Who I am
I'm Bignate904 on FTP. I currently play full time as well as run a small stable and coach my horses. I have a high success rate of turning small profit/break even/losing players into respectable winners. I'm currently looking to add hard working determined players to my team.

What I'm looking for I'm looking for players who want to get better at poker. I do glance at past stats but I'm more interested in what you're going to be doing in the future. I will work as hard as you do to make sure you get there. You need to be able to dedicate 20 hours+ a week to poker. Not only playing but learning.

(I'm willing to work with players who haven't been on the site for longer then 6 months. Please follow 2+2's rules and reply in this thread as well as send me a PM.) Anyone who doesn't follow these directions will automatically be rejected.

How to apply
I need you to send me links of your OPR. Click the links to make sure they work. You must answer all questions and follow all rules of the 2+2 marketplace. You should send me 3 complete tourney hand history's of the games or games like the ones for which you are applying via email. (Bignate904@gmail.com) I do not accept anyone without looking through hand history's. I hold 3 group lessons a week. It is mandatory you attend at least one of these lessons.(May attend all 3 and there is no cost) You will be required to send in weekly screen shots of your account. You also need to post your screen names in this thread.

Games I'm currently accepting applicants for.
I'm looking for Stars players. 1$ 45's 2.5$ 180s. I will be aggressive in moving you up. I want to teach you the ins and outs of these games and make sure you are ready to play. As soon as you show you can beat these games and I see it in your hand history I will move you up very quickly. I also allow you to mix in some MTT's up to the buy in you're allowed to play. The ratio of games must be favored highly to MTSNG.

This may not affect the Stakees but I'd just like to let any potential investors know that Bignate904 (currently playing as 'chilli1231' on pokerstars) stole $2500 from me.

We agreed the $2500 would give me 25% share of his staking group. The first few weeks went fine and he provided irregular updates which I had to constantly request. But soon after I no longer heard from him. No emails, not available on Skype.

If anyone would like his personal details/background/family member's personal details & background, just PM me.

Yes, Nathan Grow, I've done my homework.

Think you need to explain this a little better/in more detail.

Few months back Nathan Grow (P+P: Bignate904) starts a thread looking for investors for his stable.
I contact him via PM and we chat on Skype to work out the details and I send him $2500 (via PokerStars) for 25% share of his stable.
From the day I sent the money (15th Sep 2011), the only times I've received updates from him is when I've had to request it, even though the agreement was he'd provide regular updates.
Over the past several weeks I have not heard from him via email nor Skype.
I try to be lenient in case he has legitimate reason for being away from internet access but a quick search on OPR (PokerStars: chilli1231) shows he is playing poker almost on a regular basis... so NOT too busy and NOT away from internet.
What other info would you like? Happy to supply it.
