Question for stakers

[The Camel]

Hypothetical question.

You have a horse who is £20k in make up and hasn't won a bean for over a year.

Suddenly he cops a tournament for 18k.

You know he's absolutely skint.

How much do you give him as a drink?

Do you add this drink onto his makeup?

[Dubai]

2k
yes x2

[The Camel]

2k
yes x2

What about if he didn't want to add to his makeup?

A monkey in his hand? Or is this too generous?

[Dubai]

If i was rolling just give him a bag no makeup added, if doing it in goes on makeup x2

[GreekStein]

Depends.

How hard has he worked to get out of makeup? Tried really hard?

If he got totally out, would you want to keep staking him?

How good of a friend is he outside of poker or your backing arrangement?

[Dubai]

was assuming its a decent mate thats under it and been grinding away for ages btw

Yeah, all of these questions cloud the issue greatly.

Worked really hard, harder than I would in his boots. Think he'll quit the stake when he gets even though (that's his right though)

Not sure.

Not a close friend, but someone who is easy to go for a beer/dinner with.

I think alot would depend on his actual circumstances as well...

For instance does he have a day job and so on or does he rely on poker for his income?

Has he got any exceptional expenses coming up?

Has he got a missus to keep on side?

Nah probably would just box him off tbf, but i think standard is makeup x2.

No outs, except dealing the occasional private game to keep him going.

Don't think so.

If you knew the person involved you wouldn't have asked this one. But safe to say no.

Would prob cut him free of makeup and end stake if that's what he wants or like Dave says, give him 2k and add it on to makeup as 3k.

Seems very reasonable

[action man]

you have to add it on MU x 2 

MU is $20k you borrow $2k then you cant just add $2k onto MU because you haven't lost this this 2k grinding you have borrowed it.

The point is that its a brucey bonus...

Fact is that it will probably pay for itself anyway due to the nature of MTT binkage
