I'm trying to decide what I want to do this summer... intern + summer classes, travel or degen it up in Vegas. This will help in that decision.

Anyone want to stake me for WSOP events?

I've been playing poker seriously for about 4 years. Initially, I played $11 - $55 SNGs, then moved to LHE. I've played around 2 million hands of LHE and beaten up to 50/100 consistently. The vast majority of those hands are at 10/20+. I don't have enough hands at 100/200+ to prove I'm a winner.

I then played NL 6max cash for a bit and beat up on 3/6 for a while. Maybe around 200k hands of that. After that, I shortstacked for about 1 million hands. My WR for all of these is very solid. I have always been one of the biggest winners at any game I played regularly. The shortstacking in particular would come in handy in tournaments. I am, without a doubt, top 10 in the world at <20bb nl play.

Tournament play has been very sporadic. Whenever I'm bored, I'll play one. My record is not proven in them.

I have cashed out in the mid 6 figures over the past 4 years, nearly all from cash game play. PT stats and graphs are available on request, although I might have some trouble getting my older stats. I'm willing to play a bunch of tournaments to prove myself as well.

Here's the deal people. This kind of thing isn't allowed in MTTc, but now is in the marketplace. However, if I move this thread over there it'll get deleted for not being part of the main thread.

So unless you turn this into a community hatefest for kurosh and put that picture of him up I regret to say I'll be forced to delete the thread.

Sorry, you should add it to the FAQ. I checked all those things. Didn't even know the marketplace existed.

No problem at all. I'm just really high and saw an opportunity to derail a thread with that crazy picture.

I guess being good at 20bbs means you like an extra 20lbs

Not going to name any names, but obviously the pro shortstacks at 5/10+ are all good. There are only about 3 or 4 of them. I am very secretive about all things related to shortstacking for obvious reasons.

these staking requests seem like those annoying phone calls/emails from touts in the sportsbetting world.

I really don't understand how this has not gotten more love. Easily Shaundeeb's best post in months. (& spelled 100% correctly too!)

OT

While I'm enjoying the kurosh poking... this is actually a pretty weak point.
