Ethically speaking, do you think it is acceptable for someone to be playing at a cash game table with someone they're staking (say 50/50 of profits) if they're not softplaying each other? I have a friend who I'm staking who wants to come play th $2-$4 with me but there's usually only one game going on at the casino. Also how should I adjust my play if I'm playing against my friend, since half the money I lose to him comes back to me and vice versa?

the adjustment should be easy

just pass the money to him at the table
ignore the dealer, better yet tell the dealer to go college and grow some tits while they are there

enjoy your exit at the casino

or just use alot of winking, head nods and head shakes

I'm thinking that would be -EV. Cheating aside, what goes does it do if you when you lose to your buddy (or vice versa), you get less money back than you lost? yay rake?
