It's possible yes, but also very difficult depending on who you are.

Once you have enough posts you can request marketplace approval and there is a seeking staking sub forum.

I would recommend using your personal poker network though as proving results and trustworthiness can be hard with live poker.

What if I didn't play so many games in online. I was live reg before. But now I have some financial problems.
I will play the 888poker Easter in Aspers Stratford 440£ on 13-17 of april so is possible to have a look after my game.

It will definitely make it harder. I have had backing in the past for live cash but it was with someone I knew and had played with me in the past.

It's hard to gain an insight into someone's play from one tournament. I would recommend building some rep here then making an post in the marketplace but it will be difficult without proven results.

Yeah, I've seen him at the Vic fairly recently too.

Fired a bullet in the megastack today, cards didn't co-operate.
Slightly tilted by a guy when I called his river bet on a KQJ23 board with AQ, he said, "nice call", I show because I don't wanna be that guy, then he proceeds to show me K9. Thanks buddy.
Gonna fire the £440 tomorrow, gotta move up to where they respect my raises.

I'll be living in London for all of July 2017. Looking forward to checking out the live poker scene. Any idea if I can deposit onto PokerStars as an American on vacation?

IIRC they're quite hot w.r.t this unless you have a UK bank account.

Best bet a (very) trusting relative with a debit card

My main experience with this was the period directly after black friday so they may have mellowed substantially, but there were a large number of hoops that players who they believe reside in America have to jump through before they would let them deposit/play. Stuff like a local bank account, resident (shown with a utility bill). I think the process takes a decent amount of time too.

Hi guys
Does mixed Omaha (456 single or tripe) still run most days at the empire?
Straight omaha still only day in day out available at Vic? (excluding aspers)

No it doesn't, very hit or miss! There's a few of us who play regularly though - so we organise amongst ourselves when we'll play at empire or elsewhere.

Feel free to message me direct (I can't message atm, new profile) and I can let you know of future games

Do any low mixed games ever run in London, something like 5/5? I love playing 8-game on stars but have only ever played live mix a couple of times when it used to run at DTD.
