ThePokerBackers are an extremely professional and successful staking group founded by
Yeti and Jay., two long-term 2+2ers with high-stakes backgrounds and impeccable reputations.
What we offer
We offer MTT backing ranging from small-stakes to high-stakes. All our deals include long term incentives, monthly competitions with bonuses, sophisticated results tracking and expert guidance.
Our philosophy is to give the dedicated, smart player the opportunity to excel with our resources and guidance. We make all our decisions based on the player’s improvement, performance and ability, never letting random short term variance or luck cloud our judgement.
The learning environment we have created is extremely educational and will enable rapid improvements for committed studying players. All stakees receive monthly one-on-one coaching from our elite coaches and access to our private forums and strategy discussion. Our content is designed to quickly improve the most important and most profitable aspects of a player’s current ability.
We’re fortunate to work with amazing coaches who we’ve chosen based on their deep understanding of poker fundamentals and their ability to articulate this to players at all stages of their poker career.

Quote:
I joined this stable 7 months ago and have nothing but high recommendations in every possible aspect.
I have been working closely with HR_Dub and bearsfan775 throughout, and I cannot emphasize enough how much my game has improved as a result of their coaching. I have put in a lot of hard work and with the help of the team have managed to move up in stakes rapidly and successfully.
Last month I extended my deal with ThePokerBackers for another year, as I'm really pleased with the stable overall and can't see myself playing for anyone else at this time.
