Re: Staked players in a game with the staker
(I'm assuming the staked players are all winners in the game; thus their true win rates are greater than the aveage player in the game.) If this is the case the staker has a smaller edge than he would if all his players were in different games. It's easy to see that replacing an average player with a staked player reduces the win rate of each player at the table.
The staker will also experience less variance than he would if his players were all in different games. That is because one player's success increases the chances of another player's failure (and vice versa).
