Hello, my name is Giannoutas Konstantinos, I am 23 years old student from Greece. I have been playing poker the last 4 years in many different sites + live as well but during most of this time I was only playing for fun.

The last 2 years I started considering taking poker more seriously.
I started playing tournaments mostly turbo sngs 18/45/180, where I found myself being a break/even player for at least 1 year. In early 2013 though I focused even more in improving my game by studying/grinding for about 5-6 days per week, thankfully I found out that my game was idd improving and some decent scores didnt take too long to happen.

After the first 6 months of 2013 and after I had already sold a few packages on 2+2 marketplace, I was lucky enough to get in touch
with 2 great guys and amazing poker players, Aguskb and Khanrava who had been coaching/staking me for the last 5 months. With their extremely valuable help I managed to figure out plenty of my leaks and develop my skills in sngs and larger MTTS. During the last month of my collaboration with them I was running pretty hot, finally having confidence in my game and being able to watch my hard-work pay off since my losing scores have been replaced by positive ROIs in almost every tournament
format I have been involved.

Unfortunatelly, about a month ago this new thing about pokerstars.gr happened and online poker earnings will now be taxed for Greek Players. Transfers have been locked up as well and since my backers and I had decided that I would focus on the 180s mostly we decided to stop the backing cause it wouldn't be profitable for any of us the way the taxes are assigned ( I can explain the stupidity of this new tax law ,which WILL for sure kill any serious online poker action in Greece, if I am asked to).

Since then I have decided to quit playing on stars since I can for sure find softer sng fields that I can play at without being taxed and focus more in Live games till things clear out (and Taxes Holdem goes back to Texas Holdem again).

Though there is one type of tournament that I would still like to play on stars in 2014 cause I find it extremely + EV and those tours are the MTT Hypers. So thats where I am looking to get backed. I have played more than 500 of this tours in 2013 and I find myself running with a ROI over 25% according to sharkscope (I am opt-ed in ofc).

The buy ins of those tours start from 5.10$ and go up to 82$. I would be interested in playing about 30-50 tours of those on a montly basis but the variance of is too high for my bankroll atm. I wont mind to start playing only the lower buy-in levels of 5.10$ (and maybe some 25$) till I prove to the backer that I am a profitable investment.

Have in mind that I acomplished this decent 25%+ ROI while I was usually playing about 15-20 tables and in case I do get a deal for them and keep playing those in 2014 I wont ever play more than 2 or maybe 3 tours per session since I ll only be visiting pokerstars for those tours and nothing else.

I am willing to discuss any reasonable deals and volume you'd like me to pull as well.

Feel free to ask any questions either here or in PM.
