Staking

When you have no time to play poker, you can have other players play for you. At www.parttimepoker.com you can either stake player or be stake by others.

I've tried staking players for small amounts to understand the whole system and I plan on staking more players more often. The great thing about online poker is being able to see updated statistics on players through many sites. One site I go to view player statistics is http://www.officialpokerrankings.com. I use that as a tool to pick the player I want to stake. So far I didn't have anyone get into the money for me yet but hopefully that'll change.

Today I'm staking A-D-Tang for a $2.20 NLHE 180 man Turbo. I post the results afterwards.

A-D-Tang was one place away from getting in the money. A-D-Tang placed 19th out of 180. I'll most likely stake this player again for getting so close to cashing. So far I'm 0/7 cashing from staking.

Ending Bankroll: $91.73
