Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and just wanted some input. I have been playing on Cake for about 2 years now, mainly SNG's and have done extremely well... 8,000 Games, 17% ROI... Anyways, I am going to try and make the move to Poker Stars or Full Tilt and wanted input on which site to move too... Or which site everyone likes to play more...

Also on a side note, If anyone would be interested in a possible staking arrangement to help me with the move to one of the new sites, I am willing to grind $2 SNG's with a deal of 80/20 to the staker...

I am available for contact on AIM - Mentor01010, Any help would be appreciated! Thank You

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/135/staking/ staking forum. Good luck, but your gonna need a lot of hard evidence to back yourself up if you want to get staked.

Get RB on FTP, better value than PS for the average player

if u gonna play tens of thousands of SNGs in very short periods of time then go to PS and try to reach mega-super-bad-ass nova which is the only status that's really worth something in their VIP system. otherwise go to FT and get rakeback.

regarding getting staked... there's a staking forum in the marketplace which is meant for this type of request. but have in mind that because u just registered this month and have only 3 posts there's pretty much 0 chance someone will stake u. it's still worth a try if u have convincing evidence that u r in fact a long time winner @ cake (sharkscope, etc). gl.

Well I appreciate the advice!!

I understand the staking concern, That is how I started on cake, I was staked $22 and we decided to do an 80/20 split at the end of 1 week of play... I ended the week with a bankroll of $364 from $2 SNG's... I never expected that kind of return but it was great to be a proven player and have had continued success!

Once again thanks for the advice...

Yeah, when you post in the staking forum, I think you should probably propose 60/40 if you've documented your 17% ROI over that sample though. Why on earth would you volunteer an 80/20 split? I mean, with your post count and join date, you may have to settle for it, but I'd definitely try to get 60/40 first if I were you. GL with your move!

Well I understand that I am completely new to the forums, so I figure I would make an offer that is certainly +EV for the person staking... Also I would not be asking for a huge stake, just something to get me started on one of the new sites I move to! $20-$40 would seem reasonable
