Actually I am going to try it out 50/50 40/60 but I keep all Milestone money and we start with 2/4 after 50k hands if all is well move up to 3/6 with 500 BB's and go from there as high as 10/20. I should make a extra $11k minimal with the milestones. Not the greatest deal I guess but it takes financial stress off of me at the moment.

Absolution I ain't running all that great 36% wtsd 53.1% W$SD on the month and is very close to what I had in my old data base with 120k hands. Been studying my butt of on DC and Stox's though and has been very +ev. I still have leaks but am trying to plug them like the rest of you I am sure. If anyone is interested a few of us on DC are starting a 6 max small stakes Skype sweat team for more info PM me. It is totally free and has been very helpful so far for me.

What is your bankroll? Monthly expenses? Do you have a job? That seems like a horrifically bad deal for you.

Just under $3k and atm poker is my job I can stop the deal at any time is it really that bad of a deal?

What is this ?

That depends on your monthly expenses and typical monthly volume. If your roll is 3k and your winrate is >1BB/100 though this is a horrendously bad deal for you.

Yeah, wtf is that?

Sometimes I pretend that you have a sense of humor, but it doesn't usually work out

yes its bad deal, stop it. You have 3000 thats plenty of money for 1/2 and 2/4 *if you want to be very safe 1/2 is fine, it all depends how many hours you can play each day. Also type in some monthly expenses.

I guess that deal would be there if you loose your 3k so take it when you start badly!

You look like you can play lot of volume 8 tabling is lot of hands so thats help variancea a lot!

that depends how fast he wants to move up to mid levels I think. *some people are just comfortable at lower limits


also what is your goal in vpp points this year, because if you are not supernova it might not be best idea to play on stars.

Basically we are looking for serious players who want to get better and are willing to help others out in the group. All you need is skype and a program called Mikogo maybe some of you are familiar with it? The way we will be doing it is kinda like hand swapping but instead the group will take turns sweating each other while one member plays live. The Mikogo program allows us to see the cards of the person who is playing so everyone can discuss strategy. We are yet to set this group up but are getting names and info together at the moment. Not sure how much more I can say with out mod approval so if interested PM me.

I've played in some really good 3/6 games this week for a change... mostly in EST evenings there have been a lot of fishy games. They weren't very good this afternoon, but at one point I was sitting at a table with 4 55+ VPIP players...

I want to be able to move up but last 3 months I have had to withdraw $2k to cover living expenses. So this allows me to move up much quicker as well as make withdraws for living expenses. If I could keep all the money online this stake deal would not even be considered. I finally reached Nova this month after 2 months of 24 tabling 1/2 limit FR. Made the switch back to 6 max start of the month FR is just to boring and I lost .51BB/100 during this stretch at the tables but made a nice amount in fpps.

I agree that the games have improved lately at 1/2.

so you need 700$ per month?

This deal is terrible, it would prevent you from moving up. 50k hands until you get to 3 6? You are rolled for it now pretty much. But what exactly are your monthly living expenses, and how many hands of 6max can you play 6 tabling per month?

Yuck made a response for you sledge but somehow lost it. $1500 is my monthly expenses and I am in the process of moving so I need to pull out extra money. So no I am not rolled to move up on my own currently. I can play approx 84k hands a month give or take some depending mainly on how I run. If I start to tilt I log off as soon as I catch myself.

I ran the numbers for this deal I would make $4k more in my 60% share for the rest of the year just in bonus money. I added up the amount I would win total if I played 1/2 the rest of the year for my self approx, + what I would get in RB compared to me reaching the 500k milestone mark. So it is $4k + what ever win rate I have while playing for him more then if I finished the year at 1/2 if all goes well. I hope that makes since anyways posted my hand sample for any advice on things to plug when I move up?

kmt5 where are you from?

Not sure why you ask but Vegas why?

Kmt,
Start playing 2 4 on your own. If you drop 1k, quit and do the staking deal. That way just in case you run bad, you'll have 1.5 months of living expenses covered, and you can grind risk free (staked) for the rest. More likely though, you'll run normal and never need staking again, which will be far more profitable for you.

That a pretty damn good Idea thanks Sledge and nice to meet a few of you.
