so i finished my first stake. here's the deal.
$150 for two weeks on absolute. i was supposed to (at my own decision) start at $6 sngs and $5 HU. around the 250 mark, i'd move up to 10+1 sngs. what actually happened, however, was that i ran like shit. i bubbled a good 50%, lost the majority of flips and 60/40s, etc.
HU helped maintain some of the br (incl a 12-1 session against one guy, lol), but i was pretty soon down to ~$60. so obv the best choice here was to move up to $10+1  .
long story short, over the last 10 days, i get the br back up. i ended it at $350, netting a $120 profit for my staker and $80 in my pocket. 80% return after only two weeks = good for him, imo. so we decide to restake, now with 50/50 split.
i had two minisessions today, 0/3 in the first, then 3rd, 1st, 1st in the second. i decided to keep track of my stats for this one, so hopefully i get some kind of valuable insight.
so tonight i should be studying for my first of two finals.
instead, i'm playing some stupid donkaments.
the $5 1am $1500 guaranteed went like this:
double up early. fold 31 straight hands. get AKs in sb, face all in from cutoff. decide the range at this level is huge, rrai. bb instacalls. cutoff shows KK, bb shows AA. gg me.
then the $1R 2am $1k guaranteed is like this so far:
first hand double bi all in with KJs manages the ez against A7o for a 4bi stack. then i proceed to get AA 4 times (!) in the next 17 hands. and i hold up 3/3 then steal blinds the 4th time. running goooooot.
the rebuy period ended 15 mins ago, i'm currently 21/178. first takes $326, so i think i'll just win.
jk 17/170 now. hit a set, like 3/5 doing that with limped pp so far.
************edit
i'm trucking this $1R now...1st/33. this raises a good question.
when i asked the staker about getting restaked, i asked about 50/50 split since i figured he'd go for it rather easily...i forgot to mention that i wanted tournaments to be excluded from the stake...i'd pay for them from my own br, but he doesn't get a cut.
of course, now there's a good chance i'll take home >$50 from this $1r...i figure i have three options.
1. tell him about the results, tell him what i meant to propose, see if he goes for it (and maybe still offer a small %)
2. don't tell him and quietly cash out these winnings
3. tell him about the winnings and chop it up, business as usual.
now i know this guy irl, we play in a regular game offcampus at school. the stake and restake were both established fairly casually. we're on good terms (ex when we set up the first stake, i offered 70/30 split in his favor and he countered with 60/40 ), don't hang out outside of poker unless we all go to the diner afterwards or something.
#1 i think is quite viable, he plays much higher limits online, seems like he'd be pretty reasonable about this.
#2 seems shitty on my part, and i'd feel shitty as well. but if i win this, 60% of 326 is a hefty sum. there's always the chance that he finds out, too. all around, seems bad, bad, bad.
#3 would be dumb if i didn't try #1 first.
i guess i'm pretty much settled on #1, then. thoughts?
obv no matter what, we'll figure out something solid for the future afterwards.
and if anyone cares, down to three tables on absolute, the 2am 1500 guaranteed $1R. 1/25.
