I have no idea why. Heres an example of his insanity, when he goes on tilt, he just cashes all of his money out. When he used to play cash games, he would win a few pots and rathole, and if he lost any pots he would not reload to a full stack. He would wait until he won it back. If he lost more than 1 or 2 buy ins hed stop playing and cash out.

I can't believe he's a winning player with that psychology. He made $30k from 1/2NL playing like that?

Anyway, you're taking advantage of his mental problems, so set the payout at however much you feel comfortable taking from your friend. If you're eating his losses take 70% of his winnings, maybe take 40% of his winnings if he's eating his losses.

Thats the thing. This staking agreement makes no sense if the other guy is eating the losses.

If the stakee is eating the losses it's not really a stake, it's a loan with a variable interest rate. I'm not sure if that's enough to satisfy Ansky's friends psychological needs.

Stake him for 50/50.

If he loses, make him eat poop. But watch out...... you might get stabbed.
