Questions about staking/coaching

[Talking Poker]

Strange scenario, for sure.

I don't see what the ones he is playing and you are not have to do with anything, so let's forget about those. You should only be thinking about the tourneys he is buying you into.

As for the Skype coach, be careful with that, for sure. Having someone watch you play and discuss hands after the fact is one thing, but if he is making the decisions for you, I'm not sure why you are even involved here. The backer should just stake the coach. But ignoring that too...

It depends on a lot of things, like your stats, for starters. I can't give you a number without knowing how good of a player you are. If you are a proven winner and crush these stakes, you can justify a higher cut. If you don't have the experience or are a long term loser at these stakes, obviously you should be happy with whatever you can get.

In the end, it comes down to whatever you and the backer agree on, and the deal with the guy on Skype should be between you and him (but like i said, I don't really get that anyway).
