Evening all.

Looks like I tuned in just in time... Mike getting sucked out on is always good times.

It's been said before, but the problem with staking players is the players you would stake don't require staking.

A player like Mo doesn't need your money; the only time you can see it being worthwhile is if he, say, had some weird life situation where he had to clear out his bankroll to, I don't know, save his brother's farm and now he has zero dollars to play poker. So it's worth it for him to accept your stake AND it's worth it for you as you know he'll do well with it. Then, six months down the road, he's put together his roll again and the agreement is done.

But barring Mo's brother's farm getting foreclosed on, staking usually isn't a great deal for someone in the equation (usually: the staker).

Hey Tuch:

Just wanted to mention that I caught your shver Off-Broadway on Mother's Day. I took my mum and pop to see "Tryst" at the Promenade on 76th St. and everyone enjoyed it very much. An old fashioned intimate melodrama with some psychosexual mumbojumbo, but very entertaining and well acted. I'd recommend it to anyone in the New York area.

Oh, and if you know what trainer Mr. C uses, I'd love to know. That dude is cut.

Jay, yeah I do, but very rarely. I really prefer to play live, so I barely log in there maybe once a month. For now, I don't even have much $$$ on that site. Why? Do you play there too?
