Hey everyone. My name is Rui and I'm from Auckland, New Zealand. I'll start off with references, I don't have much history here, but I have staked a fair amount in the marketplace. I know a 200NL reg on Stars in real life that should be able to vouch for me, but other than that not much history here.

I am looking for someone to stake me in 25NL. I play on Stars under the username OMGClayDol but as you'll probably see my PTR looks pretty bad. I am running about $100 below EV (which is quite a lot for the stakes I play, 5NL/10NL and very little 25NL just starting). I have HEM, Ventrilo, MSN, Skype and Teamviewer.

I grinded $50 up to $450 since I started but lost about $100 in staking on 2p2, leant $100 to someone who it seems may likely not give it back and also have $140 owed from zhaorx.. I played 2NL/5NL/10NL and $1/$3 9Man STTs as well as some occasional HU sngs. In short I have very little left in my account and that is the main reason I am asking to be staked.

I am pretty flexible and will be happy to consider any offers, I would be more than happy if coaching came with whatever deal anyone can be offered but if not I am a keen learner myself who has commitment to the game.

If anyone is the least bit interested in considering please PM me
Questions etc welcome also.

Will be happy to provide drivers license/facebook to potential stakers if that helps.

EDIT: Currently for tables I 15-20 2NL, 12-15 5NL and just 3-4 25NL. (but I have played very little 25NL due to my situation explained above). I'd want to stay at 3-4 for a while and eventually increase the number. Again this is where coaching/help can help but yeah I am confident to succeed on my own also.

Edit: I am an honest person and as you may have seen I have asked for stakes in two or three places. Rest assured I will not be taking more than one staker.

Hi, I'm a 23 year old male looking for a backer for shorthanded and/or 9 person sngs on UB and eventually MTT's as well, or obviously another site just most familiar with UB. I enjoy playing poker and believe that with a little bit of a roll and some good direction can begin to take it more serious and possibly make a living out of it. I feel most comfortable playing my best at about between 6-8 tables and about 8-12 hours a day, but I have just never had the roll. I think obviously playing the higher volume would mean greater profit. I will admit that I am very new to this, (staking/ looking to be staked) having never been staked, but I am a trustworthy person. We could obv. discuss details on percentages and stuff, I'd be virtually open to just about any offer to get back playing, building a bankroll, and gaining trust within the poker world and 2+2 community even if that means like a %75/%25 for you. Feel free to email me at capitols1414@aol.com if you have any kinda questions or advice. I know my stats aren't the best in the world but, they are profitable which is all that matters I guess. I don't really have references within the 2+2 community as I'm new, but I'm looking to gain reliabilty and references, so like i stated before I'm VERY open to percentages. Hope to hear from you soon. I also have AIM, and msn, if you would like to chat, I would like that a lot.

Also Dustyplug21 on FT, very few games put a profit there as well as high ROI.

Games Played Av. Profit Av. Stake Av. ROI Total Profit FormAbility /100 Network Filter

352 $ 1 $18 11% $445 - 72 Cereus SNG Only

Dustyplug14 on UB/2+2

Also, and I don't know if this is relevant, but I would feel most comfortable with squaring up at the end of every day with backer, just to gain trust. After awhile when trust is gained it would be up to backer as to how they want to run the deal.
05-21-2010 , 02:53 PM
^^Also wondering if anyone woul d be interested in some short term or one time staking for some medium buy in MTT's. 80/20 cut for backer, or even full profit to backer just to start a reputation.

My name is Ross & I am a 28 year old grinder from New Orleans Louisiana. I have primarily played live cash games @ Harrah's New Orleans for the past 7 years, but lately I have been attempting to make the transition from live cash to online tournament play. My sample size of mtt's & sng's is far from where I would like it to be. I am unemployed at the moment but have made a comfortable living playing live cash games over the last couple of years. I am looking to be staked for the first time & quite honestly I was looking for some feedback from players with a little more experience in this area. I would be interested in talking to anyone who may be interested in what I have to offer. Thank you for reading my post & I am looking forward to hearing from yall.

Hey guy can you please explain to me why you are using a different AIM contact for person to person transfers as you are for chatting about poker? Also why do you use yourself as a reference? That doesn't seem to reliable to me. I'd think twice before considering staking this guy.

PM about a person to person transfer post I put in the trade forum.

Looking for WSOP Staking

I am looking to play as many nl hold'em events that i can find staking for

My name is Taylor Durbin, I am 23.m originally from Phx, AZ. I have been a professional poker player since I was 18 and used a fake i.d. to sneak into casino arizona and fort mcdowell.. I used to play 5 150 spread holdem until they changed the law and i started playing 5 500 spread. I paid all my bills and my tuition through poker and after graduating from arizona state in december with a degree in finance i moved to vegas and have lived here grinding out 2.5 and some 5.10 nl hold'em games..

I don't play on-line hardly at all, though recently i did the sunday million twice and cashed both times. (http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...43B99.html?t=8)


I also played a little 6 handed on stars. (AZRounder99) I know it's not very many hands but 11.23 bb/100 should show i know what i'm doing.
Game Type Description Game Hands Winnings bb/100
$0.5/1 NL holdem 4463 $501.00 11.23

I don't have much live poker tourny experience, have only played small tournys.. but I believe all the live cash game hours i have put in give me a big edge in reading people and also i have read a lot of articles, and watched videos on tournament strategy.

As far as my references go.. I grew up next door and have been friends with Brandon Leeds forever. he has made a final table at wsop and is a professional on-line player (brandonpl) he can verify my story.. also i play so much at the wynn in vegas you can meet me there and ask about any of the poker staff or regular 2.5 players about me.

If your interested in staking me please e-mail me at tdurbin@asu.edu with any questions.. and i also prefer to meet in person anywhere in vegas to get the money, though i will also take pokerstars transfer.

Looking to Sell WSOP Action


Background:

My name is Nelson Robinson and I play under the names Ddayy and Nels316. I’ve been playing poker professionally for about 2 years now with the majority of my success coming from online play. I am a winning player on the 4 sites that I play on (Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Ultimate Bet, Bodog). I have more contact info for any backer that requests it.


Poker Results:

My total profit as a pro, including wsop events, is $183,237 over a 2 year span with over $500k in career prizes. My ROI over that time is 45.68% and my ITM is 16.45%. My ABI’s range from $60 - $115 from site to site but are closer to $100 these days. With these numbers I think a 25% markup is fair.

Recently I have trained with Chris “Big Huni” Hunichen and have spent countless hours analyzing / discussing hands with some of the best players in North Carolina.

FTP:

http://officialpokerrankings.com/ful...51CFE.html?t=2

Pokerstars:

Bodog:

http://www.bluffmagazine.com/thepoke...er-profile.asp

UB:

http://www.bluffmagazine.com/thepoke...er-profile.asp




Along with my online success, I played 2 WSOP tournaments last year and cashed in both. The first, event #4 $1,000 NLH: I finished 98th out of 6,012. The second, event #7 $1,500 NLH: I finished 239th out of 2,791, so I feel that my game translates pretty well to the live arena and I expect several more deep runs this year.

http://www.wsop.com/players/playerPr...gecolor=FFFFFF


Package:

WSOP event #3 5/29: $1,000 NLH
WSOP event #5 5/31: $1,500 NLH
WSOP event #8 6/2: $1,500 NLH
WSOP event #9 6/3: $1,500 PLH
WSOP event #11 6/4: $1,500 NLH
WSOP event #13 6/5: $1,000 NLH

Total Buy-ins: $8,000
Total Buy-ins with 25% markup: $10,000


Action:

1% - $100
3% - $300
5% - $500
10% - $1,000


Obviously if I go deep in a few tournaments there will some overlap and I will be forced to unregister from the subsequent tournament. All refunds will be paid in full. I am looking to sell 60% of my action and pay for the other 40% myself. I am on facebook - Nelson Robinson and twitter: https://twitter.com/NelsonRobinson I will use twitter for updates as each tournament progresses.

All sponsorship and extra perks from TV time/patches do not count in this deal. Percentages bought go towards cashes. Taxes will not be withheld, and you are responsible for your own taxes. Please get in touch with me or post on here before any money is sent. Thanks.

Button_F1 on Pokerstars
Bundle: 50 Non-Turbo $4.40 180 Mans on Pokerstars
120% ROI over 300 games
Time Period: 36-48 Hours after all stakes received.
Selling: 50% at 20% Mark Up


Reasons for Stake

- Student whos burnt out all his loans and not a lot left over for poker.

- Help to build a roll to play solidly over summer.

- Build a stronger reputation in the community, open up possibility of future staking.

Important Info

-I have been staked in the past for SNGs by I_Stack_Manz on 2+2, both turned a profit but stopped the stake due to University commitments.
-Bought parts of other people in marketplace and swopped % in SNGs and MTTs but no portfolio of references ... hence this small bundle to build it.
-I have been a consistent winner since starting playing poker last year off of a $30 deposit, withdrawing majority of roll several times for real life commitments.
- Well aware 120% ROI is likely unsustainable and 300 games are a small sample . But think 20% MU is more than fair.
- Will cap tables at 12 and will only register to new tournaments when 11 or less are active.

Graph filtered for the games I plan on playing ($4.40 non turbo 180 mans)



Total Buy-ins $220.
Selling 50% at 20% Markup.
$220 * 1.2 = $264

5% = $13.20
10% = $26.40
50% = $132

Prefer to sell a minimum of 5% at a time.
Will not start the bundle until all 50% is bought and sent to Button_F1 (Leicester) on Pokerstars.

Many Thanks and Good Luck

@ Button_F1 ill be happy to take 20%, if you can get "I_Stack_Manz" to post ITT to vouch for you. Would also like personal/cashier details before i send, incase I get scammed.

also what does 20% mark up mean I rarely stake SNG players so not familiar with that concept.
