I doubt there are many professional poker players on Y! Answers but any advice would be helpful… Such as how to begin… tournaments only or play cash games too? What do you do about insurance ? Thanks!

Friend asked me to play Online Poker Tournament for him?

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Hi I have a questions. My friend played poker online and won a satellite seat to another tournament, If he wins that one he can play in the 3 rd Tournament with potential for a cash price. The thing is he will not be around that day for the online #2 Tournament and has asked me to play.
My questions is should I expect a part of the winnings if I get him into the final and 3rd tournament and he wins. Without me getting him through the 2cd tournament the 3rd and final tournament would not be possible.
I am just not sure what the proper ediquette is in this situation.
Yes Cash Price is significan from 200K To 10K For Top 20 players.
