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.
