bar, I think one of the biggest problems in the world is that incentives aren't properly aligned. Lawmake… https://t.co/B1ZAtVtz4U

Addendum: "We'll fully work with you if you leave 10% to play for. Have the entire discussion in front of the floor… https://t.co/KXVtVlAJPm

@dwpoker If you give the players a non-messy, no-trust-needed, no-lying-needed option, I think they will take it a very high % of the time

@jesswelman The vast majority of tournaments I play facilitate deals, including plenty of ones in the US. It’s usually no problem at all

@msalsberg @jesswelman No cost. Im saying it should be allowed
