A few famous 2p2ers can also vouch for me.

Hello all...

I'm looking to play the $106+9($115) satellite for Sunday 500....one in every 5 players makes it to the $530 buy-in Sunday 500

You guys can buy a piece of action for $5...there would be 23 shares in all. I would like to keep 20% of the winnings for my effort and the greater 80% is for the dear stakers

Once I get into Sunday 500, and we consider there would be 1000 entrants, 144 places would get paid..

- if I get into the prize money I would be sure to get 0.17% * 500,000 = $850
- if I get into top 10 I would get 1% * 500,000 = $5000
- if I get into top 3 I would get 10% * 500,000 = $50000
- if I win the tourney...I would get 18.25% * 500,000 = $91250

If we take the minimum prize scenario when the winning is $850, you staker friends get $680 and I keep $170. It would be a really good ROI....for every $5 you invest you will get $29.50 in return, i.e. almost 6 times your stake

If I get into top 10 and better, you would have more than decent winnings to pocket..

As a background...I don't have impressive stats to show, but I would like to mention that I won a ticket to the SCOOP $10,300 buy-in Main Event, was 1st among a pool of 894 entrants....was placed 190 at the SCOOP main event in a field of 502 entrants

I like the big events as I'm comfortable with the 20mins+ time between levels, which gives me time to play my best game. Looking to play the bigger events and perform to the best of my abilities. If you would like to stake, this is your chance...who knows you could help me achieve a bankroll that would let me stake some more upcoming players like me !!

Start booking your stakes now...you can send your $ to "yetmetsetsee" on Pokerstars

Thanks and good luck !

Seeking $3.40 10 person 1 table turbo SNG stake on Stars

Through 123 games (see Sharkscope), profit looks around $135. This was done playing 6-10 tables at a time, so I can grind pretty well. That's a 32% ROI, which I'd imagine is pretty good considering the fact that its only 10 person tourneys. Sure I don't have the volume, but I've worked to improve my game, and the results showed in those tourneys, which shouldn't be a very high variance anyway. PM me if interested, and I'll try to work something out. I'd imagine I could play about 35-50 games per day. (1000 games/month would be reasonable I'd imagine)

Stars name is jointflopper too btw.

I really just can't afford to play with my own money now due to certain circumstances, but I dont see why I wouldn't be +ROI.

I am a semi-professional poker player that has recently started taking online tournaments much more seriously. Unlike many here, I actually got my start playing live and then made the transition to online play over the last few years. I've been very successful and profitable playing both live and online.

I have a MBA that has been a complete waste up to this point in my life (except for a few small personal business ventures). I am going to make poker my business for a few years and give it a "fair shake". I have read nearly every poker book out there - I am a particular fan of Harrington & the Poker Tournament Formula books (for MTTs). I have attended Joe Navarro's seminar on poker tells.

I often get asked about my “style” of play. And the answer I always give is that I don’t have a “style” of play – I adapt to the players at my table and play a “style” that best works for the type of players I am sitting with. I can sit back and be very patient, and I can kick it into overdrive. I truly believe my ability to shift gears is my greatest strength.

Bottom line is that I am educated, skilled, confident and hungry - a backer's dream-come-true.

I have over $80k in live tournament cashes in larger buy-in events (documented on cardplayer.com) while playing very limited schedule. I have about another $40k in live cashes from smaller buy-in events that were not tracked by any website (mostly local tournaments).

I have had pretty good online success since taking it more seriously over the last year playing mostly medium stake tournaments. I have a 286% ROI on cakepoker playing MTTs with nearly $18k in profit. Over the last month I took down a $77 buy-in tournament on Stars for $5k, and I won $55 1R+1A on FTP for over $6300.

I am friends with # of very successful professional poker players that I have had the privilege of discussing hands and poker ideas with over the last few years. These include Dean Hamrick (MSUsFinest), Tony Garagano (DrunkPPlaya), Justin Scott (bracelet winner), Jamin Stokes, & Sam Oberlin (wsop circuit main event winner Chicago).

So, many of you are probably thinking "So why do you need a backer?”. Well, while I am very confident in my ability to win playing poker, I still have tilt issues online where I go on massive tilt sessions playing cash games (online), and these spew sessions have hurt my bankroll tremendously. I'm also a sports betting degenerate who managed to lose a big chunk of my bankroll betting on basketball and recently baseball. I am upfront and honest about my issues & problems - I know acknowledging them is the first step in overcoming them, but I am still working on that. I’ve also had a couple of business ventures flop recently and I lost a pretty good chunk of $ in the most recent market collapse.

Finally, variance is a bitch, especially in big-field MTTs, so using a backer will hopefully allow me to weather my recent spew-tilt issues in my quest for a huge online or live score.

I am looking for a backer for # of events at this year’s WSOP, and possibly some of the Venetian Big Stack / Caesar’s MegaStack tournaments that fall during that time period. I propose a 45% (me) / 55% (you) + stake-back (make-up). I would also request a 50%-50% split on any final table.

I am also open to playing other live events or online events beyond the WSOP (I plan on being in Vegas from late May until end of series if I secure a backer). I live close to Chicago & Detroit, and those casinos often offer bigger tournaments such as the Heartland Poker Tour. I’m also willing to travel to play in big-field / big buy-in events beyond the WSOP. I'm also open for backing in bigger buy-in online events ($200+).

I am willing to sign a contract that outlines all terms of the deal.

Finally, I want to apologize for my lack of posts. I've lurked and read threads at 2+2 for YEARS, but my quest for a backer has finally lead me to post. I am trustworthy, and I can provide references from people I know in the poker community if needed.

For more information please PM me here or email me:
pokerplayer072@yahoo.com

DO NOT STAKE HIM. Our staking agreement was NOT succesfull. He owes me $400 still. I repeat do not stake him, no matter what he says.
