Admin, please feel free to delete when I have some feedback!

A guy at work has offered to bankroll me, $1k, so I can move up to $50NL. He wants/we agreed to a return of $200 a month for 3 months, at the end of the third month he also gets his stake back. I've played these levels in the early stages of my donk poker playing, and knowing nothing about BR management I made some, lost some, made some..well you know how that story ends. I'm comfortable playing these levels, lets just say that. Add to that roll my own roll of around $370 and I'll definately be suitably brolled for this level.

My stats at NL $10, since I started playing with some semblence of knowledge is;

7k hands, 101 BB/hr, hourly rate of $10.10, stdv +11.84.

VPIP 19.7% PF Raise of 6.6%

These stats are since the 21st March 2007.

What do you think guys? Is this a wise move? I figure at the least, within three months I should have my own roll to allow me to play at $50NL, does anyone think this is a bad move?

with $10 per hour you can make that bankroll for yourself within a week... why asking for a stake?

19/6 is unbearably tight/passive for 6-max IMO.

i think something like 18/15 is probably optimal....though i can't discipline myself that well and end up around 22/17 at $100NL and $200NL. haven't played $50NL in a while now.

it's not so much about raising more hands PF....but more about re-raising more. QQ/JJ OOP facing a raise? reraise it. AK/AQ? same deal.
