I'm currently playing on a stake. A friend has put up ten buy-ins for 25 NL 6-max at FullTilt. I can bust the roll and owe him nothing, and he keeps half my profits for himself. It's a good deal, but I really want to be moving up, and playing someone else's money just isn't as motivating. That said, I just hit a milestone with my stake. I currently have a little more than $400 in my account. All it took was one good session and some rakeback, and the roll shot from $250 to $400 in two days. Breaking even for some time before that was less fun.

Hopefully I can get to $500 without a sweat. Then the question becomes if he lets me have a stab at 50 NL, and if he's not, is he going to let me do it once I get to $750? If I get to $750, and I can't take a stab at 50 NL, I'm tempted to cash out my 10 buy-ins for 25 NL, and play my own money again. I might attempt to get a 50 NL stake through twoplustwo, but I doubt I'll get that having only played 25 NL.
