Staking What Does it Mean?

[targetguy1]

The art of staking is very simple but can be very complicated at the same

time. For me I love to stake people and love to play stakes. It gives certain

poker player a chance to play in a MTT SNG or any other poker game that

the person wouldnt be able to afford or don't want to risk losing half thier

bankroll playing. Playing small stakes is a great way to start and build a

bankroll for any player.



When you accept a stake make sure you understand the rule of the stake

before you plan on playng the stake. Many stakes are 50/50 pluse stake

back. An example of this in a MTT(50 buy in and you win 350. You would

send you staker 200 and you would keep 150. Its simple math 350-SB of 50=

300 300/2=150. You keep your 50% and you ship the staker back his 50%

plus the stake back). Also you got make sure you follow all rule the staker

give you if you are running a SNG series stake or a cash game stake. You

must follow all guide line set by the staker. If staker tells you not to move

up to $5 SNG's til the bankroll reaches $75, then that means stay on the

lower limits til you reach $75. Same rules for running a cash game stake.




Some of the big no no's not to do with a stake, is not to play cash games if

your on a SNG or MTT stake. Play only what you agreed apon. Keeping a

good relationship with your staker could lead to bigger and better stakes.

Also keep a good hand history of the game or games your playing so when

your staker has a question you have the answer. Also with the saving your

hand history you can get help most of the time from your staker or a friend,

if your having a bad run and need some question about your game. As

stated above never move up in limits you play unless it was agreed apon by

the staker and yourself. Trust is a big thing with stakes.




Last thing i will leave you guys with is the mst inportant thing about staking.

Treat your stakers money like its your own and no I dont mean play like a

donkey. People stake you because they have interest in your game and feel

you can make them and yourself money at the same time while trying to help

you build a bankroll so you don't have to grind the lower limits.

Good post.

Sums up all the key points.

The main point is treat ther money as your own.

Screw that.

Treat the STAKERS money as if it was golddust. Respect it. ITs a gift.

Very good post. I too have staked a few folks in the past, and have been

staked as well, and it is really all about being trustworthy and good to the

people who try to help you. I completely agree with eejits post, it is

golddust, and if you treat your staker(sponsor) or whoever right and do good

then there is no telling how far youll get.

I've had people stake me and vice versa.

This was a good post for people who usually

do not play stakes or know much about them.

I've played cash stakes for the most part and

it's a running bankroll the player keeps in a rail.

These can really help or hurt you depending on

the tables you choose to sit at. I think not everyone

is right to play stake but you can work your way

up to playing them for the right people and have

great staking relationships. I know I like to play

for certain people and certain people only.

Great post though, target.
