I'm seeking a 20-buyin stake to grind up from 50$ buy-in NL 6-max cash games on pstars.

My pstars account is KingMedicine.

I have never been staked before. Many of the long-time posters here might remember me as I was very active in the MTT forums from about 2-5 years ago. The only 2+2er I know in real life is Zinzan (also used to be a quite active and respected poster).

I'm more than happy to give out my basic personal information (phone, email, facebook, msn, etc.) to my staker. Also, I'd be more than willing to speak with my staker on the phone as much as every other day for status updates, etc. There is no way I'd rip anyone off for a grand (or any other amount) and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to prove that to my first ever staker.

My poker history is that I started playing seriously about 6 years ago and came across 2+2 about 5 years ago. I was an SNG "pro" (whatever that means) on party and the associated skins for a few years until Bill Frist stuck it in me. At that point I was playing about 100 22$ and 33$ SNGs a day, everyday. Additionally, around this time I was playing a lot of MTTs and had some nice high 4-digit scores (they were less common back then than they are now). For the last couple years I've only been playing sporadically online due to law school, crazy xgirlfriend and working at a law firm.

My personal bio, briefly, is that I graduated from UC Berkeley with an English BA. I went to law school for a while, dropped out (to play poker full time), and then after a bunch of time working in a law firm, decided to go back to law school last year. I'm in my second year right now.

I currently don't have a real world job and have been relying on the last of my savings and school loans to live. I have a TON of free time and want to get back to playing full time, but real world expenses have made it hard to free up money.

As for stats, my PT database died with my last computer. A couple weeks ago I played 4k hands or something on stars that you can find on pokertableratings.com (search for KingMedicine for pstars). I played well and admitted ran hot, but at least it's something you can check out.

My plan is to find a 1k stake for 20 buyins at 50$ buyin NL 6max on pstars. I want to grind this stake up to 3k, give the staker back the stake of 1k, then the additional 1k spilt and then have 1k left for myself. Ideally, I'd like to end the stake at that point with the staker having doubled his money. I expect to grind from 1k-3k within 2-3 weeks. If the staker likes what he sees, I'd be open to a larger stake so that I can play in the bigger (100$ buyin/$200 buyin) games. All that can be discussed directly with me.

Since this is my first staking deal please let me know if there is something I'm missing.

Thanks!

I would just like to say, if you don't get any staking offers (I'm near 100% certain you will) I will happily stake you at the end of the month, when i have some spare funds available.
