I guess I just don't understand this whole retirement logic. Say first prize in a poker tournament is $50,000. There are 4 people entered, and for $1, they will let you enter too for a 5 person winner take all tourney. Would you not play, because even if you won, you wouldn't be able to retire? I guess I don't see what that has to do with anything?
And as I see it, it would actually be $1 CHEAPER for you to enter the WSOP if you had a backer, but again, you don't seem to think the prize money is worthwhile. Would you not be happy if you won enough to buy a house or a few cars, or a freaking ipod? This is free money to you if you are backed. Where retirement comes from out of this, I don't know...
Why play at all if you are only looking to retire after one big score? You're not going to win enough in one night of playing $1000/2000 to be able to retire (let alone $1/$2), so is that not a high enough stakes game for you?
Sounds to me like you should quit poker and focus on the lottery.
