Stake deal

This article belongs to the Poker Articles series.
I was approached the other day by my good friend MaddyUK who wanted to discuss a possible online poker stake deal. Maddy has previously grinded 1/2$ shorthanded cash games with good success and I know him to be an extremely disciplined player so obviously I was interested to hear what he had to say.
Turns out he is highly motivated to get back in the game but hasn’t started due to a lack of necessary funds to start up an online poker bankroll. Maddy’s timing was perfect since I have 1000$ of risk capital lying around perfectly suited for an online poker stake deal.
Here’s what we agreed on:
Starting bankroll: 1000$
Revenue share: 50/50 for the 1000$-6000$ profit interval
Limits:
- 1000$-1500$ : 0,25/0,5. If the bankroll drops below 500$ the project is stopped. Between 500$ and 1000$ Maddy will continue to play on the 0,25/0,5 tables.
- 1500$-3000$ : 0,5/1. If the bankroll drops to the interval 1200$-1500$ Maddy will continue on the 0,5/1 tables. If the bankroll drops below 1200$ he will move down to the 0,25/0,5 tables.
- 3000$- ? : 1/2. If the bankroll drops to the interval 2400$-3000$ Maddy will continue on the 1/2 tables. If the bankroll drops below 2400$ he will move down to the 0,5/1 tables.
Daily stop loss: 2 full buyins at any given level
I would not recommend people to do stake deals unless they know the person they will be staking really well. I have known Maddy for more than 20 years so there are no trust issues whatsoever.
You can follow the progress of the bankroll building project on Twitter (pokerBRBblog and MaddyUK) and I will also post regular updates here.
Wish us luck:-)

What Mark does not know is that I will combine bankroll building with the skills/principals of Loco poker…

I have still not found a place to start the bankroll building. Might as well place the money where I get the best rakeback or poker bonus.
Wish me luck!

Good to see you’ve got some terms laid out well. I love doing 1 time deals and freerolls for people just for the gamble. Last time I tried to do a prolonged staking deal with a friend it didn’t go so well so I usually advise against any long term staking arrangements. I guess if your horse is tame it’s ok.
Maddy, stop waisting time writing comments on blogs and start playing poker instead.
I want to get rich soon:-)

Status on the stake deal so far: about -100$ I think.
Maddy hasn’t had time to play that much at all. Hope this changes in the future.

I don’t really understand why you give him 1000$ and make him stop playing if he goes below 500$ – Why not just give him 500$?

Hi Jake
Well giving him 500$ would just mean he would start on a lower blind level.
The 500$ limit is to incorporate some kind of stop loss into the project.
