Buddy willing to stake me 500... take it?

[luckycharms]

Ok, I am a well read, fairly experienced poker player, but I have NO bankroll. I spend all my winnings on dates/college/food/party stuff. Anyways, my friend has offered to give me $500 to play with at Turning Stone Casino or online. The terms are that if i lose it all, I have to eventually pay him back $250, but however much I win, i give him 25%.... I have the potential to win a lot, and I think it's a good deal for me. Thoughts?

Assuming that I am a proven winning player, and have recently gotten more consistent with my play and winnings, is it a good deal for him?

I'd bonus whore online for a few months, then give him his $500 back with a little interest on top. Don't give him 25% forever.

theres a reason you have no bankroll. you have been dubbed "-EVan" by your friends.

note: evan is actually a solid poker player when he wants to be, but literally has NO bankroll management and tilts after the smallest of beats. not to say that im not very prone to the aforementioned traits, but no one is staking me.

This is the greatest nickname ever.

RIDICULOUS

I have been nicknamed +EVan (pronounced positive E-V-A-N)... I don't go on tilt, and have great bankroll management. Unlike my friends, I'm not a saucy little richboy and don't get BRed by my mommy. As a compliment to my skills, I have positive W/L ratios playing heads up with EVERY SINGLE ONE of my friends, including MightyMouse and BobboFitos

Yes, you have stellar bankroll management. Apparently, your definition of BR management and every other serious players definition is a bit different.

For someone that doesn't tilt, you sure get angry easily.

I say bad idea for your friend.

[MightyMouse]

if you have such good bankroll management why do you play 10 dollar rebuy tournaments with less than 100 in your account?

also, how much money could you possibly spend on chicks and booze that it amounts to more than you make in pokah.
