Chris,

I"m always interested in the longer term staking propositions.

One quick question if I may.

Why do you think your bankroll only needs a 20% increase and what difference will that make to your plans compared to just using the bankroll that you already have ?

Cheers,


Leigh

and would also be interested in having 10% or so. I have something similar going on as well where I"m staked 50% of a total starting bankroll of $1000. So why not do something like that instead of only asking for 20%.

So in case you do go for something like that, I would like to reserve 10%

Hi Leigh,

It"s more a case of two things, firstly how much of other people"s money do i actually feel comfortable playing with ( i have never asked for staking before apart from very close friends). I guess i have pride and i would feel worse if i lost and lost other  peoples money than my own. Secondly is a more selfish reason being that if we have a bink then i would still want to win a decent share of it.

I haven"t been back in work long and have a certain amount of money i can put on poker sites at the moment, i would like to be able to spread whatever amount i ask for across 6/7/8 different poker sites as i don"t want to be depositing and withdrawing all the time,

If you feel i haven"t answered what you asked very well just ask again or if you have advice i am a more than willing listener :)

Just quickly.....why the change of a/c name?.....didnt think stars or tilt let u do that

hi_am_chris:
Lol childish reasons tbh to do with keeping a ranking on a site few years ago, got found out and they blocked my older account :( gutted

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

My comment on this proposal would be that if you already have a $500 bankroll (for example), selling 20% would mean getting another $125 giving you a total bankroll of $625.

The difference between a $500 bankroll and a $625 bankroll in terms of managing variance etc is going to be minimal, to the extent that I would recommend you just played off of your own cash.

Looking at the responses so far, I"m sure you will easily have enough interest to get that 20%, you just need to make sure the reasons why you are asking for it.  Some players feel they play better when they know others have an interest in their results (less spewy etc.), others use it to get feedback on their play, some want to play slightly higher stakes but aren"t rolled for it at that particular time.

If you have worries about playing with others cash, then I can understand why you have suggested 20%, but if that worries you, then are you going to be playing your optimal game ?  No one is going to come on here being critical if it didn"t work out.  I"ve had some stalking that has paid off, others that haven"t, and some that are promising good things to come.
