I am offering 2 types of deals and am considering applications now via PM.
What I offer:
Deal A: I stake you to play, terms will vary according to how well you satisfy the criteria laid out below. Coaching is available as required. You will be encouraged to move up in stakes as soon as your results warrant it. There is also an incentive plan available that rewards strong performance, with weekly and monthly bonuses payable.
Deal B: I agree to a coaching arrangement for a share in profits. “No win, no fee” coaching. For this deal to be appropriate for you, you have to have sufficient bankroll to stake yourself and you have to play enough games or at a high enough stake so that your expected weekly profit makes it possible for me to cover the cost of training.
What you will do in return: Hit agreed volume targets, reply promptly to all emails, and return a weekly results form, in addition to adhering to all other terms of the contract at all times.
Here are the criteria that I will consider when deciding on choosing horses:
1) Volume is crucial. The greater volume you can commit to, the better I am going to like your application.
2) Sharkscope ROI and profit. A positive ROI over >1500 games is essential for staking deals and should be in line with solid winning regular players at your average stake. Players with negative Sharkscope history can still be considered for coaching deals. Cash players should be able to document previous results as well.
3) Personal references from a well known and active member of the poker community. The more references you can get from reputable players that I know and trust, the better your chances of being selected. Non-poker references, whie less desirable, will still be considered.
4) Driver’s licence submitted and/or volunteered personal financial details as assurance against the financial exposure that I will have with you.
5) Applications are particularly encouraged from players with a willingness and capability to play on networks that do not accept US players. DON players are also particularly encouraged to apply.
If you would like to be considered and feel you meet the requirements laid out above, please send me a PM with the following information. Brief answers are appreciated.
a) All screen names you have on all sites.
b) Are you applying for Deal A or B?
c) What game type you want to play (such as 9-man turbos, scheduled MTT, double-or-nothing, $100 NL Cash, or multi-table SNG), desired buyin, and what sites you would be willing to play.
d) The minimum number of games you will agree to play each week, or minimum number of hands for a cash stake.
e) Why you need a stake
f) A concise paragraph on your playing history
g) All references, preferably well-known members of the poker community, or any further assurance you can provide to satisfy me that you won’t disappear the day after I send the funds. Concrete details are strongly encouraged.
Please reply to this thread with "PM Sent," and also include all screennames in your post in accordance with the new staking forum policy.
I will reply to all PMs including the seven points above, whether you have been selected or not.
(Also please don't send multiple PMs, thanks.)
