Official Stake-Seeking Thread - Page 28 - Seeking Stakes -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hi "Official Staking Thread"

my name is martin9_90 and I have been playing poker now for just over a year. Starting from play money (and the ffp stars gave me for helping them) I have managed to build my way up to a respectable-ish, 500$. So i'm pretty much rolled for 25nl, so far this month I have managed to play 30k hands and shown a 3.8bb/100 winrate which whilst sustainable is not what I would be able to hope to achieve.

What I am is looking for is a staker/coach who can provide sound advice and help.

I am not used to staking so I look for someone with experience and knowledge in this area.

I am a frequent poster in the uNL forum trying to help others improve their game whilst improving my own, however I am no way giving 100% perfect advice and still need improvements on my own game (Hence the coach).

Thanks alot

martin

Looking for a stake. 400-600 NL. I have busted my roll, running far below expectation. Don't take my word for it, if you're serious I will send you all my hand histories. I've been playing online for 4 years and its the first time I'm busted.

Will give hand histories in the neighborhood of 100k hands upon request (I lost the rest on my other hard drive.

hi, i am micvanbob on fulltilt poker as well as on this forum. i am a regular on the razz tables there, and have proven myself even more in tournaments. I have cashed in two of the three or four razz ftops i have played in, including the most recent one, and have final tabled the 2k and 5k guarantee events, winning the 2k two out of three nights this past week.

i can back myself all the tourneys i play, but i am seeking a staker to establish good rapport. I have been staked before, including in the FTOPS i just cashed in, and I have people that can vouch for me if needed.

My ROI, after 500+ games, from when I started playing cards online back in '08 stands at %0, with my profits being at a measely $34, my prizes being over 12k.

My Razz/ HORSE ROI over the years is at %17, but this year I am currently winning with an ROI of %44.

I am very profitable in Razz and HORSE, and it isn't just a recent phenomenom. I have proven myself in numerous Razz and HORSE events which offer good results. I am asking for a stake in the $26/$75 entry razz/HORSE events on Full Tilt(and possibly sunday night horse as well).

In razz, I would say that I really bring my A game to the table in any tournament with a legitimate prize for me. The 2k is legit enough for me, because winning $700 over a 3 or 4 hour tournament is a lot for me, and I always play to win.

I am asking for an online stake, and if this happens and you are reaping the rewards, I will ask for a larger venture in the future.

My plans are to play in the HORSE events at the Golden Nugget this summer(6/17, 6/26, 6/29), and they all have an entry fee of $230. I will also be entered in the WSOP $2500 Razz event on 6/22. I am looking for backing for most of these events, and have already sold percentages of the Razz event.

I am new to this forum but please give me a shot. Get back at me, let me know your for real, and I'll give you my phone number and we can talk and all.

It's not everyday you get propositioned for a Razz stake, it is usually hold 'em or omaha, mostly hold 'em stakes, but think outside the box here, think Razz, and go with me. Start small and back me in a couple of the 2k or 5k razz events. OK?

WARNING: Many staking deals lead to hard feelings and lost funds. Only enter into a staking arrangement if you trust your partner and if you are willing to lose your investment

Neither Twoplustwo nor its moderators give any endorsement explicit or implicit to any of the posters in this thread. The advice in this thread is not comprehensive and there is no guarantee that you will not lose your money if you follow the guidelines herein

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

It is highly recommended that, if you choose to stake someone with less than 6 months membership at 2+2, that you know them personally or have very strong references about their character and playing ability.

If you are looking to be staked please include the games and levels which you are willing to be staked to play and include all relevant information about why you are a +EV investment.

You are permitted to bump your staking request no more than once every four days.

It would be helpful if you posted your online screennames and screenshots of your pokertracker results, sharkscope stats, or a link to your pokerdb page depending on what games you are looking to get staked for. Realize that the more detailed and professional your solicitation for a stake is the better chance that there is that someone will take you on.

Staking someone is a major risk. Before entering into a staking deal make sure that you have the other person's real name, and telephone number.

Many staking deals fall apart over a misunderstanding. Make sure that you are abundantly clear about the exact levels and games that the stake is intended for. It is highly recommended that you put everything in writing including: Size of stake, games that can be played under the stake, method of splitting profits, termination clauses, what happens if the stakee plays outside of the contract, etc.

Anyone using this thread with the intention of scamming another poster will risk the forfeiture of their twoplustwo account.

The following comprehensive article was written by Bond18

I’ve had this segment requested a number of times and there seems to be a lot of questions and misinformation within the community about staking arrangements. I’m not the most qualified to speak about being a person who is staking (which is fairly irrelevant since very few reading are interested in starting a staking empire) but I do feel quite qualified in talking about being staked. First, a little history in my experience being backed.

Outside a couple of one off deals I had in tournaments I’ve had two large backing experiences. The first was with a friend from Milwaukee named Rob who knew I had come close to busting my roll. I approached him about backing and he was pretty eager at the chance since he knew I worked quite hard at improving and was trustworthy. Our starting deal was a fairly strange one, he gave me a roll of $10,000. If I lost it I was expected to pay back half through whatever methods I ended up making money from (that is, one day getting a job) and if I won he got 1/3rd of the profits. Basically, I was half staked. I was under Rob from around December 2005 until September 2007. In that period I think I made Rob something like $60,000 for himself, though I’ll never be entirely sure. Our basic arrangement was that I played whatever I thought was appropriate, but always okayed what I intended through him ahead of time and kept things within the bankroll. Our deal ended very amicably with him having made a sizeable profit and my having built a considerable roll with minimal risk for myself. Rob had both my online and live action, though if I chose to take an event off and play it for myself that option was always available to me.

My second and better known arrangement as been my deal with Timex . I told Timex around April 2007 that I’d be going to the WSOP and if he wanted to do any backing for the events I was open minded. Timex put a team together and had us sign contracts that said we were obligated through the entirety of the World Series. When the series was over I had lost him $61,000 and he asked if I wanted to keep going in future live events. We kept the deal running and also included the highest stakes online tournaments (mostly 1k buy ins and occasional FTOPS and WCOOP events) which I am too nity to play. At one point with Timex I was in over $125,000 worth of make up, but at the current point the number sits around $90,000. Our deal is 60-40 in his favor and he is accountable for all loses.

Now on to less self absorbed content; the most frequent question I see asked about staking is what a standard deal is. It’s hard to say exactly what the standard deal is, based on the quality of player, the stakes he’s playing for, his volume of play, whether he’s doing both online and live, etc. It seems though that the majority of staking deals are either 60-40 in the backers favor with make up or 50-50 with make up. As far as deals with no make up are concerned (often done for a single event situation) the standard seems to be 80-20 in the backers favor, though considering the variance involved there those numbers can fluctuate to a good degree.

Next most frequently asked seems to be how to get staked. This is a pretty elaborate topic. I think a list of qualities and steps towards getting backed will be appropriate here:

1. Honesty: First and foremost a player who wants to be backed needs to be considered trustworthy. If you don’t have this you are pretty much useless to a backer. Backers don’t want to operate like babysitters and they don’t want to have to deal with players who might be lying, stealing, or omitting details to them. Having an honest reputation within the community goes a long way.

2. Communication: A player needs to let his backer know what he intends to do and how. He needs to let him know what he needs and what he’ll provide. One of the most common problems in backing arrangements is a player playing an event and the backer and player not being entirely sure if the other thinks he has his action. If there is any event you either intend or hope to play, you always must let your backer know in advance to get approval unless he has given you free reign ahead of time.

3. Quality play: Smart backers know that skilled play is considerably more important than results. I can’t stress enough that just because you have some killer results doesn’t mean you deserve backing. There are plenty of random donks who run hot over a small sample and final table or take down a few tournaments and seem to think they are now entitled to a sweet backing deal. A backer wants to see a quality thought process and skilled play much more than he wants to see a few big tournament scores. If you want to establish a reputation for quality play you really ought to be contributing to strategy discussion in poker forums. It’s not only a great way to improve and learn from some of the better minds in the game, but it’s a way to prove that you think deeply about the game as well. When approaching a backer who is less than familiar with your play be willing to submit a number of animated hand histories for him to evaluate. More can be learned from this than giving them a link to your OPR stats and saying “look how much I crush dude! Ship the stakage!” As Timex puts it: “one thing to keep in mind is that even though you may be a profitable player when covering 100% of losses and getting 100% of profits, that isn't equivalent to being profitable covering 100% OF losses and getting only 60% of profits(which is the situation that the backer is accepting). So if you are a reasonable winner at your games, and think you would like a backing deal to play slightly bigger games, put yourself in the backers shoes and realize that if you aren't killing the smaller games, its difficult for you to be profitable enough at the bigger games to make it a profitable investment for the backer. And also, don't PM me, I'm more or less done looking for new horses at the moment.” Thanks boss.

4. Be easy going and accommodating: A backer doesn’t want to deal with someone who is demanding and inflexible. If a backer asks you to do something that’s reasonable, such as not play a certain tournament, don’t get your ****ing panties in a knot and your ego offended. It’s okay to tell a backer you’d really like to play a certain tournament, but going on and on about how massively +EV you are is annoying and depending on who you are and which tournament you’re talking about, possibly delusional.

5. Keep good records: Both the backer and the player should be keeping records. This will prevent possible mix ups in the future. Nothing quite dissolves a backing arrangement like an argument over money, so make sure you keep close enough track of what’s going in and out that this shouldn’t happen, and if it does, it’s easily rectified.

6. Approaching a backer: It’s pretty well known who the main backers are in the online poker community. The most normal way most are approached is either through PM or email. If you’re some nobody messaging out of the blue I don’t like your chances. However, if you have well respected friends in the poker community who are willing to vouch for your ability and trustworthiness this will help. Be mindful though, that establishing yourself in the community ahead of time is pretty relevant. If you’re a new player who has zero reputation, a few good results, and few connections your chances of getting backed are slim to none. Most of the major backers get numerous requests for backing a day, so your reputation needs to proceed you to have a realistic shot.

Next, people often ask ‘is backing right for me?’ First of all that depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Most people seeking backing are looking to get backed for what they can’t afford, and among internet players that mostly means being backed for live play since the buy ins are so high. Most players would obviously prefer to be staked only for live play and keep online for themselves, though these deals are not terribly common. The majority of backing deals, especially for less established players or new to the backing scene, are for a combination of online and live poker. You need to consider though, that in this kind of deal you run the risk of accumulating a high amount of live make up and then having to work it off with all your online volume, meaning you have no actual income for perhaps months at a time. These kind of backing deals give you the opportunity to make a large live score, but conversely put you in a position you’ll see zero online winnings if you run bad live.

We should also discuss make up. For those who aren’t aware make up is similar to debt but not the same thing. Make up is what you are down on your backing arrangement, but not necessarily money owed to your backer. That is to say, if you are in make up for $50,000, and have a net worth of $100,000 and for some reason are no longer able to play poker, you do not owe the backer $50,000 out of your own money. As far as leaving a backing arrangement in make up for no reason goes, unless you are under contract there isn’t necessarily repercussions in the traditional form of something like a lawsuit (or broken legs) but there are factors to consider. First of all if you leave a backer while in make up for no good reason it is very unlikely you’ll ever find another backer since word of your actions will get around. Also, some would consider this unethical, and it is a considerable grey area of morality. While you indeed have the right to opt out of your staking arrangement while in make up for no legitimate reason, the damage it will do to your reputation in the poker community is something you need to weigh it heavily against. A backer and a player need to set the conditions of what happens when a player is in make up but wants to change or leave an arrangement ahead of time.

Lastly there are two quick questions that often come up. First, in the case of FPP’s, who is entitled to them, the backer or player. The vast majority of the time it is the player who is considered entitled to the FPP’s. The other issue deals with expenses, travel and accommodation can be quite expensive in regards to live poker. While there are some deals that include these, the majority of the time the player is expected to pay these out of pocket.

I hope this settles some of the confusion.

------------------------

The following is a sample backing contract for the WSOP events.

Disclaimer: This document was created by a twoplustwo poster and is not endorsed by the owners of this forum. It has not been reviewed by any lawyer. It may or may not be legally binding in your jurisdiction and may or may not be missing vital details that you should discuss with the other party in the deal. Do not enter into deals with people you don’t trust as it is questionable whether this document alone will protect you!

Contract for backing arrangement between [] ("Backee") and [] ("Backers"):
Adjust percentages as appropriate

1) This Contract will be governed and executed under the internal laws of the State of [Nevada]. All of the terms listed and defined herein are assumed to mean exactly what is stated in the Contract.

2) This is the only binding understanding between Backers and Backee, and no other oral or written modifications to this Contract will have any effect, except for the specific options listed in paragraphs 3 and 14.
3) Backers will provide ("stake") Backee with the buy-ins to play a set schedule of poker tournaments (Attachment A). Each Backer will individually pay 1/2 the total buy-in for all tournaments that Backee enters under the stake, for a total of 100% of the initial buy-ins. In return, if Backee receives any prize money in a tournament, he will first refund ("makeup") each Backer's buy-in percentage for every tournament in full, then pay Backers 25% each of any remaining profits from these tournaments, for a total of 50% of the profits after the makeup is calculated.

4) Makeup is defined as outstanding debt from tournament buyins, accrued on a rolling basis. Makeup money must be paid back before any profits are split. For example, if Backee spends $120k in buy-ins and has cashed for $200k, he must pay $120k to Backers (split 50% each, in accordance with paragraph 3) before the remaining $80k can be split as profit. The final $80K is then divided between Backers and Backee on a 25%/25%/50% basis, again in accordance with paragraph 3.

5) If Backee owes makeup at the end of the schedule's completion, or if Backee does not owe makeup but wishes to continue on the stake, Backers have the option to continue this Contract in exchange for providing a further $100k in buy-ins. This means that Backers have a right to stake Backee in any live poker tournaments of their choice – meaning the only live tournaments Backee may enter must be preapproved by Backers under the terms of this deal – until another $100k in buy-ins has been accrued. The terms for this further stake will be identical to those in this Contract, and any existing makeup will continue to accrue. If this option is exercised and ends with the Backee still owing makeup, this Contract will terminate and the Backee is released from all obligations to repay it unless a new Contract is entered into by mutual agreement.

6) Backee may leave the stake at the end of the set schedule of tournaments only if Backee does not owe money in makeup, and in no case before Backee's play in the World Series of Poker Main Event has concluded. For future staking following the listed schedule of events, Backee may leave any time the stake is above the initial investment (including any makeup owed).

7) Any time the overall net profit on the stake, after any makeup has been deducted, exceeds $200k, Backers and Backee will immediately split the profits as stated in point 3. Profits will also be split after any individual win exceeding $400k. The final split of any profits will occur at the completion of the listed schedule of events in Attachment A, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties as per points 4 and 5 above.

8) All local, state, federal and international taxes, if applicable, are the responsibility of the individual receiving their share of the proceeds under this Contract. Neither Backers nor Backee are responsible for any taxes other than those they themselves may incur as a result.

9) Backee agrees not to be staked by anyone else in any live poker tournaments during the duration of the stake.

10) Backee is not obligated to play all of the tournaments on the list, although he is obligated to play any live poker tournament he enters while the Contract is in effect under its terms.

11) Backers have the exclusive right to veto, modify or accept any attempt of Backee to trade a percentage of his profits with any other player in any given tournament(s). If a trade is accepted by the Backers, Backee and the player must exercise their agreement in writing.

12) If a tournament does not take place for any reason or if Backee fails to enter any given tournament, Backee owes Backers a refund of that tournament's buy-in.

13) Backee is alloted an $8k maximum $ spent on buy-ins (including both rebuys and add-ons) for each $1k rebuy tournament. Any $ not spent on rebuys must be refunded to backers.

14) Money to enter any given event must be recieved by Backee by the morning of that event, unless all parties involved agree to arrange for Backee to receive it at a later time.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Contract as of the date first written above.

As you may know I was a good player with many big wins. I took a few years off to take a break and spend my time with family.

I am looking to get back into playing. My play is limited because my family is first. I am looking for stakes for mini series of poker on ftp. If interested email me at mortgagemike@comcast.net

... someone please see the light and stake me. It's pretty urgent now. I have 221 VPP so another 529 is never going to be possible at the stakes I'm playing, no matter what volume I put in... but with a $1k stake I can play enough $5.50 to $22 games to reach Supernova by the 31st May. But only if I get it soon...

I'm not normally an impatient person, and my play is not impatient in the slightest, a quick glance at my OPR can show you that. I'm a nice, open guy, 25, graduate, originally from London. I like a bit of banter, never mean it personally. Living in SE Asia for the time-being, really low overheads, really good internet connection. Really good form on the micro-stakes... this promotion about to end... can you see my frustration?

I hope to hear from someone soon, and I apologize for any offense any of my posts (or the sheer number of them) have offended anyone. GL to you all.

I think you have misunderstood the deal. That DOESNT give you Supernova....750 VPPs gives you platinum for 2 months. If you get 1200 VPPs, you get a credit of 60k VPPs, but, not an automatic Supernova title...same if you hit the max of 7500 VPPs - still not an instant Supernova, unless you have already collected 20k already this year.

Btw, in the friendliest, non offensive manner possible, you sound like you might have some money issues.

..I hope it works out for you though.

*Platinum, not Supernova. I didn't misunderstand the deal, I just wrote the wrong word in error. Thanks for pointing that out. Instant Platinum (compared to the Silver I'm heading for) on 31st May still too good to miss out on, no?

No offense taken, and thanks.

I have bankroll issues, yes... hence me posting on here... because I have to use my bankroll to pay the rent ($165/month) and my bills/living expenses (~$300/month). I have a couple of friends I owe $100, but nothing that needs paying back in a hurry. I can survive each month and wait for a big cash in a large-field micro MTT to come my way, or I can get staked, get Platinum instantly, and get me and my backer rich a lot quicker.

If you are interested in shares, you have to pay for expenses and a small edge.

I think $130 / 1 % is fair.

If I do not participate because of any personal reasons, money will be shipped back immeadiately. Transfers are possible via Pokerstars. Any other methods can be requested though.

Since I turn 21 on the day the WSOP Main Event begins, it’s a great chance for you to have an interest in the worlds youngest WSOP Champion ever!

So if you want to buy some percentages, just PM me (I hope thats possibel because this is my first post) and transfer the money to “hasch-poker” at Pokerstars.

I have come to the conclusion that Online Poker is not for me. I crush live poker but am a lifetime three year loser in online poker. So I am going to be getting into Staking. I will be staking people. I will be looking to stake people up to 200NL, 26 dollar mtts, and 20 dollar sngs.

I will be picking 5-10 horses. In some rare cases I might be intrested in higher MTTs if you are a proven winner.

50/50 for cash games, and sngs
55/45 for mtts(if you final table it will go 40 me 60 you)

pm me with questions

Hello,

Ironically my first post is requesting a stake, as I just found out about this site.

Truthful Bio of my short Poker Career:

1. 10$ investment into PStars, lost it all.
2. 20$ investment into PStars, lost it all.
3. Decided to try to learn a little about the game, 30$ investment into Ftilt, maxxed out at 80$ playing a very TAG-ish style. Tilted pretty hard which also coincided with the end of pledging (doubt it's a coincidence) and swindled it away.
4. Invested 20-25$ into Absolute Poker, had a lot of swings as I honed my game (for the first time I really felt like I wanted to be a serious player). Have been steadily increasing and now am at 35$.

I really feel that I am skilled to play at the 5nl or 10nl level and am looking for a stake, and ideally a coach as well.

What can I offer you?:
1. Full Contact Info.
2. 35$ at Absolute (If you prefer me playing at another website).
3. Anything Else necessary.

I am sure that my lack of posts/experience will turn most potential stakers away. However, I have the next few days free to produce a huge volume of hands to prove that I am +EV right now.

Hope to get some interested stakers,

Nick "K-noop"

Seeking a Long-Term Backer for Mid-MTT Staking.

My Name is Jared- Been playing full time for the last 2 years. Have had some decent scores Live, and mostly have played MTTs on Poker stars, and Cash on Full Tilt, but also went deep in Sunday Brawl. I have posted my OPR below for both sites.

Currently seeking stake so I can replenish my Bankroll after withdrawing most for the WSOP, and selling very little action.

I’m looking for someone to back me long-term, at small amount at first until I show them a sufficient return on there investment.

Until about 2 months ago, I was a regular at Foxwoods 2-5NL and there are numerous people I have for references.

Recently Moved to Indiana, and Will be playing in (3) events of 2009 WSOP this year, but have already sold all action.

All stakes should be 50/50, and I will be able to provide contact info, personal info over PM.

Pokerstars: I understand the sample size is small but I believe the current rate is attainable.
http://officialpokerrankings.com/pok...5F68B.html?t=2

Full Tilt- Again, relatively small sample size, but most of my play was Cash Games.

Hi, I am a 6.50 9man sng grinder. Initially deposited $100 playing 5.50 non turbos, switched to turbos after awhile, and have had swingy success.

Have built my $100 upto $1600 mostly in the 6.50s and some 16s as I was just making the crossover.

Just bought a car that I need for school next year and need to cash my roll out for some work on it. So I am looking for a stake to play $16 turbo 9 mans. I plan on playing 1-2k games a month.

I use sngwiz daily, have HEM, talk strat with a lot of top sng players and regularly post in and frequent STTF on this site. My game continues to get better and more solid, and if I get this stake I'll be putting the lil I have left of my roll towards coaching from one of the very best 9man player/coaches.

Stars - DirDirDirty

PM with any questions.

Thanks
Kevin

Syko_21 on Stars

To all: I know I've probably come across as a desperate frustrated chump so far...
As a business model, my poker is working fine. It's literally only my overheads that stop it being a hugely profitable venture. All I'm asking for is someone to back me to scale-up my business model to make my profit curve steeper than my outgoings. I keep meticulous records of all my play, returns, profit (including FPP freeroll returns), equivalent hourly rate and I am happy to send a serious potential backer my hand history (50k hands) and my Excel spreadsheet for the last 2 and a half months since I started making a go of it on Stars. Starting with roughly $45 deposit (actually 3 smaller deposits), I now have a $150 bankroll after gradually cashing out a total of over $700. My exact profit this year (last 10 weeks) is now $839.4,9 playing for an average of roughly $1.10.
$381.26 of that is this month (with another minimum $20 or $30 to come for a top 50 or 25 finish in the monthly UK & Ireland Poker League), playing for an average of $1.60 with an ROI of well over 100% in May.

Frustrated? Yes. Desperate/chump? No.

I appreciate $1k is a lot to ask when I'm new to staking and have no way of proving to you that I'm for real and not a scammer who'll do a runner with your money. I'm happy to do a trail period of (say) 50x $5.50 games to show you I'm a good investment and build up a rapport and level of trust with a backer. I swear on my mother's grave (RIP) I wouldn't do a runner because as well as it being morally wrong, it would stop me ever getting a backer again in future.

Im looking to get backed because of some investments gone wrong and needed to cash out my online roll. I have some pretty decent stats for putting in little volume...

Erm... what purpose are you trying to achieve with that post?
Jesus, how annoying are complete time- and space-wasters like yourself in forums? ...

I will just point out the difference between pleading and begging, and the fact I am/have been pleading for someone to make an investment in my play, with highly likely rapid and large rewards. And it is/was an urgent request for the reasons I've already gone into great depth to explain. How is that begging?

Plus you never know... someone might decide to stake me just to shut me up on here...

It just looks like begging. You bump your thread every few days so it looks like that. If people arent interested so be it and there is nothing u can do about it. Good luck though in your search

If there are any swedish players here that are looking to get staked i might be able to offer a deal for low to mid stakes SNG players.

I know it is a pain to get staked here so i will invest last weeks profit in 2-3 players from sweden and see if things go well.

Include sharkscope graph when you PM me, thanks.
