also, makeup means, that you continue playing with your backers money and only split profits when you are up. so if he stakes you for 250 and you lose 100, you don't start splitting profits untill you get back over 250. if you lose 250 and he stakes you another 250, then you don't start splitting profits untill you have over 500 in the account. makeup is incredibly standard for a stake like the one you are proposing.

I only play PLO

$50 to $4600 in 36 hours and I can't play? Yeah looking forward to seeing your results.

$4600 to $0 in two hours shows I have a tilt / game selection problem. But I can play.

Jimm, you rock. I admire your spirit, your joie de vivre. Good luck with your staking arrangement or with gambling your own money. And quit while you're ahead, guy.

It's a small amount of money, no disaster to lose it for him and the chance of making a nice score. As I said, I only have to be successful 1 time in 10 for it to pay off.

On that site these were my first results:

$60 free bonus into $600, then lost because I'm not a winning player

$200 into $400 into $0 (I'm not a winning player and always bust)

$40 into $1200, then lost because I can get lucky for a bit but am not a winning player

$50 into $4600, then lost because I always busto and am not a long term winner by any means

Now I'm with a new skin and can withdraw, it should make all the difference. So long as I stay oblivious to the fact that i suck i will continue to make stupid annoying and [censored] threads in which i am blinded to the reality that i am a loser at poker with the ability to blame my losses on everything but myself

Makeup necessary to be in the ballpark of fair

[/ QUOTE ]

Makeup is that I pay him back if I lose?

If so then it just wouldn't be worth my bothering. I can easily get hold of the money he'd be staking me and just play for myself and get 100% of the winnings (now that I'm playing a new iPoker skin that allows me to easily and irreversibly withdraw money).

You have no idea what makeup means.

HAD no idea, but thankfully further down the thread have had it explained to me.

Good. Then you should understand that someone playing at $25 (pounds whatever) buy-ins should never get staked.

Yeah, probably not worth bothering for such a small amount when I can easily get hold of this much myself.

i dont understand how newbs go right into plo to start a roll/play, the math is super hard compared to nl and a much more complex game even at the smallest stakes. play nl and build a roll, then lose it all at plo ok jim?
