A lot of the tourneys would not meet guarantees if not for stakes that are offered by Ender and the service he provides for seals is benefiting Ender as well as Seals I feel its a big conflict of interest and the graph he has is suspect .

I don't personally see how it's a conflict of interest. If you could show he was donking off his chips to people he was staking or something, then I think you might have something. But being successful at tournaments is not a conflict of interest. Even playing in tournaments where you are staking others isn't a problem. It happens all the time. It's only a problem if you start playing those players differently because of it. And that should be pretty easy to tell just by watching him play.

Well lets post his graphs. Even so if nothing untoward is happening he has unlimited funds and could play every tournament on seals and have mounds and mounds of money left over so he has a huge advantage over the regular seals player in that regard alone and is freerolling all the tournaments he is in aside from having improbable statistics. Ender is the house in that he is able to fund every tourney if need be through compensation he gets for his stakes program so that's where I say it is a conflict of interest. playing poker should be a level playing field and he has a huge advantage any way you look at it.
