Default Questions you would ask to see if a player is worth staking

Lets say you have some spare money on your hands and you are looking to stake someone long term for mtts . And you knew a friend who knows how to play poker and has played online before. But he didn't played much, and only played mtts.

What question or questions would you ask to determine if he was worth staking.

An example of a question could be a hand history question that involves a particular common spot that people make mistakes in.

Basically you only have a limited amount of questions to ask to test the guy if he's worthy of getting staked.

So if someone who hasn't read hoh1 and 2 it's an automatic disqualification?

I would check his sharkscope, OPR etc...
If he hasn't played much I'd ask to shadow his play for a day maybe...see what he's doing right or wrong...
Ask about his financial situation, why has he left himself in the position of having to get staked, does he tilt etc...
If you do stake him, what stakes will he play, game type etc..

You could always give him a week trial or something...

of course not, but if has read it, it's certainly a plus.

I've lost 120k staking in two years I really don't recommend it unless its 1% of your roll.
