Spanish term or phrase: ir bancado
Buenas noches. Tengo una pregunta acerca de un término especifico en el campo del Póker (sí lo sé, un poco raro)

La oración el la siguiente: Por mí experiencia remarco que al ir bancado es más costoso construir una banca propia, al sobrepagar tu aprendizaje.

Explanation:
I am putting a low confidence level on this as I am not a poker player.

Bancar a un jugador significa poner dinero por él para que pueda jugar en un torneo o en una partida por dinero. Las ganancias se dividen entre el bancado y el que banca.

staking
Staking is the act of one person putting up cash for a poker player to play with in hopes that the player wins. Any profits are split on a predetermined percentage between the backer and the player. A backed player is often known as a horse.

It may come as a surprise to you, but a large number of tournament poker players ... are staked.
