I'm not a nl guy but my experience with PLO at 10 and 50 level would be that 10 is a lot more straight forward nitting up but 50 is the limit where people are looking to get more creative and thus more 3 bets, mire barrelling and etc.
Btw, do you know your staker well? Becuase of a few reasons
1) any decent staker is not putting a 19nl player into a 50 game unless he has played/ knows your game extremely well and knows you are
better than where you are now.
Another thing to note is that you have to be ok with losing someone elses money. It seems easy now but it is not when you realise that you essentially have a boss. You would also need to make sure of the deal you have. If you are responsible for any loss or if there is makeup of any kind and that everything is layed out properly and lastly only
do it woth someone you absolutely trust
Like Marginal says, be careful of what you're getting into.
I've played $100nl and $25nl tables concurrently. There's a huge difference. Less limping, far fewer flops seen, far fewer hands going to showdown at $100nl. Still fish, but they're fewer and farther between.
^this, honestly I'm not a cash player, but skipping 25nl to go straight to 50nl when you're only a breakeven (barring rakeback) at 10nl...? It just doesnt seem like a good idea. I think it would be a better idea to reduce the number of tables you play, go to 25nl, and become a winning player there before going to 50nl...
Well I guess it depends on what you mean by breakeven, I make at least 1BB+ hour and rakeback ends up being huuge and if I 16 table 50 NL JUST BREAKING even should make me around $200ish a day according to RB calculators playing around 8ish hours.
Just based off of this post, I suggest you do not take the deal
Because only winning 1BB at 10nl over a significant sample would mean that to have a ton of leaks that will be exploited at 50nl.
Or maybe I just play super tight with lots of windows?
It don't work like that
There are many people who win at a steady 0.50BB+ rate, go on PTR and start searching random people. They collect so much rake from you its crazy, rakeback ends up being so much that you can even have a losing BB rate and still make money.

At FTP RB add ~1BB/100. So yes you can lose and make money, you just can't lose much.
Seriously why post this thread if you already had all the answers before you asked the question? Get staked, move up and lose all your friends dollars. Like I said we can always use extra free money in the pool.
