Default Re: staked at a home game

[ QUOTE ]
i am currently being staked by the guy who runs the game. $300 buy in, $1/2 NL. he doesnt deal the game, usually a dedicated dealer. he takes whatever loss, split the winnings 50/50.just wondering if this is ethical, since its his game.

Does everyone that plays know of this arrangement? Do both of you never collude intentionally or implicitly (mainly on his part, since when 2 of you are in a hand his EV is greatly improved)?

If no, then it's unethical. If yes, and people don't care, then you might want to ask yourself WHY everyone is happy with your playing under those conditions :P
