HSNL Posters and Variance

[thabadguy]

Azk and me were having this discussion on AIM.
If someone were willing to stake you and pay you $1 more than ur hourly winrate or winrate/100 hands over 5 million or 10 millions hands (any well-defined measure of your winrate), i.e. you would be playing poker for him, he takes the wins and the losses, you get paid a dollar more than whatever you normally make on average.
Would you take it?

er, are you serious?

[thabadguy]

What do u mean?
I think theres some regular hsnl posters that would...a few i could think of...Ari doesnt think so.

[g-p]

i think most would... you get paid $1/hr to stop variance.

[thabadguy]

Can people post what they voted please?
I voted NO.

[T-God]

I'd say no because I hope to improve and move up. But can you clarify how long the deal would last? If I could guarantee my hourly rate for life and not have it depend on the quality of games I'd be tempted to take it.

[PoppinFresh]

Why would anyone not take this?

[McShove]

So do you get paid 1 dollar more than your past winrate that is agreed upon ahead of time?

thabadguy,

Maybe I'm misreading the post. I read it as :

"Someone makes $200/hr. I offfer them $201/hr, and no variance. I think only a few people would take this. Ari thinks no-one would take this."

Correct?

It would be so much easier to put in the hours without having to worry about winning/losing.
