Convince me to stake you
 

Okay, so since I am busto and running out of good karma, I want to find some "diamonds in the rough" to stake for something nl 200 and below. Criteria are as follows - good at poker and willing to put in a lot of hands.

Post some PT screenshots, as much info as you can, lots of sample sizes, link posts you have made in the past that highlight your strategic thinking, do anything to make yourself look good. In a way your writing a poker resume, and if yours looks good then you'll get the job, so to speak. I'll stake anything below NL 400; the split will determine how good you look on paper.

And plz don't send me pms or try to IM me, try to keep it in this thread. Even if you don't need a stake, this might be a good time to evaluate your own game and accomplishments, and see how valuable you really are. I figured this post loosely fits into BBV because i know it attracts a lot of people who might be interested in getting out of a hole.

Good luck and holla,

Bakes

They could get staked for 40 buyins for whatever limit that they are playing at. The person getting staked could use the extra buy ins to open up his game to a LAG style, that way he can double his bankroll or go on monkey LAG tilt and lose it all. Should be fun.

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

whats the deal bakes? send me this 400, i will 4 table and send u the goods back when u have seen enough so we can make a deal.

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

what happened whya re you busto?

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

You can stake me but I'd have to quit my job.

I can start for you as early as Thursday, as I have some pretty important phone calls to make tomorrow, so it would be a bad day to quit.

Also, if you're busto...how are you planning on staking me?

Oh yeah....almost forgot....100% no risk to you!

I win at poker and I'm good at life. Unfortunately I have no roll due to paying my own way through school and some other stuff I had to pay off. My 2+2 posting career as a whole has pretty much sucked, but I come hear to read insight from others, not to expound my wisdom upon everyone.

Holla.

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

This looks like a serious thread, so here's a serious reply.

I play NL200 full ring, and I think I'm one of the best regulars there. No one on 2+2 that I don't know personally knows my account, and I intend to keep it that way. I think I crush the regs fairly well, for a few reasons:

Those regs are nitty, [censored] regs that 12-table and play robotically. I think most of my hands through and I am a solid winner over 100k hands. I discuss my hands regularly (read: every day, every hour) with friends. I play with 50 buyins for 200nl, and am waiting for more for 400nl. That's the only thing that's keeping me.

I've also got a good work ethic. I don't tilt, and when I realize I'm fatigued and no longer playing my A game, I stop.

You could speed up my process by boosting me to 400nl, where I would probably play a few k hands/day. I'd keep sending back whatever I made every day until the debt was paid off, and then I'd keep sending money until I've paid off the profit. Daily graphs, daily reports, whatever.

I also have a few high-stakes players who can vouch for me, since I am a fairly well-known tournament organizer for StarCraft. I've dealt with money before, and I keep my word.

It's very hard to find someone who has a higher winrate than I at full ring. Check the full ring forum; they're all marginally winning at 2ptbb. Here are my stats:

Essentially low variance.

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

Hi Bakes,

A little background:
I started playing poker roughly 2 years ago when I was 17, a Junior in high school. My first ever game was a house game with high school friends 0.10 cent 0.20 cent No Limit house game. I bought in 5 dollars and ran it up to 28 dollars without knowing which direction a rotation went and when to post the small and big blinds. I was immediately intrigued by the possibilities had to offer. After playing cash games with friends for 8 months I decided to deposit 50 dollars onto PartyPoker almost exactly 1 year ago (I remember it was on 5/17, the day before my 18th birthday). Over the next month or two I grinded it up to 298 dollars playing 0.10/0.25 cent NL holdem. Then, I placed third in a $3 dollar re-buy tourney on PartyPoker for $1,100. By the end of last summer, I had almost $2000. I did not know about the twoplustwo.com community at that time and did not know about PokerTracker and PAHUD. I cashed out everything I had to my Vanguard account that my parents gave me for my 18th birthday so I could prepare and focus on my first year in college. In college everything was going well and I had some spare time so I would often play house-games with suitemates. Even though the limits are low (0.25/0.50 NL with 10-20 dollar buyin) I am up about 300 dollars from that this year (Roughly 20-30 buyins from ~12 sessions). I also go to my local casino a lot (Barona Valley Ranch is San Diego) and from the 15 times I have gone I have won 12 times, lost twice, and broke even once. From Barona I am up overall +1470 as of 5/20/07. All this time, I have been depositing all my winnings to my Vanguard account.

The reason why I ask for this stake is because when I play online, I only deposit 100-200 dollars so I can only grind out the low limits such as 0.05/0.10 NL and 0.10/0.25 NL. I have taken a shot at NL100 once and got a bad beat for half my roll (flush < flush). I am almost sure I can beat this limit; however, I never had to resources to have a stable bankroll. I now have PokerTracker and HUD thanks to a 2p2er who sold me the codes for half the price (refer to earlier threads).

It is extremely difficult for me to get money onto poker sites because I ask my friend Andrew to use his ePassporte and then give him the cash IRL. I do not have the resources to deposit myself as I have strict parents who would not approve of this (and I honestly don’t want to do this behind their backs).

I have few stats but not many because I have only recently obtained PT and HUD and PokerGrapher but I, along with my friends who play poker, all know I am a winning player who has never been given an opportunity to grow his roll online.

I truly wish you can take this into account and give me an opportunity to run with the big dogs. If you need anything else please respond on your post or PM or AIM me.

Have a good one.

P.S. here is today's session for me:

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

Oxy you made $6.49 why would he stake you? If he had half your action he could MAYBE buy a happy meal. Its close though, that [censored] getting expensive nowadays.

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

This is just another one of those 2+2 desperation checks isnt it?

Im sick of working, stake me.

Re: Convince me to stake you
 

^^^^ is an awesome application. Stake Oxy.

Re: Convince me to stake you
