1-10, is this crazy or not? (Poker)

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) May 12 '22, 10:41

I am considering staking a well known poker pro at the upcoming WSOP with 0% markup

Definition of staking - pros will typically sell a portion of their buyin cost and distribute any profit at the same %. Sometimes the more well known successful players charge 5-15% markup and people will still buy.

I guess it depends on the player and how deep they have to go to cash. It seems weird that an established pro would do this. - zunk xometimes May 12, 11:09
1). Just assume it’s lost. If you’re okay with that… -- nm - Will Hunting May 12, 11:08
I personally haven't done it, but I know friends that have. -- nm - MDH May 12, 10:54

depends on the pro. are they trustworthy (is it a contract)? How much is the investment? (don't play if you can't afford to lose) - Beaker May 12, 10:47
no more so than playing the lottery with the same amount of money -- nm - decline May 12, 10:42
