This is going to be a (hopefully) long-term stake. If you're not willing to play for a few weeks at the smaller stakes, and put in some decent volume, don't bother reading.

First and foremost, I've been involved with staking and being staked for several years now. I know what I'm looking for, and I can generally tell who's going to do well for me and who's not.
I'm planning to stake for the following ideas:
- I give you anywhere between $50.00 and $250.00 and you play miscellaneous games and work the bankroll up, using a predetermined bankrull rule (e.g. 5%)
- I give you x amount of buy-ins for a particular game, and you run ONLY that game. (e.g. $34.00 to run 10+ 3.40 sngs)
If you are going with the first one, tell me not only what you're going to play but what your bankroll rule is going to be. The more conservative, the more likely I'll stake you. Don't expect to get $100 and run $20 SnGs..not happening.
If you're going for the second one, I want stats. If you can get specific stats for that particular mtt/sng you're running, that's great. If you have just some SnG stats that feature a lot of those games, then that's fine too. I'm not going to be terribly strict about stats, but the more you give me the better your chances will be.
I want you to then, to give me the following information in your application:
- Your PokerStars ID (and city)
- How much you can play (e.g. 20-30 SnGs a week)
- When you can start
- Any Contact Info (if you wish to PM this to me instead of posting this publically, you may do so. I'm looking for AIM, YIM, or SKYPE.
- Stats, if possible
- What you're running. Be specific.
- Anything else you want to add to make me want to stake you.
I may not be picky about the details, but I'm EXTREMELY picky on who I'm going to choose. It must be someone with a lot of trust, perhaps experience on the forum, lots of poker experience, etc. Don't think you're going to get off with a $50 stake when you've played 200 games on Stars.
I'm not having any strict guidelines on who can post, and who can't.
And yes, I may pick more than one person from this thread. Depends on who goes for this.
Good luck guys
