I don't know what the going rate is, but would have thought 100% risk v 100% time would be maybe 60/40 to the staker.
50/50 stake and 0/100 time for a cash game would give less then 50% of the profits, after stake, to the staker I would expect.
Not sure why I am even commenting though really, as surely people here will know for sure.

I've been both a staker and stakee for some small to medium stakes before black friday....say someone gets staked $220 for $4.40 180 man sit and gos on poker stars (not sure if they even still exist) and they see what the profit looks like after all 50 buy ins are complete.
A typical stake is staker incurs all risk and profit split is 50/50 AFTER MAKEUP. Makeup is any debt incurred from previous stakes not working out.
People have their own splits so I'd say whatever feels right for Sweeper and his buddies, but this was a typical stake with the people I dealt with.
I've never staked or have been staked for cash games.

Some friendly advice, don't get in the staking game.

Some friendly advice, don't get in the staking game. More aggravation in my opinion. If a guy cant afford to buy into his own tourneys he shouldn't be playing them, good luck sweeper whatever you decide.

this staking was supposed to be a friendly one time thing cause I wanted someone to roll with me to the Casino on Tuesday and my boy was light on cash.... $150/$150, 50/50 split I offered.....Got called every name under the sun & mother fukked for an hour via text messages. LMAO. Fukk off, never again will I offer a penny
So Friday night I'm feeling good about a long +$366 session.
Tonight I go back and lose $827
Flop a set of 10's, opponent nut str8. Flop another set of 10's, opponent flops a set of queens, river boats us both up to seal the deal. Guy I view as a fish raises to $15 I isolate to $45 he shoves $300 all in, I call think worst case scenario it's a flip. It isn't, he has aces - they hold.
Looking back I gave up $115 in an error on the one where he flopped the straight and the $300 on the QQ losing to AA was garbage as well.
So yes -$827 but that session should have been -$412.
Laying low until Wed/maybe Friday, do some non poker things and see if I can clear my head and be chill for the next session.
anyone going to be at SH on Tues $300 high hand from noon-midnight..

Sweep, let's hear some more commentary on Berkey's play. I think the ez diagnosis of his play is that he's repping HUGE hands WAY too often. Cmon, who isn't picking up on that?
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

Steve, remember what I said? Making set doesn't always equate to winning hand. Painful, but the truth.

The guy is a maniac....He seems too stray from the solver strategy his camp (SolveForWhy) pushes. He also seems to hold grudges as I continue to see him lose big hands against like players. Only a matter of time before his whole camp drops him imo

Good analysis. Garrett seems to have a very good read on Berkey.
Garrett has been able to make correct lay-downs vs Berkey. If Garrett puts Berkey on a huge hand or a semi-bluff that got home...he lays it down (correctly).

If I were to model my game after anyone known to high stakes it would be Garrett in a heart beat....Papazyn has been improving dramaticaly....loving his jump from 2/5 to the nose bleeds
