Default Getting staked at Stars 50/100, 100/200 and 200/400....who to avoid

A friend of mine with deep pockets is going to stake me in the bigger games at Stars. I know some of the players to avoid (IanJ, Newhizzle) but are there others that I should be particularly wary of?

Assuming this post is serious every player at 200/400 is going to cause you fits because you aren't familiar with the level of aggression they are bringing to the table. The games are just about always shorthanded and the "best" game is still tougher than the worst 50/100 and its not close. 100/200 looks to me like it sometimes plays closer to 2/4 and sometimes 50/100.

I think his point is that you will very rarely find people who play poorly on all streets. Most of the super aggressive opponents will give up value before the flop by playing too many hands but play very very well after the flop. This is of course difficult to play against shorthanded.

you can try to cross-stake me mike (i am assuming that means stake AGAINST me), but why would anyone give up that action if i would be such an easy mark? and why would i ever take such a request the wrong way? people underestimating me has been to my advantage.

i dont get the point of staking. what percent are you being staked? seems more profitable to beat up on 10-20 thru 30-60 with 100% profit.
