How Do I Tell my friend I DO NOT Want to stake him
can anyone give me any advice regarding how to tell a friend who's asked to be staked that I don't want to but in kind terms...
basically my friend had a bankroll and went on a really bad downswing and lost it all. I witnessed some of these sick beats and while he didn't play bad, he didn't react to well afterwards and seems to have lost his grinder ethic recently (probably as a result of wanting to constantly get this $$ back)... he feels he is the best player and can play better than anyone so he plays every hand very aggressively. so basically I do not want to stake him as I do not agree with his playing style and feel my money will goto waste... any suggestions/thoughts ??? (as far as limits go, this would either be for $500NL or 15/30 full ring...not 1/2NL or baby limits so we're talking about a decent chunk of coin, maybe ~5K or more) I've also transferred him a small amount on pokerstars ($500) which he quickly lost playing 1/2 limit and small buy in MTT's, I watched some of his play and I was not very happy with it. |

Tell him you already gave him money for a stake at 1/2. He blew it. How can you think he'll do well with 5k?

Why is it so hard to tell people what they anything that might cause conflict? Just tell him straight up that you don't want to stake him because he plays too aggressive. If he doesn't get it, tough luck

If someone that I knew wanted me to stake them I would laugh in their face. I'm guessing that somewhere on the scale of rejection there is something less rude than laughing at them that still gets the point across. Perhaps saying "no" would work.

Afraid to find out just how good a friend he is, huh? Especially since you'd be giving him his reality check/wake up call.

Tell him that you don't want to let something like money ruin your friendship if the stupid donks on party suckout on him over and over again.
