I am the friend who staked the OP. First of all, let me say that I am amazed that so many (allegedly) accomplished poker players cannot comprehend the value of being staked. The theory of "If you don't have the bankroll to play the 20/40 game, then you shouldn't be playing it" is ludicrous. OP is an excellent player that simply chooses not to keep a roll large enough to play 20/40. Does that in and of itself make him unable to have a considerable edge at the game? Absolutely not. In fact, if any of you would like to set up a private table online somewhere, I would feel quite good about staking him against any of you. The best players in the world have staking arrangements for various reasons, and to suggest it is a bad idea for OP to receive a stake in order to play a game that he normally wouldn't play is just dumb.

Also, allow me to second the notion that *TT* is a dick. You're a moderator for God's sake. Show some class with your responses. I'm aware that the best lay that you ever had either involved a sheep, blowup doll or a watermelon, and clearly your life experience hasn't allowed you to collect a great deal of self esteem, but try your best to act like something other than a complete tard.

That is all.
