I've always had a lot of success in my life in mtts, but like i've said, i've gotten away from them over the past 8 months or so and have dedicated my time to sngs and a small part of cgs.

I'm looking for someone who wants to stake me in the 109r's (14:00/20:00) tourneys and nightlys. I'll also throw in other tourneys as per your request if you would like. I don't like to have a ton going bc i like to pick up tactics on players and whatnot. Therefore, i like to keep it to ~4 tables or so.

If anyone is interested, please pm here on 2p2 and i'll get back to you with my AIM or better contact info if you would like to discuss a deal. I currently have a staking deal for $570 hu sngs that i will be keeping, but i would love to add a few mtts on the side as well.

Feel free to contact me about my references as well. I currently stake a few players who i like to think of as 'big names' . but they can vouch for me that i'm a very reliable and honest person.

Thanks a lot everyone. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

-backrhodes

still looking for a possible mtt staker. c'mon everyone, i'm not that bad!! haha, hope to hear from you guys soon. take care everyone.

Hi Guys,

first of all, this is a gimmick account.
I am a Mod on 2+2 ! (and will obv give away personal info to backers\mods)

Ok, i used to play a lot of MTT´s last year (won TLB i.e.), then after a downswing (obv i started sucking and not adapting well, too) i switched over to playing cash. Yesterday i played a few tournies again and since i will also play a big live event soon, i thought, why not get back into tournies next to playing cash.
Usually i am totally against beeing backed since i´m giving away money ldo and prefer to play on my own. However a friend of mine also plays cash and is backed for tournies and i sorta like how it works out for him.

I´m doing ok at HU cash. I 6-12 table and make like 7-10PtBB. By that i mean, i know how to read hands etc and do what is called "playing poker". Thats actually my biggest strength.
I am aware of NE-shoving ranges and that good "all in stuff" since many of my HU opponents are shortstacks.
I got HH´s from the two tournies, so you get an idea how i play.
I also have a well known tourney player living with me and other bznz ppl who can vouch for my integrity.


Here´s the deal:

I´ll be honest with you. I am not looking to play tournies full time, since i´m really making good money at my bread and butter - HU cash. Its the "big score" here and there what i´m looking for. I have backed ppl for smaller stakes myself so i know both sides. In know that you - as a backer - are interested in high volume. In return for not playing 8tournies a day etc, i am willing to guarantee u action for a certain period of time even if i start winning everything that i enter.

I believe this deal is big time +EV for a potential staker and simply variance free "shots at a big score" for me.


For more info, pls pm me and we can sort out things. Please be aware that i´ll be only checking this gimmick every other day, but pm´s will be answered.


Edit BF: Confirmed IP match to a mod who has more than enough posts to qualify for this thread, so it can stay even though the gimmick doesn't qualify.

put in most of my volume on stars. most people in ssmtt forum can vouch for me as being a respectable person, and player. ive received several stakes from people in ssmtt in the past, id say most would say it was a quick and painless stake. if you have any questions about details, feel free to pm me.

major swongs and bad br managment have crushed my roll, and ive lost the will to play $2 donkaments. looking to play on stars mainly as most of my favorite tourneys are on stars. pretty sure im due for a huge heater. i would also like to take a few shots at some bigger stuff if youre interested, but if i need to prove i can win for you at small to mid stakes first then i am willing to do whats neccessary.

Hola 2p2,

I am a MSNL 6max player and am looking to take up staking. I have created a new account to hide my identity but if you are selected then you will get to know who it is.

You can apply for stakes in any of the following areas.

NL 50 - NL 400, FR, 6m, or HU. The higher you want to play the better you need to be.

$12-$70 Sng's, same applies here.

$11-$200 MTT's. And again here.

What I am not staking for.

Limit
Micros
Any type of game other then nl holdem other then POSSIBLY PLO. But if you want PLO you're going to have to prove your worth it.

If you have less then 500 posts (yes that is correct, five hundred), and have been a member of 2p2 for less then 3 months. No need to apply. In fact id like for a mod to just remove any application that doesnt fit that bill but if thats too much work for them I will just ignore you.

No need to pm me, ill pm you if I want you. I am not going to be responding to anyone I dont initiate contact with.

In this thread you just have to sell yourself to me. I have no idea how many people im going to take, depends on the talent projected to me.

Good Luck.

Go
oops, sorry, I just PM'd you my application without reading the part about not wanting any PM's. Hope that doesn't hurt my chances. If you have any questions let me know. thanks

Advanced Posting Tip

Doing it right:

[x] areaman
[ ] everyone else

You don't all need to quote LDB2+2's entire post when responding. Rather then making us all scroll through the same 30 line post being quoted again and again, it's much nicer if you trim down the quoted part like areaman did.

Go
I am am very interested in playing either fr100nl and possibly higher and 11-26 mtt's. I started off playing mostly small stakes mtt's from $5 up to the occasional $75. After a few decent scores i started to grind fr cash games and did fairly well imo. I feel i can beat fr for a pretty good rate and also am very solid in mtt's. Ive been staked for a few mtt's by a member of this site for a few mtt's and did quite well for him. I play as backroadbural on ftp. here are some stats.





Thanks and good luck.

Who I Am
My name is Bob and I'm a UF student. I am not a professional player, but I have been using poker winnings lately for various school expenses.

My Poker Experience

I started playing seriously around my registration date for 2+2. From March to May I won about $2000 on Bodog 3 tabling 10NL-100NL. I was never able to beat 200NL during my time at Bodog. In June I moved my play over to Pokerstars. With some coaching I was able to beat 100NL pretty well and move up successfully to 200NL by the end of the month. In July I continued 4 tabling 200NL and did well there but was unable to find success at 400NL. In August I began playing 12 tables on a 15" monitor to try to reach Supernova faster and it didn't work out to well. I wasn't playing my A game for most of the month and didn't win very much. In September I was able to get a new monitor. I started 12 tabling to get to Nova but the results have not been as good as I'd hoped
Why I need staking

I had about $8000 in my roll in August and now it sits at under 2K. Where did it go? I cashed out 2K for a trip to the Turning Stone. I didn't put any of that back into my account...some went for the vacation, and some I used for day to day expenses later on and buying stuff at the beginning of the semester. I lost the majority playing tournaments. I hate tournaments but when a big one comes up I'd play it figuring I could grind it back. WCOOP was terrible for my roll. Also playing a bunch of tables makes it difficult for me to play my A game.I would like return to NL200 on Stars and I simply don't have the roll to do it.

Why you should stake me

I am a winning player who loves the game and is constantly looking to get better. I've been coached by two solid MSNL players and have coached a few uNL guys as well. If you stake me I would take this very seriously. No more grinding it out when I'm tired or not pumped to play. If you stake me I will bring my A game 100% of the time. I won't sit at the first 4 tables that pop up, but I'll always be looking to play in games where I have a large edge. I am somewhat busy with school and my rugby team but I should be able to put in 20000 to 30000 hands a month and make at least $2000 for the backer. I am not looking to screw anyone. If you make me an offer I will let you know whatever relevant information you need and I'll keep in touch as often as you want to let you know how it's going or talk poker or whatever comes to mind. If you want to coach/sweat me every so often I'd love the opportunity.

my stats...June and July mostly 4 tabling...August and September mostly 12 tabling for Nova


What I'm looking for in a stake

I will play 4 tables of 200NL 6 max on Pokerstars. I would like a 50/50 split of all of my action but will consider other offers if some coaching is involved. We would settle at the end of the month. If I have a losing month the first month I will make it up playing whichever levels the backer would like. If I have a winning month we will go from there as I'm not sure how long I want to continue to be staked.

PM me with your Skype, AIM S/N, or email address if you're potentially interested in staking me.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi. I played poker for a living (HSLHE) for the past two years, quit and withdrew my entire roll as of January of this year. I was daytrading for $ but that went quite sour and I am going back into real estate(my employment prior to poker). The licensing course is going to take me around a month to complete and during this month I thought I would play some HU sng's in the downtime (classes run 3 hours and there are huge breaks in between sessions where I'll be sitting in a wireless hotspot in midtown doing nothing). I don't have a convenient method of deposit so I thought I'd look for backing. I'm willing to split the profits 50/50 since the $ won't be lifechanging for me and I'm mostly just itching to play again. My sharkscope is pretty bueno I guess and I'm looking to play HU sng's in my downtime(6.25 turbo's and up...I don't care how large you want me to play but that is the minimum I'm willing to do). I 2-table these on my laptop and have pretty good stats. If you're interested PM me.

Below are my stats.

^^ FTP

I'm very confident that I have an edge in these tourneys (a pretty good one in the majors), and I can put in as much or as little volume as you would like. Shoot me a pm if you're interested. I'm also very willing to listen to coaching advices. I've had successful purchases off 2p2'ers for a pretty significant sum of money (bought a MacBook Pro from Marketplace), and, as I said earlier, I am currently staked by a 2p2'er that lives far away from me in $75 and below tourneys.
LDB2p2, I don't have 500 posts quite yet, but I do have some references. So, here is my application.

edit - I really feel like I'm missing out on a ton of equity by not having a stake in these tourneys, so it seems like a perfect fit. I guess I'll know soon enough if you feel the same.

im sorry to do this, but this is very, very fishy.

A High stakes limit player should know some ppl in the game that would stake them for a decent level, and shouldnt resort to 6$ HUSNG's. Besides that, you should have a big DB of cash game hands...

Carry on.
10-01-2008 , 08:58 PM
Hi all,

I am a 200NL HU player, soon to be moving to 400NL, who has had a >10ptbb WR from 50NL-200NL HU over my last 75k hands, including a 15BI tilt session(read: open shoving) at 100NL.

I want to stake/coach several people (3-6) from uNL who are winning/BE/slightly losing players at 25/50NL 6m.

I will take 60/40 profits for a minimum of 100k hands of HU. The rakeback will be split 60/40 in your favor. If you play on stars, profits will be 65/35, and the FPP's are yours.
The normal 50/50 that would be provided on a stake will be changed due to the coaching involved. I will provide hours of coaching through sweat sessions, HH review, video write ups, etc. I expect to take you from 25NL-**at least** 100NL during the course of the stake.

Things that YOU must have.

1) References from 2p2, or people very well known on p5's. If you cannot provide even one, DO NOT PM ME.

2) a desire to go from a 1k-2k month, to a 5k-15k month.

3) Some understanding of the game.

4) You will need skype, teamviewer, and PT3 or HEM.

5) graphs/stats of your own play. If it is not over a 40k hand sample, again, do not bother.


IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE REQS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT SAY 'IF NOT THAN DONT PM ME'...SRSLY, DONT PM ME I WILL JUST DELETE YOUR PM.

Yes. I was looking to scam people in increments of 6.25. I don't see what was wrong with my post, and am rather annoyed that you would question me. Mind your business next time if you're not interested.

i am looking to get staked for the 10-20 and 15-30 omaha hi lo games on stars...

I have a lot of omaha hi lo experience and feel that i can beat this game for a good rate. I have played omaha hi lo up to 30-60 with a half kill in live settings and am well versed in the game. When i play live i almost exclusively playing omaha hi lo. I have played a decent amount online, but never really put in a significant amount of hands. I find it hard to grind 2-4 and 3-6 online when i am usually playing at least 10-20 and 20-40 kill games live. I made a deep run in a wsop omaha hi lo event. At this time i am staked for mtt's and sngs but my current backer would not like to back for cash games because he is not familiar with them. If you would like to talk to him about how my current stake is going i will see if he will.

I have many people on 2p2 who can vouch for me. PM me if you have an questions. Thanks.

I'm a regular poster in SSNL looking for a NL100 6-max stake (20-30 buyins).

Reference: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54...t=#post4894177

Link contains this graph (01/2008-06/2008):



I also made around $35k in 2007.

Basically I didn't play enough during the summer to keep up with my living expenses and then finally busted my br around two weeks ago refusing to move down from NL100.

My current life situation allows me to play maybe 15-20k hands per month (I mostly 3-4 table), perhaps a bit more. I'm doing my civil service until July 2009 which means the government is paying my rent + a little extra over this time so I could pay a decent percentage of the (potential) winnings to the staker.

My winrate is estimately around 3.5-4 ptbb/100 over 3-400k hands of NL100.

I've played on:
B2B 10/2006 to 12/2006 (NL4-NL10)
FTP 01/2007 to 09/2007 (NL10-NL200)
PS 10/2007 to 12/2007 (NL50-NL200)
Prima 12/2007 (NL50-NL100HU)
FTP 01/2008 to 02/2008 (NL80-NL200)
AP 3/2008 to 5/2008 (NL100-NL200)
FTP 6/2008 (NL100-NL200)
Ongame 7/2008 to 8/2008 (NL100-NL200)
FTP 9/2008 (NL100)

I went pro in April 2007 which basically (combined with my poor money management skills) cost me the ability to move up in stakes.

I would be playing preferrably on FTP (sn drtylbstr). PM me with questions and/or offers.

Normally I would post for MTT backing but i thought i would try and get staked for my bread and butter game PLO,

So i want to be staked at PLO200 or/and 2/4 capped PLO, I want this because im probably a bit to nitty with my personal money and wanted to give it a shot,

I play PLO everyday mostly, i have 40k logged hands but have played about 150-200k hands that's just off the top off my head, im running at just under 4bb, If your interested and want some more info I.E graphs, reference etc or just more information in general don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks

Looking to sell my SNG action for the next month.

The only SNGs I'm currently playing are the $12 45/180mans; $25 6max turbos; and $6.50 18/45mans... but not too much of these.

My stats are:

$12 45's* - rmthawk64 191 $7.41 $11 62% $1,415 Tilt PokerStars E45-45 S10-15 Spd=

$25 6's* - rmthawk64 220 $6.52 $23 26% $1,435 - PokerStars E6-6 S20-30 Spd=T

$12 180's - rmthawk64 94 $6.77 $11 56% $636 - PokerStars E180-180 S10-15 Spd=T

$6.50 45/18 combined - rmthawk64 188 $1.77 $6 28% $332 Super Tilt PokerStars E18-45 S5-10 Spd=T

* = has my fin. Also would like to note that I will obtain my fin in the $12 180's once I hit 100 games.

My overall SS looks like this:

rmthawk64 2,273 $1.71 $11 14% $3,893 Super Tilt PokerStars


If you care, I'm a decent winner in MTT's, as well. Feel free to OPR/DB if you'd like.



So, what I'm looking for is $1,000 to cover my SNG action for the next month. Willing to do weekly-bi weekly payments if wanted.

I'd like to run this @ 60/40 me because it's rather low-risk, IMO... and I also plan on putting in ~50+ SNGs a day.


EDIT: I'm fairly sure that a handful of SSMTT/MTTc'ers would vouch for me if needed.

Hi there.

Looking for stake at 2/4 plo (stakes are flexible and willing to discuss other possible suggestions)

Have been staked by reputable staking company in the past and recently completed 50k hand stake with another 2+2er at 2/4 on the ipoker network with profits of over $13,500 not inc. rakeback deal.

Pokerstars PLO regs at said limit might recognise me as recently played ~5k hands at 2/4 and 3/6 on the site.

Have several references, please PM me for stats/graphs etc
