Hi guys,
first i will show you my case and framework, then my questions (makes most sense
)
I am playing NLHE more then twelve years, online and live. My main games are live cash games, but I have an online background. Also I am playing online (on apps these days) and tourneys sometimes (live and online).
One year before corona i played up to nl2k live. Unfortunately I had a massive downswing over months, then corona came and all live action dried out....my costs went on ...
Now these days I had to move down in limits, playing nl400 and nl500 live on my own.
Last weeks different guys (all of them I know, some of them are friends) came to me and offered me staking. These guys are not experts in staking and I am also a staking fish (know just basics ). My reputation is pretty good in my small poker network, and these guys know I definitely beat these stakes and tourneys which I wanna play...
My questions:
1. case: I wanna make an offer to my friends for staking for live tourneys. Range from 1k-2k buy ins. Tournament poker is not my main game, but I am pretty sure I beat these buy ins. Unfortunately I do not know my roi because of samplesize. Which mark up would be fair for both ? 1.2 ? 1.3?
I dont know..
2. case: before corona I travelled a lot, played mostly in Cyprus, but also in the USA and Europe. In december I will play in Belgium, and when I am lucky they will have a 10/20 game 2-3 times during the event. Which kind of staking would make sense short term? Makes it sense to sell action like in tourneys? for example I play a session with 400bb buy in max (8k total) and sell shares of it with a mark up like in tourneys?
3.case: a guy I know (not a friend) is making private games, they play 10/10/30...strange blinds, I know. He said he wants to stake me but there is no concrete offer. I was thinking about this, but I am not 100% trusting it. The only case I can imagine to play in these games is not playing with my own money and without a make up! Anyone has an idea which kind of staking would make sense?
4.case: the guy who is making these private games is also agent of a bigger pokerbros club. So I gave 25 buy ins for starting nl100 (6-10 Tables running hole day). Games are pretty soft, rake not, anyways profitable. The next higher limit (nl200) same amount of tables are running . My goal is to reach nl200 at the end of december (30-35 buy ins) and play on my own.
Would it make more sense to get staked directly for higher limits? And if, which kind of staking would make sense for me? which cut?
A lot of text and a lot of questions...
I apologize
Thanks for your help and..
regards and good luck at the tables
