Hello guys,
i'm looking for highly motivated individuals to play under my roof and guidance for a while and make you and me some decent money in the process.
I'm playing Poker for a living since beginning 2009 and for the case you don't know me you will find abit more info about me in my blog which was quite "famous" back in the days:
Since the link doesnt seem to work you can google for: Pokercanchangeyourlife
My general approach in Poker was never to be the best, but to make as much money as i can and live a lifestyle other people in my age cannot. I was allegedly one of the biggest "bumhunters" who played on stars and i'm also one of the few guys who probably played more than 15million hands on there becoming Supernove Elite twice. But enough about me.
My goal is to find a couple of motivated stakees to play for me. I will provide you
with very good games and the rest is up to you.
This wont be a coaching and staking kinda thing like many others. I never coached and i haven't worked on my game since 2014 or so (i still win decently though in the games i grind) but with the money you make you will certainly be able to hire a way more qualified coach than i could ever be and work on your game if you feel like it.
Lets go to through the list of what i would expect of you/what i would require of you in order to work with me:
- you should have a pokerbackground: what i mean by this is you should already be playing for a while. if you started two weeks ago this is not what im looking for
- you should be able to provide me with a trackrecord of the past 6 months. stuff like: "i lost my database", "i got a new computer now" and all this nonsense wont fly with me
- you should be able to multitable and you should be able to play volume. i'm not looking for people who can play only 5hours/week. i'm looking for people who are hungry for money and have time and motivation to grind hard for it
- you should be at very least a breakeven player at NL10+ or a big winner for the case you play lower than this at the moment - everybody is welcome and i will consider each and every application i will get
- for what we are doing you will need a strong computer. a gaming desktop is better than a laptop, you will need a strong CPU and you will need 16GB ram or more and preferably a good GPU (no worries, we wont run a bot nor will we run a solver in realtime, it's just playing poker business as usual but we need more ressources in order for you to multitable effectively)
- also this isnt necessarily only for cashgame players - if you are an MTT or Spin guy who is currently transitioning i will consider you as well
if you can agree to all of the stuff mentioned above we are almost ready for the application process!
we would start in the NL50 area and like with any staking deal i will take all the risk and pay for the case you should be losing!
The initial deal will be 60% in my favour and if you put in the work/volume/results we will be able to quickly move to a 50/50 sort of arrangement and also can move up the stakes hopefully. For the case you have an insanely strong trackrecord to provide over a decent sample we might be able to negotiate something better than 40% in your favour before starting!
Application process will go like this:
You gonna send me an email to
TimStone16@gmx.de with the subject "staking" and we take it from there. If i like what i see we will move the conversation to skype where we could go abit more into details!
In the application i would expect the following to be included:
- why exactly are you looking for a stake? Is NL50 atm to high for you to play on your own role? Are you feeling more confident playing w/o risking your own money, etc. - be as specific as you can!
- what is your pokerbackground? when did you start? what are your goals for the future? how much time can you commit into this? etc
- include results of at least the past 6 months (if you send less than 6months WHY?) i would like to see a graph including EV and a stat overview VPIP PFR 3BET F3 etc (also prove that it is yours as in if you are sending a Stars graph make sure to attach a screenshot of you being logged into that stars account as well)
- include a screenshot of the current computer system you plan on playing: CPU, RAM, GPU, desktop? laptop?
That would be all so far from my part. Obviously if you have any questions at all you can include those in the email as well but honestly it will be easier to answer them once i have you on skype at a later point in time - however i see what i can do in this regard!
best of luck and hope to hear from you guys soon!
