Hello.
Thanks for taking a look at what we have to offer, my staking partner and I promise to give our full efforts to help you benefit from this opportunity. We strive to be flexible, competitive and reasonable in what we offer. We are looking for solid players who are interested in being staked. We are open to all formats and games. If you are a winning player please apply here. For now, we would like to just stake players who are not from the United States.
I have been backing players off of 2p2 since February 2009. Since than, I have staked (with my former partner) close to 350 different people off of 2p2 alone. I play a bit of everything nowadays (live cash, live mtts, some mtts/sngs online). Most of my focus is on running a successful stable of horses though.
I am currently staking with a very well established online/live player. He plays as
smokrokflock on Pokerstars, and smokrokbyflock on FTP. He mainly plays HSMTTs but also plays HU cash and occasionally plays at 5knl+. He will be going over HH’s for people we choose to stake and giving his thought processes on hands. This is not really a offer of coaching in a traditional sense, but he will be around to talk about hands when needed.
We won’t be specializing in just one form of staking. We offer staking for SNG's, ranging from Heads-up to 180's. We have experience staking cash games as well. In the past I have focused a lot on MTT only horses. We have staked players on Pokerstars, FullTilt, and Cake. In our experience, we have formulated many different agreements to best suit the players needs. We value players who can dedicate themselves to high volume and possess a positive attitude. We never hesitate to reward the players for their hard work.
Limits we will be staking for:
Pokerstars
-$2 to $200 SNGs
-MTTs ranging from $2 to $1000
-Cash games from $25nl to $1000nl
We are also open to staking on different sites as well, but most of our staking will happen on Pokerstars.
We are able to offer many different types of deals. Most players have the desire to start with a shorter set so they can get a feel for the staking relationship and how everything works. A starting set usually lasts 1-2 weeks and helps us get to know each other. Once a player decides they are interested in pursuing a longer term deal we can negotiate terms that would be highly profitable for the players. The most important thing to us is developing a deal that allows the player to be happy. If a player isn't happy with his deal then no one will benefit from the deal. We are open to hearing all offers from players.
I will let potential candidates know in advance that certain more favorable terms are dependent on meeting the agreed upon volume requirements. More desirable terms are also contingent on the quality of references and the track record of a candidate in their desired games. We will do our best to come to an agreement with you. We are open to discuss different profit splits based on outlined profit tiers.
What we can offer:
-Great HH review from a proven HSMTT winner.
-MTT shots when things are going well on the stake. (WCOOP/Majors)
-Moving up quickly
-For players we have established a good relationship with, we allow mid set cash outs and possibly cash outs while in makeup if bills are piling up.
-A website to help keep track of everything in terms of the stake. (complete transparency)
-A forum that is for just the people we stake. Smokrok will be on there giving thoughts about hands/situations.
What I would like in the PM you send to me:
-Name on any poker site
-What games you wish to be staked for
-Any references (past staking, any business dealings)
-Are you active on PTP/P5s (any PTP gear/DNS)
-How many tables you play at a time/how much volume can you get monthly
-Any offers from others
Please post in this thread after you have PM’d me with this info. Include your screename in your post along with “PM sent”
