You plan on playing in a $200 buy-in tournament for FREE and you want to take a cut? Can you get any greedier? I'm not trying to sound mean, but I think your free buy-in is good enough compensation for hosting. Any extra beyond that will be determined by your luck and skill. Sorry if I sound offensive, but come on. You're being offered a meal on a silver platter and you're just asking to take the platter with you too. Seriously?
