Just for a little background, my name is Bennet Hayes and I'm using my roommates 2p2 account because I haven't had an account active on 2p2. I am active in the P5's community (username is MAFinest22) but I figured the 2p2 marketplace would be the best place to post this. I am 25 years old and originally from the Boston area. I went to college in Washington DC at Georgetown, and have mostly stayed in the DC area after graduating in 2008. I have been playing poker professionally (pretty exclusively MTT's) since graduating, with the bulk of my experience coming online. I have always played on my own dime, so this is my first experience with any sort of staking agreement. My FTP tag is DingDongAllDay; my Stars tag MAFinest22- although my volume on Stars was declining significantly in the months leading up to Black Friday. Here are links to my OPR for both sites...
Online Poker-
DingDongAllDay (FTP)

MAFinest22 (Stars)

My most notable scores are a 3rd in the 750k on FTP and a 2nd in a big 100r on FTP (37k). I have also won the Stars nightly 100 grand and finished third in FTP's Friday Night Fight. OPR has me ranked 115th last year on FTP, and that's with me taking much of the last three months of the year off. I have played over 4k games on FTP (ABI=70) and have an ROI of 60%.
Live Poker-
Between this year and last I have played 5 WSOP events (all 1500 NLHE) and failed to cash in any, but I feel extremely comfortable in the live setting. If I wasn't at the Rio last year I was playing online, but this year I have played a few Venetian Deepstacks and final tabled one of them. I think I am close to a breakthrough in the live arena, as I have felt more and more dialed in with each one I've played. I have also played a fair amount of cash on the side (this summer especially), playing mostly 2/5 with a couple of sessions at 5/10.
Stake for the Main-
I am going to sell shares for the main at 1.2:1. I'm looking to sell ~60 percent of myself so that I have around 2-3k invested myself. Min share is 1%. I will be using twitter to send updates throughout the tournament as well.
1%- 120
5%- 600
25%- 3000
References-
Although this is my first staking experience I have lent and borrowed money extensively with a lot of people in the poker community. Guys who could vouch for this are Derek Raymond (Masterace222), DenYoungGun, Skoal and Norcalsurf83. These are all close friends; there are countless other players I have swapped money with across sites, participated in high buyin fantasy sports leagues with, and exchanged money with through P5's.
PM Denyounggun here if interested, post in thread or feel free to email me personally at
tbell16bc@yahoo.com. I can meet at the Rio to pickup or anywhere else that is convenient, use B of A transfers, or discuss other options if neither of those works for you.
