About me:

I am a 21 year old professional player who has been playing full time since 2010. In march of 2010 I started to receive backing by BaZa88. He started me off in micros and I worked my way up to solidly beating midstake-mtts. While being backed by him i have played nearly 18k games, have final tabled a WSOP, a TCOOP, and a sunday major. Over this time period i have profited over 80k while at the tables (47k from online, rest from live).

I have sold a handful of packages in the marketplace and have profited overall for investors. There are no investors who have had issues with me in the least.

Hendon Mob

WSOP package 2011

Wynn package 2012

What I am Looking for:
I am looking for a well established backer who is comfortable staking an American for midstakes + mtt's. Live and online. I am fine moving back out of the usa, but will need help with moving costs and such.

I am currently in Canada and grinding on stars, but have to move back to wisconsin in a few weeks.


Recent play:

November of 2011 I moved out of the usa to canada so I could continue to grind online. The graph I have posted below is my total play since moving from the usa to canada.

6400 of the games are mtts, with around 800 sngs. Around game 4000 (2 months ago) I started to stack my tables instead of playing them in cascade. Doing so has seen a huge increase in both my possible volume and overall profitability (over the last 2 months I have over 3k mtts played, with 28 avg buy in, 52k profits, and have also made 10k live over that time period).

Why I need a new backer:

I have been backed all of my career, it is the only way I have really been able to play poker and to pay for life expenses.

Due to moving costs and living costs I am a fairly "high variance" horse as seen by my backer. Because of this, he desires to drop me as i clear make up, or to sell my make up if there is a reasonable buyer that we agree upon. I am currently around 17k in make up.

Time and volume available to grinding:

Since moving to canada from the usa, with counting days off and time off for holidays and such, I have managed to average over 60 hours a week. For the last 6 weeks I have been playing 70-85 hours a week (currently 3rd on monthly TLB on stars, was in first most of the month).

I am very comfortable playing 45-75 hours a week, every week.

I average 16 tables while grinding, peaking at around 20-24. Over my last 2 months alone I have played over 3,000 scheduled mtts and a handful of sngs.

WHY YOU SHOULD BACK ME:

I love the game of poker. I love studying it, I love discussing it, I love working my ass off to make money from it and love becoming a better player.

I will be one of the hardest working horses you ever pick up, and one of the highest MTT volume.

Poker is more than just a game to me, it is a passion and a profession and I couldn't see myself doing anything else.

I also have a long staking history and have had positive feedback on my marketplace interactions, staking interactions, and my hundreds of hours of coaching.

Main References:
I can provide more references if need be. There are dozens of players whom I speak to daily/weekly who can vouch for my skill, for my work ethic, and trustworthiness.

BaZa88 (backer), bogan4life, p-halt, any member of my staking team and many others.

Please pm me if you are interested or have any questions. Thank you very much for your time and best of luck at the tables!

Prot is a good guy who is very knowlegable and hard working towards the game of poker. He would be a huge asset to any stable that picks him up.

The schedule i currently play is a 30 abi on stars.

I play 5fo's up to 162's daily, and 5turbo's to 109t, and up to 11r ah and 8r 2x turbo. Sundays i play the WU/Mill and the super sonic. I run around 2-2.5k in buyins weekdays and 3-3.5 on sundays. (i avg around 11 hour sessions weekdays and 14-16 on sunday)

For live i'd be rarely wanting to play 1k's/1.5k's that are local (with selling action and the backer taking a small chunk) and possibly a WSOP package (if i end up staying in the usa).

If i was able to get back onto stars i'd be fine playing the exact same stuff as i currently play, however i also would be open to playing more euro sites and running a higher abi. I am open to discussion and am very flexible.

I also have extensive experience coaching (300+ hours) and would be willing to assist stables in coaching their other horses. I also work on my game all the time and also am striving to become a better player myself.

I get coaching from Prot for several weeks now and I have the upmost respect about his knowledge about the game, amazing work ethic and coaching skills. He is very easy going to deal with and in my honest opinion a great addition for every stable.

Best of luck to you!
