If it is OK to generally discuss here, does anyone have any advice on getting staked, be it online or live. How is the best way to go about it? What kind of general results are you expected to have before getting staked and what sort of things should you expect?
1. show you are a decent player at the level you can afford so that someone would be tempted to stake you at a level you can"t
2. Join a forum, contribute meaningfully to discussions, diiscuss hands, i.e. aim to build up a certain level of trust
3. put requests for stakes on staking threads, making sure you have read other staking threads to get an idea of what you should be putting in your request.
Alternatively, after step 1, try staking sites such as Chipmeup
Results can be mixed before getting staked. Some staking sites have coaches who will want to run the rule over your game before deciding
a) if they should stake you or not
b) what the terms of the stake should be
First question, I would normally ask is, "why do you want to get staked?"
Normally I happily buy shares in people who I know and are taking a shot and most people who are willing to part with dough take this stance.
Getting into some long term staking arrangement can be very draining, for lots of reasons for both parties
