Hi, my name is Marcus and I play as Mark Norm on FTP and Mnorman422 on Stars.

Who am I?

My name is Marcus Norman and I am a low stakes sng grinder graduated to mid-stakes MTT player. I started off grinding 3.30 90 man sngs
on FTP and 2.20 180s under stake by Sharkstaking and due to other commitments, I had to back out of the deal but ended the stake with
profit. I recently began selling action in the marketplace and since then have distributed 12k+ in winnings. Here are my current unfiltered
stats from each site on sharkscope:


Mark Norm 2,711 $2 $7 36% $6,200 - 77 FullTilt

mnorman422 894 $4 $9 43% $3,557 - 77 PokerStars

My largest score was on September 29th which was 3rd in the Fifty-Fifty for $4.1k; other notables from the past 30 days are:

10/14~ 4th in the $55fo 45k gtd- $3649
10/10~ 2nd in the $44 turbo- $3414
6th in the $11fo 9.5k gtd- $598

What am I looking for?

Would like to be backed with the freedom for me to withdraw from the staking arrangement under the condition that I am not in makeup

I would like to play these games with opportunities to move up with proven results:

FOs: up to 55$ on average with the option to play slightly higher on Sundays since the fields are much softer.

Rebuys: up to 11$ unlimited rebuys and up to 20^3. Will most likely never desire to go higher than this on Sundays.

Satellites: for upcoming big events (i.e. FTOPs, USA COOP) I may want to play satellites for these up to the regulated
average buyin I am being backed for.

FPPs/ Rakeback

I would like to keep these since it is much easier for accounting and doing numbers.

What you can expect from me as a horse

I am 19 and a student; however, I view this as a positive thing for the days I do play poker, I put in a good amount of volume and I am always motivated since I am not playing every single day. I like to plan out my day ahead of time and almost never miss a tournament that I had planned on playing. I am not a multi-tabling freak, I like to keep up around 6-9 tables at a time which helps me focus and maximize my skill although I am capable of 12 tabling.

I am a very trustworthy person who believes strongly in integrity. As stated above I have already distributed 12k+ in winnings in the marketplace and I am also active in the p2p transfers thread and have many successful trades there as well. I have been backed previously by Sharkstaking and made them 1k+ from low stakes sngs under a short period of time. I will not take unwarranted shots or do anything with funds without the discretion of the backer. I will try to get some references to post ITT, but a lot of my history is out there for public finding.

What I expect from you?

I desire a backer who is poker savvy who can help me grow as a poker player as well as being reliable. I may have questions or need assistance so a person who is available regularly and easy to contact would be optimal. Waiting around for reloads or feedback is substandard and I would like to avoid dealing with such.

If you are interested or have any question please PM me and I will be happy to respond.

Hey everyone, I am coming into this thread as a REFERENCE (not vouch) for Mark Norm..

Mark has been very active around the market place, both buying and selling shares.. He has bought shares of me, multiple times, and I of him. All of his business interactions with me have been of the upmost professionalism and promptness. After exchanging a few pms, we decided to talk on skype a couple of weeks ago, and all of the conversations I have had with him regarding not only poker philosophy, but the "business" behind poker, has shown me that he is a very Mature young kid with a bright future..

He is looking to play higher then I am comfortable staking someone at, or I would do it myself tbh. If you have any questions feel free to PM me..

+1 to tourbounds post.

I've talked to mark on skype since we were both grinding 90s on ftp months ago and he'd be a great horse to pick up.

Escort spam? I'm not sure that's the kind of back he was seeking.
