The thing is, I wouldn't be comfortable staking someone who can't scrape $20 together to play themselves. No offence intended to you or anyone else but can't you get a part time job and just work one shift and quit or something. Surely that's doable.

You may think $20 is not enough to play with. But every time I've completely cashed out and so had to put money on at a later date or I've switched sites I've just put $20 on and grinded 2nl for 1 week and then been rolled for 5nl. If you can't beat 2nl just that easy then you are doing something wrong. And I am not good at poker. I deposit 20 bucks because I don't like exposing my own hard earned money to poker risk and also if I have to grind up from 2nl I will value my roll more when I move up.
