I’m looking to make $7k at the $3 blind level. I have a $10k BR. Where and what should I play? All my profit has to go to my backer. Someplace with an hourly bonus would be nice

Seven Mile or Morongo, not Vegas lol. LA 5/5 500 cap games are probably your best bet with that roll, and coincidentally they have the best jackpots. If you have to play in Vegas probably horseshoe, mandalay, Wynn. The best bonus is the lower rake at Wynn, you don’t want have to deal with dirty promo grinders.

Good luck buddy.
You better have 500 hours of free time to accomplish this, and even then it's 50/50 at best.
Being $7k deep in markup tells me a lot about your poker game.
Westgate has a $200/week bonus for 25 hours played. OMC can show you the ropes.

Lol how big is your car and can you rip out the backseats? But sure I understand that’s why I listed Vegas rooms too.

I don't quite understand the challenge - take $7K out of your $10K to pay off your backer?

then grind it back up with no pressure

It won't get you all the way there, but you should be able to make a chunk by going to Arizona and doing all the sports betting promos.

Well, you're backed for low stakes games, so I'd imagine you don't own a home and don't have kids. People without things like that tying them to a specific geographic area can, and typically do, pack up and leave and live wherever they want

The 10k is his backers. When he loses that he’ll be 17k in makeup.

Side note: I can’t believe there are still ppl out there dumb enough to get into a backing deal that has makeup

Actually, if you can rope in an SO and 1 or 2 more, you can probably get the whole 7k.

Then, as others have said, stop trying to survive at low stakes with a backer, if at all possible. It sounds like a terrible situation.

Do door dash or something and build a br just playing Friday and Saturday nights.

I cashed out 10k over memorial day weekend from uncapped 1/2 and 2/5 in vegas.

Isn't that part of the glamour of being a serious poker player?

^Well 2-5 can have a $1500 max buy-in in Vegas. Big difference between that and games with a $500 or $600 max.

wait someone gave him another $10K to grind small stakes cash out of $7K makeup? this sounds even more unbelievable
