Default Re: POLL: Would you want someone to stake you?

Yes, I would like someone to stake me. I'm pretty sure that I'm a winning player at 5/10 but I don't have the bankroll for it. So I can sit and grind out the 5/10 bankroll by playing 2/4 for another two months or so, but it would certainly be faster and more profitable to get someone to stake me 10K and then to jump right into the 5/10 games.

Hm, I have the opposite problem, where I am overrolled for 2/4, but the times I've played at 5/10 I feel like I've been playing scared and in a style that is not mine, and not a winning one. I actually thought about offering to stake you, but it would be a bit weird to stake someone to play higher than myself, and 10k would be a fair chunk of my br.

I definitely wouldn't enter into a staking agreement with someone for whom losing the 10K would make as large of an impact as it sounds like it would for you. When I tilt off half my BR, I would need a backer who wouldn't flip out! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Edit: If you want to discuss options for helping you beat 5/10, though, definitely feel free to PM me. Getting your own game to the point where you feel confident at 5/10 will certainly be the best long term solution for you.
