I believe if I stake you for 50% of the buy-in then expect 50% of your winnings but don't quote me on that.It's well documented that Raymer's 5 million last year left him with only 1.9 million after paying backers & state taxes, that's a pretty big dent.

Well, taxes are going to take away nearly half of it. If Raymer came out 1.9 million ahead after paying backers, that's pretty good.Typically, if you stake someone for the ENTIRE buy-in, you can expect at best 50% of the winnings. It's not an even percentage, that would be silly -- that would mean if I were to stake someone 100% of the buy-in, I would get 100% of the profit without doing a damned thing myself. I'm sure some players can negotiate better percentages. I could see some of the more consistent players getting backed and only giving up 35%. There really isn't an 'average' that I know of. Every player and backer will be forever trying to negotiate the best deal for themselves.
