Playing the following WCOOP events:

1 5-Sep Fri 14:30 $215 NL Hold'em [6-max] $1,000,000
6 7-Sep Sun 16:30 $530 NL Hold'em* $3,000,000
8 8-Sep Mon 16:30 $320 8-game Mixed Event $200,000
10 9-Sep Tue 16:30 $215 Razz $100,000
11 10-Sep Wed 14:30 $320 PL Omaha Hi/Lo $300,000
16 12-Sep Fri 16:30 $215 PL Omaha [1R1A] $300,000
18 13-Sep Sat 16:30 $215 HORSE $300,000
30 19-Sep Fri 16:30 $1,050 PL Omaha $500,000

I'm willing to sell up to 50% stake on each event. I'm mostly selling to reduce variance and because some of these are above my normal buyins, but I'm taking 1.1:1 on the money because I believe I have at least 40% ROI in these events.

NLHE results speak for themselves, I'm a 200-600PLO cash pro and I've cashed in the 3 FTOPS HORSE events I've played, including a 3rd and 11th.

I have successfully traded $ with reputable 2+2ers and have made good on a 15% stake payment ($3,000). I am also not a ginger, which should contribute to my trustworthy image.

I appreciate your PMs.

for 50/100 ill sell as much as 75% or as little as 25%.
for 100/200 ill sell as much as 90% or as little as 50%.

if you dont know who i am or whether im talking about limit or nl, there's no chance we'll work anything out anyways. so ... yeah.

Why should I know who you are?

Looking for some backing for some of the WCOOP events, just everything $530 and under NLHE events only, no rebuys. PM me if you are interested.


If you don't know who I am, you can sharkscope me under TheLipoFund. I have several references on this site if needed.

Oh and the new $215 Turbo every sunday night would be a great stake too if anyone is interested in that

I am looking to play in these WCOOP events.



I believe these tournaments would be the best value for my skill set. I play small stakes 6 max NLHE on FTP and Pokerstars after making the transition from full ring. My screenname is jcg2005 on both sites. Here is my graph + stats for 25 to 100, both pot limit and no limit. (most of the 25nl is FR)






Lately i have gotten back into MTTs. Here is my OPR




I have done successful transactions with numerous 2p2ers. I can list them all if necessary. I have also had profitable staking arrangements in the past with ICmoney, Kolotoure, and Thac. All of whom i believe would vouch for me.

I am only asking to be backed for these specific events but if the stake for these events turns out to be sucessful and the backer decides that he wants to put me into more events, i would be open for discussion.

If you are interested feel free to PM me or send me an email @ urabeezy925@aim.com. Thanks for your time.

OK, trying this again.

Originally looked for a stake a month and a half ago here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=239

Got some interest, but had some commitments come up and I felt like I wouldn't have enough time to play. I'm looking for a little different scenario than my OP, but some stuff there still applies. Here's a rough outline of what I'm looking for:

*30-40 BI stake at 25NL/20-30 BI stake at 50NL

*Would like to play at a site where I get rakeback, but 1) I can't get it on FTP (not sure if I'm linked to an affiliate or if FTP would offer it to me anyway) 2) I hear Cake Poker is 2p2 nitville and 3) could go the UB route but that would be more up to the staker. With that out of the way, it seems like Stars is the best place still unless there are smaller sites with RB that offer decent service and methods of deposit/withdraw

*No coaching deal, at least at the start (I mentioned I was looking for coaching in my OP)

Other relevant details (my history, graph, references) are in my linked post. I'd rather discuss details of a stake by PM/AIM.

If you've played limit poker on AP over hte past 2 years for an extended period of time, you would almost for sure recognize me. And since the AP community is pretty tight nit, if you did, we'd be able to establish a person to hold an escrow pretty easily.

If you arent, then it's going to be pretty damned difficult to prove myself as worth staking and even harder to establish the necessary trust.


If you're really interested and you need credentials, you can look at the "AP Regulars" thread in the short handed small stakes hold em thread. It's actually for AP regulars between small and midstakes, and probably half of the people in there are exclusively 10/20+. Virtually all the people who play with me hold me in high esteem, and i saw a few flattering posts by long time posters on 2+2 who said they considered me to be one of the best regulars on the site.


Trust is a bigger issue though. To be honest, there are maybe 4 people that i know in an online-only sense that i would be willing to just ship money to without any questions. Which means that if you wanted a percentage of me in a game, i'd need the money up front unless you're one of those several people or are willing to have us jointly escrow it to someone we both trust, it wont work out.


The more i think about it, the less likely it is to work out. I just thought I'd throw it out there just in case someone wanted to.

Hi, I am interested in a coaching/staking deal for 6max NLHE. I have been playing online poker for slightly over a year and have had some success at the game. I joined card runners in November of last year, and have become a better player. I am currently playing 100NL at the moment after cashing out earlier this year. I took a couple vacations in august and have just played a little sporadically this month. I want to get serious about poker again once fall comes along. I have played NL 200 before from April-May, with some decent success in April and May. My long term goals are to move up to the higher stakes games. You can check my table ratings information here http://************/5wchsg . That’s probably better coverage than my database currently has since I updated to poker tracker 3. You can pm me for stats/positional stats if you want.

I’m basically looking for a 200NL stake right now or 400 if you want. I only have slightly over $4,000 in my account right now and want to play the limits with smaller variance. (Will screenshot it if you want.) I know that 20 buyins, should be almost enough for playing 200nl. I will probably like to put in at least 30,000 hands a month. Having a larger bankroll will enable to get over the fear of having losing sessions and allow me to play longer sessions which I have trouble doing right now. I will be willing to provide daily updates of my progress to my backer. Also, coaching would be ideal if it can be provided, but it’s not necessary. Terms can be discussed over PM.

Hi 2p2,

I'm looking for a stake for the 3$ 45s, 6$ 45s, 12$ 45s, or 12$ 180s. I've worked a lot on my game the past year but due to having to withdraw due to personal issues I don't have an online roll anymore. TheLipoFund has staked me in the past and he can vouch for me that I am honest and committed to improving my game.

The main game I'd be looking to play is the 45s since I've had success with them in the past. I'd be willing to put in a good amount of volume and go over hands over AIM or any other method.

Stars:
Pok4 Hax0r 1,516 $0 $3 25% $525

ROI was 45% until I hit a major swong playing 180s. =/

Feel free to PM me with any questions or w/e.

oh giel dont be silly

ill stake you again

Situation: I want to play WCOOP events. I am a BR nit. You have money. You will stake me. haha.

Anyways, i'm a long time grinder on stars, usually playing around $150s and under and the occasionally sunday million, but i'm a HUDGE br nit, and I really try to be smart with my money. I want to play the NLHE events and i'll prolly take a pretty bad percentage since it's a short term stake. First event starts September 5th, so sorry for such a short notice, but i've decided i want to play.

Here are my stats:

Stars:



FTP:



Some Achivements:

-Won Stars Weekly TLB
-Top 3 in 50/50 multiple times
-Won 27.50 Multiple Times
-Won 5r, 3r, multiple times each
-4th in Nightly Hundred Grand, $100 FO FTs, $75 FO on FTP win.
-Tons of experience, like 200 FTs in all, i've been there done that.



i've done several thousand dollar transfers and i've posted in MTT strat for a while and i'm trustworthy. I'm a member of many training sites, read a ton of strat on 2+2 and work really hard on my game. Drop me a PM if interested, thanks!



EDIT: i'd also be interested in a LONG term stake for the sunday majors too, i'm overrolled for them myself, but like i said i'm a nit, there's a ton of variance in MTTs, so i like to be smart with my money. id like to keep my action for the stuff lower than sunday majors, but i thought id jus like to throw that out there. holla.

Hey there,

100NL reg who is looking for a solid stake.

I just recently played ona 50nl stake which I have stats and graphs over about 100,000 hands.

I play 6 max and HU cash.

I use holdem manager and will keep track of all hands and keep you updated daily.


Heres a quick look of my 6 max and HU stats on my 50nl stake.

I would of kept continuing with the stake but unfortunatly my backer went on a rough downswing so he had to cash out for bills. He is definatly a reliable reference who can vouch for me.

Looking to play 50-100NL for an optimal 20-40 bis.

PM me or send me an instant message on aim: pokerstar103

still looking for a backer...

I'm looking to sell pieces of myself in three tournaments in the borgata poker open... the 2500+150 on sep 10, the 5000+200 on sep 12 and the 9600+400 on september 14th. The total buy-in is 17850, and I'll be selling 1% pieces for $230, which is just under 30% mark-up (i.e. it's profitable for you if my ROI is higher than 30%).

I'd also like to sell pieces of myself in the WCOOP ME at $67 for 1%.

I'm not sure I'll be able to find enough backers on short notice, so deal is canceled if I can't sell 65%ish in each case.

About me:

My current main game is MSNL HU cash. Here are my year-to-date stats there:



Before that, I played 6-max cash. Here's the last 12 months of that:



I can get a ton of respected 2p2ers to vouch for my trustworthiness and poker mind.

Don't know what else to say. I can provide any additional information to people who are legitimately interested. Please contact me by PM 'cause I'm not sure if I'll be checking this thread.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a longer term stake.

If you look at my OPR you'll see that I'm solidly a winning player. I had been playing on a stake from 2p2er nutshot2 for 6 weeks or so in the summer. While I played for him I crushed and made a couple thousand dollars for each of us.

In the last 120 days my ROI is 95% for profifts of $9,475. My ROI for NLH (which is the only tournaments I will play staked) is 102 %. My sn is stak1 on Stars if you want to see for yourself.

My Sharkscope graph shows both that I'm a winning player and why I need this stake. I have total profit of over 5k, most of that coming from 22/180s which I fairly well crush too. I have an ROI in 180s of over 100%.

As you can see in the graph, I recently lost 1k straight. I play HULHE as well as MTT's and I saw an uberfish sitting at a 500 dollar husng. I decided to take a shot, ran bad and lost. He played very badly though so I convinced him to play again. The second time I ran even worse than the first and lost quickly. I decided it wasn't my night and stopped.

I don't regret taking those shots, as I feel I was massively +EV, it just didn't work out for me. Since I withdraw a lot of money for expenses (or at least I did when they had Cashrefund) I'm looking to go back on a stake to avoid the RoR involved in playing 50 fos and 22r on a relatively short roll.

If anyone is interested in a long term deal for normal tourneys, PM me back here or AIM me, my sn is stak1.

References: I'm 100 percent trustworthy and am not looking to grim anyone. I was in a long term relationship with nutshot2 who can vouch for my trustworthiness. I always promptly and accurately reported my balance, and sent any profits right away when we agreed to chop. I've done other xfers with 2p2ers and never had any problems at all.

Good luck to all and hope to hear from potential backers soon...

Stak

i had no idea this forum existed. i'm looking for a stake to play live limit hold em in cali and vegas. i am not and never have been fully rolled for the games i play even when i played as low as 20/40, but have always somehow survived. most of my experience is in seattle in the aforementioned 20/40 and 50/100-100/200 in the muckleshoot game that featured the likes of travis, rep, chris s, ian j, tommy, goofball, etc. if you play limit hold em you know who these guys are and know it's not an easy way to make a living play with them. since that game broke i've spent a lot of time at commerce playing 40 and 60, with occasional 100. a lot of bay 101 40/80 and 80/160 and some bellagio/world series 100.

have winning results in all games. lapc was a +31.2k in 9 days. first WPT championship trip was +51k in 8 days. second WPT championship trip was +4.9k in 7 days, but i won a seat into the 25k tourney in a mega sat (busto second day ). all of this march was spent at bay101. i won 24k, though it seems a lot of the locals thought i was crushing/running great. world series was an adventure. was immediately down 30k, got even, got down 20k, got up a 15k, then rode the rollercoaster the rest of the way. finished the trip -11k for the two months playing exclusively 100 at bellagio and rio.

i've never been a bankroll nit or a life nit. always been willing to play/spend above my means when i think i have an edge. but i'm a little older now and want to remove some of the ROR and stress in my "career". even though i lost "only" 11k during the series months, my cash flow was -40k due to high expenses, extravagant spending, along with some degenerate behavior in the pit. this is not atypical of me.

want to work out something long term. say from now to the end of january. i want to be on my own for next lapc, but am open to restarting something after that. you'd put me in to play full time in all the games i mentioned above. at bay and bellagio i always play the 80 and 100, but in commerce i play whatever seems like the best game that day between 40 and 100. i'd like to play 200 and bigger when available because i think i have an edge is some of those games too, but cannot back that up empirically. so obviously would not require that to be part of the stake, but can be if you choose. 50/50 with makeup seems standard.

my plans for the time period of the stake can be discussed, but as of now i am planning to spend oct and dec at bellagio for their big tournaments. sept and nov are open to anything. january is good in vegas and i'd rather not spend consecutive months in la. i'm currently in vegas waiting to see if anything picks up on and after labor day weekend. i'm nomadic and drive to where ever i'm going.

i don't know what else belongs here but if you have questions about me or offers for me, feel free to pm. i suppose for reference you can ask the locals in each venue about me and they can tell you if i'm a winning player or not. the commerce crowd probably doesn't know me well as i haven't done as many 100/200 hours there as other places. this is not a small venture and i don't know how things are standardly done, so feel free to be in contact and start a dialogue. it will be long term and has the potential to be very lucrative. i'd prefer only long term deals, as limit holdem is a long term game, but if you have something else (perhaps only now through festa al lago) in mind i will consider it. i'm not crazy about my name being completely out on 2p2, though some in the community know and others will be able to figure it out, but if you want to know who i am i can pm you.

thanks.

Yeah i can answer any questions about stak, great guy and very profitable player.....pm me if neces

Hi i am looking for a backer who will stake me at nl400.
I am a reguler nl200 player and also used to be a reguler at nl400.
Here are my stats of the last few month.
pt stats and allinev-pic are from this month!

last few month (w/o this month):


this month:


like you see my winrate this month isn't great but i am running bad and to approve this here my ev-luck graph of this month (no setups etc. included...):



kind of the deal:
you will stake me for nl400 and you will get 50% of the winnings + stakingamount
if i lose money you will obv. only get the remaining stakingamount back
the staking can be made for fixed winnings or hands played you choose if you are interested tell me what of both you want and how big the winnings or hands played should be till the deal ends

my reason for getting staked:
i want to cashout as much as possible from my onlineroll and am willing to give up a bit of value for a staker however if you don't want to stake me for the hole amount you can also stake me for 50% of my action and get 25% (50% of 50%...) from my winnings i would take the rest amount of money out of my one pocket however till the deal should be ev+ for both sides staking me for 100% would be more ev+ for you

pm me if interested

If you don't mind my asking; why are you not continuing to stake him/staking him again?

Do you play Full Ring or 6m? Also I think it is kind of unlikely any backer will be happy with a deal, where should you lose the stake the backer gets nothing back, or to a lesser degree should you make a loss on the stake over the agreed period this loss is not paid back via make-up, as per most staking agreements, just a fyi.

hey i am not sure if i put it in the right words till my english isn't great

i play 6max only
em what i meant is let's say i get staked 100% for 8k and the deal is to play 30k hands and after this i only got 6k left. The backer will than obv. get his remaining 6k back but the 2k i lost not obv i mean that's the risk of backing or not? otherwise backing wouldn't make any sense...
and if i got 16k$ after 30 days the backer will get 12k (8k$ he stacked me with and 50% of 8k$ winnings...) i thought this how making works isn't it?

antoher example... if you stake me 50% for 4k and i would put the other 4k up meself and i would only got 6k remaining after the deal is over the 2k losings will be obv split so the backer don't loses 100% of the total lost if he only stacks me for 50%... however if i am able to build up my roll to 16k than the backer will get 6k$ (4k$ he staked me with and 50% winnings of his 50% action)

Say I backed you, which I prolly won't because its a bit too much money, I would do a 50-50 deal, with 100% make-up.

So should you end the stake -2k, I would then require you to play at a level you could beat until you made back the 2k, this could still be 50-50 profits, so until you make 4k in that case. But make-up can get messy and people can pay themselves out of make-up using RB or whteva.

The use of make-up in a backing deal reduces the risk for the backer. It's generally used if the stakee is considered a high risk investment afaik.

ah ok i get your point trough i wouldn't be interested in getting required to win the moeny i lost while the deal all back till the backer than pretty much don't got any risk to lose anythink...
but however i get the point

Just had a bad run of my own and staking isn't such a great idea for me right now given the level he wants to play....would be too big a percent of my liquid funds. Absolutely a +EV investment though, i just don't have room in my finances right now to potentially handle a downswing from a horse etc

The main risk is that they take the money and run.

^^ Thanks Nutshot.

lol, countdown to busto for nutshot2 imho.



my action for WCOOP is pretty much sold

and my sunday major action is pretty much sold too.



thanks for the PMs!
