Howdy, I'm AngryGnomeGuy on FTP.

The recent legal issues on FTP have left my roll on FTP in limbo. I'm living outside the US but my account is still associated with my US bank account. Since I'm not sure how long it will be before I have access to my roll, I'm tentatively seeking a stake for $50NL or higher.

First off, an earlier staking thread from me (with graphs/etc): http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/13...closed-935793/ I am seeking a more standard deal, and not the deal mentioned in that thread. I am linking to that thread solely for the sake of simplifying my job here as it already contains graphs and other pertinent information about me.

Here are my results for this year, since that thread was made:



And in big blinds:



I'm up somewhere close to 10k after bonuses and rakeback. So a pretty decent start to the year for starting out grinding the micros!

What I am offering:

-I am a longterm proven winner
-I plan on playing ~50k hands per month.
-I can provide references

What I am seeking:

-Preferably a stake on Party. In contact with Party they have stated they are willing to advance my VIP status up once I verify my former black card VIP status on Full Tilt. I am also comfortable with the software, their customer support has been very helpful and clear so far, and I believe my money will be very safe and secure on Party. They also have a variety of viable deposit/withdrawal options which I can utilize in Thailand. I am willing to play on other sites but I will not play on any 'shady' sites and the site will also need to have available deposit/withdrawal options for Thailand where moneybookers/neteller are unavailable.

-A favorable deal. I am a longterm winning player, have references and am more than willing to verify my identity or whatever else you may want. I realize I'm a better horse than the vast majority of potential stakees and this should factor into the stake.

-A contingency plan should I be able to access my funds on Full Tilt again. If this happens I will no longer need to be staked, but it would certainly be unfair to the staker if I've only played 5,000 hands and am in the hole. On the other hand it would be unfair to me if I've already earned the staker tons of money and we're supposed to maintain the stake for another month. We need to have a plan in place for this situation.

-A very clear description of when/how we conclude the stake and when/how we share profits and what exactly constitutes profits.

Last time I made a staking thread I received a lot of feedback. I apologize if I was unable to respond to some inquiries. To help avoid that I'd really appreciate if you guys (and gals) could help me out with just two things:

If you have any general questions please post them in this thread and not by PM

If you'd like to get in contact on Skype/MSN/etc please provide some details of what you're offering, or at least links in the case of pro backers

Just a heads up that I'll be headed out of town tomorrow for about a week. Obligatory micro vacations every few months, oh the joys of being an American out of the US.

I'll be deciding what to do when I get back.

A potential staker just brought up something that I apparently had not really considered. How is he to transfer the funds to me? I would ideally like to fund my Party account with a wire transfer to take advantage of their first time deposit bonuses, but that substantially complicates the staking process.

I'm not entirely sure how to handle this. If anybody more familiar with staking starting with a new account has any suggestions or ideas in regards to this please post them here or PM me.

paypal, moneybookers...

Unfortunately moneybookers is unavailable for deposits to gambling sites in Thailand. I'll check out Paypal.
