Hey guys, would appreciate some advice.

Historically an SSMTT player since 2p2 join date. I've seen some good results the last 1.5 months and now have a backer who is putting me in some larger stuff like the 100k gtds on Bovada, Merge. We have reviewed a bunch of tourneys together etc. and he is a much more experienced player than me who played full time for 2 years at one point.

I have about $4k split online over those two sites. I'm now playing MSMTTs up to $30 BI and taking 10-15% of myself in the bigger stuff he's staking me in, so like 10% in a $250 and 15% in a 200 such that I never have more than $30 in one tourney. Another thing I should mention is I play 50NL in addition to MTTs for practice, currently winning at a good rate over 10k hands which I think is an lol sample for cash.

I have about $1k in the bank, $1.2k check on the way from Merge (and by on the way I mean it will be on its way in oh about two or three months or so), won't be paying rent for the summer, and have a part time job I do for ~ 15 hours a week paying $13/hr. that should mostly cover food/beer/recreational expenses.

I will graduate in December with an economics degree and most likely get a "real" job.

How would you approach BRM in this scenario? I'm really not sure what % of myself I should be taking in tourneys and at what BI's. Is my $30 cap BI approximately correct? Would you take a more aggressive approach? Is my approach already too aggressive for lol sample in MTT's at mid/high stakes?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and our backing arrangement has stakeback but not makeup. Backing arrangement is short term, like for the next 5 weeks until I head back school.
