anyone who get staked is obviously a losing player ( due to not having enough money to play). so if I lost money i wouldn't feel bad, because the person who staked me probably doesn't care about money, because they are staking someone in the first place. They are probably just doing it to look cool or w/e.

yeah cuz you know you can only use money to play poker, sorry i forgot you can't blow rolls on cars, houses, drugs, bitches, or gambling. stupid me.

This might be a dumb question, but what is a common staking deal?

If I want to stake a good friend of mine, who plays better poker than I do and with that he plays higher limits than I do, does a usual staking deal go 50/50? And if he loses he doesn`t have to pay it back?

Sorry for being such a newbie in that case.

That's usually how it works, but ultimately it's up to the person staking.

Ive been staked a couple times in the past, and we work on a 70/30 profit split with me getting 70% and total control on what stakes and games to play he trusts me and my judgment that much.

Ive also made that backer a boatload of cash under this system and everyone involved is happy.

The reason ive needed backing has always come about from either moving or clearing debt etc. Also if you can beat XYZ stakes, but are only rolled for like 1/10th of those stakes then its clearly +EV for both parties.

It should either be a friend helping a friend or a business relationship between two people who trust one another. Or a mix of the two.

There should never be an expectation that someone will lose out or that one party is looking to screw the other over.

I deposited 500 of my own money to cover the losses.

this is about the only thing you should feel bad about imo.

he made a risky investment. it didnt pay off. it probably hurt you more than it hurt him (as if you had run good you would have had money to start your own roll now).

dont stress it....

If a high stakes player a very nice guy somewhat of a friend to you, decided to stake you 5K for nl200 and you lost it would you feel bad?

Who stakes someone who makes such poor decisions on placement of apostrophes? I shudder to think what kind of decisions you make with middle pair.
