Okay, first of all...way to take my needling like a man. Hopefully, you realize that I meant that in good fun. That's already a good sign. You're going to run into that a lot in the poker community, as it tends to have a lot of sticklers for accurate 'facts.'
Nothing personal, but you should realize that according to your graph, you've exhibited poor BRM and you're making seemingly false, if not unqualified statements such as "it would be a profitable venture for both of us" and "I have an edge over most of the players in microstakes [on 888]." You come off more dishonest than you do authentic because of the simple fact that your sample size is so minute.
These statements may very well be true...eventually. But your graph doesn't reflect that. At least, not at this point.
No staker/backer/stable worth his/her/its salt is going to even consider talking to you, let alone ship you money to grind with without a MINIMUM 50k HH sample. I would recommend even putting in 100k hands before you start seeking backing. And that's just to get the conversation started. I've recently looked in to what backers look for, and I've been told that after you show them your stats and graphs, that only gets you a conversation. They are still going to want to see how you play, quiz you, ask you strategy questions, and get a sense of whether or not you are worth the investment.
So far you're off to a really good start. You've had a solid run over your 175 hand sample. But you have a lot of work to put in my friend. My honest advice? Again, put in the hours, put in the study time, learn about ICM, GTO, and other essential concepts, get in the habit of studying 20 minutes of hand histories for every hour of poker played (some people spend more time studying than they do playing), study the forums, post hands and describe your lines and your reasoning behind them (players are often happy to contribute their opinions).
For extra credit, get more socially involved, make friends, etc. I recommend the following stream-casts as a great place to start: Jason Sommerville, joeingram1 aka ChicagoJoey, TuckOnSports, and there's plenty more out there. The 2p2 pokercast is also really good to stay up to date on the latest happenings in the poker world. And I'll leave it at that.
Gl sir. But more importantly, don't forget to have fun on our journey.
Warm wishes,
DChilano
