I have been playing poker professionally for about 5 years now and I have had a lot of success without hitting the huge score or taking major shots. In live tournaments I have an outstanding record and have final table up to 2K buy in events. I am interested in finding a backer to take shots at some 5K events or bigger. I have read about how guys like Cliff Josephy and Eric Haber have had big success backing a long list of players including Joe Cada in his main event win. How does one go about getting this kind of backing either live or online? Maybe it is that I live in Louisiana or don't hit the trail as much but I don't know where these kind of backers are. Just wondering if anyone has any stories to share about major backing or info into how to get in touch we the type of people willing to make realistic business decisions. Hope this thread goes. Thanks

Also you will need to show some stats...If online either OPR or Sharkscope if live you should be able to find links to big cashes you have had. Good luck and post where RUBINH showed you and you'll be doing great

Cheers and Welcome to 2+2

That's no way to welcome a new 2+2er. Guy posted in the wrong forum, you point him in the right direction, you don't spit in his face.

Good luck, OP.

Unless you have 1mm+ in live cashes, or absurd online success you somehow haven't mentioned, you aren't going to find some stranger to back you for live 5k+ tournaments.

PM Max Katz about buying your live action if you have results. Just guessing, but doubt Bax just does one time deals/live only deals unless you're a miraculously good player, if even then.

Maybe my intentions were misunderstood. I didn't post this looking for some miraculous backing deal from a stranger. I would like to hear about others who have had success in tournaments due to finding strong support and backing. And how they were able to put themselves in that position.

What I've discovered is that if you run really well you don't need backers.
