I might be interested. I've grinded about 900 tournaments split amongst 3.25/45s, 6.50/45s, 12/45s, and some 12/180s but I recently had to cash out my roll.

My OPR Link (results slighty skewed because I randomly entered a $80 WSOP Sat one day as well as a few $36 double shootouts):

My SS (unfiltered so includes all my past SNG play as well, upswong marks my entry into the 45-men world):

Looking for a stake for live 25-50 and up in Vegas, because i will only take 10k with me to USA (due to tax reasons etc) and don't want to grind out 5-10 (i assume 25-50 live is pretty much the same level as 5-10 online).

My stats from Nl400 and up (Been an NL1000 reg since September 2007).
Could really be an awesome deal for both of us.

I'm willing to stake a number of people for low limit cash games and SNGs.

If you'd like to be considered then please PM me. The following criteria must be fulfilled:

1. You must be a winning, break-even or even a slightly-losing player over a significant sample and you must be able to prove this.

2. You have to be trustworthy and honest and have some sort of evidence to back this up (a lot of posts on any poker forum, or references with good reputations, or anything else you may think of that would help your cause).

If you can fulfill both of these then you will be seriously considered as an applicant. In the case of most staking agreements, I will put up 100% of the capital and the profits will be split on a % basis that will vary on a per-person basis (usually from 40/60 to 80/20 but exceptions can always be made).

Coaching may be offered for free to certain staked players, again, this will depend on your results and based on further discussions and other factors. The coaching will be done by either myself (long-term winner from 2/4 to 10/20) or other professional players who have been long-term winners in their respective games.

I will mostly be taking on low-limit cash game players or SNG players but under rare circumstances will consider higher limit players or MTT players (ie good long term results, great reputation, etc.). Fwiw 'low-limits' to me is up to 100 NL or $33 SNGs.

Terms & Conditions such as the site played on, number of hands, etc, will be worked out in detail in later discussions and again will vary from person to person.

Please note that I am expecting to reject the majority of applications, but will consider just about all of them.

PM me if you wish to apply.

looking to be your pony in the WSOP. I won a seat to NLHE event 48, i have to play this event, no other option. it is 2k event and i am willing to sell as little as 2.5% increments ($50). last year the purse was over 4 million and 1st place was 707k. im looking to sell up to 75% by the time it is all said and done. ill will draw up contracts stating what percentage each person buys and will email copies of my confirmation from raketherake (affiliate i won the seat through), screenshots of the final table when i won it (unedited obv) and anything else you may think would be reassuring to you for this. PM will be the the best option to contact me.

thanks

Looking for a steak for 12/180 and up to 27/45. Maybe some MTT up to $30

Have had a lot of success at the 180's and feel I could adapt to to the 45's very easily. Can easily 12+ table, so volume is not a problem.

Was staked for 12/180's by 2p2'er "Double Ice" for about two months and made him about $1300, but ended it due to a hectic summer schedule. Since then, it's cleared up a bit, and now I am looking for another backer.

Looking too stake people from nl 50- nl 600. But in general up to nl 200, over that you have to meet some stricter requirements.

I want to basically stake people who are winning players at the level or at least the level below the stake.

Im a 3pt winner at 400s over big sample.

I can help somewhat, talking strategy over aim, helping out on the mental side of the game, and on being better professional poker player in general. But my time might be limited.


Need to be trustworthy.

PM me if your interested.
06-15-2008 , 05:09 PM
All,

I'm reposting in this thread because my request details for a stake have changed since I last posted.

Currently, I am looking for a long-term stake on Stars for any freezeout mtts with a minimum buyin of $22, and feel very comfortable and successful up to $162's. I would also play any rebuys from $5r up to $22r. I would also be open to a WCOOP stake when the time comes.

Splits and details would be discussed via IM.

I have several references on 2+2, including a moderator. PM for details or any questions.

I'm willing to discuss different options and ideas also. I look forward to hearing from you.

Mike

Hello 2p2ers

I am looking for a stake for $55 FOs, $109 FOs, and the Sunday Warmup/Million/Second Chance, and the Nightly Hundred Grands

As far as my background, I am one of the biggest lowstakes grinders on Pokerstars. I have made $18k this year in SNGs with a buyin of <$20. I am a regular in the $12/45 mans and $12/180 mans. I haven't moved up since the higher games don't run often enough for me to get the volume I do, and I am too emotionally volatile to large swings which is why I don't play the above tournaments on my own bankroll.

My Pokerstars name is TheLipoFund and you can search my on both OPR and Sharkscope, I am not tech savvy enough to link pictures, so if interested you can do this yourself.

I am on a few total profit leaderboards for 2008 on sharkscope, so I have a nice star next to my name.

As far as being trusted goes, I have a lot of references on 2p2. I lived with 2p2er WCG|Rider for a week this summer and received coaching while on a stake from him, I swapped 10% of myself with 2p2ers J Darnielle and WuTank in a WSOP Sat which I went on to win and sent them both 1250 before the 12.5k even hit my account. Back when I was busto, mod Chump Change staked me in some lower stakes tournaments, as did Bakes in a Sunday Hundred Grand where I cashed for $200+ when my bankroll was $0. I am very likely one of the most respected regulars in the games I play, and my reputation means a lot to me, so I'm not going to **** anybody over. I have worked hard for my success in poker, and it wouldn't be possible without the social networking 2p2 has provided me, and I would not sacrifice that.

I am a regular contributor in the STT forum, and post occasionally in LSMTT. I also spend a lot of time browsing HSMTT and SSNL where I have made occasional posts.

If you are interested in something like this, let me know

also, the lipo fund is a really solid player from what i've seen.

Hi 2p2,

This is a slightly different "stake offering," but hopefully will interest some of you.

I am looking to stake players who'd like to learn MTTs, specifically in the $5-50 range. Basically, I am seeking players with a decent understanding of poker, but with a desire and willingness to improve. You don't necessarily need to prove you are already a winning MTT player or whatnot. More importantly, I'm looking for people who would like to commit to becoming a student of poker and sticking with it for a while. Evidence of trustworthiness is also encouraged.

I'm looking for somewhere between 4-8 "students" who fit the bill, so you don't necessarily need to be the most qualified. Again, this is intended for players who would be excited to put time and effort into improving their poker understanding.

If interested, PM me and give a brief explanation of your situation and any previous poker experience.

-Yoshi

I am currently planning to buy my way into $20,000-$30,000 worth of events on my own dime, but I'd much rather have a backer that allows me to play events over the whole summer. I am really only interested in backers who can allow me to focus the summer on winning a bracelet. I am willing to offer great terms to a backer that gives me that chance. I will play under a deal that extends past the WSOP.

I a strong player in the following games:

NLHE
O/8
Stud/8
Razz

and would like to play a range of events that include all 4 disciplines.

I have results in live tournament play, including two 14th place finishes in 10k WPT championships, and when I was traveling the circuit last year I began to grab some media attention(still staying upbeat while being card dead all day.) I started to focus on cash games after traveling for a few months and since then I have not been traveling to play tournaments. I spent the year focusing on improving my game and becoming a solid cash game player, but I still play some tournaments and I feel very strongly of my ability to crush most tournament players.

Why you should stake me

Lifetime winner on the professional tournament circuit. I have a very strong drive to win a WSOP Title and am willing to sacrifice the entertainment value of the summer for a chance. I already live in Vegas and have a stable living situation and am very comfortable with the city.

I was a shortstacker, and I understand 20-30bb play better then almost anyone, beating up to 25/50nl regularly. That experience has really made tournament play easy for me, and I'm a better tournament player for it.

My reputation means the world to me. I have friends and known 2p2 members who can vouch for me, including multiple who trust me with 10k+ on a handshake deal and my word.



-DoGGz
Well, I managed to get a few random one tournament stakes, but nothing significant. I'll be buying myself into the $1500 PLO/8 next week, and then the Main Event in July.

I'm currently selling pieces of myself in the Main Event. Selling 1k slices for 7.5%. If your interested in some Main Event action shoot me a PM.
06-18-2008 , 10:30 AM
Looking to sell 8% pieces of my Main Event action for $1,000.00. Will sell up to 40% as I've sold 10% and want to keep 50% for myself. I'm also playing 2 or 3 smaller(1.5-2k) WSOP events as well as a few non WSOP events and would consider selling a % of everything at same rate. My online results from pokerstars are shown below. I'm break even on FTP over a smaller sample and have something like 300% roi on Bodog.

My live experience is limited to last years PCA where I finished something like 225/800 and a couple trips to Vegas where I played small(avg. 50 entries) local tourneys and cashed 4/6 with 2 wins and a 4th.

Anyone interested, send me a PM and we can discuss further.

06-18-2008 , 02:24 PM
I'm looking for staking for $20 MTTs and upwards on Stars. My stars names is Xhopz and if you're a reg MTTer on Stars you've probably seen me about quite a bit.



As you can see on my OPR im a $20k winner from MTTS with 81% ROI and have won the nightly 50k once on Stars as well as other good tournaments.

I have had to cash out large amounts for different reasons and have left my online roll depleted unfortunately, so i'm looking for any stakes for $20+ tournaments (prefereably the $11rebuys, $20, $50 and $109s)

I am quite known on thehendonmob forum and have several references from transfers on there, and have done a few on 2p2.

I'm also a winning 50nl player (this is my new db due to new Ptracker) but I am only looking for MTT stakes as that is my bread and butter.



Please PM if interested, thanks.
06-18-2008 , 09:51 PM
I realize this may be a longshot but if anyone is interested in staking me for the ME pm me.

I'm in Phoenix right now and could make the trip up a few days early to meet you. I have my passport/birth certificate with me and would be willing to give you any information you may feel necessary.

Fact is my entire roll is just barely enough to get in the ME so any type of cash would be big for me, therefor I would be willing to take a much smaller percentage of the winnings than perhaps your standard backee would expect to get. I don't want to lowball myself but if you're interested pm me and we can discuss exact numbers.

Lastly, we could work into the deal that I have to give you a certain percentage of any sponsorship deal I might get if I was able to run well and get down towards the end of the tournament.



Also interested in stakage for the Sunday Million. Butcho22 on all sites.
06-19-2008 , 12:25 AM
I will accept staking for midstakes and higher. Im most qualified busto player since grimstarr. I used to crush midstakes fr. Now i only play HU or 6. Here is my month so far.



Srs 400nl+ offers only, dont waste my time, Im garunteed EV and have references out the ass, If youd like some free money then pm and you can test me anyway you see fit to see how legit i am before you put me in a game. also im always willing to accept coaching as part of deals, and encourage it. Im completely honest and straight forward to everyone about everything.




other screen shots, my phone #, and aim are available to legit midstakes stakers. I wont take 200nl stakes unless i get a redic% and I may play Full Ring if that makes you feel more comfortable since i have such a huge sample size crushing it...but i prefer not to!

So I was in the middle of making a post asking for everyone to stop clogging the thread with "PM'd you", until I realized that they weren't the problem, but the post above was.

So, as to the bolded part...ah, no. This thread, as the title states, is for posters with a 100 strat post minimum. Now the thread is being clogged up with people all quoting the entire post and adding "I sent you a PM", and most of them are low count posters. Why the need for them to post in here as well? I don't think we want something like this in the low post count thread either. If you want them to PM you, fine, but please don't ask them all to reply in this thread.

I'm editing that last portion of your post, and deleting all the replies.

Hello everyone -

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...F9B1A.html?t=2

I am aprilsfool on pokerstars and according to officialpokerrankings.com, I have cashed in 797 of the 3908 MTTs i have played in 2008, approximately 20%. Mostly at small stakes. I have played all games and have good ROIs in all my games except Omaha Hi / Lo, where I have still cashed in 20%, but slightly negative ROI. I have 1st place finishes in stud hi, stud hi lo, omaha, fixed holdem, no limit holdem of course, horse, maybe something else that i'm forgetting. I have 2nd place finishes in razz, o8, plholdem, triple draw lowball, pot limit 5 card draw. Basically I've played so many tournaments over the past months that I should have carpel tunnel. I also once played thousands of single table sit n gos, so I have some good practice for final tables. I have a degree in computer science and engineering, have developed my own proprietary software to help me improve my game, and feel that it has gifted me with some favorable and unique edges. I have limited live tournament experience , but I used to play a lot of live 1-2 & 2-5 NLHE in AC. I have also started posting in twoplustwo forums to help me improve my game.

Anyway, I just came to vegas for the next 2-3 weeks to play poker, and am wondering if there is anyone out there with as much gambol as me who wants to stake me in any of the WSOP events. I figured it might be a good opportunity since I won't have any additional expenses to play in any tournaments other than the buy in. Also, I would just be happy for the experience to compete in WSOP again, so I will consider favorable deals for the staker.

Without a stake, I might enter a few of the $1500 events myself, and possibly some satellites. I played in 2 WSOP events last year, a NLHE $1k rebuy and a $1500 NLHE, neither cashed. I got out on a coinflip near the bubble in the $1500 and donked off my stack to a well known pro in the $1k rebuy maybe 4 hours in. I have improved both my MTT game and live game a lot since then, but I am too poor to afford the volatility to play much this year, as I prefer to use my money for food and rent nowadays. I just won a prize package to the LAPT event in Uruguay in August, but I would love to ply my skills for mutual benefit during June in WSOP 2008 to the best of my ability. Please PM me if you are interested.

All the best!

06-19-2008 , 08:11 AM
I guess I also might as well mention that if somebody wants to stake me for online higher buy in MTTs like the pokerstars sunday million, I would entertain that as well. I win tons of satellites to it, but I'm too conservative to actually play it. I rather just unregister and turn the $T into $ via SNGs and other MTTs. Then turn the $ into food and shelter.
06-19-2008 , 02:37 PM
I'm interested in being staked for the higher buyin MTT's on pokerstars.

My OPR: http://officialpokerrankings.com/pok...00540.html?t=2

I have over 10k in profit with just an average buyin of $11 in MTT's on stars....and i play higher buyins through satellites but I would like to play more of them regularly.

Thanks for any consideration
