Agreed. It has been weeks since PB Jelly Time vowed to repay the original staker due to breach of contract.

As an additional note on his character, he was denied permission to post in the Marketplace forum because he lied about reading the required sticky.

Looking to be staked for $200 or $400NL 6m on FTP. I have been a professional for a long time, and have great results. I have recently made some poor financial decisions which required me to cash out almost all of my bankroll. I have a truck load of people who can vouch for my honesty, and/or skill







Thanks!

I am looking to be staked from 25nl 6max with the intention of learning 6 max and moving up to 50nl. I have been playing FR for most of the past few month, but I am really considering moving over to 6max. I can play on either Stars or FT. Below are my FR stats and graph over my list 40K hands. I am really looking for someone who will be a coach+stake to help me with 6max and move me to the next level. If you are not interested in 6max I would be willing to go with FR. I have Skype, Teamviewer, and Mikogo for sweat sessions. Right now I am a full time student but I am willing to but the time and homework in to make the money. PM me for screen names and other information that you might want.

Stats + Graph for 25nl FR:

Hey guys,

Pretty new to 2P2, but a regular at P5s, basically I am profitable PL08 player on Stars and FTP. Had to cash out most of my bankroll so am just looking to get staked in a few games tonight with the possibility of the relationship going further in future.

Particularily, would like to play in the 11:30 PM 55$ Pl08 game on Stars and 26$ PL08 on FTP at 11:15 PM EST.

My Stars screen name is slickdon. I have a 90% ROI overall with about 2000$ profit.

http://officialpokerrankings.com/pok...3B99B.html?t=2

I am offering to play both of these games for 50%/50%. Therefore, looking to get backed for 55$ to Stars and 26$ on FTP for a total of 81$.

If anyone is interested in backing me in either one event or another please send me a PM in the next 30 minutes and let me know. I can provide user name on P5s so anyone who is serious can check up on me. Best Regards, Slickdon.

Edit- As this is my first time being staked here and it is pretty short notice, I would be willing to go as high as 70% backer/ 30% horse. So whatever I cash 70% goes to backer and I take 30% for playing. PM me if interested or can post here as I shall be online for next 30 minutes till games begin.

Hey,

Pretty sure I've been a member for more than 6 months, but not too active on 2+2; this is probably the most appropriate place for me to ask for a stake.

Basically, HUSNG player looking to stake and/or trade for FTOPs Event #9, the $535 HU Event. For brevity's sake, I'll just link to a blog entry from Liquidpoker.net.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=724585


PM me on 2+2 if interested.

Hi,

I am looking for a short-term stake for $11 SNGs on FullTiltPoker.

The reason I require staking is that it was neccessary for me to withdraw my funds as I needed the money for personal use, and would ideally like to have a seperate poker bankroll.

I am a winning player at the $11 level and prior to withdrawing I was playing mainly $22 SNGs, however I feel that I have a greater edge at the slightly lower limit.

P.M. me please if interested, I can provide further information as well as some referrals from long-term 2p2 members.

Hi,

I am interested in being staked for $50NL or $100NL cash games. My alias is Poolio and I predominantly play on the microgaming network in Purple Lounge/ Stan James where I get 50/30% RB. In the latter room it is fairly easy to get on their leaderboard and when I've played daily I've always received $1500+ per month just from finishing on their leaderboard. I have saved screenshots on my computer of leaderboard positions as proof of this and also posted on my blog.

I will be honest and state that the reason I am asking for staking is a combination of needing to withdraw cash to cover mortgage payments for my mother's house but with what I had left I was reckless and deservedly lost. I have a track record at upto $100NL where I am a profitable player. I left university almost 3 years ago and was playing for a living since then up until recently.

The poker company 'BadBeat' took me on as I showed them my accounts and they saw I was profitable but due to disagreements with some of their policies and how they ran things I chose to stop playing for them.

I have borrowed money off of two other players before and paid them both back, these people can be contacted if necessary.

I also play tournaments (MTTs) and I am sponsored, I sold shares in my play and have delivered a decent return to all investors so far. I won the $100k event on microgaming a while back and have several other wins all of which I have screenshots saved and write a blog. Therefore I have a tournament bankroll already so it is only my cash play I am looking to be staked for, I have approached my tournament backers but they are only small scale and not interested in a bigger amount.

Please contact me with further questions or if you're interested in staking me.

Ok everyone,

I have been playing for 4 years, starting 2005. I began playing nl .25/.50 (25 max buyin) and low stake sitngo's on party poker/empire and built the roll up to 3k, cashing out 1k and losing the rest experimenting with higher stakes.

In 2006, I blew up playing mid to high limit games on empire poker, getting 34% rakeback as a high volume player. I got 2nd in a $50 mtt (netting 4k), which helped me get my roll started. Overall that year, i netted around 60k from 3-4 months of play.

Towards the end of 2006, i pulled most of my money out of online, and decided to play high stakes live games. Although I regret doing that, I think it was lesson that I inevitably had to learn. I was outmatched in 50/100 horse games, and 30/60 holdem games. Those games played extremely high with 3 blinds sometimes and half kills all the time. I wasn't used to the flow of live games, and was crushed at first. I lost around 35-40k over a 3 month stretch. And as I put some money back online, I was also unable to win because I had lost the patience and flow of online. I was down to just 10k from my original 60k.

After that, in 2007, I continued to play in live games, having gotten a lot better. I started playing in lower 15/30 games being staked and some nl 1/3. 2/5, and 5/10. Having gained a lot more experience, I did very well and netted around 30k in 6 months.

Towards the end of 2007, the games began to die, especially the home games. The bad players went broke, and the good players felt it was better to stay away from other good players. Since, I live in the Chicago area, there really isn't a wide range of casinos to choose from. There's hollywood casino, which has only 8 tables, and some casinos in East Chicago, Indiana, which is a 2 hour commute (lately the horseshoe opened, and it has been very successful).

In 2008, I started to play on stars again, and did okay. I did try taking a shot here a little too often (at 100/200 and some nl25/50), which really hurt my winnings. The home games died down, and I played very sparingly at casinos, over weekends or when i could find time between my classes.

In 2009, I decided to take classes full time again. I had dropped out of Illinois State University in 2005 after only 1 semester (with a 3.77 gpa!). Over the last 3 years, I had taken 1 classes a semester at Harper College and getting 3.0 gpa, with my main focus on poker. This semester is close to being done. I have no more projects, and jsut 1 final left in accounting. I am majoring in finance, and minoring in journalism. I plan on transferring to Northern Illinois University in '10, which has a very good business program.

For now I don't have anything planned in the near future besides going back to school in fall. I tore a ligament playing basketball, so working may be out of the question. Operating a pc is not a problem, but continuous lifting is. I dont have too much savings, because of tuition and many bills. Here are the games that I have the most edge:

1. HU and shorthanded limit (including horse)
2. NL and PLO
3. SnGs
4. MTTs (I've always read the MTT strat forums, but just never had a lot of time for it)
5. Other games (triple draw, pineapple, star wars, etc)


I do read the strategy forums religiously, so i have a very good idea of how the regulars think and play, how good LAGs play, and especially how TAGs. And I don't think i'd need to worry about the donks. Also, I have observed a lot of the games on stars, and i have a good idea who the regulars are.

My online aliases:
ap- jlqq11
ftp- immaf15h http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...9AA15.html?t=2
stars- acc101 http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...93C60.html?t=2

I wouldn't trust tableratings, because it can be 90% off. For example, my ap name on table ratings, it says the peak was at +1.5k, when the actual peak was at 6k. and the trough was at 600, when the actual trough was at 1.5k. And for stars, it missed an entire couple months of play.


Here is a graph of most of my 2008 mid-high stakes limit results:



Here's a meaningless sharkscope graph for ftp, i tried playing some low stakes sng's towards end of '08:



I dont have full version of a hud or tracker, but I think it's advantages are minimal for those that dont have a large database of hands saved. I may purchase one if I build a decent size roll (over 5k?).

PM me if you'd like to discuss more. I'm willing to give my phone #, email, address, and maybe a copy of my driver's license to confirm it.

I have a few famous 2p2ers as references. I met them online, and met in real life at Foxwoods, and we still talk from time to time.

Best wishes,
Mo

Hi 2+2ers,

I have been playing poker for a little over 5 years, but started playing seriously and frequently online just over a year ago. I play mostly on Fulltilt, under the screen name drkamikaze. I have a stars account, drkamikaze1, but have barely played there.

As you can see from Sharkscope and Officialpokerrankings (drkamikaze OPR rankings), I am a winning MTT and SNG player. I have a steady income outside of poker to cover basic living expenses, and I am looking for a staking relationship in order to have a stable br to play the tourneys I am a winner at, and to build relationships within the community and have some one to run hands/discuss strategy with.

I am looking for backing either for ~$16 turbo single table SNGs or for $25-$50 MTTs. I prefer FullTilt but am open to other sites. I am happy to provide my real life name and all info (and provide verification). Backing arrangements are negotiable, and I am willing to give up additional. % to a strong player who is willing to provide mentorship.

A little bit more about me: I have a PhD from one of the top humanities programs in the world, and I have taught at universities such as UC Berkeley and San Francisco. I am highly intelligent, very reliable, and dedicated. And I am looking forward to working with you.

Happy to provide more info over PM or email.

best,
drkamikaze

Hey,

I'm looking for staking for the $11 Daily Thirty Grand and the $11 Sunday 250k tonight.

I have 18% on all my games (1.5k+ games, Sharkscope) and am willing to post HH's and keep in contact by MSN, or any other messenger staker prefers.

I would love to make a regular agreement also, but I would appreciate any offers. PM me if interested.

Thanks.

***DO NOT STAKE MrAction3*** He has listed multiple screennames on 2p2 (see his post in p2p thread). During conversations with him on AIM, he made these two highly suspect claims:

1) That he plays 500nl live, and that he has accumulated 20k in winnings.
2) That he needs the stake b/c his deposits are all declined at FTP and Stars.

He's either ******ed, a compulsive liar, or a scammer--possibly a combination of all three. Don't stake him.

Hello all,

I'm a Computer Programming/Mathematics College Student looking for either a $.50-$1 (or $1-$2) 6MAX NLHE Stake. I was currently working on building my bankroll prior to this past semester, but bills had to be paid and books needed to be bought. I'm looking for a split of 65(you)/35(me) and can provide any information needed to make you feel more comfortable(Name, Phone Number, AIM, Email, Etc.). If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated, as I'm just a broke college student just looking to get back into the game :-D.

I know this is my first post on this forum, but I ensure you this reflects in no way on my ability to play the game.

Hi guys, Im new to this site and am looking for some stakes for tonight on FTP.
My username is Xocist, if you check me out on sharkscope you will see my RIO is over 90% for MTT's on FT, with a profit of little over 3k.
Im not looking to deposit on there for a while now which is what brings me here. I usually get staked on a 50/50 + stake back (final table 60/40) basis.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks,
John Walton

Hi I'm a MTT grinder looking for a long term backer for mid/high stakes MTTs. I've been playing MTT's full time for approx 1.5 years and have been playing both cash games/MTTs for 4+ years now.

I have over 120k total winnings so far but my long term ROI is somewhat crappy atm as I went on a pretty sickening downswing just as I moved up in stakes at the end of 08. My backer was happy with my performance though and I feel pretty confident in my edge in everything up to 100r/1k FO. The stake ended because of unrelated issues and I'd be happy to provide my previous backer as a reference.

Here are my Stars/FTP OPR's. Please contact me if interested.
