I was paying some attention to the “Hacker challenges Lou” thread. In that thread, the Hacker mentions at least once, but I think more than once, that he will not let people learn from him “cheap”. Fair enough. I suspect many of Hacker’s lessons were expensive, so he thinks other should experience the same torture. I understand.
My question is this: What is cheap?
Suppose I am moderately skilled amateur (I am…very moderately skilled) and I approach a road player or pro player (The Hacker, Dr. Bill, Ike Runnels, whoever) and I want to match up, so I can learn against a player of a much higher skill level, and I want to match up a game where I can stay in it. That is to say, I am not suggesting that I simply donate to this player—I want some competition, so I am going to need a significant spot.
What is the minimum bet for this situation?
What is the minim bet if I agree to play even?
Recently, I feel like my game has picked up from regularly sparring with a player that is close to an open player. Of course, I get a big spot, but if I wanted to approach others with something like this, I am not sure how much I have to bet. Advice?
