How does staking usually work?

[Talking Poker]

I like staking - both ends of it.

If you stake proven, winning players, even with them keeping half of what they win, you should make a profit in the long run - without even having to play!

And being staked is great. Sure, you only keep half of what you win, but it's with ZERO risk. It's like playing nothing but freerolls.

yup alot of the top tourney players play staked. Didn't know that until recently.

Nice that u don't have to go thru 5-10K downswings on your on bankroll
