The short answer is: I don't.

The long answer is: I am going to be much more rigid than I was in the past, with a very specific schedule that I stick to. There will be no more "I've had a few beers but I can still play fine" or "it's late at night but I'm a poker player and my schedule is flexible". I have accountability now: I'm accountable to my backer and to my coach. We have agreed on set times that I will grind. Both of these people are highly successful and their support means a lot to me. Both of these people are also more than willing to end the contract with me if I f**k up and don't stick to our agreement. So I think there is sufficient incentive for me not to f**k up. I have much more to lose this time.
Actually you have LESS to lose this time, because you're playing with someone else's money. There's even more incentive for you to play drunk and play beyond your bankroll now, because it's not your own money you're playing with.

It's going to be interesting to see if you can stick to your new plan. If it was me personally, there is no way on earth I would stake you. My guess is that they're staking you to keep the thread going (and hence the entertainment/trainwreck) rather than for any financial gain on their behalf. Hopefully, for your sake, they are not, and they actually believe you can pull this off.

Anyway good luck, I hope you can make a success of this!

Welcome back. lul.
The backing agreement has been made in such a way that it's almost impossible for me to break any of the rules, even if I was degenerate enough to try. I'm supervised every live session I play, by either the backer himself or by other friends of his who have been assigned to supervise me. I give updates as to my start time and finishing time, my table number and seat number, any major hand histories I play throughout the session, etc. And as of now, I can tell you that I've made more than 3 buyins profit for both my live backer and my online coach, so even if they were to end the arrangement now, they would both be up money.

I learnt to live cheaply. I'd eat meat pies from 7/11, Hungry Jack's, cheap food from Asian takeaway restaurants. I also found a cheap Thai restaurant that sells large plates of food for $10 each, so my girlfriend and I go there a bit, and she usually contributes now.

Thank you for the welcoming. It's good to be back.

Going to restaurants and eating hungry jacks isnt living cheaply. It costs $16 just for a large whopper meal. Living cheaply means home cooking. Your gf still hasn't learned to cook?

Good to see you back and good to see you're situation sorted. Hopefully that big downswing will be the best thing that ever happened to you and you'll bounce back more humble, more focused, more dedicated and be much more successful.

Unless you're a complete piece of **** then it's much harder to degen someone else's money than your own and despite what some haters in the thread have to say you've never come across to me that kind of person. I reckon playing on stake will be the best thing for you, I wish you all the best and am looking forward to the updates.

@Spin: from past experiences, I can tell you that I'm certainly more careful with other people's money than I am with my own. I've done much smaller staking agreements in the past and I never degen'd in any of those, even unsupervised. There's also yet to be a person who has staked me multiple times who hasn't made a profit off me overall, and I'm determined to continue that trend.

Thank you! I really believe that this is all true.

To put it bluntly... Don't **** this up this time.

Losing sense of self worth coupled with gaming addiction is a muhfuh. Gotta do everything you can to avoid being in that situation again.

Welcome back and good luck!

Now I can't even laugh at the ways you were able to dump stacks in ways I couldn't even think off because you'll just be losing someone else's money. That's a bummer.

Yeah i mean, after the string of actions/decisons/life choices OP have documented through the course of this thread he is pretty much one of the last persons i know that i would consider staking for 1/3.

I guess his backer just have so much money he doesent even know what to do with all of it, so he just wants some entertainment/excitement for his money.

Word on the street his backer is Chad Powers and he wants OP to pay back the makeup after he loses.

I'm the one backing 6b, I am definitely not known to spew my money. For those already hating on 6b after he is as transparent as he is, why do you guys have such toxic negative attitudes? #unwholesome

Reminds me of the missionaries who go to places like Afghanistan. They mean well and are very nice people trying to make a difference in peoples lives, but they are too naive for their own good and end up getting their heads chopped off and nobody is surprised.

Why are you staking him? Do you think he will give you a good financial return on your investment?

6betme isn't the same anymore, he endured a very tough training by his 3 masters during this time he took off:

rich checkmaker: advanced live reads technique & life advice
rapidesh123: ultimate gto strategy
valentjnn: BRM & mental game

with such strong specialists on those areas behind 6-betme there's no way he will go busto this time! solid investment by staking him!

vaaaaamooo

Why does this still read like the biggest troll ever? You know where else they have big amounts of food for $10? The grocery store.

OP donked off a healthy $10K roll by a myriad of poor poker and life choices repeatedly,while at the same time claiming that he so easily could beat live 1/3 and 2/5. Yeah, he crushed so hard that he went busto.

I am curious to know how he suddenly and as a miracle will be transformed to a success story with solid judgement and good decisionmaking as soon as somebody is willing to stake him.

I think you guys are really making losing/spending a $10k roll over a couple of months into a much bigger deal than it is.
