so i just signed up for neverbeg, saw it mentioned a couple times here, just waiting for admin approval right now.
so i just wanted to ask people's experiences and reasons for getting staked. for me, i'm a new player(first month) and been playing lowest limit games at FTP and in a bit of a slump lately, so i thought it would be best to play with staked money rather than scared money. most of my trouble came from micro ring games(some bad beats, some stupid mistakes, like when i thought i had flopped a straight in omaha and bet out when i had only bottom pair).
since my slump i've done really well in heads-up sit & goes, won 6/8 that i played at $2 buyin, not enough to make me try the move to $5 buyin.
for 6 and 9 player sit & goes i dont do as well, probably cashed about 40-50%. after heads-up i do best in MTT's, but they are still kind of random since there are a lot of people to get through, so a lot of places to screw up/get screwed.
so my main question is what is the likelyhood of me getting staked for heads up games? seeing as how i have to split my profit, the staker would only be getting 50% on his money or losing it all. doesnt seem like a deal they are likely to make.
