Message: [QUOTE="Alizona, post: 6028770, member: 444115"] I agree with this, and it is the reason why I will always pay for my own poker. I will never seek or accept a "staking deal", and I won't even "swap pieces" with other players. Greed is a powerful thing, and all these deals between players are driven by greed in my opinion. These deals are made with the hope that it will make the players extra money, they often use terms like "reduce our variance", which is really just a code phrase for "make more money". If I always play on my own dime, I'll never run into this problem of shady characters. The only thing I'll have to guard against is angle-shooting at the tables, but I can deal with that and accept that risk. [/QUOTE]
