Title: Newbie staking question Post by: mikeymike on January 28, 2015, 11:30:40 PM Hi all
I understand and respect the forums rules on staking. I shall be when i have completed probation and complied with the forums rules be looking to stake some players. As i know very few people in the poker community (unsociable mf my Mrs says, i just say miserable git) is there a thread that shows the results of staked players.

Then you can take a look and decide if you like the spot and ask to take whatever % you are comfortable with. Nice when you bink big, but keep it to small pieces that don't sting too much until you have a good feel of what can and does happen.

Are they trustworthy? Are they a nice guy? Do we have a chance of a return? There are some people when I back them I think it's mainky a financial decision and others provide a good sweat or they are my friends and it's nice to have a piece. If they win you win, then you can drink beer!!

Would you be able to be happy for them?

Would you be able to be happy for them? I would back the majority of players at different skill levels and different buy ins whether i liked them, knew them, didn't know them or didn't like them. We all need a helping hand now and then.
