Hi Guys
I’ve been playing poker just for 4 years but last 2 years as a MTT PRO. During my short pro carrier made some good scores;
- 1st in Monster Series 03-high for $27,2k on party poker
- 1st in Bigger $44 for 11,8k
- 1st in Big $44 for 5.7k
- 1st in Big $22 for 5.5k
- 1st in Hot $55 for 5.4k
Recently had a lot of unexpected expenses and unsuccessful investments where 2 scammers ripped me off. They owed me a lot of money. I would like to bring a lawsuit against them but It's gonna take a lot of money and time. Even after won lawsuit I don't know how long will be waiting for money and don't know If I get some money back from the scammers...Never been in court so I'm not sure what i can expect...
Also I've been recently on downswing...
I don't know what to do. Need your advise guys !
I'm almost broke ... I've got left $2k in my bankroll but it's not enough even to play low stakes. Also got some saved money for living but don't want to touch my last savings and transfers them to play poker. I never been looking for staking deal...but I think now is the time to make some staking researches.
I have few options ;
a) Find private backer and sign with him appropriate contract.Where 2 persons would be happy with terms. It will be the best for me if investor would be HS Pro. He/She would become my mentor and I will get financial + coaching support in exchange for profit division.
b) Find "normal" job and play as semi-pro till earn appropriate sum of money for legal cost and save enough money to play mid stakes tournaments on my own (about $12-15k).
c) Sell some shares for grind and try to win something on mid stakes. I sold 2 days ago my first ever package for last Sunday grind on FaceBook in one of poker groups
Even was so close to nice profit on Sunday. Lost bvb FH vs FH in hot33. I'm not allowed to post any offer over here because I am not active enough on the forum. English isn't my native language so it's take me to write a post longer than writing in my native language. Usually check my spilling twice before post anything...I've been quit busy so wasn't active on 2+2.
Maybe long term staking offer would be better option, for example for 2-3 month where I would invest my 2k and would find some investors to play tournaments up to $44/55.
Other option is selling 100% shares, play without make up where i would just take some % from profit at the end of contract. I'm not sure how many % i can ask for in this case and don't know if there would be some people interested in my offer.
d) Apply for stacking in some stables. Some of them got contracts for 20k MTT .I just don't wanna signing contracts for overs 2-3 years. I know they got some forums for horses/video materials charts etc. In the best stables the best coaches working on game only with HS players... I can work on game on my own in PIO, HRC, Equilab. In case I have tough spots I can always ask about opinion my friends which playing Mid and few of them HS stakes or just post it over here in appropriate section. Also bought RYE Master Class which done already. I'm in RYE discord Master Class Group but wasn't active over there because been working on game so far with my lads on Skype in my language.
Definitely I don't want to quit poker. I spent to much time to study and I know there is still some leaks in my game and areas to improvement. I love this game and want my hobby to be my job.
I will really appreciate any advice and help.
I'm looking forward for your opinions Guys.
