I notice for n-th time, that I don't want to sit down and grind. Poker kinda annoyed me at this point. It did happen before several times for 1.5 years. But right now, I just puke, when i sit down at HU table. And 6max i don't even feel getting in. Maybe to try out MTT's? But my goal is only profit, so I don't see point in playing MTTs.
To take a break from poker? Well, I don't know. I would, but I want to achieve my next goal, to move up to NL100 HU. Dilemma - I want to achieve goal, I have perfect time for poker right now, but I almost puke when I grind for 10 minutes. Kinda desperate right now. Any advise, pls?

guys i got a question, never been involved in any staking deals before..

I had to withdraw everything a while ago and now a friend is offering to stake me so that i can play HU SNGS.

Anyone know how deals like this are "done" ?

A couple of questions that i can think off right now...

1) what percentage should i keep and should he get from winnings?
2) If i were to have a huge downswing and lose it all, am i responsible to pay the money back ?
3) when does the deal end? If i keep winning and move up does he still get the same % ... etc...

Id appreciate some help thx..

if he's fronting all the cash, the customary chop is 50-50 on profits and obviously you dont pay him back if u get busto. My staking deal is kinda different because cwar gets a cut of profits for his time coaching me 3 hrs/week.

I'd do a 50-50 split of profits. If you're starting at the 5s or something maybe you have to make 600 or something before you have a right to your half or something (just an idea) that way you don't make enough to play the 10s and then jet.

Anyways, if this is a friend just make sure you both understand the full terms, that it is crystal clear. Even write them down or something so there's no qualms later on. But keep the whole thing as casual as possible, there's nothing worse than losing a friendship over one of you being an idiot about a few hundred dollars.

So I got myself stuck like $200 and for some reason this put me on life tilt. I couldnt play any no limit because the thought made me want to cry and hug my knees in the corner, sooo I sat down and started playing $2/$4 and $3/$6 HU razz, 4 hours later Im +$600, time to get drunk.
