SELLING MAIN EVENT WSOP SHARES AT 0% MARKUP

Intro:
Hi my name is Brad Stebeleski, BradST on Stars and my wife has given me permission to play the main event. I primarily plays steps on Stars starting from the smaller ones and working up to the sixes where I did fairly well in 09. I've been reading on 2 + 2 for at least 6 months -- mostly Jorj's posts and "well" but never bothered to become a member (in hindsight, not smart of me). One of my references listed below is a well known 2 + 2er. I'm planning on attending the main event of the WSOP whether I sell any shares or not. A 1% share equals $ 100. The max amount of myself that I'd sell is 50%, and I already have 8% sold.

History of Live Experience:
This past winter I won step 6s into 3 live events:
- the first was LAPT Costa Rica - unfortunately I bubbled in a 3 way all in with the best hand -- not really happy with this result as it was an easy tournament.
- the second was PCA where I cashed in 145th place - good for $17,500.
- the last was NAPT Venetian - I survived a very tough pro filled table on day one, chipped up early in day two but was taken out late in the day by a very mixed up hand.

Additional live experience is that a few years ago I played the Aruba Classic. I final tabled event 1, the 500$ pre main event game which I finished 4th in, there was around 200 runners. Then in the main event I finished on the bubble (yes I hate the bubble) when the button pushed K 10 off and I held AA in the SB. SIGH

References:
I do not have much experience selling stakes but did sell small stakes of myself for PCA and NAPT. The players who bought shares in me where Sect7G, Mystie45 and Lucky2084. Two of these players have spoken for 5% and 3% of me for this upcoming event. I am friends with a few other players on Stars who could speak for my character or playing ability but I haven't done financial transactions with them.

Closing:
I realize my current OPR is not good at the moment, however for the first 3 months of the year I was at 98 and up to 99%. The reason my % has gone down is because I have used a lot of step 5 tickets to buy into 700$ buy ins, mind you it is a pretty small sample size. I personally feel that based on how I always seem to go late into day two or three that I'm a good bet to finish in the money. I also don't have my hopes up for selling a large amount of shares as I am a relative unknown but hopefully I sell at least a few and have a good event. Nothing would make me happier (except final table) then returning a good investment to my investors as it would allow me to come back here with some more ambitious (EPT) plans in the future with a more well known name. I plan on updating investors on at least a daily basis. If you want to read about some of my hands or look at depressing bubble picture search my name in the pokerstars blog. Regarding taxes I'm Canadian, so I think there is some advantage there but not sure.

If anyone wants further info I'll watch this thread or PM me.

Thanks, Brad
can you increase my share from 1% to 2% thanks ( will send the other 1% soon)

Hello 2+2

I would like to request a stake for a series of live MTT's this weekend at Downstream Casino located in Oklahoma. I am brand spanking new to online poker, just made my first deposit last week and played around a little on Full Tilt. Screen Name is Aceability.

I have been playing live poker for about 6 years now just recreational. I usually play 2/5 NL cash games & low buy-in MTT's & home games. I haven't played a huge amount of tournaments, but have made the final table in approximately 80% of the tournaments I have played in.

I recently decided that I wanted to start playing on a more serious note. I currently work from home approximately 20 hours per week so time really isn't an issue. However, a starting bankroll is.

I don't really have any online stats to post since I just started playing online, but I can give you links to some live game results via pm.

Here is the series of tournaments I would like to play in this weekend:

Saturday
11:00 AM $35+5 NLHE - $3500 Starting Chips - 20 min. levels
3:00 PM Free Buy In + $10 Fee NLHE -$500 Starting Chips - Unlimited $10 Rebuys for 1000 chips & $25 Add On @ break for $5000 chips

Sunday
11:00 AM $35+5 NLHE - $3500 Starting Chips - 20 min. levels
3:00 PM $30+5 NLHE TURBO - $3000 Starting Chips - 15 min. levels

Requesting Total Stake of - $200 to allow for sufficient rebuys & add-ons if needed.

I'm not really sure how staking usually works, but my proposition would be that you would get back your original stake + 50% of any profits.

I am fairly confident that given the chance to play all 4 tournaments that I could finish in the top 3 of at least one of them which should provide a nice return for both of us.

I am also very aware that I am requesting a long shot here. No one here knows me or can vouch for me. I guess I am just hoping that someone is willing to take a chance on me. I feel that I have alot of potential, I just need someone to give me the opportunity to succeed.

I understand that live staking is more dangerous than online staking, given the fact that you cannot watch the tournaments or verify my winnings. Some ideas I've had to solve that issue are:
-You would have all of my personal information prior to staking me such as name, address, phone number, facebook page, etc.
-You can call the Downstream poker room directly and verify where any player placed in any given tournament. I would contact you at the conclusion of each tournament to give you my results and you could verify those results by contacting the poker room directly.

I know that this does not guarantee that I won't just take the stake and run or that I won't take any profits and disappear. I guess the only thing I can say to that is that you would be taking a chance on me.

Anyways, I've rambled on long enough Thank you for any consideration you could give me.

First post says
"REMINDER: Staking someone with few posts on twoplustwo who you do not know from the strategy forums is a massive risk and is probably a hugely -$ev investment. Staking someone with a lot of posts who you do know from the strategy forums is just a very large risk"

So here is the solution I offering:
You will transfer me each buy-in separately, about 30-10 mins before tournament begins.


I'm playing poker about 2 yrs. Playing 4 a living about 1,5 yrs.

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...04E32.html?t=2
http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...43A9D.html?t=2

I wanna play 24+2 GTD on FT. So, I need a stake

70/30 profit (your 70 of course), and distance is 7 days * 5 tourneys/day - that is what I aim for, but I will discuss any less distance

So if you're interested PM me.
P.S. Skype is also a contact option


facing hard times a little, but I'm pretty sure it ends )

Hi my name is scott im 23 Australian and just made me an account on ftp about 3 weeks ago. I used to play two years or so ago on stars but went through financial troubles and have been in ever since. The name i played under was donkeyers and i made about 10k profit in a year in low buy ins. I am currently unable to deposit any funds to this for a couple of weeks until i am back on my feet. I would just like to be staked in a few guarantee tournaments coming up over the next few hours and start making cash with my grinding. I am prepared to go 75-25 in your favour on the profit plus stakes back. Really eager to earn some cash and play poker so help me out and you will be rewarded. Doesnt even have to be much. Hope to hear a reply soon. Thanks Scott.

GOOD WINNING RECORD / GOOD REFERENCES => GOOD HORSE!! Looking for a 1/2 or 2/4 stake preferably. Ive been staked by Number36, he has posted in a thread confirming that I've paid up. Ive been staked by somebody on parttimepoker aswell and theres a thread on parttimepoker confirming that i've paid him successfully too.




GOOD WINNING RECORD / GOOD REFERENCES => GOOD HORSE!!

the results of my stake are here, along with the confirmation of my payup

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/39...staked-152718/


GOOD WINNING RECORD / GOOD REFERENCES => GOOD HORSE!!

PM me if your interested thanks. I had an incident where I dropped a laptop I was going to send, so I have no laptop to send now, and am broke, so my marketplace clearance has been disaproved. I've sold more expensive laptops on here without no-sending, and have had stakes worth thousands on here before, so that goes to show I'm not out to rip. I even started a monthly payment plan with the guy to show my good intentions.

GOOD WINNING RECORD / GOOD REFERENCES => GOOD HORSE!!

Let me know by PM ifyou need to know my references, Number36 is already here. A bunch of well respected 2p2ers will probably vouch for me if you ask me I can get you their names.

Hi. I've never posted on here so I assume that won't get me too many responses. I've been playing quite literally every waking moment since January 1st of 2010. I've had a good amount of success in $26 MTT's and have run into some hard times IRL and thus have depleted my roll. I'm looking for any sort of backing offer available. I just want to be able to play again.

I play at one site currently but would be willing to play anywhere.

FTP name: Crankfueled

Currently with a 40% roi.

t=2http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...0C75C.html?t=2

Recently I've had a horrible downswing so if anyone can look past that i'd love to talk.

99.9% opr........Excellent staking opportunity for Sunday June 20th

Pokerstars
$215 sunday warmup 1:00 stars
$215 razz 1:45 stars
$55 dng sunday special 3:00
$215 sunday million 4:30
$370 main event qualifier 4:30 stars (would take the $$)
$530 sunday 500 5:30
$215 sunday 2nd chance 6:30
$215 horse 7:45
$109 turbo 8:30
$109 2x chance ($209 counted) 11:00
Fulltilt
$109 sat to $640 main event qual 1:35
$240 sunday brawl 2:00
$109 sat to $640 main event qualifier 2:40
$163 150k guarantee 3:00
$22 double deuce 4:22
$640 main event qualifier 4:30 (would take the $$)
$216 750k guarantee 6:00
$55 superturbo ko 6:35
$109 cashout 7:15
$163 75k guarantee 8:00
$109 msop pl holdem 8:20
$216 horse 9:30

The total buyins comes to $4499.......I'm charging a markup of 10%, but figured my numbers at 11.1% to make numbers simple. I will adjust this to 10% markup before outs are made. This brings the total to $5000. Therefore,
1% = $50
2% = $100
5% = $250
10% = $500
I'll accept payments on stars or fulltilt to "itakcash". I may adjust this tournament schedule slightly based on how I'm doing in the early tourneys, how sharp I feel, etc. but I will make decisions in our best interests and won't go above this estimate. Obviously, any differences will be refunded.

Please feel free to check my stats as they should speak for themselves.

My opr for fulltilt is 99.82% this year with a lifetime roi of 26%.
http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...33D81.html?t=2

And my opr for stars is 99.97 this year with a lifetime roi of 68%.

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...6E379.html?t=2

My original post was just too long, so this is a shorter version of it. I'm keeping a minimum of 40% for myself and another 10-15% is claimed already......Looking to sell off the rest...You can simply reserve for now as I do not need the funds this far in advance. PM me if interested.

You dont need to be already playing the 90mans, just some form of SNG or cash game. What I'm more concerned with is finding people who will be grinding hard and willing to learn and move up through the levels.

I will start you at the $3.30/90s unless there is reason to start you higher and I will move you up to the next level as soon as you prove you are ready. You will have access to training resources and coaching.

PM your application and include the following:

-amount of hours you will play each week
-screen names
-poker history
-references
-current job/school status

Hello Everyone,

I am new to 2+2. Been a long time player at Full Tilt ( FelipeBball ) and I am interested in starting to play on Stars! I mostly play Mid-Stakes MTT's, and with the new laws in effect I am unable to make a deposit to play @ Stars. So I have decided to see if I can find a backer to stake me as I try and move over to Stars...

I would be willing to offer a 60/40 Staking Agreement ( 40 to myself ). And a time frame could be established...

Below is my OPR Stats..

Thank You for your time and interest..

Ok, so based on advice I've decided to cut the previous schedule slightly and I've cut the markup in half. The package will be played on Sunday June 20th.

I'm selling 50% of the following schedule:
Pokerstars
$215 sunday warmup 1:00 stars (don't really play it)
$215 razz 1:45 stars (won it 2x, numerous cashes)
$55 dng sunday special 3:00 (won the daily $55 for 11k+ in march)
$215 sunday million 4:30 (don't play it, but final tabled the 2nd chance $4500)
$370 main event qualifier 4:30 stars (would take the $$ if entry is won)
$530 sunday 500 5:30 (never played it yet but notes on many of the players)
$215 horse 7:45 (played it 3x, 1 final table)
$109 turbo 8:30 (2-1sts last month (8k & 11k), 3rd (5k) 2 days ago)
$109 2x chance($209) 11:00 (3rd $6800 in march, final tabled it in past too)
$23 hyperturbo 11:23 (I've won this one as crazy as it is- $3800)
Fulltilt
$109 sat to $640 main event qual 1:35 (I will play the qualifier if i win entry)
$240 sunday brawl 2:00 (0/4 I run bad in this.....got 5+ kos and a pro bounty)
$109 sat to $640 main event qualifier 2:40 (If i win 2nd entry, we keep cash)
$163 150k guarantee 3:00 (min cashes/took 4th in $162 on pstars for 11k)
$59 superturbo ko 6:35 (several final tables in this and the $110 version)
$109 cashout 7:15 (won this 2x this year, other cashes)
$163 75k guarantee 8:00 (took 2nd 2 wks ago for 12k/also see $163 above)
$216 horse 9:30 (new to horse, but can def. hold my own)

After a 5.2% markup(doing this because I'm new here), the total is $3500.....
That's just $17.50 per .5% (to give all the opportunity to invest)
$35 for 1%, $70 for 2%, $105 for 3%
$175 for 5%, $350 for 10%, $525 for 15% (max per person)

I'm keeping 50% and 15% has been reserved definitely with more pending. Please pm to reserve and/or ask any questions you may have. No need to send yet, but will accept on stars or tilt to itakcash (prefer tilt as I have much more on stars but it really doesn't matter.)


99.84% opr on full tilt, 25% roi
