Staking Logistics Question

Hey guys,

Quick question. A friend of mine wants to stake me for my normal game (5/10 live NL with a BS 100 max buyin). What I was thinking was as follows: I buyin with my $100, I give him half of any profit, he covers half of all losses. So if I finish with $900 total, he gets $400 (profit = 800, of which he gets half). If I finish with -$900, he gives me $450. Does this make sense? Anything we should do differently?

10bb buy in? Is that even poker? lol.

Umm, thanks for your input. God. Does the arrangement sound logical?

Seriously... WTF.

OP: I don't think that's technically staking, that's simply you selling 50% of your action. Sounds standard.

Yeah, it sounds more like you're selling action than staking. Generally staking is just flat out giving a buyin (or long term - many buyins) and splitting ALL action 50/50, or whatever cut it may be.

Gotcha. So I'm selling my action instead. I'm doing it in a standard/fair way, yes?

JSmith2007 · #7 11-22-2007, 11:27 PM

Nope, that's pretty typical I guess you could say.

quickfetus · #8 11-22-2007, 11:32 PM

Wait, nope? What am I doing unfairly?

JSmith2007 · #9 11-22-2007, 11:41 PM

Misread that nope please. You're doing it fine.
