Default Re: A question about staking...

yes. but on one play even that is very generous. those that give half dont do so for long. only on long term stakes do players get 50 or 60 percent and only the very best do those deals. the others that do both end up broke.
in most higher stakes staking, the player gets half and owes if he loses that half. so he gets a loan to play on and the staker gets half the action for putiing up all the money now. this is in cash games. but applies to tournys as well.
in general only friends and suckers stake anyone.
