half the bankroll?

[headofmike]

I wasn't sure where to put this post. So if it belongs somehwere else please move it. A friend of mine runs a 3-6 game out of his house. He gets alot of players and none of them really have any idea how to play, I am sure none of them are winners. I used to play there all the time and do very well. However I never played with a bankroll. Now that I'm learing about bankroll/bankroll management I've stopped playing there until I have the proper bankroll (1800). However he made me an offer tonight. He says if I play in the game 3 nights a week he will cut any losses I take in half. For example if I lose 100, he pays me back 50. I get to keep all winnings. I might be wrong but this would cut my variance in half, and now I would only require half the bankroll right? I told him I'd think about it. It sounds really great to me, but I wanted to see what you all had to say about such things first.
