Thanks a lot for the reply! Everything makes sense and I can definitely see how no fixed timeframe might be the better solution. To be clear, my intention is not to take advantage of my friend in any way, he was the one who proposed the 70/30 split. Bear in mind that he is not a poker player, therefore won’t provide me with any coaching during the deal. Thus, I don’t think I’m incentivized to agree to a 50/50 split when I could just sign up for a cfp and get the same cut it or even better plus “free” coaching.

I'm considering staking someone for online play. I'm wondering about the mechanics of transparency and auditing of results. Let say we agree to X dollars with a standard repayment and profit splitting after that and that our agreement is scoped to specific stakes at a specific site. How do I determine what his actual results in those stakes are in practice? I assume he would share hand histories at minimum, but is asking for the account password going too far? Hand histories with results that matches the expected account balance as shown in a screen share would work, but I occasionally see hands that glitched out in hand histories and don't load, so over a large sample size I'd worry the numbers might be off? Does he have to agree not to play other stakes on that site? I worry about how to verify if that has or hasn't been the case.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, appreciate any advice at this point.

I'm new to staking and have not been on either side of the coin before, but am very. trustworthy and respectful. I find myself seeking a higher stakes cash stake for GG Poker around the 5/10-10/20 mark.

Just unsure where to start really

Thanks guys.

I would like to know how many hand I should have played to be staked in microstakes and how I should track my results
