Offering stakes for mid-highstakes mtts - Staking -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

mement_mori · 09-27-2011, 10:19 PM

Hey guys

For those who don't know me my name is Mickey Petersen and I play online mtts/steps exclusively. I am also a longtime member of 2+2, an instructor at Cardrunners and a member of Team Stars Online.

I have a stable of around 10-12 guys that I all try and work closely with, do occasional hh reviews with, we have a skype chat running and often discuss hands etc.
To put it another way my approach with staking is more quality over quantity and so I am only looking to add one or two people to the team for now, after that il close the thread and when I feel it's appropriate il to expand again I will reopen it.

I have a pretty busy schedule and don't have enough time to respond to everyone so if I don't respond don't take offense, it just means that you are not what I am currently looking for.
I WILL get back to you if I am interested within a couple of days so please don't send me more pm's if I dont reply to you. Also PLEASE don't pm me once this thread is closed, I am still recieving pm's from my old thread and it's a waste of both your and my time

What I am looking for:

- I am currently not looking to stake americans who are not able to play on pokerstars, if are american and haven't relocated it's unfortunately not what I am looking for at the moment.
- people who have been a member of the community for at least six months, are active on 2+2 and have people that can vouch for them.
- people who actually play mid-high stakes mtts or at least are very close to, if your avg buy-in is under 20 dollars it's not what I am looking for.
- people who aren't stubborn and are willing to admit mistakes, have an open mind and are willing to learn.
- people who are overall winners in tournaments when all their screen names are combined.
- people who are able to put in a decent amount of volume.

Info I want you to include in the pm

- All your screennames across the sites, including eurosites + hendonmob profile
- Who are you references, if you don't have any your chance of being backed is nonexistent.
- a brief summary of your poker career so far.
- what your main games are and what you would like to be staked for.
- How much volume you will be able to put in on a monthly basis (please don't exaggerate because I will check up on this) and how many tables you usually play at a time.
- what kind of % split do you think you would be fair?
- how old are you and what kind of commitments (job, study etc) do you have?
- anything else you think might be relevant

If you don't even take the time to answer those things thoroughly then you are not the kind of horse I am looking for, please keep that in mind when you reply. Also please post "pm sent" in this thread + your screenname after you have sent me the application.

What can I offer you?:

- I have had success at all stakes in online tournaments and will be able to help you improve your game no matter what stakes you are playing.
I am reliable and a trusted member If you end up getting into a more longterm deal with me I am also well connected in the poker community and might be able to help you open up even more doors for you in the future.

- While there is no set amount of hhs involved in the deal (I am often very busy travelling and grinding) I do go over horses hand histories from time to time and I am always available for thoughts on individual hands. As I mentioned before I also have what I consider a really good Skype group going where some very good 2+2er are involved and hands are often discussed.

- I will help you come up with a good grinding schedule that will be aiming at maximizing your income and will be evaluated and improved whenever you or I feel like it.

What kind of games can I offer you?

Well pretty much everything! I back people up to 1ks and 200rs and people for midstakes/180s as well. I have put people that I trust in a couple of bigger live events as well for both EPTs and WSOP events so if we build up a good relationship that is possibility as well.

Thanks for taking the time everyone and dont hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!

ps.PLEASE only contact me here on 2+2, I get a lot of requests on Facebook and they are all immediately deleted.
